Especial to The Bulletin.)

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Jewett City, Oct. 11.-On Thursday of last week Albin Meliewski was walking about two miles below the railroad bridge when he heard a man on the Lisbon side of the river pray ing in the Polish language. Upon in- vestigation he found him in a pitia1ble condution, but very unwilling to come back to Jewett City. Another man, MT. ZawistoroSki, enlisted the sympa- thy of Ignatius Yagella, the young man who has charge of Polish school on Factory Hill. He immediately went down to see the man and found him with no clothing but rags, barefooted, and scarcely able to walk. His hair and beard wer of great length, and he evidently was not in his right mind, as he seemed to think he owned the adjacent farms. He had made a fro place of stones with a piece of iron across the top and probably had lived on vegetables from neighboring fields. He had slept with no shelter but bushes and trees. His name is Antoni Petruszka and he is 29 years old. He has lived here for eight years and on account of hard luck disappeared on July 10th. MT. Yagella finally per- suaded him to come back, although he Said he would rather die. for no one wanted him because he had no money. MT. Yagella found clothing for him, collected a sum of money which will -care for him for a time and also found lodging place. He said the man would not have lived two weeks longer in all probability. He has a sister living on Factory Hill.
