two weeks since an account of an elopement
on the South Side" of married lady with a
young gentleman, in which the husband overlook
the abscondiDg parties and meted out summary
punishment upon the young man with bowe-knfe,
and aferward conveyed the injured party to his own
domicil and called in dics aid if possible, to pre-
serve his life The announcement caused great sen.
sation in the neighbOrhood where the scene was
enacted and everybody was inqurDg of everybody in
hopes TO obtain clue to who the guilty parties
were. This led to great many surmises and much
scandal and the result has been that number of in
rgues not at all credable to the character of of
the residents of that vicinity have come to light.
Several Of the Brooklyn and New-York papers have
denounced the affair az an absurd hoax got up from
imagination, for the purpose of causing sensation.
number Of gentlemen who have failed to ferret out
the matter claim that there no foundation for the
report, and that it was a malicious article. Our
porter wishes to state that there was no malice in the
article; and further, that the sabbing occurred as
stated a. that time; that the young conveyed
to the house of his assailan where he still remains,
and that the wife was turned away, all Of which can
be substantisted.
