AN ENOCH ARDEN AT OLDHAM.
About eight years ago, - during the cotton famine, a man named George Byrom left Oldham to seek a livelihood in America, leaving a wife and child behind. Upon his. arrival in America he opened a correspondence with his wife, which, however, he shortly after broke off, and nothing being heard of him for some time, it was thought he was dead. The other day, however, he returned, laden with presents for his wife and child, who he anticipated would be ready to receive him with open arms. To his chagrin, he found she had re-married, and was the mother of three children by her second husband. At first she refused to recognise her former husband. The three subsequently metj-talked thematter over in a "business-like manner," and agreed that the woman should stay with her second. husband, and the first husband should have his child.
