gets Married and the other does not.
Mr.. Lloyd, highly respectable farmer Of
"lckiiffe, arrived in this city last evening in an
excited state of mind. He sought out Marshal
uaiagher and told him that his two daughters
ana named respectively Chauncey and Watson
Lewis. MIR. Lloyd said he thought they were
in this city. The Marshal put on his seven
ieague~b boots and commenced walking rapidly
around the city. He found the enterprisinp
parties at last, at the Franklin House, on Pearl
street, Watson Lewis had already married one
81 the sisters and retired for the night. Chauu-
cey Lewis was TO marry the other sister when
the Marshal appeared and took him and his in
tended to the police station. Locking Chaun-
cey Lewis up in the wstch house, Mr.. LLOYD
took his daughter to the Commercial House
aud locked her up in a room.
Mr.. Lloyd, in addition to being an extensive
and hourishing farmer, keeps . tavern at Wick
life, which is very favorably known through
out this section. 1t is located near the Lake
Griffith, was burned some wears since. Mr..
l.. owns some four hundred and Fifty acres of
land in Wickliffe. and is quite wealthy. HIS
daughters are named Mary and Laura. Mary
is about twenty years old and Laura atou, six
teen. They are splendid looking girls, and are
fashionably and richly dressed. They are both
well educated, having enjoyed superior advan-
tages in this respect
The Lewis brothers arc uncou.h. uueducated
and overgrown specimens of humanity, and can
neither read nor write. They hired out to Mr..
Lloyd some six months ago. He paid Watson,
the oldest one, $l3, and Chauncey $40 month.
Chaunccy Lewis. the young man who didn't get
married, and who passed the night in the watch
house. is very sleepy and stupid appearing
Young man. We doubt if he knows enough to
exercise the sagacity Of common Shaghai
chicken, and go under cover when it rains. He
was released this morning at the suggestion of
Mr.. Lloyd, and requested to "scoot," which he
hastily did. He promised, with tears in his
eyes, never to come within ten miles Of Wick
life. The married brother, of course, cannot
be interiered with.
The parties eloped at about eleven o'clock on
Monday night, and were not missed till yesterday
The brothers hired horse and buggy
At Wioughby, and went to Mr. Lloyd's house,
where the girls were awaiting them with their
trunks all packed The girls left the house
and got into the buggy. and the
parties moved slowly towards Cleveland. One
Of the brothers walked AL the way here, ia dis.
lance Of about sixteen miles, and the other
rode and drove. Arriving here, they stepped
a, the Commercial House. In the evening
Justice was called in, and Watson and Mary
were married. Chauncey and Laura concluded
to postpone being united until this morning,
which conclusion fortunately, enabled Mr.. Lloyd
to prevent the ceremony. The parties all
moved from the Commercial to the Franklin,
where they were found as above stated.
This is the most remarkable case of elopement
that we ever heard of. 1t utterly eclipses the
Boxer and Dean case. What two handsome
and cultivated girls, as the Misses Lloyd, GER
tainly were, could find to admire in two such
fellows as the Lewis brothers, is more than We
can imagine. Mr. Lloyd aud His wife are over
whslmed with grief by this inex plicable conduct
