ran away, and have since been roami z
about in Pennsy ivania, living in huts and
caves and jails and county houses. A

closed that lady who had been particu-
larly charitable to the couple was years
ago engaged to be married to Lucy Ann,
the latter having spent some months near
Bethany dressed as a man. Her Sex was
discovered accidentally, aud she had to
fly the place in the night to escape being
tarred and feathered. This was short
time before she entered the poor house at
Delhi. There is on record now in the
courts of Wayne county document that
was drawn by Mrs. Wilson, the compan-
ion of Lucy Ann, it being petition for
Lobdell," from Jail, on account of ''his"
failing health. The pen used by the wri-
ter was q stick whitfield to point and
split; the ink was pokeberry juice. The
writing is faultless, and tue language
used model Of clear, correct, and .argu-
mentative English-a really superior piece
Of composition, showing that the writer,
now voluntary outcast ana the associate
of an insane, foul, and unsexed woman,
is highly educated, and capable of adorn-
ing the best circles.

being whose history has been briefly Civ
en-, has hot escaped her share of misfor-
tune. Growing to attractive womaahood
in the family Of the kind farmer who res
cued her from the life of a pauper, she
incurred the hatred of a young man named
Kent, who sought her hand in marriage
and was refused for another. In August,
1871, he planned and accomplished her
abduction, one dark, stormy night. She
was dragged, grossly maltreated, and
thrown into the Delaware river, near
Cochecton. She was washed ashore on
an island, where she was found in semi
conscious state by river man next day.
Taken to bis house, she was restored to
life, but not to reason, and, unknown, she
wandered into the woods, where she was
found, a raving maniac, and nearly dead
from exposure aud hunger, three days az
terward, and restored to her friends. She
in time recovered her mental and bodily
health only to learn that the young man
she was to marry was her half brother,
being the illegitipate son of her father,
Henry Slater, according to the testimony
of people who professed to know. Kent,
the fiendish abducter, although arrested
and lodged in Jail, managed to escape the
justice he deserved.
