| COULD WAR NO LoNGER.-One day du.
ring the past week bridal party arrived at
the Spencer House, Cincinnati, from Brack-
en- county, KY, consisting Of the bride,
bridegroom and the lady and gentleman
Who attended upon tIsem durihp the wed
aing ceremony. During the afternoon the
happy party took ride around the city, in
the evening attending the National Theatre,
after which they sought their quarters and
retired for the night at gerry respectable
hour. The remainder Of the story is rela.
ted by the Cincinnati Enquirer, as follows:
The young lady who attended upon the
bride was a young sister. who, it appears,
bad been courted for more than year by
the attendant upon the bridegroom. He
had even gone SO far as to ask the hand of
the sister from the ladys father, but was
refused on account of the extreme youth of
the daughter, she being but triHe upward
of sixteen.
Everything went merry as marriage
bell until the following morning at nine
o'clock. when the bride and bridegroom ap
peared at the breakfast table, where they
were met by the ever smiling Pratt, the
landlord. Late as it was, the rest Of the
party had not come down, and the bride
requested that they be sent for. 1t was
done. The messenger, however, soon re.
turned with the intelligence that neither
the lady nor the gentleman were in their
rooms. This was astounding, the wonder
was what was become OF them, although II
was shrewdly suspected by the bridegroom
what course the twain had taken. Inquiry
was made by the gentleman On watch when
the first train of cars left for Louisville that
morning. whereupon it was ascertained the
lovers had taken the train, and were far up.
on their journey to matrimony.
Last evening, about seven o'clock, that
part Of the wedding party left behind re-
ceived despatch from Louisville, which
read:
Dear Sister: Charles aud could wait
no longer-the knot is tied. KATE"
1t was rather an unexpected sequel, but
Pratt said there did not appear to b. many
regrets among any of the party; on the con-
trary, the bride and bridegroom on the first
part appeared highly delighted.

ANOTHER CASPER HAUsER SroRY.-A
letter in the Allegemeine Zeitung tells a
most romantic story of girl who was found
in November, 1853. wandering about near
the village Of Welskircheu, in the Banat
almost IN savage state, unable TO speak
intelligibly, though she was full grown. She
has been carefully educated, since that time,
by Frederick Eek, the teacher 10 whom she
was confided by the municipal authorities
OF Otfenbach. She is now able TO give some
account Of herself and the result has been
publish ed by Herr Eek in pamphlet Just
tad of l.
ed from her is, that before she was Ave years
old, she was seized aud carried away from
her mother, who lived, according to her de.
scrption, in large house, like castle,
with three towers, and probably situated
somewhere in Hungary.
For some fifteen or sixteen years after
wards she lived in place under ground,
in the midst Of forest, where she was tend
ed by an old woman called Bertha, and a
man named Eleazer used 10 bring food and
clothes for both Of them. About seven
years after her arrival there little baby,
two or three months old, named Adolf, was
brought to the subterranean dwelling, and
remained there from that time. No in
struction was given to either of the chill
dren, but they were kindly treated. In
October, 1853, their foster-mother, Bertha,
took the girl out Of the cavern, put her into
carriage drawn by two horses, and con.
veyed her TO the place where she was aban-
doned near Aschaifenburg, whence she
wandered about until she was found by the
country people. The little boy was left be-
hind in the underground abode. Such is
the story which Herr Eek has been able to
gather from the girls broken recollections
The Austrian government has directed all
possible researches TO be made by the local
authorities to clear up this mysterious affair.
