contracted their wool several cents below

Another Ro,nance i'm Real Lie,


Our city was The scene OF al exciting
affair yesterday, the general outlines Of
which we consider Of sufficient public in.
terest TO give in detail.
Miss Susan Denim, the handsome and
clever young actress, yesterday became
Mrs. F, Woodward, having been married
rather unexpectedly. 1t ltappears that Mr..
W. who is gentleman OF Syracuse, in
excellent business. and affluent circum.
stances. has for year or more been in
love with Miss Denim. lie has followed
her from place 10 place; has written her
letter alter letter, but has never been able
to make her acquaintance, and his letters
we're never received, it now seems. by
the young lady. On Saturday, it is repu.
ted, that Miss Denim had some disagree.
ment with her step.father, and guardian.
Yesterday morning the friendly relations
between them had not been resumed.
which young w tried 10 turn TO his advan.
tage. His father, at his request, called
on Miss DIS guardian, she having finish
ed her 18th year, and proposed the mar
riage of his son and Miss d., offering, it
is said, TO give the guardian large sum,
$4,000 is named.) for any prospective
loss lie might sustain. This was refused
young W. then gave domestic $50 to
carry note to Miss D.. during her guar.
dams absence. The colored gentleman
proved faithful Ganymede, and deliver.
ed the missive. Miss d. sent for the wri.
ter, she had never seen him-he arrived
at her room door, when she met him.
DO you want 10 marry me--are you
in earnest :" was the salutalion.
"I do, and will"
'Send for priest"
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon answered the
summons. Mr.. Warren and his lady and
some other friends were present, and the
ceremony was performed.
The party. consisting Of the happy
couple, the sister Miss Kate Denim. and
the governess of the young lady left on
the cars last evening for the east. We
learn that the new couple will again make
this city visit in about two weeks.
There are divers rumors as TO the con-
duct OF her guardian, which we do not
deem necessary TO publish, if true, and
we know nothing of their truth or falsi.

He was travelling through part Of Vir-

ed during the evening to draw him into
conversation, but failed in all his efforts.
But in the morning when Mr.. Randolph
was ready 10 start, he called for his
bill, which on being presented, was paid.
The landlord, still anxious to have some
conversation with him, he began as fol-
