AN ELoPEMENr.--Some ten or twelve days
ago young civil engineer Of this city had a
tracas in bar room with two brothers of \
young lady Of Mobile with whom the engineer
mad arranged maltels rs far towards their bliss
full union AS to have gotten the young lady TO
enpe to this city from her former home, both
taking quarters here at the house OF some friend,
preparatory to the proposed consummatou oi
their nuptas.
This, rs may naturally be supposed, was the
result of some rather unciyIl engineering on
the part of the lovers towards the parents and
brothers Of the young lady, and WAS not effec-
ted without the active cooperation Of the fair
young prize, who had SO far eluded home Wig
lance AS to meet her lover according to ap-
pointmrnt, in the face of the direst threats to
nim by her brothers, but without their knoul.
