MAJ riagc In the Shaker STANDARDIZATION
Disappearance Of the Bride.

From the Rochester Democrat Aug. -.
Mr.. VIM. II. Trait called upon us yesterday TO re.
late the particulars OF recent affair among the Sha
kers located in the town of Groveland, Livingston
county. According to Mr.. T., he has been among
the Shakers for some ten years, having come from
st. Louis for the purpose Among the female mem
bers Of the community girl seventeen years Of
age, named Catherine Louisa johnson, who went
from this city when she was but two years old. She
has therefore been among them fifteen years, and
must have been thoroughly trained as member OF
the society. II seems, however, that she gave some
signs Of discomfort and Mr. Trait not long ago init
mated TO her his intention Of leaving. Miss John.
son signifed her willingness to 60 with him and be-
come his wife. How long the courtship had been In
progress we cannot state, but the first OF the pre-.
tent month II ripened into positive agreement and
en- that day the pair left for the residence OF FL
der Durand, Methodist minister Of Groyeland
by whom the marriage ceremony was solemnzed.
They remained at the house of Elder Durand
for three days, when Mr.. Trait went to work a
week for Mr.. Gray. On his return he found
that his wife had gone to the house of Mr.
Stevens, who runs the Shaker saw mill. IL was ar
ranged that she should remain there until Pratt com
plefed arrangements for housekeeping. He again
left and worked week for Mr.. Barnes, some two
miles from The village Of Mt. Morris On his return,
to his utter surprise, his young wife vas gone and
he could obtain no clue to her probable whereabouts
She had inquired Of Mrs. Stevens about the family Of
another Shaker GIRL who resided in Dansville, but
careful inquiry convinces Mr. Trait that his wife did
rat no in that direction. II has been ascertained
that about the time OF her disappearance-three

Of that affection which "robed my eyes in darkness
and cast a gloom upon my heart Yet am rCjOiced

most valued gifts and blessings OF humanity.
Soue three years SINCE as you aware was
attacked with disease Of the eyes, and after much
suffering and without any relief, at the solicitation
OF many friends placed myself under the treatment OF
some of the most distinguished medical gentlemen
IN the city OF St Louis, but without any success.
Ny condition was indeed a melancholy one-the
gloomy prospect of utter blindness and dark future
seemed to be my destiny. About this time-which
in July last, met with Miss Crothers, and 9th
er citizens of our county, who had been similarly
afflicted, but who had obtained relief and been per.
