stable Edward j. Jones arrested, in this city,
about midnight on Saturday, and committed
10 iail, a young man named Thomas A Kel-
ley, says the Traveller, under following cir
cumstances Kelley has for some time been
paying attention TO girl of about eighteen
years, of respectable connections at the North
lind, hut his visits have been opposed by the
parents, who had reason 10 believe that from
his former character and habits he was not a
fit husband for their child, The girl, with
some reluctance dismissed Kelley, who after
wards il seems, was in the habit OF meeting
her Ia the street, as she passed 10 and from
her home, Finally, he induced hor to be-
lievo that the stories circulated against him
were untrue, and she consented TO attend with
him the marriage of his sister, which took
place at ST. Mary's Church. on Tuesday eve
ming last From the Church they accompa-
MED tho couple TO the hotel where they put
up, aud there Kelley told the girl that they
were married at the same time with his sis
tor. The girl demurred, but Kelley finally
carried bis point, and she did not return
home. The father and mother were Distress
cd at the disappearance of their child, and n
search was instituted Kelley being suspects
ed, was questioned and acknowledged that he
had married her, but rcfused TO disclose the
place other present abode. The priest of st.
Mary's, upon being referred to, denied that
he married Kelley 10 the girl. The mat
tor was then placed in the hands of officer
Jones' who found and arrested Kelley. From
him he learnt that after living with the girl
for several days, he informed her that they
were not married, conducted.her to another
hotel, and left her. Here she was found by
tho officer in great distress ofmind and taken
ITO her home. Kelley on Saturday obtained a
certificate with view of marrying the girl,
hut she, on learning his real character, refus-
ed to have ans+hing TO do with him.--Boston
