How ONE WOMAN MARRIED ANOTHER.
Thirty years ago there was born to Mr.. and
NJ Mrs. John Nostrand, then living at Espearance
Schoharie, fan faced child. Acting on the
suggestion of the old family physician, the child
was dressed in girls clothes, although whether
TINS was appropriate or not WIS matter or
some doubt to the peIplexed parents. The lit
tic one was named Ada. When Ada was
ABOUT TWO years old, her parents moved to this
country, settling then or soon afterward, close
by the old Pine tavern on the Oswego stage
road, and about one mile from Bloasvale. As
the years passed Ada grew strong and rather
tall; she wore her hair long, but as she reached
maturity an unmistakable beard began to show
rseli on her face, and her voice became quite
masculine. She manifested a decided anu un-
usual love for other glrls, while she seemed to
care but little for the company or admiration Of
tne Sterner sex. Five years ago she went to
Clevel3ud, Ohio aud secured position as do
meshc at boarding horse, and before she left
there her mi iuhne appearance was so noticea-
Die that she was air' ated, charged with being q
man dressed III woinanis clothes; nor was she
able to prove this untrue, but fortunately
the pi oprietor Ui the boarding house was
also physician aud had prescribed for her
shortly before that. Hearing Of tho case, he
secured her release. Ada also worked for
Simon Isabel, of Westmoreiand, doing
much out door work. Indeed her father
who does not look at all ailing, physically,
says she can chop as much as he can and
the boys who are talking so much" About
two years ago Ada bought OF one OF the
Messrs. Scares. the old VIM. sykes farm
