JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.,
DEAR SIR,
The old year has departed, and the new one CON-
Witnessing the departure of the old gentleman last
night at twelve O'Clock, and about five minutes
prior to that time, drank his health in a parting
glass. A great number of our young blades made a
night of it, in commemoration OF the departure OF
the old, and the beginning OF the new year Our re
gious citizens not to be behind in welcoming '43
held watch meetings in their respective meeting
houses and watched the old year out and prayed
the new year IN.
There has been considerable excitement here for
the last two three days, caused by the eopement
of young lady of Hartford county, with Dutch
man named Hack, who speaks Engss very mper
fectly however, he made the young lady under
stand sufficient to convince her that the only happl
this earth is to be experienced in the married
state, and that the pleasure of living with man
who il is difficult to converse with, is far better
than living under her fathers roof, surrounded with
every comfort she could desire. Butlthe worst of
the thing for Mr. Hack, is that he not only carried oft
his future wife, but two of her papa's negroes for
p.hoh lag wi ia all probability be tried for kdnap-
ping. The denouement of the plot was discovered
and resulted in the following way:-On the arrival of
the young lady In the city, she was seen by an &C
quaintance, who Immediately informed her father
where his daughter was, and in all probability he
would have sonin-law he did not take immediate
measures for the prevention OF the marriage the ia
Their on his arrival in town, called to see the Hon. So
lomOn Hitler, our efficient mayor, and stated TO him
the facts he was In possession Of and requested his in
reference and assistance the recovery of his daugh
ter. The Mayor with that promptness and decision
that usually characterlzes him, caused immediate
search to be made in that portion OF the city mostly
occupied by the Dutch, and after diligent search,
the fair was found in the garrett of three story
house on Fells Point, in duresse. She imme-
diatey liberated and started for home with her father
The gay deceiver was found In the parlor enjoying
himself with the assistance of his pipe and tobacco
with quite the demme eye air, and was probably
voving in his mind the profit that would accrue TO
him from the sale of the negroes. However, his
meditatlons were disturbed by the entrance of the
officers with warrant, who toon HIM before ma.
glstrate to answer the charge of spirting away the
two darkeys and was released on bail of $500 to
answer the foregoing charge at the city court. So
stands at the at present. II is astonishing what
risks these lovely and charming young creatures
will run to be taken into profitable concern a
sleeping partner.
The Washington Temperance Society held
meeting in their Hall last evening, and were adj
dressed by Thomas F. Marshall, who is by far the
best temperance speaker ever heard. Mr. M sue
ceeded in persuading quite number to sign the
pledge, and among them several young men, though
pretty old topers. May they become from this night
temperate men.
