An account the recent eIopemeut of
wife has been extensively copied from
the Cincinnati press. As the husband
has reclaimed his wife. and child
and, with them, lately passed through
this city, and as the parties are exten-
sivcly known, we have taken particu-
lar pains to ascertain the facts of the case,
and Il history of the elopAmeut. We arc
personally acquainted with the husband
and wife, and met the reverend Lothario
in New York more than once. The hus-
| band is IL promising young member of the
| New York bar, known somewhat in bellies
lettrss, and most respectfully connected
there, ns is also his wife. He wss form

connected with the District Attorneys Of
! fee, under Hon Geo. McKeon, of New
York. They are both young and were
married in April 1857: The result of the
union was bright, intelligent little girl
now two years old.
About TWO years ago they were residing

General Theological Seminary, where this
Monro was then n stndent of theology. He
there made the acquaintance of the la
dy.
Monro being q man Of some intellect,
occupying respectahleposition in society
and looked upon as II man of morality, the
husband deemed the cultivation OF his
acquaintance quite desirable. An inti-
macy began, and continued between them
until this unfortunate affair. MOnro en-
ioyed the husbands perfect cfsna extent as

Abont this time one of those occasional
