communicated to the New York Mcr-

house, small town in Cleveland, York

wears since, Miss Sallic Booth had been

Young men of her rank of life. She was
the daughter of a poor farmer and had
received very primitive education,

mirers affected to scc no end ofbcauty in
these molcs, but spitcful girls spoke OF
Sallic Booths mustache, and the irri-
tatcd beauty tried all sorts Of quuckS
depilatorics to eradicate what she
thought were facial blcmishcS. Mean

cratic lover. He was the son of Capt.
Wharton of shelton Castle, and had
