tic rabble:

arrangements, advertised for widow, or
a widow and her daughter, to take
charge Of the upper part OF trades
mans house, and to cook for him" The
wages were stated to he G30 per annum,
with Goals, candles, &C., and application
was directed to be made between eleven
and three o'clock on Tuesday, at No. 6S
Tower street. Before the clock struck
eleven the widows began to arrive, and
soon the street was rendered impossible
by the number Of fair ones crowding to-
wards the house, and in few minutes
Mr.. Strouds shop and parlor were filled
with women, struggling to gain the at
tention of the advertiser, and clamorous-
ly setting forth their qualifications for
the situation.
".A report soon got wind that MIR.
Stroud had advertised for wife, and
people had hockcd from all quarters to
see the ladies i'll search of husband.
The widows, young, middle-aged, the

some in their weeds, other gaily attircd,
and many o orly but deccutly clad, con.
tiuued to arrive, aud were greeted with
laughter and shouts by the mob, who
gave free vent to their jokes and ribaldry
rs the widows arrived and departed. At
length the confusion and noise became
so great, that a posse of the police were
sent for, who preserved a little better
order, and afforded free ingress and
cgress for the applicants"
