WIFE AND FAMILY ABANDONED IN DESTITUTE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BY THE WIFE AND
LIVELY ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.
Some three or four years ago, Martin V.
Twitchell was resident Of this city. He oc-
cupied the house 9l3 East Eighth street, and
was n caulker by trade. or indolent habits and
a badmanager, the world went in with him, and he
became heavily encumbered with debt, for a
man in his circumstances, obtaining credit
wherever he could And when he could no
longer impose upon the credulity OF his friends
he started off to obtain livelihood among
other people, locating at yorktown, in Wicomico
county Md.
At long intervals he returned toNvisit his fam
ily whom he left behind-a wife and four chill
dren, the youngest small child and the eldest
about IA years OF age. In the meantime he had
formed the acquaintance and conceived special
liking for a Mrs Jackson there, but whether
there was anything more than warm friend
ship between them has not transpired Certain
II is, however, that she was at least privy to all
his business transactions, and may have been a
partner in them, for his business (buying and
selling fish was conducted in the name OF Jack
son 4 Co.
Time wore on and the enlargement between
himself and family grew wider and wider. and ho
ceased to visit them at all. His remittances OF
| money had ceased altogether, and his wife and
children were thrown upon the cold charity Of
the world. Twice she sought her husband at
/ Yorktown, but when he heard of her presence
there, he left the plase and refused to return
while she remained. This drove her back to
| Wilmington. and here she continued to drag ont
a miserable existence, until her furniture was
seized for debt, and she turned homeless into
| the world.
A third time she went down to Yorktown,
taking with her her children, determined to soc
her truant husband, See took mp her abode in
the same house which Twitchell had made hii
home. She had remained but few days how
ever, before she espied Mrs. Jackson carrying
teas. etc, to some one up stairs who was evi
IDENTIFY confined by sicknets, and suspecting tina
the person was her husband, she made an effor
to mount the staircase, and was Immediately se
upon by Mrs. Jackson. But maddoned by jeal
ousy and made strong by desperation, Mrs
Twtchell soon became master OF the situation
when Mrs. Jaobson's cries attracted to her assis
tance DIR. Allen, and the two soon overpoweret
the deserted wife.
A suit followed before Magistrate. when AIrp
Jackson was fined and required to pay the costs
Justice for once triumphed in law but it is ye
unappeased in that the deserted wife has no
been requited for the misery entaied by her hus
band She is still at Yorktown, but how sh
maintains herself we do not know.

A Pea for Dumb Creatures
b Me Kdilor "a "a Comnlercial.

10 me hdNOr OF Ve commercial:
Humanity prompts to well organized effort
in our city in behalf OF dumb animals. II the
noble and patient horse on our reefs could
speak he would cry out against the injustice and
cruelty Of his driver, the fre lusnt barbarty of
whom il sufficient to make any one with the
common feelings of humanity rghteously indg-
uant.
The instances Of horses overloaded, working
with necks raw from the friction of the collar,
or limping with painful effort because Of a
lame foot or leg, and then cruelty beaten, are
by no means rare on our streets. II is common,
also, to see a horse driven furuusly on warm
day by men with less of the attributes Of hu-
manity than the beast they are driving.
All Of this ought to be checked, and can rea lily
be by a systematic and wsll-conoerted effort.
The horse is worthy Of more consideration than
he receives; he merits merciful treatment at
the hands OF his master or driver. Let a society
for the prevention Of cruelty to animals be insti-
tuted and the sentiment of the community will
sustain ii in it's plans to redress, in part the
wrongs Of the brute creation. Little time will
elapse before those having the care of the horse,
mule or COW, will be taught that 1t ls not safe to
outrage the feelings of the indignant spectators
by shameless acts of cruelty to the suffering
creatures. Such persons, finding that the horse
in particular has friends, will cease their cruel
ties, at least in public.
Such associations have been formed in other
cities, and have accomplished great good.
society of this kind is demanded here and when
formed will receive the support it merits A.
