A PRAYERFuL YOUNG MAN FoRsAKEs
THE PATH OF RECTrrUDE AND v1R-
TUE, AND-WHAT COME OF IT.
Yesterday morning the Burrell ave-
nue. restaurant, run under the firm name
of Liason, Bradley 4 Co., was the scene
of very lively fracas, accompanied
with knock down, more or less blood
shed, and cries of murder! murder! help!
help! etc.
The alleged particulars are given to
usas follow: Last Friday the senior
member of the firm, Ludwig Liason,
took the Go" of the firm "a yoke of
oxen), and repaired to the river for a
load of wood, leaving the Junior member
of the firm, Edwin Bradley, and Mrs.
Liason in charge of the business. Liza
son got lost, and did not find himself
until Sunday morning, when he turned
up in Cooperstown. In the meantime,
it is alleged. that Bradley was more So
licitous for the welfare of the woman
than for the business, and on his part
ner not returning when expected, he
became much more so; and last Satur-
day night, while her ladyship was peace
fully sleeping Ill her humble couch, Mr..
b., who couldn't longer bear to see her
thus neglected, softly entered the ap-
partment, and reclining on the side of
the aforesaid couch, was keeping the
mosquitoes otf-so to speak when the lady
awoke, saw and recognized the intruder,
jumped out of bed, siezed a butcher
knife and made lunge at Bradley, who
barely escaped through the door with
his life. When Liason returned home
his wife related to him the antics of the
aforesaid Bradley, and the whole affair
eliminated in a pitch battle Thursday,
in which Bradley was muchly worsted.
The firm has dissolved, as will be seen
by notice published elsewhere.
Bradley. to all outward appearances,
has been most devout christian, and
exhorted and prayed with vehemence
whenever any occasion offered itself;
and was considered model Young man
by many.
