love adventure happened in this city a fort
night since, Which as it has a moral TO it, it may
not be amiss 10 relate. A stranger came among
us a little while ago, and in the course of itine-
racy IN the prosecution of his business, fell in
with a pretty, inexperienced girl, and after a
lew interviews promised her marriage, and they
were TO start for Boston in the afternoon train,
TO have the knot tied. IN the mean time, the
mother-ln-law of the girl got an inkling Of what
was going on, and she also appeared at the de-
pot, TO RESTRAIN her rowing daughter from throw
ing herself into the arms of comparative stran-
ger.
The second Act opens at the Depot with the
train about 10 start. The mother had entered
the cars and confronting her daughter and her
lover, by turns entreated the one TO return

''steallng away an old woman's daughter The
daughter would pot heed her entreaties and
tears. The lover was cold and Indifferent to her
threats. She told him he was a married man
and unprincipled---and babe HIM beware of retri-
button. 10 her daughter, she appealed, that she
might return with her, and make her home. glad,
which was now desolate. The passengers feel
Ings were manifestly on the side of the mother
but her appeals could not draw her daughter
out of tine cars. Meanwhile time flew, and the
moment of departure came. The mother was
still beseeching--the daughter pouting--the To-

he rushed to the window, and, with a S3 bill be-

She was evidently leaving home, in this mans

the thought no longer-but set off with frantic
speed in full chase after the cars! Some shout
