A HERMIT THIRTY YEARS.
Hammcii Lived In the Woods as the Re.
suit of n Political Vow.

After having been absent from home
for nearly 30 years. during which time
he lived the life of a hermit in the
woods, David Hammell Of Hardwick
township, ~. j., has returned to his
home.
His desertion Of his wife and three
children was due to a quarrel over his
support Of Marcus s.. Ward, Republican
candidate for governor Of New Jersey
in 1866, and his prolonged absence was
due to a solemn oath he took that he
would never return home till a Repub-
Iican was again seated in the executive
chair at the state capitol. He has at
times been obliged to live on acorns,
but he kept his VOW. The inauguration
Of Governor Griggs permitted him to
return to his former residence, where
no was received with rejoicing and APP
pie jack.
Hammell went into the woods and Sc
cured timber, with which he built him
self q hut. He lived alone in this all
these years until the election Of John
w. Griggs as governor.
Efforts were made by his family time
and time again to effect q reconcilia-
ton, but he would not go home, saying
that he intended to live alone until a
Republican was elected governor. His
wife and family demonstrated with
him, but he refused to speak to them,
and the impression went abroad that he
was dumb. Hammell took his supplies
from the house and barn and never said
a word to any IL until the news was
received that John W. Griggs had been
elected governor last fall.-New York
Journal.
