FoND OF WDows.-The Dayton (0hio) Journal
says: We heard recently some particulars in re-
gard to the proceedings of a certain Joseph Hemp
hill. HemphiIl, under compusion and to avoid i'm
prisonment, married in DAYTON on the Sd of Sep
TENDER last widow whom he had deceived and
ruined, and Immediately after the ceremony took
her to the Lafayette House, where he left her and
did not return, and she has never seen him SINCE
At the time chat this affair of his was in pro-
gress, he had made arrangements to marry another
widow, whom he had pursuaded to meet him at
Springfield, the very day after he was married in
Dayton, under the circumstances above named
The friends of his second foncee, however, dis
coveded the purpose, and prevented the consumma-
ton.
He was counting third widow living in DAYTON,
and finally gained her consent to marry him. He
persuaded her to let him have about $50 in money
which she had saved, on the pretence of making
preparation for the nuptias and assuring her that
he had just bought farm near Dayton; he ran off
with her money after he was married to the first
named.
1t is well understood that two young women
living in Dayton and vicinity, were the objects of
his attentions, and the recpientssof his promise to
marry.
Since his departure, letters have been received
detailing the receptions in other places. One in
stance is given of his engagement to lady who
made all preparations for the marriage, the day
fixed, the company assembled, but the expected
bridegroom turned up missing. Another instance
Is authenticated by letter of his engagement to an
other woman living some distance from here-mak-
ing in al,seven who have suffered from his machna-
tiOns.
Hemphill is about forty years of age, near six
feet high, heavy set, and dark complexion. He had
been living in the vicinity of Harshmansville for
about two years. When last heard from he was at
