The Jones-West faree is ended, and thu
! million Romance" sinks into its merlte,
obloquy. Mrs Jones, nee West-wher,
history, all who read this knew left Milton
several weeks ago, ostensibly to give enter
tainments in several towns. A part Of her

Her husband, Mr. Jones. since her departure
has found letter which she had written to
mantle name will not state, although
don't know the man, but have read the
letter and knew the name-and left behind
her From the tenor of this letter one
would Judge that it is not the first one writ
ten BY her to the same person Among
other things she tells him she is married
'but it is not too late for you yeti" and
81 expect TO be in New York this summer,
etc, etc." Now, Mr. Jones thinks her
leaving here for the purpose Of giving en-
teTtainments, was to raise funds with
which to get to New York; and that when
she left she expected never to return Her
husband says she took all of his former
wife's clothes and other things beside with
her And the old man remarked, 'She
must be an expert in doing up goods, to
get so many things in so small a valise y

she will never come to Milton any more, "
answered the husband. Why he was so
emphatic in his declaration ! do not know,
but he reiterated several times at my ques-
tons: She will never come to Milton any
more Whether Mr. Jones is to be pittied |
or blamed for this escapade is matter Of /
opinion. 1t does seem that a man who 1
has travelled as much as he has and seen !
as many phases Of society, should have |
known better than to pick up woman, !
unknOwn to himself, or to any of his I
friends But experience, that dearest and /
best of teachers, has made him wiser,
though, from his present appearance, not a
sadder man. Mr. Jones is out financially,
and certainly, is left in an unenviable con.
ditiOn. He IS now a married man, and
can't get married again until he gets d.
Vorce. and the divorce mill has closed for
a two years repairs. He don't care so
much about his wife leaving, if he wasn't
married There is the rub; aud it will cost
money to 90 to the court for 4 divorce.
That is the fruit of getting married. Bro
