Two more divorce cases were tried and
determined. These two also came from
Ferrsburg, which, with StarksborO,

burg two years later and lived there to-
gether until 1887, when the lady left and
the husband has never seen her since,
although he understands that she re-
turned to Swanton by train and has
since been living in Massachusetts. No
children had been born and the divorce
was granted on the ground set up in the
petition. f. w. futile of Vergennes
was the petitioners counsel and there
was no defense.
William ii. LarrOw VS.. Nellie b. Lar

parties were married in the Congrega-
tlonal parsonage at Ferrisburgh in 1898,
but never kept house. They worked
around at different places, and three
years ago last August the petitioner,
after second child had been born, went
home to live with her parents, who are
poor people. She never had anything
more 10 do with her husband and made
no defense 70 the suit, although Frank

futile again acting for the petitioner
The bill was granted, but the custody of
the two children was awarded to Mrs.
