Wife of Strother Pheneas hopes to reconnect

ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN CASE.—Seventeen years ago a colored woman, the wife of Strother Pheneas, a colored porter, now in the employ of Mr. William F. Henderson of this city, and by whom he had two children, was sold to a man in Tennessee, and carried to that State. The husband remained constant for two years, when he married again, and has been living with his second wife ever since. This morning his first wife returned, and throwing her arms around his neck, with tears and supplications besought, though in vain, a reciprocation of the love she had so long and sadly, and yet so fondly cherished.—Alexandria Gazette.
