sick ut the house of friend in New
York. Her husband, believing her.
took her again TO his bosom. They
came to Brooklyn to reside, and are
now living in Atlantic avenue. This,
however, is not the first time the lady
has left her home.
About two years since she diappeared
with a man who was reputed 70 have
considerable money. He soon became
tired Of her, and gave her $500 bill 10
return home with. She probably left
Mr.. Owen from the fact that he did not
have $500 bill to give her.
The Rev. Mr.. Ware apologized rs well
as he could for the erring couple, after
reading the letter. He said that Mr..
Owen, after leaving home, went 70
Toronto, Canada. There he relented
the step he had taken and sent the lady
home. His intention, he said, was TO
60 where he was not known and then
send for his wife, making . full con-
fession to her, but he thought of his
church and concluded to return and
endeavor TO lift the stain from il. The
reverend gentleman said he was glad
that Mr.. Owen had returned and made
this frank confession.
The name Of the lady with whom Mr..
Owen eloped is suppressed from pru-
dental reason, ut the present time.
The affair has caused quite little SEN
sation in church circles, and has afforded
considerable gossip among the members
of the johnson Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church.

car, which came through on the Union
Pacific Railroad in 26 days, being someg hat

at the large rancho diaries in the suburbs of
San Francisco, which averages each from

competent judges to have few superiors in
that direction. The butter, which is Of the

East the climate of the Pacific being such
as to afford new grass butter as early as Janu-

diaries are owned by old Vermonters, two Of
whom were specially Observation-Disclosures
McShafter, formerly of Townshend, and Mr.
Silas Pierce, the former of whom has 1000
COWS. The stock is mostly Durham, which
is considered the best for that section. The

proved itself particularly useful in this re-
spect in the neighborhOods of Washington
and Philadelphia, where its cultivation has
rendered whole quarters healthy and fever
free, which had previously boon uninhabita-
bic by the prevalence of fever. A Dutchman,
Won Alstein, whose property was situated
on some flooded land on the bank of the
Scheldt, has planted three or four plots
thirty or forty yards from his house, with
the effect Of so much improving the air that
for ten years no one on his property bad

continued to prevail on neighboring proper

celent fodder, and the stem being rich IN
saltpetre and potash, makes a good fuel.

MANUFACTURING SPECIMENS OF CoKN.-It
is stated that Mr.. Judson, the branching
corn man, has been arrested for - doctoring
specimens Of Dent corn. The process may
be thus described The arm which springs
from the stalk is dissected down, and an ear
with part of the foOt-stock Is inserted and
glued therein, so as to escape detection, ex-
cept upon the most critical examination.
the case is now in court, we understand
and shows very badly for Judson, personally,
as well as the branching corn. A party to
whom he had sold right" or agency,
caused the arrest, for procuring money under
false pretenses.
