frequently occurring events. OH last
Wednesday well dressed and out
wardly appearing gentleman by the
name Of John S. Scoville, in company
with lady arrived at the Davis House,
and registered himselfa as 'John S. SEQ
vile and Lady, Huron County, Ohio"
The girl passed as his wife, and they
rode out in fine buggy behind a pair
of fine horses, and enjoyed themselves
in the manner that the recently mar
ried generally do. The gentleman had
business in Attica and went to the town
saying that he would call for his lady
on his way back, which he did and re-
mained at the Davis House until Mon
day evening. In the evening they re
paired to the Theater. In the mean
time the father of the young lady y,whose
name is BisseH, becoming uneasy at
the long absence ofhis petted and only
child secretly dispatched a man to this
place to look after them. He found
them here, and learned that they were
passing themselves off as man and wife.
He at once, telegraphed to the girls
father who, procured a warrant for the
seducers arrest, and in company with
the sheriff of Huron County started for
Tifin, and arrived on Monday evening
The pair were still at the Theater when
he arrived. The arresting party qui-
etly waited for their appearance. as
they were still in blissful ignorance OF
the developments awaiting them.
Upon entering the sitting room Of
the Hotel the Sheriff stepped in and
presenting his bracelets to the gentle
man fitted them to his wrists, The
young lady at the, appearance Of her
father, conscience stricken and asham-
ed, as she well might be, sank. desbair-
ingly into a corner Of the room and-hid
her face in her hands. The facts of
Scoyille's villainous proceedings now
came out Itseems that he has wife
and two children living in New York
State. He has been boarding at Mr..
BisselPs house in New London, Huron
County, and engaged in the ''Patent
Right Business Of course. He had
played the ''nice young man the evil
dence Of which was his innocent man
ners and good clothes. After forging
the mans name and obtaining a supply
Of money, he borrowed his horses and
buggy and a sett Of single harness
which he left in Centerville, and upon
the pretenee of visiting friends left
with the girl on Monday, two weeks
ago, He managed to swindle the old
man out Of about $1,000. He acknoWl-
edged that he was-a married man after
arrest He was taken to Jail on Mon
day night upon the warrant, and was
conveyed to Huron county, for trial on
Tuesday, The father took his daugh-
ter home. The young lady is said to
be highly educated and beautiful. Her
parents griefwas great, and only the
presence of the Sheriff prevented bis
killing the scoundrel upon the spot
He is in good circumstances, and his
child was well cared. for.
There is q moral that is plain in this
too common event. There are young
ladies in this, and every other commu-
nifty, who may learn a lesson from this
girls experience, The disposition to
take up with adventurers is not un-
common Let him but dress well,
have good address, and hint at his re-
sources and the honest young men of
the neighborhood are discarded for the
recently daWned ne Plus ultra.
The young lady who permits the, IA
miliar approaches ofa stranger,no mat
ter what his apparant references are,
foRgets that ''the world is full Of
rogues." And the man who demands
more than polite courtesy in such ca
ses, is s'prima facia'' a scoundrel and
shonld be avoided. a<,- o1
