Lost His Money and Sweetheart.

To his infatuation for a fickle New -Jersey maiden John Bennett, who was for many years a prosperous wheelwright in this city, owes the less of most of his property. Soon after marrying, about three years ago, he fell in love with Misp Cornelia Hulfish of Trenton, and, it is alleged, by paying his wife $1,500 induced her to leave him. Then he made Miss Hulfish many costly presents. Meanwhile David Jobs, a cousin of Bennett, also became enamored of Miss Hulfish, and they arranged a plan by which Jobs was to obtain Bennett’s intendfed bride. About a month ago Bennett, finding himself harassed by his creditors, deeded all his property, amounting to about $15,000, over to Miss Hulfish. She and Jobs then went to Camden and were married, and went to housekeeping in one of Bennett’s cottages at Jamesburg, N. J. Mrs. Jobs refuses to return any money to

Bennett, and threatens to expose him to his creditors if he shall take legal steps.— Philadelphia Record.
