A YOUNG GIRL STOLEN FROM HER PA
RENTS BY WOMAN'S RIGHTS DISCIPLINE.
An extraordinary abduction case has lust been
brought to light, the cause of which as yet
remains 4 mystery.
Mr.. William Parker, conductor on the Cleve-
land and Toledo Railroad, resides at No. 26 Onta.
rio street. and has a daughter, Anne Marie, about
fifteen years of age. Lately she received an inv-
tation from uncle in Detroit to go to that place
and attend school there.
On Wednesday her father told her she might ac-
cept the invitation, and she went up stairs with
the ostensbe purpose of writing to her uncle
About eleven, A NJ, on that day she left the house.
and shortly afterwards called at Capt. Barrows'
and inquired for niece of his, with whom she
was acquainted This young lady was not at home
and Miss Parker left there, after which nothing
was or heard of her by her friends. Inquiries
were made for her among her former schoolmates,
but without avail Information was given last
evening to the police of her disappearance. 1t was
supposed most probable that she had been enticed
into some house of fame and forcibly detained
The members of the police were instructed to make
search for her in all the houses of i'll reputa upon
their several beats, which was done without sue
cess.
This morning officer WIlrath obtained informa-
ton that the girl was at the house of Mrs. SaxtOn,
IN East Cleveland. In company with Mr.. Parker
met lady in a buggy, accompanied by little
girl, which proved to be Miss Parker, but so dis
gused that she was not recognized. On arriving
at the house of Mrs. Saxton, thorough search
was made, but no traces of the girl could be found.
Mrs. SaXtOn said that girl, whose name she did
not know, came there day or two since and left
the next day. After some other stories, she said
that Mr.. Parker had abused his child, and that if
she (Mrs. 5. knew where the girl was she would
not tell him. 1t was discovered through some
other persons in the house that Miss =. had been
secreted in the house, but had been taken away
this morning 1t was then learned that the girl in
the buggy the one the officer was in search Of
The officer and Mr. p. then turned around,
and drove to the house of the lady in whose charge
the girl had been taken off. She had just reached
home, but denied that she had got the girl and at
first stated that she had not brought her from Mrs.
SaXtOn's, but afterwards admitted it,
Mrs. Saxton is represented to be believer in
Woman's Rights doctrines, and, it is said, takes
every occasion-in season and out of season-to
preach her belief She told the officer this morn
ing that she would assist any fugitive from Oppres-
sion whether white or black, and claimed that the
girl had been ill-used by her parents. This the pa
rents strenuously deny and some perfectly reliable
persons, who know the family well, unite in the de-
NAL. Mrs. Parker has been in the greatest anguish
since the loss of her daughter, and is quite ill
from excitement
Nothing further could be done, and officer MIL
rah returned to the station when Marshal Craw
took the matter in hand and set out with the faith
er, for the house of Mrs. HILL in Oak Place, she be-
ing the person who took the girl from Mrs Saxton's
house.
After the above was in type we learn that Mar
shal Craw threatening to bring the force of the law
to bear upon the parties, Mrs. Hill consented to re-
turn the girl to her parents.
She persists in refusing to disclose its present hid
ing place. but promises that the girl shall be at the
house of her parents at five o'clock this afternoon
The cause of the abduction remains much mys-
terry ever.
ATTEMPTED ARREST AND ESCAPE OF CoPPGE-A few
days ago an officer from Virginia arrived at Des
Moines, Iowa, with a requisition from the Govern
or OF Virginia on the Governor of Iowa for the
body OF young Copple, brother of the one who was
executed at Charestown for participation in the
Harpers Ferry disturbance. Young Coppe, after
the arrest of his brother and John Brown. managed
to escape to Canada, but recently returned to his
home at Spring Grove, Iowa. Governor Kirk
wood on examining the Virginia officers papers,
stated that they informal and refused his war
rant. The officer then sought the aid of the United
States Marshal, but IN the meantime, friend of
COppe started on horseback to inform him of his
danger, and it is presumed he escaped before the
United States Marshal could reach his house. A
letter from Des Moines to the Chicago Tribune says
that eff the requsition had been made in com
pliance with the provisions of the law, Gov. Kirk
wood would have complied immediately"

stated that on the 29th of January, 184S Mr. Pres

hand wrote on it, 'TO go to the Library of Harvard
College after my death" More than eleven years
afterward, the Sd of June last, all of these vol
umes, with the exception of five, which could not
be found, were transferred to Gore Hail. They are
two hundred and eighty-two in number, compris-
ing five large volumes of manuscripts. They con-
stitute all that portion of Mr.. Prescot's library
which related exclusively to the reign of Ferdinand

best collection in the world. Mr.. Prescotts histo-
ry ofthe reign contains full photographed notices
of great part of the volumes.
