Gilman, of that place, and that she received a letter from him a few days ago. This letter, the gentleman says, was mailed from the stockyards station in Chicago, by a go-be-tween. He does not think Fred is in Chicago, but we inferred from his talk that he thought he was in Canada, and that the letters that pass between Gilman and his wife are sent through a mutual friend in Chicago. No particular efforts are being put forth to find Gilman, so far as known.
