MIDDLEBTJEGH, SNYDER Deserts His Wife and Child. The Lowisburg Sutunhii Newt of ast week says that Dr. Eyer Walter, proprietor of tho drug storo in Har rison's block, Lowisburg, clopod with tho 21-year-old daughter of a Selinsgrovo hotel keeper, and the lesertion of his faithful wifo and bright young daughter, created a profound sensation when tho report caked out early in the week. In or- ler that tho real facts in tho aso might bo learned, a .Xt irs repre sentative called on tho dosertod wife, and sho very freely gave all the information asked for, seeming anx ious that a true statement bo mado public. On Monday evening, May 1st, tho Dr. tlrovo to Selinngrove and return- tM to ijcwisinirg tiDout mntiugiii with tho young lady who seems to have so completely conquered him whiln ho boarded at her father's hotel, whilo keeping a general store in St liusgrove, before returning to Lowisburg and re-opening his drug store. Ho took tho girl to Milton, then brought tho horse back to Low isburg and had Wood Uiddlo drive him to Milton again where tho run aways took tho train for Philadel phia. Uiddlo says Walter had about il,00i) with him. Ho took no clothes with him except his best which he had put on iu tho afternoon. The Dr. is about 40 nnd is a bright, clever fellow, except when ho imbibes too freely, which unfortunate habit is doubtless tho causo of this lust strango escapade. His wifo is a daughter of Mr. Jacob Sander's of New Berlin, and she hua always deported hursolf in a manner that should have mado her husband a happy and contented man, whilo his lC-year old daughter is bright and pretty aud sweet enough to fill any man's homo with sunshine. For twenty years tho couple havo lived together, but according to tho story as related by Mrs. Walter, during tho past five or six years her husband has been a changed man, and she looked for something of this kind long ago. Her only fear seems to have been that ho would desert her and leave her penniless. But this ho did not do. Ho left for her bone fit a judgment note that will cover his several properties in Lowisburg and tho drug store, amounting iu nil to from !:J,iM0 to .-,,01)0. Before leaving tho Dr. drew his entire bal anco ffoin tho Lowisburg banks from tho Union National ;!,H00 aud from tho Lowisburg National $1,230. This, with somo collections he hud made, started him oil' with ft stake of about !?3,0'I0. Iu addition to tho deeds for his Lowisburg property Mrs. Walter is to have a small farm iu Kansas. This will leave her coin foitable. Sho told our represeutu tive that she intended selling tho drug store aud living quietly in Lowisburg. Sho says sho does not exnect hor husband to ever recurn. Tho young lady in question is Miss Alice Arbogust, daughter or Jon n Arbogast, proprietor of the Farmer's Hotel, helinsgrove.
