 This promise. made in the presence Of Mra. Bailey. had been utterly disregarded, and the two have continued together since they left Danbury 1 he effect of theexposure of the affairs of the two people is such that they have abandoned their temperance work and did not speak at Wethersfeld last night, as they had advertised to do. The COuTaat publishes a letter from Mrs. Butcher to Mir. Bailey. urging him to try get her husbandto separate from the woman and return to his wife and family. She states that she did sign letter giving her consent for him to travel with Mrs. Watson. but did it un
