Some five years since beautiful and

State, occupied a high position both so.

and intimated that she was anxious and
willing to take care of herself The IA
Their, who was an austere man, given very
much, it is said, to severity in his own
family, attempted to dissuade her from
her purpose, and even threatened her if
she carried out her determination. This
did not affect her plans, and, with the as
sistance OF one of her brothers, she left
home, and until last summer her friends
have known nothing of her whereabouts.
Some years after her dis appearance, the
father was taken sick and died, leaving
considerable property, part of which was
left to the absent one; but all attempts OH
the part of her friends to find her place Of
residence were unavaiIinr, and she was
given up as dead. A few months after this

her appearance in her native village, and

Their, and left again without giving any in
formation as to the place of her destina-
ton. Since that time the suspicious of
the family have been awakened by a re-
port that she had been the victim Of Sc
Guction by somewhat noted teacher of
music, who was formerly employed in
that vicinity, and renewed efforts were
made by her relatives to learn the place
of her concealment, but without success
Nothing could be gained concerning her,
except that she lived in the vicinity Of
Boston, under an assumed name, until
last week, when information was received
that the girl in question had just died at
South Boston, and that her remains were
subject to the demands of her friends. who
Immediately took measures to remove
them to her native town, and also to learn
the sad story connected with her death.
1t appears that the winter previous to
her disappearance, she made the acquaint-
ance of this music teacher, and being fine
musician herself, soon became intimate
with him. And being represented as
single man, she very soon became attach
ed to him, and, rs the sequel shows, was
disgraced. She was too proud to tell her
troubles, and rather than submit to public
disgrace consented to leave her home, as
she supposed to become wife. A few
months after her disappearance it appears
she became mother, and has since lived
in secluson at South Boston, under the
name Of Mrs. Jones wife of George Jones
Of Boston. The villain who had accom-
plished her ruin, and who was, at that
time clerk in that city, WAS a married
man and supported a wife in Massachusetts,
in tie vicinity Of Springfield.
After accomplishing her ruin he visited
her seldom, until the death of her father,
when, knowing he had property, and sup
posing, Of course, that she was entitled to
her share, again paid her frequent visits,
until lie persuaded her to return home and
secure her money, promising then to give
her splendid house in the Vicinity, where
he was soon TO remove. She like q be.

her estate, and returned again to her Sc

and has scarcely visited her since. Her
desertion, by one she supposed to be true
to her, operated upon her health and end

for its victim. She died on Tuesday, and
on Saturday her remains, accompanied by
an interesting boy four years of age, were
brought once more to her native village.
A few days previous to her death she
called some of the members of the house.
where she boarded, to her room and re-
quested them to burn papers in her pos
session at once, in her presence, in order
to prevent, if possible, any facts of her fate
from ever reaching her friends, whom she
had disgrace1. This was done and but
for an old Album, which contained many
good wishes from her former school, mates
with her own true name and place of res
idence upon the margin Of the book, her
history would never have been known. Her
child she gave to Catholic school at
South Boston, and disposed of her body to
the same parties and died with the name
of him who had so cruelty wronged her
upon her lips. Her funeral was largely
attended Sunday afternoon. Her seducer
