Harford Mills, March 10, - The following is from the Free Press, Quakertown, Lehigh Co., PA, dated Feb. 27, 1891. We are this week called upon to chronicle the misdoings of our former townsman, Phaon GERHARD. Mr. GERHARD for a number of years, was a respected citizen of this place, living here with his wife and daughter and was engaged in the cattle business, but about five years ago he failed financially. He continued to live here with his family, doing odd jobs Last November he left this place and his whereabouts for sometime was unknown. From the time he left he also failed to support his family, which at times was in very straightened circumstances. Some time ago, however, it leaked out that he was living with a rich widow in the neighborhood of Harford Mills, NY. A few weeks ago he wrote home saying that his wife should get his clothes in readiness, as he is coming for them but he did not have time for a long stay. Time passed and on last Wednesday he put in hi! s appearance. His wife immediately went to the office of 'Squire BLANK and swore out a warrant for his arrest for non support. Constable KNAUSS served the warrant and brought him before the justice who demanded bail for his appearance at the April term of court. Mr. GERHARD was unable to secure the required amount of bail and as a consequence was in the Lehigh county jail the same afternoon. Much sympathy is felt for his wife, who is an "estimable lady." The Harford Mills people judged that someone must have gone his bail, as he is back living here with the young widow. Walter SHAFER'S injured foot is improving under the skilful care of Dr. J. E. LEONARD. The family of O. F. SEXTON spent last week in Ithaca. A dime social in favor of the Methodist church is to be held at the residence of B. CHAPPINS on Wednesday evening of this week. Rev, Mr. BOTHWICK of Binghamton was a guest of O. F. SEXTON on Monday. He will long be remembered here as the speaker who rendered himself deservedly popular by delivering a very able address at the Christian conference last fall. Quite a number from this place attended the Sunday school association At Harford Sunday and reported a good time. George Hubbard was in Cortland last week. Mrs. MYERS is suffering from neuralgia in the face. L. E. HAY has returned home from Michigan. WAVERLY WOOD SAWYERS. Now that it is authoratively announced that O. G.
