SUPPOSED ABDUCTION OF Two You've
WOMEN "A METROPOLITAN PRocUREss IN
THE CouSTRY.-A short time ago, woman,
supposed to be procuress, resident in this
city, appeared in Springfield Clark County,
Ohio, and day or two afterward departed
suddenly, and has not since been heard from.
About the same time, a couple of girls, who
are quite pretty, and had heretofore been
respected, very mysteriously disappeared.
The female, who is notoriously bad, and is
regarded as pestilence wherever she is
known, was several times seen in their
company, and it is more than probable she
induced them to visit the metropolis, by ex--
travagant promises of employment, and
being here, will endeavor to accomplish
their ruin, and probably succeed in her
diabolical undertaking. The names of the
girls we suppress, from motives of delicacy,
but earnestly hope that the fears of their
friends may prove unfounded If they be
true, however, may the girls be saved from
the living tomb to which they have con-
signed themselves, by the prompt interfer-
ence Of the proper authorities.
