The Meaphis Enquirer of the 18th inst, contains
the following particulars Of a most remarkabl,
series Of Opponents
A few months since, Miss Hannah Bond, daughter
Of Col. Eaton Bond. very wealthy planter of Den
mark in this State went on q visit to her relatives
in Springfield Mississippi While there she became
acquainted with Young gentleman named j. g.
Simmons, who was staying in the vicinity. Their
intimate acquaintance soon grew into strong friend
ship which IN time rpened into love- resulting IN an
engagements Miss Bond being but a schoolgirl,
young and inexperienced, her friends undertook to
advise her, and 70 break the engagement, which
was known to exist between the lovers. But to no
effect, their admonitions and opposition to the ALI
ance only famed the flame into a blaze, and an
elOpemeut was the consequence. They in company
with party Of young ladies and gentlemen, came
TO this city Thursday night last put up at the WOr-
sham House, from whence they went to Raleigh the
following day. married and returned TO the city
During the evening young man named Bloom en-
gagged as clerk in Messrs. Newman & Roses drug
store. who had formerly been suItOr for the hand
Of the Young lady, visited the happy couple at the
hotel, and there, together with the whole party,
made an engagement to attend the theatre at night
which they did.
At the close Of the performance they all returned
20 the hotel where they were engaged in converse
ton until nearly 1 o'clock.
Mr.. Simmons having occasion for moment to
leave the room, Mr.. Bloom aYailed himself Of the
opportunity and requested an interview with the
bride in an an adjoining room. She readily COM
piled with Che request ard they left The parlOr to-
gether. Nothing was suspected by the party until
considerable time had elapsed, AMI they not re-
turning, search was instituted, but nothing could
be found Of either Of them Mr.. Simmons soon az
ter returned, and further search was made, but to
no effect, when on inquiry at the Office 10 the as
constituent of all they were informed that the
couple had left the hotel and hurredlv driven off IN
hack II was then that the truth of the faithless-
ness Of the bride rushed upon them and the before
unsupported close conversation and exchange of bill
lets at the theatre was explained They had fed
together and left the cOnfding husband to spend
the remainder Of the night in sleepless agony,
amounting well nigl. to distraction.
The fore part of the d yesterday was spent in
ende8voring 70 find the whereabouts of the fugi-
tives, but without success, and nothing was known
Of them until about five O'Clock. when letter was
received from Mrs. Simmons, directed TO her de-
serted husband repenting and pleading for his for
giveness. Another letter received, and soon
after the faithless one herself came, when a most
affecting scene followed. Deceived aud intoxicated
bv the meshes so effectuallv thrown around her
she had been led astray only TO be deserted and left
to return repentant and lmplOring for mercy. Her
friends had left before her return, with feelings Of
sadness. and with them the trip which promised
much Joy and happiness to all ended in feelings
akin to despair. The couple were left alone for the
remainder OF the day, and last evening we ascer-
tanned reconciliation had been brought about and
the marriage which has been so closely followed by
sorrow. may yet terminate happily. We sincerely
hope that il NAV. What has become Of Bloom 1t is
impossible to assert or where they spent the night
together; but he has evidently left, and doubtless
