ADVERTISING FOR' A WIFE.
A 'Somewhat novel marriage affalr vrae
*eloped during the latter part of last month
it the flourishing little village of Cntehogue.
onLong Island. It is stated that -a Man na..
mod Josefidlaker, of that , „plaoo, came to
New York a few weeks proviops. , for
.. the ptiy
pose of obtaining a wife. Ilia fitiik move •Was ,
to publish a:notice in a morning paper, tinting
that a yeling 'widower, about twenty-five years
of age, having one Child and a farm at short
'distance in' the country, vrishod te - enter a Bee-
mid timpinto the matrimonial state with 'some
respectable lady about hirown age. •This no- •
tice'attracte'd the attention of S. young gill, in
the city, aged some 18 or 19 years, by the
name df Ellen Craig, who soon responded to
Joseph's notice. This was followed by an in- 1 .
terview &tween the parties. According -to j
the account which the girl gave at Cutehogne,
Mr. Baker represented himself to be a gentle
man. of *diameter and respectability, in the
coMmunity where ho lived—that ho had a val
uable farm down in -Long dsland, with a good
house, pleasantly situated,:and all the neees.
nary improvements and appurtenances—that
lie kept cows and other stock, togerlhek with a
horse, carririge,'&e. After d negotiation of
a number of Alays;a matrimonial 'engagement
was entered into, which was finally consum , '
mated in due-Mimi, by a 'clergyman of Alie
ty. After the marriage ceremony was solem
nized, the parties, decompauied s by the mother'
of - the bride, immediately left 'the city; '
took the accommodation train to visit the
splendid establishment of Mr. Joseph Baker
at-Cutehogite,-with-high--hopes and pleasing
anticipationi4mo doubt. -Oit 'ilriving at Mr.

with every indication of inclelenerand pover
ty, instead of a neat, comfortable dwelling,
presented itself to the astonished strangers.-
The Roar girl and her mother,
.atter
fair Vie of-- tlce-prtMlises,--tintkiliseovering-tter
imposition, and the manner in which the •
daughter had been duped, overwhelmed with
disappointment, mortification and disgust, at

found a friendly shelter at the house of a Mr.
Ilalleck,. at no great distance, and after mak
ing proper infinities respecting the character,
habits, and circumstances. of the said Joseph
Ilaker,_as.they_were_understood-in-that-cOm---
manity, they declared that tho_marriage had
been brought about by false pretences, - mis
representations, and hypocrisy. A ltiwyer and
a justice weretioon called in, to'untlO the knot
which bade° recently, and so imprudently and

a consent, on his. part, that the marriage con.
tract, to all intents and purposes, might be
dissolved.N The mother and daughter took the
cars a day or two after and returned to the
city. We understand - that Miss' Craig,"notr
Mrs. Baker, is an iMlustrious,-respeotable girl,
a tailorese, and of respectable connections ;
and that the matrimonial alliance between her•••
self and linker was with the advice and con
sent of her mother, who, it seems gave too
much credit to fair protestations, without pro

WHO'LL TURN. GRINASIONE L
When . .T. was a little bey, Meksrs. Winters, I
