A ROMANTIC HISTORY.
stolen by n sailor, Married at Fifteen,
Finally Restored to Her Parents.

At Westville, in the county of Hemp
stead, says the New York Times, live
a venerable and worthy couple named
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Mott. The early
history of the wife is particularly in
teresting and romantic. In 1907, when
she was three years old, she was found
on the marsh at Barren Island, with a
piece of fat pork in one hand and a sea-
biscuit in the other, by an old gentle
man who happened to be fishing there.
She was taken to the house of Nicholas
Dooley. that was the only one on the
island at the time, and Mrs. Dooley de-
cided to adopt her and bring her up.
She was named Julia Ann. She re-
members when Gibbs, the pirate, was
at Barren Island and was supposed TO
have buried his ill-gotten gains, there.
He stopped at Mr. Dooley's house the
night before he and Wansley were cap
tured at Plum Point Gibbs alter
wards confessed that it was his inten-
ton to murder the family had not MIR.
Dooley remained awake all night with
loaded gun within reach.
In 1919, when she was only fifteen
years old, Mrs. Dooley's adopted daugh-
ter married Henry Mott, of Rockaway.
Shortly after the marriage, Mrs.
Rachel Coles called at the house, and
on seeing Mrs. Mott at once exclaimed
that she knew a woman who must be
her mother, the Resemblance was so
strong. Mrs. Coles informed her friend
that she believed she had seen her long
lost daughter. The mother fastened
to Westville, where the couple then
resided, and Immediately recognized
her daughter the identity being estab-
lished by mark resembling a half
moon on one knee and a hole in one
ear. Tie meeting was very affection
ate one, and there was quite a sensa-
ton in Westville then called North
west Poiht), for a few days Mrs Mott
found that she was the daughter of
John and Henrietta Harvey, of New
York City, well-known family, the
Boston banker being her uncle. Her
name was Henrietta, after her mother,
but she had always been known rs Jn-
LA Ann. Her father lived in Court
landt street, which was then the edge
of a marsh. 1t seems that aSwedish
sailor, who boSrded near by, had some
difficulty with Mrs. Harney, and swore
to have revenge. He stole the child
while the mother was at church, and
was never seen again in the neighbor-
hood. Search was made in every direc-
ton, but without success. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dooley died some years ago, bnt
their old house still stands ON Barren
Island Mr.. and Mrs. Mott have had
eighteen children, all daughters, and
they are all, like their mother, of pre-
possessing personal appearance. The
old couple have also great many
grandchildren and great grandchildren
living.

He Still Lives.

Some years ago DR.. R. V. Pierce, of the Worlds
Dispensary and Invalids Hotel, of Buffalo, NY,
and London, was sent for to examine terrible
disease of the lznee-joint, resulting in liberation
and extensive sloughing of the bone and tissues.
The mans life had been dcspaired of by the pre-
vious attendants. AmpUtation at the thigh was
promptly decided upon and skillfully performed
by Dr. Pierce, and after treatment to purify the
blood and prevent recurrence of the malady the
doctors Golden Medical Discovery was freely pre-
scribcd. The mans system was thoroughly puri-
fed and strengthened, he rapidly gained his
health, the stump healing nicely, and he is to-day
happy man. This case was among the first in
which this wonderful blood-purifer was tested.
1t has since manifested its wonderful power over
the worst scrofulous and other blood diseases.
Taken for time it SO purifies and strengthens
the system to strongly torify it against the
croachments of diseases. Sold by druggists.

WE mentioned the shooting of three
young men at charivarl party at Coop
erstown, last week, in our last issue. At
that time we were unable to give the
names of the parties. The persons in
jured are John Mohr, Mat. Draes and
Wenzel Hejda. The latter is quite seri
ously injured and is lying here in town
in a critical condition. The name of the
man who did the shooting is Joseph He
tig. There were eight persons in the
party. They insist that they were 200
PAGES from the house in which the we'd
ding was held. When Hetig first came
out he told them they must not stand
still. He came out a second time and
ordered them off After some remarks
on both sides he told them if they would
not go, he would help them, and then
fred among them.
Hetig tells somewhat different story.
He says the boys built fire close to his
barn and that it was in danger of catch
ing fire. They admit having built fire
but say it was at distance from the barn
and to the lee-ward side.
Hetig was arrested On warrant issued
by Justice Engelbrecht, and returnable
before Justice Byron. In default of
$500 bail he went to jail, but was dis
missed on account of some informally in
the warrant. He was again arrested aud
admitted TO bail in the sum of $1,000.
| The examination comes off May 9Th.
