or may not be True.
For some days past considerable ex-
element has been felt in some circles
in this community in reference TO
an affair in humble life the par
%ticulars of which we cannot permit to
pass unnoticed. So far as we have been
able to gather the facts Of the case, they
appear TO be as follows: N ~
About three years ago George Fry, of
this vicinity, became enamored Of a beau.
tiful gypsy girl, who in company with a
number Of her people had encamped IN a
weed near this place. Mr.. Fry's love
was fondly reciprocaied by the fair gypsy,
and she consented to marry him. l. But
'',rue love never did run smooth" and SO
il happened in this case. The consent of
the father Of the lady could not be obtain
ed TO her marriage with "a man not ac-
customed to gentiii,y" However, ''love
laughs at loeksmiths." When Mr.. Fry
found that he "could not win the favor Of
the old folks" he set about planning ways
and NEAR to steal the object of his affec-
tons. In this he was not unsuccessful.
One night when the ~hard-hearled old man
was wrapped in the arms Of. Morpheus,
and all around was lonely and drear, Mr..
Fry approached the camp of the wander
ers, and was me, by her for whom his
heart had long in agony sighed. After
fondly embracing her, he solicited her to
accompany him, without delay to a village
a few miles distant. Without hesitation
she compiled with his request, and ON the
following day they were married. The
rage of the old g psy when he found that
his daughter had "sloped' eau better be
imagined than described. Nothing could
soothe his temper save the return of his
child. In vain he sought for her. Moth
ing could be heard from her. Finally
when he found that he himself could find
no traces of her, he offered a heavy re-
ward TO the person who would discover
her Whereabouts, and in the presence of
several "~kidnappers," he exhibited large
quantities of gold and silver, which in
duced them to make the effort. and in a
few evenings after, in a most inhuman
manner, they accomplished their object.
In the absence Of MIR. Fry they wres,ed
her away and delivered her over to the
hands of a father unsusceptible of the dl.
vine feelings of love. Immediately the
entire group of gipsies fed from the
country. Rumor said that they had re.

Two years noiselessIy gllded by, and
nothing was heard from his absent wife,
altho' he long cherished the hope that she
wo'd escape from her '~'tyranhical parent
and return to him whom she loved. Time,
however, gradually rusted Mr.. Fry's love
for his gypsy wife. He felt hat it was
"not good to be alone" so long, and at The

experienced no visible difficulty. Things
moved smilingly along-Mr. Fry lived
happily with his wife and the rest of
mankind. But alas! how short lived are
