A lady from the Stato of Maine came to the city last week on her way to California. She has as arms two revolvers and bowie knife. The conductor purebased her a ticket in the Cali- fornia steamer, and she left in the vessel at noon. Her story is this: A short time since her husband obtained possession of all her property, converted all he could into and then deserted his family, took a ip and started for the land of gold, around Oape Horn. But this is not tae worst; he took with him a female, not his wife. Injured and maddened, the wife bas started after her recent lord; not from love, but from hate; not to recover pos- session of her abseonding husband, but to ad- minister a deserved chastisement; not to take him bask, but to shoot him and hiscompanion. Wind, weather and steam permitting, the lady will rerch California some time in advauce of her absoonding mate. He will no doubt be rather surprised to meet ber ladyship on the California landing, and, unless eea-sickness shako the wrath out of her, the m will not be one of the most conjugal thet can be imagined.” Dicknys turxmp Daxpr.—A lotier writer “ach sees a) <ege < egw coe ia, where he has 8 to inter: “Bos isas aaenty ceerpabalige bat reat on frills and pe joali—wears a mons- Pas tcl bes ans rely changed the style of OrTaD, pe hale. 9 beret ny ee pe he, that bi er Ww oe: ym ——— him, poor woman!
