A Strange History.

Fiction has her marvellous heroes, but
now and then some plain creature Of every
day fact surpasses them in romantic adven-
ture.
In 1865, young man was arrested al
Cleveland, on charge Of passing counter
felt money, and on evidence which many
thought insufficient, was convicted and
sentenced to the Pententiary.
He was brought to Columbus, Ohio,
and incarserated; but it was not long be-
fore he effected his escape, and successfully
e!uded pursuit. lie fled without daring to
show himself to any one, until about thirty
miles from the city, when, spent and fam.
er remote from Others, for shelter and food
Both were promptly offered HIM. The poor
woman who dwelt there alone with her
two children was true to the gracious in
s,incts Of her nature, and admitted to
hearth and board--not the escaped convicts
but the weary, hunted. hungry wretch,
who claimed from her that boon
(Which all the happy to the unhappy owe"
He rested and ref eshed himself: and
when he again set forth upon his wander
ings, she gavehm a suit of citizens clothes.
Thus disguised, he travelled northward,
until within twenty miles of Cleveland,
when he obtained work, and earned forty
dollars, which he sent to the woman who
had saved him. He then went to n. Y,
engaged in business, and prospered Still
he remembered his benefactress, and recent
ly she received from him three hundred
dollars.
The truth meanwhile, came to light. 1t
became apparent that he was guiltless of
the crime with which he had been charged;
and had suffered for sin he had never
committed.
A petition, signed by the Judge who had
passed sentence upon him, the jury which
had found him guilty, and sixty-six mem
bers of the Cuyahoga bar. and authentica-
ted by the members of the Legislature from
that county, was sent to the Governor,
praying for the pardon of the escaped con-
Wet.
Here difficulty arose He could not be
pardoneI as long as he was not in the Gus
todv of the State. He was communicated
with; ard came to Columbus, within few
days past, and gave himself up to the War
den Of the Penitentiary. lie was once
more placed in the prison, and the key
turned upon him.
There his pardon was hand to him. and
he came forth not more guiltless than be-
fore-but certain in his liberty and the es-
teen Of his fellow-me

his absent wife, although he long cher
ished the hope that she would escaI Q
from her tyrannical parent" and re-.
turn 70 whom she loved. Time, how
ever, gradually rusted Mr.. Fry's love
for his gipsey wife. lie felt that it
was not good to be alcne' SO long,
and at the end Of two years he again
united his destinies with another Of
Fye's fair daughters. Suffice it to say,
with the latter he experienced no v,si-
Bile difficulty. Things moved smiling
" along-Mr Fry lived happily with
bis wife and the rest of mankind. But,
alas how short-lived are some connu-
bal combinations. Last week Mr..
Frys first ~ite-his Gipsey wife-in
company with "George Fry, junior"
arrived in this place in search for him.
By the assistance Of officer Thade she
was successful in finding him.
Limited space torbids us from enter
ing into details, at this time, of the
excruciating suffering Mrs. Fry has un-
dergone since her departure from this
place. The intelligence Of her hus-
bands second marriage was severe
shock to her, but she emphatically de-
clares her exclusive right to him. 1t
appears, by the way, that Mr.. Fry's
second wife was a widow" that her
husband went to- California some years
ago, and soon after his arrival there il
was rumored that he was murdered
A few weeks since letter was receiv-
ed from him by her, we have been in.
formed, in which he states that he will
return in the next steamer, ETC.
What the finale Of this romance vii
be is beyond the power of human ken
Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1858-03-16

The Gazette is greatly mistaken if it
supposes that the movement in favor Of an
Independent ticket for city officers, to which
it alluded, originated in the Democratic par
ty. The Democracy have seen enough of no
party nominations to satisfy them for some
years to come, and it may as we'll be under
stood that no Independent ticket will meet
with the favor of the Democratic party in
this city.-Democrat.
Now stick TO that, and we put you on rec
ord to keep you to it. the GAZETTE could
not have been very much mistaken in say
ing this Independent ticket movement origi-
mated in the Democratic party, as a leading
Democrat, and who was for a long time
known as the editor of the Democrat, was
the identical individual who wrote off and
started out with this independent ticket, to
secure for it Republican support.-Gaaette
We are authorized by the person al
luded to in the above article of the Ga
zette to most positively deny that the
person "who was for a long time
known as the editor of the Democrat,
was the identical individual who wrote
Oft and started out with the indepcn-
dent ticket" He never saw such a
ticket written out, and until published
in the Democrat, did not know who
composed the ticket.
Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1858-03-16

~ Some months ago, a man ofthc
name of Felt, who edits a newspaper
somewhere in the Cedar Valley, took
occasion to call us some very dirty
names because we stated what every
lawyer knows to be the fact; that there
has been no law in this State prohibit
ing marriages between brother and sis
ter, father and daughter, mother and
son. We did not notice his datribc
at the time, because it betrayed SO
much ignorance and impudence that
we despaired of enlightcning the one
or sufficiently rebuking the othcr.-
The State Legislature, having had its
attention called to the anomalous and
unchristian condition of the law, has
undertaken to supply its defects. Be
fore this man Felt again attempts to
spread himself on the common law"
and other matters above his comprc-
hension, we commend to his perusal
the journal of the Legislature.
