4 TILE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF ABDUCTION.

The young lady, Miss Emily Teal, who was seiz-
ed and torcibly carried away from her fatherss
house at Bergen Five Corners New Jersey on
Thursday night, at about O'Clock, was returned
IN an equally mysterious manner on Friday night
She was found in an almost insensible condition
on the steps of her fathers house carly on Satur-
day morning, dressed in her night clothes a. when
taken away. She islyery i'll, excited, and sfever-5
she be not Questioned until she somewhat recovers
We learn from a reliable source that the account
which she gives of the occurrence is that as she
was returning to the house ON Thursday evening"
she was seized when passing through the arbor and
instantly bhndfolded and gagged and conveyed in q
frightened and almost inting condition TO carriage
not tartrom the house. She driven RAPIDLY way
and as it seemed to her, long distance to house
blinded and almost insensible She crossed no ferry
She found herself when unblinded in small poorly
furnished apartment which was dnrkened and light
cd by q lamp dmly burning. She left nearly MI
the while alone in this room, until Friday night
She recelecs seeing an ordinary looking woman and
well dressed man in the room but probably would
not be able TO recognise them. ' :
When returned, she was walked all the way through
woods and fields blinded and gagged and left in the
road which from Bergen Corners TO Hoboken fer
ry, ut point half mile from her fathers residence
She made out to get that distance her home, and
was too much exhausted to alarm the family Food
and drink offered her but she refused them
and partook of nothing in the least during her alb
sence. No violence was offered to her excett carry
ing her away The motive which led to this strange
Outrage remains TO be known Il Is cdniecturrd that
the ruftans intended to seize one else and find
ing that they had the wrong person. returned her as
soon as possible IL is relieved that she was not tn
ken out of Hudson county. No little excitement and
alarm has been tfcIted in that neih6orhoGd by the
event The rumOr that she had Jcen traced across the
ferry aud down to the battery was Incorrect Tho

SPRING is COMING.
Spring. bright Spring, is come again,
To fill the earth with light;
Now April sends her gentle rain,
To bring the flowers in sight;
Soon Mays sweet bloom shall robe the earth
In hues ofbr liant dye,
And the CLASSY lake reflect once more,
blue and cloudless sky:
And the air be filled with sweet perfume.
Borne on the Southern breeze
AS it gently blows with zephyr breath,
Among the forest trees;
And the ripping stream, more brightly flow,
With soft and murmnring sound,
Near where the golden willows throw
Their graceful shadows round.
And the plum trees blossoms scent the air,
With odors light and sweet,
And the blue bell and the violet,
Be springng meath our feet
While the bright VINCE birds, sweet warblers,
Their joyous notes shall ring,
And the green robed earth be dotted Ger,
With the beauteous flowers of Spring.
