We learn from the COhfteT, Inht u
a wife at St. Adams, to satisfy an
anxiety long felt to visit some Of her
husbands relatives, living some
place near Gallipolis, Ohio, kissed
her husband goodbye, last Wednes-
day and boarded the steamer West
Virginia, and with her paramour
turned her back on her former part
ner and home forever. She left
word with a neighbor, who happened
to be at the wharf.boat, that she
never loved him and had gone with
a man named Brown, never to return;
the womans' name was Walters, and
from what we can gather from the
Courier, kind indulgent husband
and two children; a baby one year
old, and a little boy aged four years,
the former she took with her, leav-
ing the boy with his father Such
occurrences as this are getting quite
common. We believe long court
ships are the hest and they seem to
stick better. No doubt theaboye was
the result of too hasty conclusion.
A SAD C4sE.-on Tuesday last
Mr.. John H. Marley, one of the ju-
rors in the trial of Carl Cartright for
the murder of the old man Starkey,
received information from home that
one of his children was dead, and
vet SO strict is the law in regard to
persons serving on juries in murder
cases that Mr.. Manley could not be
released to go home and attend the
funeral Of his dead child, though he
tried in every possible manner to get
away. The Judge, however was in
exorable, and the little one was bur
led forever from the fathers sight
Fairn,cnt Vest Hirginian.
A case like the above, is one of the
many in which Judge has no
choice; to have permitted the juror
Manley, to have gone home under
any reasonable circumstances, would
have acquitted the prisoneT yet
there are many who would criticise
the Judge in the above case without
looking at the law that governs the
trial of such causes. 1t was sad
case indeed, aud the only way that
we can conceive by which Mr.. Man
ley could have been permitted to go
home to take a last look upon his
child, would have been in company
with "elevcn other good and lawful
men," in charge of the Sheriff
This we think should have been
done, if the distance was not too
great. We presume the Judge never
read, "Put yourself in his place"
Why don't somebody do some
thing? This week has been as bar
ran of events, out of which VIC
might manufacture locals, as the
great Sandy Desert is Of the "Milk
and Honey" of old. Now just for
our individual benefit. be kind
enough to let u horse run of, or knock
somebody down, stand your trial and
pay your fine like a 'little man.
Do something to l.clp us out, until
Tip. returns and we promise you by
all that is near and dear to US, that
we will never be caught in this posi-,
ton again.
A considerable number of our
United States Senators, attended the

more the other day.
Wonder if they think that is the
kind of legislationthat their constitu-
ents delight in?
