FRENCH LEAvE.-Last week Mrs. Mary, wife OF
DR.. Hiram shaft r, Of Wooster, left him without
any warning. It appears that In the absence OF
her husband Mrs. Shaffer packed up nearly all
heI household goods and loaded them in sleigh
She took everything in the house except cook
stove and table, not even leaving the family dog
A six year old boy, the only child, was also re-
moved. Mrs shaffer's family reside in Guernsey
county, and many conjecture she has gone there
IN quest Of rest from household cares.
1t is alleged that jealousy is the cause of hei
sudden departure, and that she and the Doctor
have frequently had little differences of opinion
In the past likewise that she had always disliket
to have him wait upJn lady patients, and would
usually insist on accompanying him on such er
rands Of mercy. No tid'ngs have as yet been OBJ
tanned as to her present whereabouts.

business Thursday January q. 1t began in

early redeemed shares, which were mostly taken
by labOring men for building homes, averaged
over per cent. interest on money received OF

those who remained. The last nine shares were
redeemed by a compromise, paying the holder

but IS for legal advice. 1t effected but one fore
closure and that by mutual agreement and desire
of the nortgager. 1t ItsurVived the panic and hard
