vitrioI, which he threw upon the dress and per-
son of his daughter, destroying the former and
burning the face and hands in places At this
the pair withdrew and visited another clergy
man at his residence, who, under the protest
of the father, declined to marry them. Not to

few days since well dressed young man enter
ed brokers' Office in this city, and said he de-
sired to buy some bonds. He gave the kind
and amount, and said he would call again the
next day. He did so, and then requested the
broker to send him Sc, 900 worth to his place
of business, naming store in good business
locality The broker was suspicious, and in
structed the messenger, his clerk, not to let the
bonds go out of his sight until he had received
the money therefor. At the store the young
gentleman appeared, took the bonds, and,
opening desk, placed them In pigeon hole,
and then locked them up. He called the
clerk $ attention to the operation, and told him
to sit down and wait while he stepped out and
cashed check. The clerk waited until it was
apparent that the young trader had disappear
ed, and he then investigated the matter, and
found that there was back entrance to the
desk, through which the bonds had been taken
carried of. The name of the business man is
not known, his whereabouts are also involved
in mystery, and Boston broker is Sc, 900 out.
