Another Case OF seduction--Moss
Damntng Outrage.
! We desire the community. far and
near, 10 become acquainted with the char
acter Of a man named DUNLAP, who until
recently was employed as a clerk in the
store of DR.. Olds, at Circleville. Some
months since, this individual found him
self engaged to marry two young ladies Of
that town, both Of whose affections:hc had
won by the strongest professions OF love
and regard. One Of them was an orphan
girl who had been brought from Virginia
when a chhd, and raised by an old lady
Of Circlevillc. Dunlap finally married
tho other. telling Miss Is-(the orphan)
that he did so against his will-ihat GER
tain circumstances forced him into the
mcasure-and that he still loved her as
dearly as ever
After practising various devices 10 CON
vince her Of the truth Of all this, he finally
succecded and about Two weeks since
obtained a promise from her TO clope with
him. II was planned that she should star,
for Columbus, where he would Join her
nj time agreed upon. Having full CON
fdencc that he would prove faithful to all
his promises, and marry her when they
were once cut Of the reach Of his wife
and the laws Of Ohio, she made the Jour
ncy TO Columbus, where he joined her
the next day. lie then proposed TO 60 to
~. Louis, where he said he could get into
business.
Upon reaching Cincinnati. the poor de-
ludsd creature was prevailed upon TO pass
as his wife, without going through the re-
Juistc forms Of the law. They started
for St. Louis; and the next day after their
arrival there, he made some remarks
about business being dull, and proposed
to go to Pittsburgh. She did not know,
or did she think, that this would be rctur-
ming almost 70 the point from whence they
started. and so she asscn.ed.
On this trip, between here and -. Lou
is, he, by means Of fraud, obtained all the
letters from her trunk that he had ever
written to her. and ,hrowed them over
board. When asked why he did this, he
told her thai it was because he wished her
To forget the past, and live only in happi-
ness for the future. His real motive was
evidently to destroy all written proofs oil
his bascness.
They arrived here yesterday mornin g
early. aud repaired to the City Hotel,
where he said they would take breakfast
and then proceed in another boat TO Pitts
bnrgh. They were shown Il room, and
after breakfast Dunlap went out, telling
her he would be back soon. He went i'm

his name FIR Circifri l.. According to
his request. the stage called for him at the
steamboat landing where he went for his
baggage, which he left on the boat in the
morning, and an hour before his victim

She is deeply sympathizcd for by the

sires to remain. But what is sympathy
and kindness 10 a woman of high moral
feeling and sense Of honor, who thus finds
herself ruined by the basest devices ever
Matched in hell! She is now almost a ma
