VIM. ED. SPRUANCE, residing down
the Neck, was the innocent cause of
much anxiety to his family last week.
He left home for Philadelphia on Wed
nesday, to return the next day, and
his carriage was on hand ready to
convey him thither on his arrival.
The same was true of Friday and Sat
urday and when he did not come on
the five o'clock train of the latter dav.
and not having written, as was his
custom when he was DELAYED, his
family became extremely concerned.
A dispatch was forthwith forwarded to
Philadelphia to Mr.. Kahn, where he
stopped, inquiring of his whereabouts.
and an answer received that relieved
all apprehension, stating that he had
left there that afternoon for the steamer
Ella, and would be at home that night.
The simple truth seems to have been
that Mr.. Spruance was having a good
time in the city, enjoying a little vaca-
ton, and forgot that in his absence, the
days were longer at home than where
he was.
