.fbduction.--An affair happened some
days since in town in the western part
of this county, which we are told has made
considerable excitement in that vicinity.
1t seems that a married man, who has ac-
quire6 some celebrity for his intrigues and
mischief with the fair sex, az well as In
making Cenals, became acquainted with a
young woman Of respectable character d.
tionsand eeduccd her from the path
Of rectitude. She was suddenly missed in
a mysterious manner-her parents became
alarmed, and q seArch commenced. Two
men were arrested at a town some ten or
twelve milss distant from her home, for
having been concerned in conveying her
away, and one Of them bound over for tri-
al; but no Intelligence, at our last lnforma-
tion, could be obtained ofthe glrl. Strong
suspic ions are aaoat that she has been dealt
much more roughly by, than the nero car
rying her on, and fears Of her life are en-.
tcr,ainsd by some.-springheld Repub.

resided up stairs in the same house heard
the shrieks Of the unfortunate sufferer, but

nought was lch but the horrid spectacle Of
Ia human being vainly struggling amidst al
the horrors Of the destructive element.
