= About six years ago man was employed at
Young's foundry in this city an iron and
brass moulder. He was of quiet habits, did
not drink, was a faithful workman and de-
voted to his family, which consisted of his
wife and three children. In 1873 he went to
Lewiston and since that time has been in bust
ness in different places, for the last three
months being employed as moulder in the
Lewiston Machine Company's works. His
family remained in this city. Becoming in
fatuated with Lewiston fair maiden with
whom he became intimate he was led into
temptation and leaving his situation the twain
left for New York city. About month of
domestic bliss followed, when the fair maiden
borrowed several silk dresses from her land
ladys wardrobe and returned to Lewiston
Here, however, her stay was short, and she
again left for parts unknown. The quondam
lover, now repentant, is working a farm in
New York state at salary of IS per month,
and desires the forgiveness of his injured fam
lily, The names of the parties are withheld
for obvious reasons.
