pers record case of elopement in high life,
(of course the end Of which affair transprcd
in that city. The Intelligencer says
A gentleman of respectable connections and
considerable wealth left Boston Il few weeks
ago with a lady and started westward on
pleasure trip. We don't know how man could
do such an out-of-thc way thing, but the truth
must be told. For some cause he left his rife
Mt home to take care Of the children, without
even apprsing her Of his intention of travelling
We cannot trace the new couple through all
their stagings, steamboatings, and other means
OF locomotion to this city; it is enough to state
that they arrived here on Saturday last, and
took rooms at the Virginia Hotel Upon their
arrival at that house the gentleman represented
the lady Us his wife, and stated that they had
been recently married and were then on their
bridal tour All was supposed to he right, and
nothing occurred to mar the happiness Of the
young couple for twenty-iOur hours after their
advent into the city. At that time Captain
Cozzins had some business to transact with the
gentleman, who was forced for a while to forego
the pleasure of his ladys company The Cap
tain is a peculiar sort of man, and never was
known to go where he had no business So per-
SONS who knew the position he occupies in this
city were obliged to think something was wrong
with the Bostonian. They were right, and the
facts are briefly these:
The gentlemans wife missing her husband,
as She most likely would started in pursuit.
She had followed in their wake to this city, AMI
upon her arrival here she gave Information of
her erranl and Captain Cozzcns Immediately
commenced search for the runaway couple.
We have seen that he found them, and his bust
ness was to arrest the Lam at the instance Of
his wife, who was stopping at the Planters
! House.
She was informed of the fact that the truant
couple had been shared, and lost no time in pay
ing her compliments 10 them in person at the
| Virginia Hotel
1t is said that n scene cnsued after the meet
ing, and that police we're necessary to restore
! peace and quiet, and preserve the good order Of
the house
The bewillered gentleman used his best en-
deavOrs TO compromise the matter, and at last
succeeded by Offering the young lady consid-
cradle amount Of money, which she accepted
aud agreed to return Immediately to Boston.
The wife was satisfied with the arrangement,
and we understand that the couple are making
a short stay TO see the wonders Of st. Louis, but
will soon leave for Boston to Join their young
family, and the forgyng lady has promised
"neyer TO desert Nr. Nicdwbcr, if he will re-
main true and faithful hereafter.
An clopoment and marriage took place il
Wheeling the other evening, Of a youngster ant
his lanlQdy daughter, who had just arrived
Mt sweet sixteen. They had their clothes al
made ana snugly slowed away, but the Old lady
had not been looking over her spectaces fol
nothing, and when the hour came for stealing
