city Of Nancy. There he became ac-
quainted with a Young Irishwoman,
blooming and beautiful as matter of
course, whose name was Catherine Burthe;
she was the daughter of n game keeper o t
the Prince of Condo. and the ardent
young Anderson conceived such a violent
passion for her that he vowed that he
would never think of marrying any one
else. These facts, it should be under
