Joseph Marquis Looking For His
 Long Lost Parents.

Joseph Marquis Looking For His
 Long Lost Parents.
 There arrived in this city a few days ago swell built, dark complexioned tory, as told by himself, reads like & novel.
 The stranger gave his name as Joe Marquis, and said he came to Waterbury in search of his parents from whom he had been separated for twenty-eight years. His father, he said was a, French man and his mother an Irish lady whose maiden name was Mccarthy. They lived in Waterbury for number Of years, until he was six years of age, when they removed to Philadelphia. Before reaching that city he became separated from his parents in some man. ner and was picked up and placed on board a ship bound for Mexico. Since that day he has never seen or heard from his parents.
 Marquis said he could not remember very much about his early life in Mexi- co, except that he lived with planter and was subjected to all manners of abuse. He learned the language and adopted the habits of the country and was tossed about on the tide of fortune meeting with nothing but hardships and abuse. When sixteen years of age he ran away from his master and joined the army, in which he served live years. Then for another term of years he roamed through the country without a home or friends until six or seven years ago he found himself in the United States. Not knowing where to go or what to do and having almost forgotten the English language, he enlisted in the army and served five years in regiment stationed in Nebraska and other western states. His term expired few months ago, and having in his possession . few hundred dollars he started for Phila- delphia to search for his parents who had been lost to him for twenty eight years.
 It will be remembered that Marquis was only child when he was taken away to Mexico and he could give but little description of his parents beyond their name. He could find no trace of them in Philapelphia and turned his steps toward Waterbury. He called upon many of the old French residents of this city, but none remembered his parents although one or two had faint Recollection of a child being stolen at the time Marquis claims he became separ ated from his friends.
 The stranger spent several days in this city and left for New York to continue his investigations. He told a straight forward story, was well supplied witt money, and spoke the English, Spanish and French languages.
