AN ELoPEMENT.-An elopement which be-
gan its career in this city and terminated
somewhere beyond the Ohio, has created
quite iutter in high life below stairs within
the last few days.
One OF our citizens, who is an officer in the
Rock City Guards, and is engaged in the
hardware business on the Public Square, not
far from Deaderick street, went to the Springs
last week with his family. The chief engi-
neer OF the cooking department of this gen.
tleman's private establishment, was afflicted,
1t seems, with a tender attachment for col
Ored gentleman of the name of GEO. ARM
STRONG who followed the profession of "a barber
under the Sewanee House on College street,
and who, 1t further seems, was sick a-bed
with reciprocal sentiment. Feeling that the
only antidOte to their sufferings was an elope-
ment. they turned out last Saturday and got
up one Going down to the Depot of the Lou
isville and Nashville Railroad, GEORGE rep
resented the sample ofmourning calico ne had
with him as his sister, and the two were suf-
fered to go on to Louisville. Their flight
was soon discovered, and a telegraphic dis
patch was sent after them; but it was too
late. The fugitives had gone on to Cincin-
mali, and were safely sheltered beneath the
vine and fg-tree of the Abolitionists, where
it is both difficult and expensive to modest or
make them afraid.
''F1y to the desert, fly with me;
Our Arab tents are rut e for thee,
Bet OH the choice what heart can doubt
or tents with love, or thrones without?''
We learn that the owner of the girl has
notified the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company that she was cash article,
and that they must pay him her market value.
DARING BURGLARY.-On Sunday night last
the house of Mr.. F. J. BIrTERLIcH, gun-maker,
who lives on Deaderick street, between Cher
ry street and the Public Square, was entered
and robbed of hundred and seventy or
eighty dollars. Mr.. BITTERLICH occupies two
rooms up stairs as a residence. He went to
bed Sunday night, leaving his pantaloons, in
the pocket of which was his money, on
chair near the head of the bed. The weather
being very warm, the back window was left
open, and through this, by means of ladder,
the thief entered and effected the robbery.
The job was done very cleyerly, or either Mr..
or Mrs. B. would have been awakened, when
detection would have been inevitable, as the
moon was shining very brightly at the time.
There were two pocket-books containing
money, one of them having bills in it, and
the other small amount of silver-the for
mer was carried away-tbe latter was emp
tied of its contents and left behind Mr.. BIS
watch was hanging against the wall, and
there was purse, containing four or five dol
lars. lying on a table-these were not taken.
Mr.. BITTERLICH removed to this city from
Memphis few weeks since, and has opened
a shop on Deaderick street. He is most
skillful workman, the guns and pistols of his
manufacture being greatly admired and
much sought after; and by his gentlemanly
and uuobtruSiye manners he has won the es-
TEEN of all with whom he has come in con-
tact. We trust the burglar will be discov-
cred, and that Mr.. B. will recover his money.
