HE TEDEsco AFFAIR. The New York A.
las contains an article in regard the reported mar
rage OF olshoFlna Iedesco to distinguished New
Grenadan, and her subsequent deser,ion bv him =,
which the whole story is contradicted from hes;n-
nlng to end. The article says that although the
New Grenadian was intimate with the Sgnorina. he
was never married to her, and consequently his
abandonment of her was not cruel, after ALL II is
further stated that the gentleman is now in New
Y ork, where he is about to commence proceedings
against the journal which announced the MARRIAGE
ana desertons: The most extraordinary feature in
the is, that Tedesco is in New York or soon
will be, to appear as witness, and prove that she
never was married to the individual in question.

400 ACRES OF LAND,

about 4 miles from Shcpherdstown, on the
main road from said town to Martinsburg.

as are common on a farm Of that size.
The land is Of fine quality, and in high
state Of cultivation, and the farm is gener-

neighborhood. A more minute descriP-

is well known, and it is presumed that
persons wishing to purchase will view the
premises before the day of sale.
