lighenment and edncation of prospective brides and
bridegrooms Mr.. Theobold Is young man, and,
without Attempting to enlarge upon the peculiar ad-
vantages OF youth or It's attendant ioies it might be
well TO state that there is every to suppose
that Mr.. Theobod was mpress!onable young
man. II is fair to presume also that
In hfs earlier life, long before the
cares and responsibilities OF manhood werc
heapcd upon him he would delight 10 build imagna
tive Castles among which the biou cottage pre-.
sided over, taken OF and daily swept by the
prospective Mrs Theobold, who, as the novelist
would say pursued all the little witcheres aud charms
which Mr. Theobold's Imagination might credit her
with. The subsequent history OF this mans domestic
lie makes believe that this is not unlikely sup
position. Scarcely twenty-one, the proprietor OF a
wholesale millinery store in Boston, with wealthy
parents and not altogether rcgugnaut phys
iognomy, II IL not surprising that Mr. Theo-
bold should even at this carly stage Of his
life begin to be admired by the ladios, and
how Is shing that fattered by fncied
real admiration, he should suddenly form the idea Of
marrying and settling down In lie? Certain II IS that

one lne afternoon found himself in Syracuse, n. "
In the bosom OF the Kraft family with other ap-
parent object In view. Here he became acquainte ed

young lady, which acquaintance soon riponed into a
affection, and tho result was their marriage on
tho 10th Of last January. The newly made bride and
bridegroom took the accustomed honey moon tour and
IN due time arrived in Boston, where the first few days

APPALLING DISCOVERY.
About twenty days after their marriage. however, as
Mr. Theobold alleges, he had an ntimation that tho
partner oi his joys and grefs was not tho perfectly
chaste and spotless angel his mind had pictured |;
that the contrary her indiscrctons and wifcly in
ndeIities were notorious and nexcusabe. He charges
that positive proof OF this fact was obtained from
her own diary which contained virtual confession
OF her guilty intercourse with a man named Ganse
and other He asserts further that his wife aud
Ganse occupied the same section in Pull
car bound from Boston TO this city AS
might naturally bo anticipated tho perusal
of this evidence Of his we's guilt resulted rup-
ture between them. AZ further consequence Of tho
disclosures suit Tor divorce has been commenced by
Mr. 1heobold. The came up before Judge Iarre-
more IN the Court OF Common PIoas yesterday on
