From the BUFFALO Herald, July "a.
While taking q stroll on Delaware street,
last Sunday evening, we became n willing
listener to a conversation carried on among
a party of young Observation-Disclosures
the old saying that Customers never hear
any good of themselves"-on one of thom be
ing engaged at the time in giving her com
panions an a~ccountof how one Of her most
intimate a-cqunintauces, who had been her
companion ut boarding school, had been
induced by an actor, who recently
played an engagement in this city, TO elope
with him. From this we we're able TO give
some particulars of the affair, and give
them for tho benefit of the readers of tho
Herald.
IL appears that, during tho holidays, the
young lady so prominently connected with
his incident, whom we will call Nelly
(sweet namel, came home from school, and
had Just arrived NJ the age of "sweet six
teen.' From what we can learn, she was
n beautiful creature, such q ono ns n young
man Is liko TO fan "dead in love- with be-
fore he has seen her five minutes. Well,
the second night after her arrival hero, she
went to the theatre, and there saw the &C.
tor, who was to be so closely connected
with her future destiny We will call him
Harry Stanforth- our. readers will please
bear in mind th0tthese names are fictitious.
On The evening in question, Harry was play

her bosom friend but an introduction to
the charming Harry. Her desires wore
gratiiiod, and then, oh, she was i'm such
ecstaey Time passed on; walks were
taken, parties were attended, and, In fact,
Harry became very attentive, and IL seemed
to be his greatest desire To bask IN tho sum
light Of her smiles. He Ind COINED the
confidence of Mr.. and Mrs. -, who
thought hat he was such n nice young
man; but better for them If some kind
friend had been able TO make them cog

wero hanging over thom-the signals OF n
terrible storm that would soon break over
their heads, and cast a gloom of sadness
over their family circle. Harry, after q while,
declared his love for Molly, and she recipro-
Gated. He wanted her to run away, and
get married.. She hesitated and wanted
him TO ask hef parents consent. But well
he knew that such q boon would not be
grantcdto him by them for they were
wealthy -millionarcs, and would never
think of suco Il thing. He presented the
case to the fair Nellie, and finally she con-
sented. One fine morning the father and
mother arose from their beds to find their
daughter had left her home. Every effort
WAS made to gain some trace of them, but
in vain. This occurred recently. Last
