Sensational StOry---AR Innocent Nan in
state PrlSOn---lIiS tHO Wives.

The following singular statement is re-
lative to party now residing near Roches-
ter
The narrative whiclI-I-arn about to relate
is peculiarly intcressrg. Although it r!av
secm fictitious, it is nevertheless true, as [
can vouch, being acquainte.; with the parties
concerned aud the facts Of the case.
About the spring ofthe year 1850, Mr..
Garrett, living near Auburn, n. Y, WIS
arrested for forgery. lie was tried, found
guilty, and sentenced TO three years im-
rrisonment in the State Prison at Auburn
lie denied his gtsilt to the end, aud being
man of very sensitive feelings, and having u
wife and family, it bore quite heavily upon
him. lie served his time and was released,
= mere wreck OF his former self. dcSpiScd by
his once loving wife, who refused to live with
him and shunncd him as 4 guilty cu!pri'
Sad and brOkenhcarted, he disposed OF his
property and went to Central Penusy lvania,
where he married beautiful and excellent
young lady.
They lived happily and prospcrcd. Several
years after his departure, the first wife be-
lame fully convinced that he was innocent
Snd had been wronged. This conviction
proved true by the dcath-bed confession of
man who acknowledged the commission OF
the crime Of which Mr.. Garnctt had been
convicted. The sorrowing woman repeuted
her former act, aud with friend went in
' pursuit of her discarded husband, whom she
seemed to expect to find some where in
Pennsylvania.
After search ofseveral weeks they arrived
in the ncighborhood of the object Of their
search. Just at dark they drove up to the
door of a snug and pleasant cottage, when
Mrs. Garuett entered the house and there
behcld her once beloved husband apparently
happy in the society OIL second wife She
rushed up to him. and throwing her arms
about his neck. wept bitterly. Soon the
scene became affecting, the two yes clinging
to him, each claiming him as her husband.
After calming their feelings and candidly
considering the case, the second wife decided
to give up the husband, believing that the
first had the lawful claim. After few days
Mr.. Garnett and his first wife removed 10
the vicinity of Rochester, New York, where
they now reside. The second wife makes
them an .annual-visit, and Mr.. Garnett keeps
her supplied with all tire nccessaries of life.

reminds us of the necessity of plenty OF

is laboring under such delusion, supinely
settling down to the necessities of the

attention to the startling advertisement

the merest song, are giving away clothing

GENEVA TIMEs.-T The first number of
neatly printed sheet, under this cogno-
men, published by H. II. THoRr, and ed
tied by WARREN p. SPENCER, ESQ.,, came
to hand last week. Although the salute
tary says nothirg about politics, other
portions of the paper, and the moral and
political healthfulness of the atmosphere
with which it's lungs are to be inflated,
leaYe no doubt of its soundness. We
wish it all success and commend it to the
prompt and liberal patronage of those
whose interest are more especially identi-
fed with such success.
The following remarks of the Chicago
Iribane will not be out of place in this
connection.
What tells so readily the standard of
a town or city as the appearance of its
paper; and its youth or age can as we'll be
defined by the observing, by a glance at
its newspaper, as though personal obser-
vation had been made. The enterprise of
its citizens are depicted by its advertise
ments-their hberality by the looks of
the paper. Some papers show good,
solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses
and well-to-do appearance generally;
others show q striving to contend with
the grasping thousands around them, try
ing to wrench ont an existence from the
close listed community around them.
An occasional meteoric display Ia its col
umns of telegraph, or local, or ofeditorial,
shows what it would do it had the
means, but cannot continue in the expen-
sive work until the support comes which
ought to be readily granted. A news
paper is like Church; it wants fostering
at the commencement and for few years,
then as general thing it can walk alone,
and reflect credit upon its location.
Take your home paper it gives you more
news ofimmediate interest than the New
York or other distant city papers; it talks
for you when no others will speak in
your favor; when other localities belle you
it stands up for your rights; you always
have champion in your home paper, and
those who stand up for you should Ger.
tainly be well sustained. Your interests
are kindred and equal, you rise or fall to.
gether Therefore. it Is your interest to
support your home paper, not grudgingly
but in liberal spirit, as pleasure, moi
as a disagreeable duty, as an Investment
that will amply repay the expenditure.

The death Of JOHN Fox in Kjngsville noticed
In the county paperslas week, emisrated to Sa-
lem-Conneaut-in 1910, according TO the Sen
tiaet, from New Hampshire, making an oveo-
land passage in forty days. AT that time there
were but five or six families in Conneaut and
one in Monroe. Trading was done at Erie,
and grinding was done by one Holiday between
Erie and Conneaut. Soon after coming to Ohio
his family lived in log house one winter that
had no door, floors, windows or fireplace
There was q large hole in one end, opposite
which large fire was built, which served to
warm the house. One day Mrs. Fox was sitting
in the house with a child on her lap, when a
large black bear passed between her and the
fire. Bears were very plenty that year and
stole their flock of seven sheep, except one
black one.
