Love is Mt the bottom Of almost every
mischief. Tho body Of n young girl,
ished out of the water NJ Chicago, and
brought here this morning to be in.
tered by her parents, illustrates this
fact in the Old way. Her name was
Nellie E. Dorset: She fell in love with
a George H. Burr, the travelling agent
of one Of our large drug houses. Barr
wanted her TO elope with him, and she
resisted his cntreaties for q long time.
But woman is weak aud confdiug, yon
know. After n time she fancied she
could not live without him, and rs her
father had forbidden him the house, she
concluded to fly with the man she
adorcd.
"wheu lovely woman ssOops to folly"
She finds, indeed, toe late that men
betray," for Nollie had no sooner gone of
with George than he refused to marry
her, as lie had promised, and she com.
mitted suicide. He abandoned her
when she implorei him TO fulfill his
pledge, and in her cloak pocket was
found, when she had drowned herself,
several letters, one OF which, addressed
to Burr, was very touching. She wrote?
" Dear George, it is not in anger write
to you now. have no curses to heap
upon you but only love and forgive
ness. Oh, George, if you had only
known how fervently, p~assionately |
loved you, you would not have deserted
me so cruelty. left my home, par
ents, everything for you, George, trust.
ing 10 your love. But | will moi re-
proach.y you. lam weary and shall soon
be at rest, and God, perhaps, will for
give the error Of poor girl"
If "George" has anything ticking
! about his vest besides a watch, this let
ter ought to make him feel, when he
looks in a mirror, as if he were contcm-
plating n confirmed scoundrel. The
moor girls remains, or what are said to
be her remains, are to be inferred TO-
morrow, and public curiosity will, prob
ably, carry \ crowd to the funeral.
Where Burr is nobody knows, but II
brother of tho suicide has resolved to
hunt him up if this side of Hades, nnd
MS he has purchased a splendid revolver,
we may, by and by, hear II report of his
proceedings.
1T WOULD Mt WASH.
That is not oil the naughty pranks
that Love has done, and made us OBJ
servers of the result. Yesterday the
officers of justice arrested a very nice
looking young fellow named Robert
James jackson, a "joviNl Briron." who
had n~bsconded from Al6ion's shores,
bringing with him TO this country y
dashing looking lady, the wife of one Of
his bosom friends She left n husband
and child behind her, in London, and,
{" all for love-" crossed the Atlantic
with Jackson. He left an irate papa
behind him, from whom he had stolen
Go, 900 to liquidate his travelling ex-
penses with. He wa tue cashier of II
large tea house in London, of which his
papa was the principal, aud stealing
some GO, 900, he gave it to his chere annie,
and sent her to this city, across the
raging sea-" in advance. Abstracting
5000 more, he followed her, and they
had II loving time of it when lie arrived.
As soon as the first transports Of their
affection subsidized, Jackson bought n
farm up the Hudson X yer, aud they re-
moved to it. He anne to town to buy n
yacht for their enjoyment on the waller,
aud who should see him bit n private
detective who knew him, and who hnd

"Your name is Jackson, SIR" said
the detective: elbow are you, Bob?
When did you come over?"
