A STRANGE AFFAIR.-A singular affair is reported from Connah’s
Quay. It seems that the wife of the mate of a trading vessel accompanied her
husband on his last voyage to a Scotch port. On the return voyage the vessel
put in at Millom, and the wife expressed a desire to return home by train. Her husband
accordingly accompanied her to Millom railway station, and saw her off. On
reaching Conhah Quay, instead of finding his wife, a letter from her awaited him,
informing him that she had decided to leave him for over, as she could not live
any longer with a man that had no whiskers. Nothing has since been heard of the
runaway wife, and the husband has sold off his furniture and gone into lodgings.
