A FAMILY TROUBLE.A Husband Flees to Kansas with twoChildren.The amount of domestic infelicitythat permeates the wide community is astonishing and alarming* Sometimes it seems to us that the wor!d is astray in the sacred relationship of connubiaiity. We once heard Dick Thompson vociferously ask the old Whig party in a time of its deflection: “When are you going ?9 We think this question cao be thrown at the people more generally now, and especially to many who have sworn allegiance to eac^other in the bonds of wedlock. When these internal do* mestic troubles arise, it is often difficult to locate where the blame of the difficulty rests. A newspaper man is left upon uncertainty, and has to pro* ceed cautiously in statements.This may be regarded as a long prelude to a chapter, but nevertheless a chapter will follow, and the head msy be bigger than the tail.It seems that Mr. dames Nichols and wife, in the Sixth Ward, have had some trouble within their home for some time past. Yesterday noon when Mr. Nichols went home, he re quested his wife to dress the two little boys, their own children, up neatly, as he wisned to take them up town to buy them some clothing. His wife did as requested, and the husband and children went up town. Mrs. Nichols bad no trouble on her mind until 6 o’clock came, and still no husband or children had returned. She instituted inquiry, and found that Mr, Nichols had bought tickets for himself and two sons for Wamego, Kansas, and all three bad gone off on the afternoon train, accompanied by Mr. Nichols’ brother John. The whole matter is beyond solution to the Herald, although we have inquired into it diligently.
