Love AND LIBEL.-An honest and in.

very good looking man, withal--

daughter Of Eve. residing in Steubenville,

have placed upon the merits of her lover,
we do not pretend to say-but as she has
corresponded with him by letter, we in

The lady is Of an excellent family, and
possessed Of large share of this worlds
goods. besides being amiable and attract.
i've. In a word, she would be a "fortune'
to any man. That she has admirers
nearer home, is apparent, from the fact
that, a few days since. her Pittsburgh
lover received communication from hel
own fair hands, informing him Of charges
of the grossest char acter, which had
been preferred against him by Steuben
villain, and requesting him to clear up
the matter. if possible.
The allegations of the rival lover (fol
so we must regard him are that our very
worthy Pittsburgh mechanic had beer
arrested in Waynesbdrg, with larg'
amount Of counterfeit money in his pos
session I! and, further, that he had beel
before one of our magistrates, upon
charge of having stolen two horses !
Quite sufficient, we imagine, to awaken
spirit Of investigation in the mind of tn
lady! She does not pretend to intimate
a belief'in the allegations, and we com
mend her frankness and good sense il
informing the injured party Of the gros
calumny. The magistrate, before whom
he should have been taken for horse.steal
