me town Of AshbuFnham, Mass, has been
ment, which took place on Friday Of last veef.
It appesrs that soma eight years ago Ellen II.
only daughter Of Mr.. Samuel Barrett, = yery
respectable citizen, aud for a quarter Of cen
tury Postmaster Of that town, now deceased.
married Rev. Mr.. Root, Congregational min.
lister, then settled in Williamsburg, Nass. They
subsequently removed to Springfield, Ohio,
where Nz. Root Is now settled, aud where The
present unhappy troubles had their beginning.
Mrs. Root some time since formed IN attach
ment for gentleman Of that place, the hus-
band OF devoted wife, the father OF fiye chill
dren, member and one Of the pillars Of her
husbands church. How long this attachment
had continued does not appenr.; but about three
weeks age The guilty parties secretly left
Springfield and came to Massachusetts TO-.
gether.
The wonau, desiring to see her friends in this
co1nsry before she Left them forever, came to
Ashburnhan. while her companion went to
tlfchburg- Suspicion rested on tho parties
there, and accounts came from Ohio that all
was not right On Friday Of last week he hired
horse Of Ti1ton / Pierce, in Lenipster, in
tending to carry the lady to Fischburg and take
the cars for the South. !.
Disappointed as to the time, they drove on to
Ne" Hampshire, leaving the team at Thornton 5
Ferry, and pursued their way for the North.
0lhceF "etheibee OF Ashburuhan, as soon as
the Facts became known, started in pursuit,
found the deserted team at Nashua, and the fa
gitires at Montreal. The authorities Of Non
t1eal refused to gl.e up the man On the charge
OF larcenT-the only charge which could be
sustained against him-and the officer WAS COM
PEELED to return alone.
The man, who had giren various names, was
reKsstered at Montreal as ~. ". Brochaw.' -
His age IL about forty y-one years, and be claims
TO be man Of good reputation, high social po-
sit'on, And excellent business connections, all
infatuatiou.
Mrs. Root. who is about thirty years Of age,
complained bitterly Of the unhappness Of her
marriage relations, and declared her determined
purpose to abandon husband, friends, honor
everloyed. Her friends in Ashburnham stand
very high in the estimation Of TINT community,
and are deeply griesed By the infatustion o.
which she has become the TOO willing victim.
