AVnLArN.-The Huntsville Item of the 1lth inst,
gives the following account of the recent debut and
exit ofone of the kind of scoundres that 'aoe read
about:n
"a man named John M. Dowling came here a
few weeks ago, to work as tailor with B. M. Clop.
ton OF our town. He is native of Brooklyn, New
York, and went to Murfreesborough, Tennessee,
some years ago, where he married young lady OF
wealthy connections, named Miss Mary Smith =
The lady acquired some property from her rea-
tions, in the way of negroes and, as the two con.
cluded to come to Texas, the slaves were sold and
Downing, retained the money. They have had
one child, since dead, and the wife is now encieate
few weeks ago Bowling gathered all the money
and other valuables Of his vile and sloped,'' leav
ing her perfectly destitute. He went to New Or
leans, and it is thought will go back to New York.
He is about five feet nine inches high sallow
plexion and the point of his proboscis looks toward
the heavens, sif it scorned connection with his
mouth. How the lady came to marry him is a
mystery TO US, for she is very handsome; but there
Is no accounting for tastes. What effects he had
left here were sold few days ago, and fund was
raised by Messrs Binford and Clopton enough to
send her back to her friends She left in the stage
on Wednesday, a broken hearted, deserted, plum.
