Chester Chit Chat.
FROM THE NEWS.

The o. her night South Chester was the
scene of a mysterious and disgraceful prn
ceed'ny. A young girl, employed by f.
W. man there, retired for the night with the
woman of the house, and in few minutes
the woman left the room an an Italian ell
tered and locked the door. The girl after
wards went to married son of the womab
who employed her and told him of his
mo hers queer ways. He then proceeded
to whip her for defaming the character O.!
his mother. The whole matter is enshroud-
ed in mystery so far.
The youth of Chester are becoming quite
famed for bravery. A few days ago, two
girls promenaded the principal streets with
lighted cigars in their months, on wager,
and some time later six young fellows
walked to the Cente, nial grounds and back
also on wager; and last evening q young
man was challenged to carry ladies' muh
down Market street. He put his hands in
the muf and ran the gauntlet.
