OF n Young Woman.

Boston. May 11.-NIrs. Marie EEcry OF Bangor
has asked the Supreme Court Of this State to
declare absolute the decree nisi which d.
vorced her from her former husband. Elmer

cree was obtained by Mrs. Bolton in this State
in 1863. on tho ground OF desertion. and acc
cording to the rule of the court the decree
could be made absolute. thus giving her the
right to marry again six months afterward.
After that time had expired her lawyer. F. II.
Appleton. handed petition for the decree
absolute to Clerk George c. Wilde. who was
n personal friend of Mrs. Bolton. and who
assured him that the petition would be at
tended to. The matter was allowed to rest
there; under the. snppositinn that Mr.. Wilde
would give his attention to tho petition. This
confidence was misplaced. for no notice. WAS
taken of the petition. and no mention of the
decree absolute appears upon the records of
the court.
