D. ITfsh, Vail Agent, Infor­ mation of the finding of tho body of Wn, Stewart, who l*as beea missing for sotno time, and #M*, It vraa gen­ erally supposed, had boon murdered. Below wo give the fHinfculars, ttken from the Elf in £eacto% of Thursday: . **Since tlM sudden dI<*appoaranoe of Wm. Stewart, which wo chronicled a few days ago, uninterrupted search has been kept «p on tho river. Yes­ terday afternoon. John Ferguson and P. 6. Woolaver found the body en* tangled oa some willows on his own premises, whore tbo water had prob­ ably washed it adhore. A considerable sum of money and his watch were found upon his person. The latter had stopped at 10s3Q; this waa two hoars after ho waa last oeoa. "Tlie theory now is that he been the dazed and wandered to the railroad bridge, which was partially washed, away. Stumbling, along, half para­ lysed with liquor, ho plunged head­ long into the raging torrent and .was quickly swept down with the tide. The place of recovery was one mile below the bridge* "The people ha?« boon suspicions of foul play, and some of the bloody gos­ sips have, frOm personal foellnga. we are informed, labored hard to bear the tiding! throughout the neighborhood. There were no marks of violence about the person of the deceased, and there can be but one solution of the affair, and that Is that he came to his death by accidental drowning. The yonng man upon whom suspi­ cion has been thrown is Mine Ben* thusen, son-in-law of Wm. P, Bill of th*s city. He was on« of the men who rowed Mr. Stewart across the river, and the people, some of them, took seeming pleasure in enlarging and spreading the tale. To charge a man with the taking of a human life is a more serious matter than they at first realized, and had the body been swept away and never recovered, the young man's character would have been ru­ ined beyond redemption. Wherever he went oc whatever lie would have done, the stigma woald have Clung to to him. "Now that the body has been recov­ ered, suspicion no longer rests upon the young man, much to his delight.*.

In the good old State Of Maine the number of separations of husband from wife is steadily on the increase.

We live in an ago when discon­ tent is rife, and traveling is easy and cheap, and the temptation to seek fresh fields and pastures new is ever present, lfarrlage Is no longer re­ garded aa a religious sacrament. It is a civil cotitract amenable to the pas­ sion and caprices of the parties to it, and the resnlt is dissevered homes, perpetual estrangement of people who in the olden times would havo lived fairly comfortable lives together. Aud worse than all in tens and thous­ ands of homes are children, deptived, some of a mother's care, othors of a lather's protection. The birth of children carries with It of necessity the Indissolubility' of the marriage tie. The child has right to demand the care of both Its parents until It comes of age. As this involves at least twenty years, other children are born In the interval and so the union nat­ urally becomes one of life. Whenever parents separata they do cruel wrong to their ofi-spriiig, and should be under the bau of society for so doing.
