Springfield comes to the front with. a story, which shows-up shows-up some of the beauties of the matrimonial journals. For some time Mr; Robert Islow, a married man of this city, has advertised in the Cincinnati Matrimonial, his number i being 241. ' He reoeived a number of letters in reply to his advertisement, one coming from a Mrs. J. Schuster of Indianapolis. Mrs. Schuster's letter was so pleasing that Islow decided to pay the writer a visit, and accordingly went . to Indianapolis. He represented rep-resented himself in a false light to Mrs. Schuster, informing her that he had been divorced from his first wife on account of her infidelity, that he had no children, and that he was at present receiving receiv-ing a regular salary of $12 per week with $1 per day spending money. He talked so sweetly to Mrs. Schuster that she was sure he was sincere in his desire for matrimony. She therefore wrote a letter to Mr. Rice, a shoe merchant of this city, by whom Islow has been employed for some time, in which she stated that Islow had brought her as a present twelve pairs of shoes for herself and children. . These he claimed to have bought of Bice at wholesale. On the strength of this letter Mr. Bice immediately had Islow arrested for theft, as he had purchased no shoes from him. - It turns out that Islow is a married man and has a wife and three little lit-tle children living in Youngstown. His wife has been writing pitiful letters from that city of her destitution. Bice has written to her and also to Mrs. Schuster, of Indianapolis, Indian-apolis, to put them on their guard against Islow. |
