            CAME BACK AT HIM. – C.H. Mace, of Weyauwega, advertised his wife Lucy for leaving his bed and board without just cause or provocation, and forbade all persons trusting her on his account.  This raised the ire of his wife, and she came back at him in the next number of the Weyauwegian, as follows:

            MR. EDITOR – Sir – I perceive by your paper that my husband, C.H. Mace, has advertised me as leaving his bed and board. – Now, sir, the fact is, the miserable scamp was not the owner of a bed, and as for board, he did not furnish enough while I lived with him to keep a chicken alive.  I was obliged to leave him or starve. I hope you will give this a place in your paper, and that other editors will pass it round that people may know what a pitiful wretch he is.
