Terrible Domestic Alienation.

There is a family rc-iding neitr this city which presents an extraordinary case of domestic alienation. The iiusiiahd ami wife, though living in the same house, have not spokeii a word to each other for twentv years. The djificulty grew out of an alleged infi ll lily on the part of the liiisbaiid. A separation was not d“sir<-d-Jjy either, but a c.olfimss immediate!) grew up between Them-, and this long silence lias l|een tlie re.su’t, A I'.i', wile daughter Ims b l eu the me- ; dium-of ; conversation between tlhem. The ■ husband readily sujiplies a.lUthb wants of I tin 1 wife, anil the w i fi- pi ivalely provides the requisite comforts for* the husliiatid; they , meet daily; but never, speak! This alien i- - ti-'ii has ii >.v existed so. long, that the ] twenty silence will probably never be : broken. They are in e.xcolient cire.umstanc<‘s.— Cincinnati Times, Oct. 27.
