ELOPEMENT-A GUILT Y FLIGHT.

:;f About- two- years ago,/ a man named James G-lenrde, a resident of Crinestoga, nine miles from Berlin, Canada "West,; in the country of Waterloo, was besought -by his Avife, rather a handsome womam, ito take a trip across the ,",deep blue sea" and--visit their friends in -the Emerald Isley 1 Business prevented his sharing in the trip..; . but with a confidence - and generositynatural to a good husband he purchased a through ticket for his wife from Berlin ito Belfast, by Avay of New.Tork, accompanied her to the railway station-, §aw her startejdr and if, as Grlennie : himself .says, their fond embraces before parting/ ;we re to be taken : as an index of a woman who truly loved her spouse, nobody cduld'have been more loved than he. The last- wreath of smok©/ from the locomotive.that carried away the train vanished: in the morning air, and Q-lennie returned home to his family without the shadow of a thought , that there was any'by-piayjng going onwliich wouid dishonor his name. By the^ very traija, however, that conveyed his _. wife froW Berliii/'st'atiion, "left - also' a man nam^d 35511iain...,8055, ... outw^dly^ ~a~. friend- pf (^Jennie'Sj-butinreaH^ ofh-is wifa 'Thelp^ramjaur and his victim. .sped on their way, arrived in New Xprk, put up/ afc &fe* A'stdr H'3use, ahd a few days afteVwards sailed-irt oiieof the-Cunard vessels for Queensto^^lMng.^all' the time as' man and wiie^ aiid^perfectly unconscious of the faet-that-the-keeni'eye's of a resident,of Bprlin >vere upon vthem who laiew th;ein* ; well' by reputation, and who by chance was also a passenger on board, the same homeward bound steamship. ' The attention of this person, Stevens by name, was attracted by the criminal- intimacy of the twain, and before the'voyage waslpn the wane had sufficient ocular /demqiistratipn to sho\y liim ; that all vsfasiiipt "ok the square. ' ' The steamship nnally.farrived at Queenstown, the unfaithful; .wifejyisited her relations, lloss transacted some business, and while he and his paramour returned to ■ Canada by the Montreal steamship line Stevens left for, Australia. ; Daring all this period Mrs. Grlennie kept up a correspondence with ]ierih,usband and lioss, and the latter returned to Berlin as if nothing had occurred. Stevens, however, corresponded with G-lenhie, and when the facts leaked out among his friends at Berlin, Boss was on a cold night stripped naked, tarred and feathered, and ridden on a rail for a distance of three miles — much to his disgust. TJpon being freed Ross took flight, and niade Toronto and Montreal his place of retreat. Tlie wife of Glennie shortly followed him, and took up her residence in Yonge-street, in this city, where she was stealthily visited by Boss. The injured husband, driven to desperation by the aad conduct of his wife, determined to put the law into force and bring to justice the villain who had destroyed his domestic peace. In order to have all the requisite evidence to further his suit, he has actually paid the expense of a passage for Stevens from Australia, with a monthly allowance while here, and the expense of his passage back. Month after mouth passed without, however, any trace of Boss. Toronto and Montreal were searched by two American detectives, and the injured husband despaired of any reparation, and was about giving the case up, when, while visiting Toronto,- he reported it to Detective Crowo. Crowe heard the case, noted a few facts, and set about the difficult task of finding the whereabouts of his man. Last evening about eight o'clock he was traced to a house ho had taken on St. Alban's-street, near Yorkville, and there arrested. He was removed to No. 1 Police-station, where he remained until taken to the Union Station at 12.45 this morning, and placed in the Grand Trunk cars for conveyanco to Berlin. The guilty woman is the mother of nine children, and her miserable paramour the father .of six. Mr. Glennie is a respectable, wealthy man, and is determined to bring the case to our highest courts, in order to free himself from his dishonored wife, and punish, if possible, the partner of her guilt. — Toronto Leader.
