The Bucuafs Farmer says: "On Friday, Of
last week, a large and portly gentleman Of
African descent, named Silas Bryant, visit
ed our town, accompanied by white man,
who, from appearance, we took for police
officer from some city. It turned out that
the white man was detective from Nash
willie, and the negro a resident of the same
place. The object OF theirvisit wasto dis
cover the Abolitionist who had stolen the
wife of the sooty gentleman. They had
tracked the pair byhard work, to this coun-
ty, and on Friday moraing, the detective,
when strolling about, town, unexpectedly
came across one Jacob b. Heller, resident
OF Liberty itownship,l In this county and
who had recently returned from the army.
Heller, 1t seems, was accompanied by a port
ly, voluptuous looking female, OF rather
DARK complexion, whom the detective
at once discovered to be the wife of Bryant
the colered, gentlemen, accompanying
him. The. were about buying. turnt
ture to go to housekeeping. 1t seems
that when Heller returned accompanied
by his dusky beauty, he represented
her as q sperseeuted Union Southern
lady" of great reiinement, whom he had
married. OF course, the 'loyal" in the
neighborhood went into ecstacies over the
hero Heller and his, Southern bride. They

given them, they attended church, and ev-
erything went 'merry as marriage bell"
But, as the old adage has 1t, murder will
out" and the visit of the colored gentle
man from Nashville-who, by the way, is
as-black as the ace of spades-east o dark,
cloud over the hopes of Mr.. Heller. Ngi1U
1t seems that Tabitha .Jane-the name
of the wOman-left her husband and three
little piokaninnies at Nashville, with the
avowed intention of visiting some friends
in Memphis; but instead, she elopedywith
Heller, and came to Crawford county "
But upon seeing her colored husband,
Tabltha James old love tor him returned,
hnd her heart yearned for her children
She concluded to return with him to the
house she had made desolate; she, there
fore, forsook her white parafdoas A and
started back on Saturday morning. with her
lawful husband 10 Nashville, leaving Hell
lerSeither to hang HIMSELF hunt another
wench, or go somewhere and learntO be a
better man.
Before. leaving Bryant entered suit,
against Heller, M the Court Of Common
Pleas of Crawford county, for seducing his
wife, claiming damages in the sum OF ten
thousand dollars.
