CipcfuHnti scandal.

From the Cinci nat EuqureEl
Several days since young maR named mos
Bushnell, well known In this city as the indeiat-
liable agent of O'Nei & Co., extensive coal
dealers at Pittsburg, Pa conceived the unfortu-
nate idea that he was enamored of dashlDg
widow. " hose moral status was far below the me
diccra of female excellence. She, IN TetiIrr,
dotted on Young Bushnell ,swhO clothed his chefe
qg,is in the costliest silks and jewelTy, ard
placed at Ler disposal money in abundance.
Bnshhell, who, fer 8 series Of years was the
faithful sgent Of O'Neil q Co, handling SIOO,-
coo at a time, and always accounting tor every
cent. now found that the demands of the gay
widow on his exchequer had reduced his purse
to a very low fraction. He therefore chose, OF
The alternative to lob his employers and pursue
a fast life, or conf inUe quiet, peaceful and hon
orsble vocation, the former, and pocketing the
sum Of $4,000 in cash, be took the destroyer OF
his god name and happiness and letE Tor Cal-
fornia via New York.
Al A'banv, Bushnell united himself with the
widow in wedlock, and there learned that detec-
tives were in pursuit of him. The newly we'd
ded pair with their ill-gotten gain, ret med to
Cansndaieua. where they separated-lhe vie
going to Cleveland, where she had relatives, and
fhe Unfortunate husband to such paris where he
would elude the vigilance Of his pursuers. ONell
| & Co receiving information that Bushnell had
sailed for California had dispatched officer Gra-
cey in pursuit, who arrived in New York on Fri
! day. and was to have sailed yesterday for San
/ Francisco This is indeed an unfortunate de,
struction Of a good reputation, which Bushnell
had established and enjoyed, by blinded and
precipitate worship at the shrine OF an unworthy
and disreputable female. Young Bushnell $
peaee of MUD is forever gone, and ne never car
! console hi inself that the woman fJr whom he
made so great c sacrifice was in any way worthy
thereof but that in his departure from the path
ofrecti.uds and virtue he has entailed upon him
self a miserable and uncoveted existence.
