A little "onpleasantness" recently oc-
Cured in this town. to very respectable
families, in this wise: Something like fif-
teen years ago Mr.. Carbcno married Miss
Bridget Laiile, much against the wishes of
her parents and friends. After living with
her few weeks he left, as he said to find
place to work and live, and she was to
| follow when he accomplished his object
His wife heard nothing of him for years,
and supposed him dead. Some four or
five years after she had good offer of mar
rage, and, acting in good faith, she ac-
copied and married Mr.. Edward Wortlen, a
very respectable young man of this town.
| Everything went merry as Il marriage
bell, until this sun mcr, when the former
husband appeared and laid claim to his
wife Mrs Worden, prefeIring her Sec
ond husband, filed libel for a divorce,
which husband No. opposes, on the plea
that he did not run way from her, only
went away. His story Is that he went to
| New Hampshire and then to New York
state, and after be heard that his wife had
married again he went to California some
| ten or eleven years ago; and that during
the time frequently wrote to her, but could
get no reply. He does not claim that he
wan;s to live with her. but would probably
like to make raise of little money on
the job. We hope, for the credit, Of all
concerned, and for the good reputation of
the town, the friends will amicably adjust
the matter and not suffer the affair to be
ventilated in open court. The parties, so
far us we know and believe, acted honora-
bly, and in good faith, not supposing that
they were doing a wrong or criminal ac-
ton.
j. A. Conant has built neat, fancy cot
tage on the new street back of the graded
school, and has commenced the erection of
the second. This location is near the GEN.
trail and business portion Of the village,
and when the street is properly graded
there will be some desirable places for
homes away from the hustle and dust of
the business streets.
The beautiful weather Of the past two
weeks is fast rpening the corn crop, and a
few more days without frost will secure a
pretty good yield of corn. Some complain
of the rot among potatoes, but it is not gen.
eral as yet. Some farmers are gathering
their potatoes. Fruits of all kinds are
scarce grapes especially are very late,
and many kinds are very mouldy and worth
less.
