Encouragement now came more closely to the point.
He produced four anonymous letters which Earl
Ferrers had received after his return from abroad,
written by a lady and full of expressions of the most
ardent affection. Many more had been received, but
they were destroyed and it was only after a search
that the four now produced were discovered. Two
handkerchiefs had also been received on separate oc-
casions. The first letter was dated 18th December.

After counsel had closed his commentary, Mr..

at Ashby.
On Wednesday, the Solicitor-G eneral stated. that

case, and allow the plaintiff to be nonsuited.
The Attorney-General and the Court approved of
this course. The letters produced on both sides were
impounded, also the two handkerchiefs which Earl
Ferrers had received from his beart-sick correspond

and perhaps others for conspiracy.
An ELoPEMENT.-In consequence of fair promises
of marriage, a young lady of Cebotville, Mass, "a
manufacturing town on the line of the Boston and
Albany Railroad was induced TO elope with a young
man at that place. They took French leave and
went straight on to Buffalo as fast as the steam horse
could whirl them there. On their arrival in that city
they took rooms al one of the first Hotels, and the
young man told the all unsuspecting girl that he had
sent out for a minister, who would soon tie their des-
TIMES together In the hard knot of m%atrimony.
But then, poor creature, came a bitter disappointment
"a destruction of the airy castle hope had built.
Under this comforting assurance, and taking advan-
tage of her confidence in the near approach Of the
consummation Of her fondest anticipations and bright
est dreams, the faithless william attempted TO accom-
plish the ruin of the fair girl, whose affections he had
won, and who had given convincing proofs CT her at
tachment to him, and reliance on bis promises. But
the fellow was banked in his infamous design. The
vigorous resistance of the poor girl and her cries for
help, brought assistance ere her strength failed her.
The landlord burst into the room, and soon received
a frank and honest statement of all the circumstances
from the girl. His measures were quickly taken.
At his request the weeping girl left the room. Then
locking tie door he said TO the ~faithless, heartless fell
low Now you contemplate scoundrel, bring to me
all your baggage and open 1.-THE command was
obeyed. "Now," he added, " strip yourself of all
your outer garments, and hand them to me."-This
order was also obeyed. He then searched his trunk
and pockets, and taking therefrom all the money that
be could find, amounting to about $50, he returned to
the fellow his clothes and baggage, and when he had
dressed, gave him a hint 10 leave the house, that he
was not slow to take. He then gave the girl all the
money and putting her in the safe charge Of a friend,
sent her home to Cabotville. He has since received
a letter from her, thanking him heartily, in the name
of herself and her parents. for his timely aid in res
cuing her so effectually from an unmitigated william.
The landlord has his reward. We trust the false
hearted seducer will receive the full punishment his
villiany merits.-AbaRy Citizen.
