GIRL FOR NINE MONTHS.
Correspo-dence o. lie New York Herald.

Mliier-burgh, in this county, in the early
part OF the present year, has been lodged in
jail in this county, charged with the abduc-
ton, seduction and subsequent inhuman
treatment of girl, the daughter Of WI
liam Miller, proprietor Of the hotel in the
above village. Stevenson was hired by
Miller aS his hOstler soon after he appeared
in MillerSburgh; and although he was full
blooded specimen Of his race, with brutal
features and massive frame. owing to the
possession Of singular gifts Of Wit and hu-
NOR and great musical ability, he became
quite fay0rite IN the neishbUrhood. Pris-
ella Miller, aged II years, was an excep
ton to the general ru.e, however, and early
formed great aversion to the negro. The
gIri, while possessing remarkable a:trac-
tons, was not intellectually strong, owing
to some earl y afliction. Stevenson, noticing
that She stunned him and plainly expressed
dislike to him, lost no opportunity to OBJ
trude himself on her attention. This cx-
cited nothing more than passing comment in
the family, and all ridicuiei Priscilla iJr her
aversion TO the hostler
About February !, last, the girl started To
walk to = neighbarS, about mile distant,
ON an erraud. 1t was quite late in the day
when she started, but there was abundant
time for her 10 walk the distance and return
