Congressional district my sincere thanks
for their expression of confidence in me,
as evidenced by the action of their del
egatcs in the convention. Ihaye given
this matter my careful consideration, and
have secured ali information possible
to enable me to make an intelligent
decision as to the proper course to pur-
sue. The result is that deem it best

LEFT WIFE AND EoME.-It was re-
ported on the streets to-day that a
young man of this city, who held 4 lu-
crative position in one of the govern
ment departments in Washington and
who, over year since, married an esti-
mable young lady Of this city, had left
his wife and home, probably never TO
return. The report in circulation is
that soon after the young mans
marriage he took his bride TO one
of the hotels here and that his
inordinate love for gambling caused
him to spend much of his time from
home. and to lose most of his money.
About two months since his wife went
to visit friends in New York and re-
~ ued a few days since. On Sunday
lie informed her of his intention Of leav-
ing the city and on Monday insisted
on her accompanying him to the depot.
There, while standing on the step OF
a car, he babe her goodbye and said
You may never see me again-you
may see my body" In short
time the train started and the
recreant husband may now be many
miles from home. The young wife,
who has no children has returned TO her
fathers house, another melancholy
monument to the fckleness Of enc of
the masculine gender The young man
is said to be heavily in debt.
