A Fair Bride Imprisoned by her
Father.

On Thursday last Deputy Sheriff Ryerson
was directed to proceed to the house OF Jos.
Fisher, corner of Graham Avenue and Va
ret street, Brooklyn, and serve writ OF ha
beas corpus, issued on Wednesday morning
by Judge Emott,at PougekeeDsie, command
ing the said Fisher to produce his daughter,
Anna Maria Dreamer, on Wednesday, the
9th inst The writ was served and proper
return made by the Deputy Sheriff. The
circumstances of the case are follows:
Mr.. Fisher is a well to do gentleman, pro-
prietor of grocery at the corner OF Graham
Avenue and Varet street, b. D., and exces-
sively fond OF cunning. Anna Maria is his
only child, aged about l6, and very pretty.
Some months since Mr.. Fisher went out on
one OF his periodical cunning excursions,
and at the solicitation of his daughter, took
her with him. The old gentleman hearing
OF fine sport in the neighbOrhood of Pough-
keepsie, thitherward bound his steps. Sc
lecting hotel at which to leave his daugh-
ter, be found one kept by Mr.. Dreamer, a
young man in moderate circumstances
While at this hotel, land while the old gentle.
man was in the woods pursuing game, the
young man Dreamer fell desperately in love
with Miss Fisher. The passion was recipro-
cal, and marriage wae proposed. This the
young lady thought very romantic, and &C
ceded to, but was fearful her father would
never consent. Time sped on, and no means
presented itself OF overcoming the fathers
dreaded objection. At last the day arrived
ON which the fair Anna must leave with her
father for home. TO act at once was the
only alternative, and at 10 O'Clock the twain
slipped out of the house and went to a
Squire, by whom the twain, were soon made
one.-Then back to the hotel they went, nor
disclosed the secret to the father. In few
hours Mrs. Dreamer and her doting father
were on their way home, and arrived safely
Mr.. Dreamer TOOK no steps to claim his bride
until two weeks since, when he disclosed the
fact of their marriage to MIR. Fisher, who
was very indignant thereat, and swore his
daughter should never live with her hus-
band. He detained her clothes from her
and would not permit her to leave ishouse
under any circumstances. Mr.. Dreamer
then applied to the law for redress, and the
result was the issuing OF the habeaS corpus
by Judge Emott. On Wednesday next the
examination takes place, when no doubt
much excitement will be caused in POugh-
keepsie.
. The Chocto,os. Far Yves correspon-
dent OF the Boston journal writes that the
Choctaws have a permanent fund of more
than 81 100000 in the hands of our govern
ment, including 100000 set apart for school
purposes. The interest is paid annually, af-
tording them a revenue OF 100000, which
meets all their governmental and education
al expenses, and obyiates the necessity of
taxes. There are ten emission" boarding
schools in the nation, at which, in addition
to the common and higher English branches,
the boys are systematically exercised at farm
labor, and the girls Initiated into the mani
fold mysteries OF housewifery. The Metho-
dists have charge of most these institutions,
but several are conducted by the Presbyteri-
ans. Some six hundred children are receiving
instruction in these schools.
