Glow'd in her cheek, and yet she felt no

was married to one Matthew C. Bowles, hoping
and fondly expecting happiness from their
matrimonial connection. But to her unutter.
able chagrn, the said Bowles, since their in
termarriage as aforesaid, has been wasting ard
squandering the property that he acquired
by his intermarriage with your petitioner; and
he has taken from her; her bed, and left her
destitute of property, and in necessitous Cir
cumstances, and threatens to take from her
what every little property she has, or may
have, and atirms that he married your peti-
toner for her property alone. Your petition
er further observes, that ct the time of her
intermarriage as aforesaid, she was in regard
to property capable of living comfortably, and
that he was then worth nothing. She says he
has now left her, and she knows not where
he IS. She also states, that at the aforesd time
of her intermarriage with the said Bowles, he,
said Bowles, had then another wife living in
Kentucky. Your petitioner therefore hunbly
prays this honorable court to decree her a
divorce from the bands of matrmony, entered
INFO as aforesaid, with the said Bowles; and

cree may seem meet in the premises, And

sirous Of travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions
On leaving Milton for the river, keep the

Charles to the state of Illinois, take the right
hand road when you get within about mil.
