A Case Of sbducti0n.

The Newark IN. j. Advertiser of last
evening has the following story:
considerable sensation has been pro-
duced by the alleged detention of a young
girl from this city in Roman Catholic In
stitution in New York. 1t seems that a
Young girl, about fifteen years old, named
Mary A. Smith, the daughter of Roman
Catholic parents, professed conversion in
the Franklin sire ct NJ. E. Church on the
evening of January Is. She was living at
the time in protestant family in Jefferson
street On the 2Sth of January she Joined
the South Market street Methodist Church
as a probationer, and often expressed fears
of violence from her own family, who, she
stated, had become greatly incensed at her
change of religious faith.
ION the 18th of March she left her place
Of residence upon an errand, and has not
been seen since. Upon investigation OF
the subject by her Methodist friends, 1t APP
pears thar her father informed her that one
of her cousins, an infant, whom she loved,
was at the point of death she went to see
it, but instead of dying child met priest,
by whom she was taken to convent in
New York, where it is alleged that she is
restrained of her liberty. and compelled to
labor and fast, with no probability of re-
lease unless she renounces her Protestant
faith, which she manifests no desire to do.
Such are the circumstances as they are re-
ported by those of her Protestant friends
who have become interested in the subject.
1t seems that her father, who is her natural
and legal guardian during her minority, is
the principal party concerned In the tram
saction, and the presence OF the priest
seems to imply that he consulted his usual
spiritual adviser in retaining his child to
his own faith"

A SAD SToRy.-In Portland. Maine.
few weeks ago, a young man named
Briggs, from Dover, blew out the gas
and jumped into bed. He was found
nearly dead some hours later. His
father and mother went from their
home to nurse him. The anxiety of
the father brought on fit of insanity,
in which he committed suicide by
nearly severing his head from his body
with pen-knife. The boy got better,
and the grief-stricken widow returned
home, but there he sank again, and a
few days since he too went over the
dark river, leaving his poor mother
childless and widow, alone in what
was, few weeks since, peaceful and
happy country home.

How THEY DO IT OUT WEST The Ne
braska City Press says that on Saturday
a week brace of its friends we're uni
ted in the bands of wedlock upon an
elevation known as RattlesIake Point,
In Lancaster county, mile or so from
and in full sight of the new Capitol of
the State. The event took place in
consequence of the failure of the cler-
gyman to make his appearance at the
brides house at the appointed time,
and le family and happy couple were
on their way to town in search OF an
other official, when they met the one
expected. They ''seized the present
moment" were united, and passed
through Nebraska City Monday to their
future home in Toledo, Ohio.

so,,s.,ioD on DeadertesI-
An exciting Chase by the Police
ne aYrest of The Gamblers and Setz-
ure Of their Effects.
Twenty-nine of the parties captured an
the raid on the faro banks we're fined in the
Police Court yesterday morning Of
them fifty dollars, others ten dollars, and
others Eve dollars, according TO rank, and
the property seized on Thursday night was
returned TO its owners, by order Of the Com
missioner. The cases Of a considerable
number we're continued until to-day. Hard
ly had the mates been disposed Of IN the
Police Couri, however, before State war
rants we're issued from the Office Of Justice
Brien for the re-arrest Of the whole party,
and the police at once began the work
Several roulette tables and other gaming
apparatus were seized, and policeman
was stationed at the door OF room in
McCarty's, corner Of Deaderick street and
Printers alley, TO guard the property there
until it could be removed.
This fresh attack reused the latent ire Of
the gamblers, and party of perhaps a
dozen, resolved that McCarly's property
should not be again mOlested, charged the
gubrd, who was compelled to surrender at
discretion, and the, room was quickly
emptied OF its contents. An express
wagon waiting on the street below received
them, and the driver, putting whip to his
horse, drove rapidly of, turning corner
and getting ont Of sight in an instant. An
immense crowd quickly gathered on Dead
erick street, the saloons and cigar stores
undergoing tremendous vOmit, and the
police coming down in force upon the
scene. An express wagon moving OH at
pretty lively rate, was seized upon, but
turned out TO be the wrong vehicle, and
was released. Then McCaFty and another
man were seen driving rapidly of in
buggy, and away flew the blue coats and
brass buttons after them, and a mounted
sergeant was at McCarty's house in about
ten minutes from the appearance OF the
buggy, getting there considerably in ad-
vance Of the great faro man.
When the buggy finally drove up, the
sergeant found il contained none of the
missing property, and having no search
warrant, he could not go through the house,
where the plumber really was. Before the
warrant could be had, the property had
been spirited away, and there was nothing
to indicate the direction it had taken.
The raid seems TO have been instituted
by the father of young man who had lost
considerable amounts in the various gamb-
ling houses, and the prosecution ID being
conducted with such Vigor, that the BUS
pension Of the faro banks will doubtless
continue for some time. 1t is understood
that complaints will again be entered
against the first one that shall be re-opened,
and a repetition of the scenes Of Thursday
night must follow. The parties re-arrested
yesterday will appear before Justice Brien
to-day, and will probably be bound over to
the Criminal Court
