MONEY, LOVE, AND STRATEGY-A
FATHERS FRALTY AND A DAUGHTERS Co.
pIDITY.-The American House at Column
bus has for ten years past numbered among
its boarders a Mr.. D., a respectable gentle
man, some sixty years of age, whose wife
died some ten years ago, and who at pre-
sent has a daughter about twenty-six
years of age, who is, we learn, engaged to
be married.
Since the death Of his wife the old gen.
tleman, at times feeling lonely, has sought
the company Of a sprightly widow lady, a
Mrs. r., some forty years of age. The ill.,
timacy between the two giving promise OF
matrimony, the daughter became con-
cerned about the estate, she being about
to be married herself, and insisted on be-
coming sole heir to her fathers property,
some $4,000 in bonds. The old gentleman
gave her $4,000, and told her she ought
TO be satisfied with that amount. The
day after the above occurrence, Mrs. K.
went on visit to her relatives in Ken
lucky. The old gentleman for some time
wrote to and received letters from the
widow every day. Finally, however, they
became less frequent, and at last stopped
entirely. The old gentleman consequently
became gloomy, and thought he was to be
rejected by her whom he had loved so well.
The daughter, seeing the condition in
which her father was placed, determined
to break up the engagement.
Continuing in gloomy state, the old
gentleman was taken by his daughter and
some of his friends to the Insane Asylum
at Dayton, where the physicians, after an
examination, would not receive him. lie
was then brought to Longview Asylum,
near this city, but DR.. Langdon, the supe-
rintendcnt, also declined without ccrtiii-
cate from physician as to the insanity of
the old man. This was obtained from Day
ton, and the old gentleman was safely
domiciled within the walls of Longview.
In the mean time Mrs. r. returned to
Columbus, and was very much surprised at
hearing the course which affairs had taken.
She tracked Mr.. D. to Dayton, and thence
to this city, and found him in the asylum.
Mrs. X. engaged lawyer to look after
the matter, and after consultation DR..
Langdon gave it as his opinion that Mr.. d.
was more sick than insane.
He is still within the walls Of Longview,
and will, we understand, remain there until
his health is fully restored, and is attended
faithfully by Mrs. r. The daughter, we be-
lieve, is in Columbus.

gentleman of our town, that they are SO bu-
silly engaged attending to politics, they can't
find time to protect travellers. The Rev. r.
H. Phillips was in the Washington Cars with
some Ladies at Baltimore last Wednesday
night. Three nicely dressed men entered, one
seized his right arm and another his left,
while the third searched him, they then went
through the other passengers, and aed before
this police could be found. Fortunately Mr..
Phillips loss was small, but where were the
police? f

be all they may ever need, and that they will
