Mysterious Disappearance Mr.. John
Nisley, clerk to the county treasury at
Harrisburg, mysteriously disappeared
on Wednesday evening. He started to
the train to meet his wife who was ex-
pected home, but failed to meet her, and
has not been seen since. He was young
man of good habits, and as far as is
known his money matters are all correct.
1t is feared he has met with foul play.
A Milerstown Romance We think
there are few cases on record that are
so remarkable as one that occurred in
Millerstown last week. A willing bride
kept from her expectant husband, and
he young man in good circumstances,
and of good character, is an unusual
incident in this community. In this
case it seems the couple have been
separated several times, but the young
man knew he was right, and was bound
to win, while the young lady was de-
termined to be Wright no longer, and
has succeeded. The following letter
from our correspondent will give our
readers the full particulars.
MILLERsTowN, Perry Co., Pa,
November 22nd, 1877.
The curtain fell last night upon the
last act of one of the most startling
Melo-dramas ever enacted either on or
off the stage. / will endeavor to give
the readers of THE TIMES true and
impartial history of this more than eX-
traordinary case, and let them judge for
themselves.
Miss Emiline w. Wright, residing
here with her parents, made the ac-
quaintance of q young man named w.
H. Boos, then living in the neighboring
county of Juniata. This acquaintance
resulted as many have done before, and
will in probability again, they fell in
love with each other, and this followed
to its legitimate sequence found them
solemnly engaged to be married. This
was eleven years ago. Shortly after the
happy climax, the young man, with
Joy in his heart, and the strong pure love
of this tender hearted girl to nerve his
arm, followed the Star of Empire as he
hoped to WOO fortune in the far Vest
He prospered apace and kept up con-
slant and loving correspondence with
his Pennsylvania sweetheart. AT last
the time came when he concluded, with
her consent, that he would come from
his prairie lands and claim his bride.
Twice did he make the journey from
far off Omaha to this peaceful hamlet to
claim the hand of his willing inamorata,
and twice through the Vaccinations and
sinuosities of her family was he COM
PEELED to go back to his lonely hearth,
wifeless. Again they determined to
make the attempt, and for weeks the
young lady has been making her prepa-
rations for the all important event. But
again fate and her family interposed, and
when the gentleman arrived on Mon
day last (the wedding was to take place
on Tuesday evening", tired and travel
stained, he found that the bride had
mysteriously disappeared. BY this time
the indignation of the people here knew
no bounds. The position her family had
taken was the subject of severe and un-
reserved criticism.
The lady is about thirty years of age
and the possessor of some property, and
the citizens here very properly thought
she should be protected in her desire to
settle for life. Diligent search was made
for her, but with no success. The hour
for the ceremony arrived and the church
was crowded. The minister and groom
were in prompt attendance, but no bride.
In the meantime there was some shrewd
guessing done as to her whereabouts,
which resulted in two gentlemen taking
late train Tuesday night for Philadel-
phia, and yesterday about eleven O'Clock
the whole community was electrified by
telegram from them that they had the
young lady and were upon their way
home. Now the pluck of the good citi-
zens was put to test and nobly did it re-
spond. Every one knew that the fami-
ly would make determined effort to
capture the young lady at the train. The
foremost actor in the affair was her
brother, who is quite a prominent man
here, and has previously to this unhappy
matter bore a good share of the peoples
confidence. He is Superintendent of
the County Schools of this county and
a Professor in her Normal Schools.
When the train arrived the crowd was
large and earnest and they were resolved
to have fair play. The young lady and
her friends got off the train and the
triumphal procession moved away. The
dark and forbidding structure that spans
the Juniata was safely passed and the
bridge over the historic Pennsylvania
canal reached when the clash came. The
young lady's brothers were here in force
and made rush to capture her, but the
impetuous crowd swept them to one
side as If they didn't amount to much,
and tbpV didn't The vOunu ladV was
