AT Burr Oak, Mich, last week, q
young woman, aged about twenty
three years, who had been married
about five years, deliberately walked
off with her husbands youngest
brother. All was done with the full
knowledge of the injured husband.
His wife packed up her bed and cloth
ing in his presence, which We're placed
in a wagon, together with herself and
child, by her paramOur, when they
were driven about a mile to the resi-
dence of the husbands father, the hus-
band and another brother following
on foot. Here the whole matter, con-
templated for over a year, was freely
and deliberately talked over, the wO-
man declaring that she never loved
her husband as well as she did his
youngest brother. The young man
then coolly helped his brothers wife
and child into the wagon, and, getting
in himself, they left for parts un-
known.
Hon. Asa Packer, lately nomi-
mated for Governor OF Pennsylvania,
was born in Groton township, Con-
necticut, in 1906. In 1922 he removed
to Pennsylvania, where, for many
years, he was engaged in farming. In
1850 he commenced the building of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, and by its
success, acquired avery large fortune.
While engaged in his extensive and
absorbing business projects, Mr.. Pack
er has devoted much of his time and
attention to political affairs. For sew
eral years he was a member of the
State Legislature, his service in that
body terminating in 1913. He was
then elected Judge of the County
Court, holding the position five years,
and in 1858 he took his seat in the
Lower House of Congress a member
for the Thirteenth District, holding it
until 1851 During all this period, as
at present, he was an earnest, thor
and consistent Democrat.
When the Democratic National Con-
vention assembled at Tammany Hall,
in New York city, on July 4, 1868,
Judge Fuckers name was presented
to that body by the Pennsylvania
delegation as candidate for the Pres
ldential nomination. With but
slight variation, he received the vote
of his own State, during the first four
teen ballots, after which his name was
dropped for that Of Gen, Hancock.
There was. much excitement in
Lexington, KY, occasioned by the
reception of the news, that one Thos.
II. Irvine, a farmer and for many
years, President of the Richmond
Stage Company, had attempted to
force his daughter, a handsome and
sprightly little girl, some fourteen
years OF age, TO marry a young man
by the name of Broadwell Keith, and
she persisting in refusal, he held a
pistol to her head, and allowing Keith
to lavish careSSes on the unwilling
girl. EYen then she would not con-
sent to marry him, and the father
shut her up in room with Keith,
and told him that "she would be
damned glad to marry him when he
had gotten through with her," She
made her escape from the room, and
