MOpement ExtraOrdinarys

A curious case of elopement took place
in this county last Monday, The parties
are married, and when we take into con
sideration that both leave families behind,
we are led to call the elopement one OF
an extraordinary character. The woman
who cloped is Mary Edwards, of St.
Clair; the mans name is B. French, al.
so of that place. The particulars Of the
case, as we have obtained them from an
authentic source, are as follows:
"Jenkin Edwards, the husband of Ma
ry Edwards, is an industrious and honest
man but having met with an accident
some time since, by which he was depri-
we'd of the use of an arm, and the sight
Of an eye, and being unable to obtain a
livelihood by labor, he was compelled to
seek relief by asking assistance from
strangers and while on such an expedi-
ton. French, who is a married man, be-
came upon intimate terms with Mrs. Ed.
wards. Mr.. Edwards, .returaed last
week. and brought with him a considera.

Mrs. Edwards. more than Mrs. French,
and Mrs. Edwards thinking more, per-
haps, of Mr.. French than Ed wards, they
conceived plot Of clipping. This plot,
last Monday, was put into execution, and
both parties came to Pottsville as man
and wife, we presume, obtained passage
IN the morning train Of cars, and started
tor parts unknown. Mr.. Edwards, mis-
sing his wife was Immediately on the
alert. and suspecting something of the
kind had occurred, as they we're seen
vending their, way to the depot, took
the necessary precautien by which to ar
rest the party. A photographic dispatch
was sent to Reading and Philadelphia.

Most Melancholy Event.

On Monday night last, Miss Emetine
Newton, a young lady Of 20 years,
daughter of o. 3. Newton, in a fit Of
somnambulism left her room at Mr.. Will
lard Weeks's, where she had been stay
:ng some months past, and wandered
away from the house. After long scar
ching her body was found in the riyes,
under the dam near the foundry of
Messrs. Brown & Gage, on Tuesday af-
.ernoon.
The above is the most singular and
mysterious AFFAIR that has ever come un-
der our notice-transpiring in the still
ness OF the night unperceivcd by any
person save the; unconscious sufferer;
there is dark mystery hanging over the
transaction which adds terror to the
frighttul reality, and which cannot be re-
moved by time itself. The young lady
took nothing from her room when cav
ing; her stockings, even were where she
had left them upon retiring. Uhaccus-
toned to wearing night clothes, she was
almost entirely nude, her person exposed
to the cold chilling atmosphere of q mid
night Apnl--thls alone it would seem
should awaken her, but unfortunately 10
did not. On Monday evening she visit.

where she was living, and while there re-

this circumstance it is inferred that in the
course OF the night she began to dream
upon the pleasure she had promised her.
self on the coming day, and being some
what subject to somnambulism, arose,
came down stairs, unlocked the door,
passed through shed. into the yard.
From here she probably took her usual
path for home. 10 do this required the
climbing Of several fences, walking a street
for several rods, and the crossing river
either by a bridge or, foot. board-from
one Of the latter she must have fallen. It
seems indeed miraculous that she did not
wake during the journey to the stream,
but she was undoubtedly under a strong
mental excitement, occasioned bv the
fond anticipation Of soon engaging in the
happy hiimnty consequent upon the oc-
currence of birth day festival! And
hastily skipping homeward, joyful and
careless. she stepped upon the fatal
bridge b. fore she awoke.
Perhaps the roaring of the river re-
stored her to consciousness. when bewil-
dered at her frightful situation she mis-
sed her footing and plunged into the cur.
rent, became overpowered and was
drowned; or perhaps did not awaken
even upon reaching the bridge. still i'm

she awoke only wher the dashing waters
startled her With the fearful realization
that her twe6tieth birth day was die ISst

LANlENTABLE AFFAIR AT QUIN
.... .CY, MASS. ~ IT,. ....-

A correspondent furnishes us with the
particulars of an affair of the most dis
tressing character, which occurred at
Quincy, on Tuesday last. The dead
body Of young lady named Harriet A.
Nigh.engale, daughter of Mr.. Moses
Nightengale., was on that day found in
the canal, not far from the residence of
the late John Quincy Adams. 1t seems
that Miss Nighteng"le had formed an at
tachment for a young man residing in
Quincy; and at first, she thought her af-
lection might be reciprocated. But at
tending church last Sabbath. she heard
read the name of her lover declaring his
intentions of marrying another young la
day. This drove her to madness, and
going home, she passed the night in a
dreadful state of me ntal excitement. On
Monday she wrote letter, directed to
her lover, which she dropped in the post.
office, and it is presumed that the same
night she put an end to her existence by
throwing herself in the canal. Since the
-ecovcry of her body the contents of the
letter have been made public. In it she
expressed q deep affection for the young
man-.-stated that she had rejected mary
suitors on his account, aud that as he was
ABOUT marrying another, she could no,
bear the thought Of living. Miss Night.
engale was about 81 years Of age. and
bOreta high reputation among large
I circle Of devoted friends.--B0ssOs Hsr.
