Doings by an Adventures.

A correspondent. in the west Of Eng
land writes: A remarkable affair ig re-
ported from fashionable seaside town in
the west. About 18 months ago ares
spectacle artisan lost his wife, and beinr
left with several children he advertised for
housekeeper. IIe received a sreply from
widow" and after negotiations by let
ter they came to terms. She represented
that she had been left $4,000, but being
desirous of continuing in service, she had
accepted the present situation. In few
weeks she became her employers wife,
the $4,000 proving a tempting bait. In
the course OF a short time Il gentleman
who was going abroad called on the
family. He wished as al old friend OF the
lady to give her a present before leaving
England, and he was accordingly repre-
sented as having deposited 81 800 in a To-
cal bank on her account. Up TO this time
the parties had been living in gresprct-
able terrace, but tho lady now objected to
q terrace" I" aud Il villa was taken. In a
short time she expressed desire to pur-
chase the villa-''rhey might as we'll be-
come their own landlord'-and negotia-
tions were accordingly commenced land the
work OF laying out carriage drive, build
ing stables, &C., was begun. At this time
letters and "documcnts' were coming to
and going from the house. Before, how
ever, the deposit for the villa was paid the
husband was anxious to have the legal
control Of the sfortune" made over to
him, as had been arranged, but the wife
made various excuses. Meantime a credi-
tor met at the house a solicitor who had
beeu engaged by the wife to draw up the
necessary documents, and the result was
a visit Of the legal gentleman to a town
some miles off to see Il ':Co1onel'' repre-
sented by the lady as one Of her Trustees.
No such per son, however, could be found.
and on a subsequent visit to the Probate
Court Of the county town to inspect the
will Of both her father and late husband.
| who were stated to have been clergvmen
OF the county, no trace Of any such wills
could be found. The lady, finding that
inquiries were being made, absconded,
and the husband soon discovered that she
had run him into debt to the amount Of
870O. The poor man, who had given up
his employment soon after his marriage In
view of the fortune" is thus ruined, and
much sympathy is felt for him. The wo-
man is suspected to be the same nerson
who few years ago, in Il seaside resort
in the same county, took a large house,
furnished it elaborately as clearinghouse
and after living in the best style for a
time and making away with some of the
furniture, suddenly disappeared.-Londoa
