Gov. Hubbard,s Dau 2 httr,

HARTFORD, April 2. -Frederick Shepard and his
wife, the daughter of exGov. Hubbard, still remain
in this city. The Montreal dispatch announcing
their journey westward was incorrect. There is no
disposition to make any negotia,ions though Shepard
and his wife would be very glad to do SO. 1t is de-
cided that Gov. Hubbard will have nothing to do
with Shepard though probably ifhis daughter would
leave him. Gov Hubbard would receive her back
Shepard continues alarmed over the warlike a.
titude of the Hubbard family and fears that bis life
would be in danger should be show himself in public,
1t is probable that Gov. Hubbard has used very
strong expressions concerning him. even to threats
ofinflcting personal violence Most people in Hart
ford accepted the Montreal dispatch as correctly
reporting the flight of the coupe-as it was the first
and only published alluson to the affair in any Hart.
ford paper-and it is not yet generally known that
the coachman and his bride are here.
