done their best

A STRANGE CAsE.-Last March man and a
woman, both of them of Irish birth, engaged
board at a house on India street. They claim
ed to be brother and sister, and after stopping
some time the man left town and the woman
was engaged as servant. A short time since
he called at the house and asked her to 90 to
Ireland with him and she agreed to go. They
were to sail on the boat last night, and he
packed his trunk and prepared to go, but she
refused to do so, and in some way got cut of
his sight He then applied to Deputy Will
liams but it was long while before the wo.
man could be found. She declared at first that
she was not his wife, while he declared she
was. After quite dispute she acknowledged
that the man was her husband, but said that he
abused her SO she could not live with him.
An effort was made to reconcile them, but
without avail, and they shook hands and part
