ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. On Monday
last an elopement of a singular nature created much sensation in
the village of Lenham, where the parties resided. The gallant, a
young man aged 27, selected a lady of the age of 51, wife of a
labouring man, and who he was perfectly sure would be blind to
all his faults—for, alas ! she had lost her eyesight these ten years
past ; but her feelings were quick as ever ; for, before starting
she ransacked the drawers of all she could lay hold of. The par_
ties were traced to Rochester, and stated there that they were
proceeding to America. It is thought is the village that she will
see her folly.—.Kentish Gazette.
