A YEAR ago Mr.. Speelman, a grocer

of Houston, Texas, sent his wife with 81 600 to
the faiherland after a legacy left her: ie"
days after Speelman's partner, one Hertoizer,
sold his interest and left for the North. Inc
faithless wife and paramour met at Dallas, IN
the same State, where they have lived ever
since as man and wife. Hertolzer opened
grocery there. One day Houston friend came
across him and his assumed wife and informed
Speilman. who arrived there on the 18th inst.
Hertolzer got an inkling that his outraged
partner was coming and made his escape.
Spellman had his wife arrested, but after few
hours she was released, and the PROBABILITY is
thev returned home together.

ROME, Feb. 17-The Latin text Of
the Papal Encyclical letter against di-
vorce fills twelve columns Of The OBJ
serr0t0re ROm0nO 1t argues in favor
Of the removal Of the rite Of marriage
from all civil jurisdiction whatsoever.
1t traces the history Of marriage from
patriarchal to Catholic times, and de-
clares that Christ elevated it 10 a sac
ramcnt, which only His Church can
administer The attempt made under
various guises by the modern spirit Of
irreligion to rob the Church Of her
right, either to bind or loose the mar
riage tie, must be resisted by the whole
Catholic world. His Holiness indicates
the conditions whereunder separation
Of husband and wife may be sanctioned
by the Church, and concludes with an
exhortation TO the universal episcopate
to communicate his teaching to the
faithful for their welfare in both
worlds.

A Great Mistake Corrected.

In our issue Of Jan. 2sth, under the heading
"A shrewd Clergyman" we gave an account Of
Rev. Lane, Of Kensico, who had been mr.
raigned for kissing some of his female mem
bers and to our great surprise, we learned that
either through ignorance or malice, or both,
some persons started the impression that Ken
sico was merely fictitious name, and that the
article was intended az a malicious drive at
Rev. y. Lane, Of this county. And now, we
consider IL due the latter as Christian minis
ter 10 say that the article was copied from the
New York Sun, and has reference TO Rev.
Lane, Of Kensico, ". Y. Our mistake in the
issue Of Jan. 2stb was the omission Of y. Y.
after Kensico, leaving it indefinite, and our
second mistake In our issue Of Feb. 18th, I'M
der the heading "a Great Commotion," arose
from our not knowing that otheys had tira APP
piled, or supposed it 10 apply, to Rev. >. Lane
We very much regret the indefiniteness which
gave room for this annoyance, both To him and
to us. The CITIZEN ~ above any willful wrong
and we believe that Rev. s. Lane is above the
reach Of any real harm from the ignorance or
malice Of those who oppose his denunciations
Of sin. We did not know such minister was
in this county until this matter arose.

A Young man by the name Of William KOtz,
coachman for Mr. Charles Mcclellan, came to
my store one morning complaining that his
feet hurt him very badly, and expressing fears
that they were frost-bitten. He had in vain
tried to get relief by consulting physicions,
and had endeavored, without success, TO ease
the paine by rubbing his feet with snow and
ice, the remedy applied in such cases. Being
exposed great deal to the cold by his occupation
his feet got worse daily, until one day he
tainted in the street. A few days after he
again came TO my store and showed me his
feet. / have seen great many sores in my
life, but nothing to equal this, and was afraid
the poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked me for ST. JACOBS OIL; but at first re-
fused as did not wish to take the response
bility upon myself, not being great admirer
Of so-cafled Patent Medicines. However, some
friends, who happened 10 be in the store at the
time, begged me give the ST.. JACOBS OIL 10

the OIL, and he took the remainder with him.
After nine days the same again came into

write to you Of this most wonderful cure; he
also stated, that two other persons had been
cured Of rheumatism by the same bottle which
helped him JOHN LEyZEs.

Base Ball Giants.

A gigantic base ball contest will
take place to-day, on Washington
Square, commencing at 8 O'Clock,
and lasting. in all probably, the whole
day. This contest is between mines
from Walker Bros and Auerbach &
Bros stores. In order 10 give the
levisthan contestants full scope the
benches formerly used Tor seats have
been removed, while the grass has
been allowed to grow so that
the ball may be more difficult to find,
and thus render the game more ex-
citing. The losing nine puts up the
filthy to cover the expenses, which
will at once appear as a startling
amount, the damage likely to be done
to bats, hands and heads, not TO men
ton the sarssparilla and arnics, being
beyond all comprehension. The in
habitants in the vicinity of the square
are warned to decamp, or their blood
will be on their own crsniums. Fol-
lowing are the mines in batting and
fielding order:
