Deaoument ola Runaway Affair.

Many of our readers Of this city who were
acquainted with the parties concerned, will
remember the runaway affair which occur
red at Maiden last fall, ia which Young
lady of edu cation and high socjsi position,
named Miss Maggie Deherty was No far led
astray as to elope with married man, oRe
DR.. Carrier, who had occupied the position
offsmily physician, and who took advantage
OF his facilities to ingratiate himself into her
favor while personatina the most friendly
relations with the family. The pair went to
Illinoie, where the doctor settled and endeav-
ed upon them from the mere disparity of
their personal appearance and general Con.
duct, and the confidence of the public was
with held to such an extent that they were
very much reduced in circumstances, and at
times actually suffered from want. TRe To-
eality Of their sojourn finally became known
to the deserted wife, who had been lett at
Maiden, and she went thither some weeks
since, causing the immediate arrest of her
faiehless husband on the charge OF adultery.
With kindly feeling toward the deluded
young lady, she gave her good advice, which
led to q correspondence between herself and
her parents, and affected reconciliation. ~
The result of the matter was, that Bliss
Doherty returned to her parents, arriving
at home yesterday morning aud the recreaut
william who had caused her rain suffered to
go at large by the indignant and uncompro-
missing wife, who very properly refused
any Communication with him. She intends
to return to her relatives in Scotland, tax

A DREaRr PtorUHE.-A Texas traveller
writes dolsfully of the prairies of that State.
Hear him:
Preached the prsiries-those grand, gloomy
and peculiar meadows, in the midst of hiss.
ing Rorther. had heard of these ,chilling
blasts and their polar terrors, but never, in
the widest fights of the imagination, bad
conceived tho intensity of their terrible
might. Dark, snowy clouds overhanging a
blackened waste as far as the eye could
reach; swarms OF wild water fowl, screaming
and whirling in the murky atmosphere; the
roaring, freezing tornado that swept across
the desolate heath, were all objects of I'M
bounded terror to one who looked upon them
for the first time. Not living thing was
to be seen, save an intariated bull that dash
ed madly over the plain in search of protec-
ton in the nearest timber. Many cattle
were frozen to death; and being advised at a
hut by a ragged woman not to travel during
the norther, hauled up at IL o'clock, and
stayed until the cold was over. Two days
passed, and my horse seemed about to die Of
cold and insufficient food. The women were
kind and obliging, and did all in their power
to make me comiortable-bat all to no pur-
pose; l was freezing all the time. The land
is here black as tar, and immensely rich; no
timber--not even shrub to break the wes-
ry monotony.

HORRIBLE MURDER One OF the Mest fiend-
ish murders was committed on the planta-
ten of Mrs. Sarah Morris, i've miles west OF
this place. on the Memphis and Cha rleston
Railroad, on Wednesday last, Oath inst, }
about 10 O'clock, A. Al. A youth, about
fourteen years Of age, son OF Mrs. Morris,
named Wiley F., had the manag ement of the
plantation, and attempted to correct a slave
named Jack who was ploug hing in the field.
The negro resisted the young man, and
struck him on the head with reck, knock
ing him down. Jack then ploughed round,
and on returning to the young man, discoy-
cred, from his groans, that he was still alive.
He then gave him blow on the head with a
club, and carried him short distance to a
dry we'll and threw him in Mediterranean
The young man beisg aissed, Mr.. Norris
sent the negro Jack into the " ell to look for
him, she having some suspicion of foul play.
The fiend acknowledged that he stood upon
the poor child's body and heard his groans
While in the we'll, bat returned nd said he
was not there. Soon after the negro made
his escape; but the neighbors pursued with
dogs and captured him. Decatur A|a.l

MAaaIEp IN CouRr.--The Luuisburg \.
CO. Eagle tells of a marriage that took place
in Louisburg last week, as follows;
"On Tuesday considerable excitement pre-
vailed In the Court-rOom--a woman by the
name of Abbott, and man by the name of
Askew, having begged money and procured
license, 'presented themselves and wanted
some of the Court to marry them. The Rev.
G. n. l.. Finch being applied to, consented,
aad there in open Court read the ceremony,
and pronounced them man and wife,, wben,
by the request Of some one standing by, the
bridegroom seized the bride and sslutcd her:
This brought down Ithe whole house, and
such laug Oh and slapping of hands we scarce
" ever saw or hears. The Bridegroom
took bis bride and marched out OF the court
house, and we have heard nothing OF them
since. They were certainly the hardest
cases that we ever saw get married. IL any
Of their offspring makes Webster or Clay,
We shall be disappointed.
