A FEMALE IN DIsTREss-A WANDERER
FROM HoNE.-Last evening Special Officer
koyle found a young woman in the Contra
Depot, shedding tears, and apparently
much afflicted at heart. Upon inquiry he
ascertained that she had been enticed away
from home and then deserted by man.
lie took her to the Citation House, and
after diligent search by the Police her sup
posed deserter was found. The tale she told
at the Station House was so heart-repding
that all who heard i. pronounced the Ian C.
monster in human form. Mayor Thacher
became so enlisted in her behalf that he took
her to bis residence, where she received the
utmost attention. This morning the affair
assumed criminal form, when the parties
were brought before Justice Cole. The fe
male, who is about y years of age. gave her
name as Hatty Bartlett, and had resided for
a time in East Fairfield, Vt. The man who
brought her to this city gave his name
George Segels Montreuil. Heis by profession
a travelling Snowman and glass-blower lie
made before the Magistrate a voluntary
statement OF the affair, and the story he told
appears credible.
lie said that he became acquainted with
IIatty at a place near St. Adams, Vt, where
be was exhibiting, and that it was her own
request that she became bis travelling COM
pauion. lie dressed her up in the latest
style and left the place on the 9th of January,
and after travelling over a month in her com
plny, he, upon his arrival in this city last
evening, advised her to 20 home This she
declined doing, alleging that he had prom
iscd to marry her. 1t appears that he took
her with the expectation of attracting crowd
at his exhibition, by advertising her as a
dancing girl but she not coming UP to
his expectation, he was DESTROYS of relieving
himself OF her
\ separation was agreed upon before the
Magistrate by his giving her funds sufficient
to convey her to the residence Of her uncle,
in Meacham, Franklin county. All. Ere.

Thousands of persons suffer all sorts Of annoyance
from Catarrh. Most people know what its incon-
venience and results are, yet but few know how
it can be cured. 1t is simply a chronic irritation,
and often enlargement of follicles, and consequent
thickening Of the mucous membrane, lining the
nasal cavities, frontal snuses, and sometimes ex-
tending into the throat and lungs. From this re-
suit tightness and often vertigo of the head, OBJ
structed nose, or profuse flow Of rnucus, loss Of
smell nasal voice, and often impaired hearing and
taste.
The oId-school remedies have never been able
to do any thing for it. Nasal injections and in
halations are as painful and expensive as they gen
orally arc worthless. Yet Humphrey CATAEEH
