HALLOWELL.


MONDAY, June 23.
This morning about o'clock night watch
man Henderson, when walking down what is
commonly called Factory Lane, saw a woman
pass rapidly up Water street. Thinking it
strange to see a woman out at such late or
rather such an early hour, he followed her. In
a moment she broke into a run. This confirm
ed him in his idea that all was not right and
THROWN off somewhat heavy coat which he
had on, he started at full speed after her She
ran straight ahead till she reached the passage
way or lane leading to the wharf in the rear of
Masters & Livermore's printing works, which
she entered and was for moment hidden from
his sight. Just as he reached the passage-way
he saw her throw herself from the wharf.
There are two wharves very near together,
there being but narrow slip between. She
took the north and he the south one. jump
ing on fishing smack, which lay near he awoke
the owner, then sprang into boat, while the
other man held the rope, and taking firm
hold Of the unfortunate girls arms, lifted her
head from the water. He did not dare to try
to lift her into the boat for fear of tipping
over. The fisherman dragged the boat, man
and girl to the side of the smack, and the two
men tenderly raised the latter to the deck. She
wasperfectly conscious, but had swallowed a
considerable amount of water, and had they
been a few moments later, all would have been
over. Great credit is due the Waterman for
his promptness in the matter. The woman re-
fused to give any reason for her reckless deed,
except that she wished she was dead, and she
asked the watchman to knock her in the head.
She lives about a mile from the scene and in
answer to the query why she did not take the
would-be fatal leap nearer home, said that the
wharves were too high. In half an hour she
was again in her home. The young lady has
always borne one of the best of characters, and
has a good and as far as can be learned hap
py home No reason can be assigned for the
deed, unless it be that the unhappy girl is in
sane
