against her. When found by the officer

This woman has peculiar history and
one made up OF crime and adventure,
Her name Is Mary Goldbury, and she
halls from somewhere in the vicinity Of
Uhrichsyille, this State. Although but
thirty.three years OF age, for at least fifteen
wears she has been what might be termed
thoroughly bad. One OF her modes Of
making q living, was to dress herself in
her adopted costume and drive horses ON
the canal, in which she would easily
pass for q man, as her features are very
coarse and masculine. Alter few yeRrH
she graduated from the towpath full
fledged thief, and has since worked al
her profession,
Alter she was arrested here at the time
mentioned, she left the city, She return
