city abruptly this winter for their native
land. IL seems that Englishmen are IN
the habit OF leaving their wives aud
families in the old country aud coming
here. where they marry again, accumu-
late three or four children and some
property, and then return suddenlly,
leaving their American wives destitute.

had "dozens and dozens y Of such cases
of desertion by Englishmen during
the past winter. IL is 10 be regretted
that these gentlemen, 30 necessary 10
the preservation Of n lofty tone among
us. should show such n wholesale dis
position TO leave America TO her iate'-
