Mysterieua Disappenrance.

A letter carrier named Charles Ken
drick, whose route was on Second street,
near Monroe. mysteriously disappeared
last Tuesday evening and has not been
heard of since Tuesday afternoon he
finished his postal business at the post
Office, changed his uniform for citizen S
suit, as was his usual habit, and when
last seen was standing on the corner of
Madison and Second streets, about i've
o clock in the afternoon, conyersing with
some person unknown. No cause can
be discovered for his strange disappear
ance. His accounts at the postofiice are
correct, his morals and habits were good,
and lot of his clothing is now in his
desk at the postofice, besides many other
things belonging to him, which he would
not be apt to leave if his absence was
voluntary and intended. His parents
and friends know nothing of his where
abouts and are much concerned at his
absence He was in the habit of carry
ing about his person several hundred
dollars, and this fact, taken in connection
with his sudden disappearance, would
indicate a probability that some foul
play has been committed. The police
are trying to throw some light upon the
seeming mystery. r.ar 81.

AIimony In New York.

A telegrsphic dispatch received last
night states that Judge Barnard, Of the
New York City Common Pleas Court,
decided the important marriage case Of
Brinkley VS.. Brinkley, according to the
precedent set in the case of Bissel VS..
Bissel. The judge declared he was I'M
able to distinguish one case from the
other. It viii be remembered that the
plaintiff in this action, Lizzie Charles,
had lived for a number Of years with the
defendant, Hugh Brinkley, who passed
her of as his wife. The judge there
fore gave decree for alimOhy and coun-
sci expenses. In the Bissel vs.. Bissel
case in New York, II was decided that a
recognition by the parties Of their rela-
lions as husband and wife before wit
nesses was a good and valid marriage in
that State, hence the decision of Judge
Barnard in the present case. w
