able-looking gentleman arrived here from Phla-
delphia in search of his married daughter, who
had run away from that city (taking her babe.
thirteen months old. with her. } in company with
deserter from the US. ship Reliance, named

known his GRAND to the police, stating that his
daughter, Mrs. Sarah Marwood had been per-
suaded by this man Tyson, during the absence
OF her husband, John Marwood. to sell off her
household effects and elOpe with him. This had
all been done without his knowledge, and his
goods had been sacrificed for little or nothing to
afford them means to leave the city, which was
accomplished last Saturday. and he had started
IN pursuit as soon as he learned the direction they
had taken. He stated that Tyson was sailor
on the Saratoga and had been transferred to
the Reliance and that the LIST of June last while
at NorfO&S Va, he had obtained leave of absence
for one week to be present at the funeral of his
sister. in Philadelphia. Instead of returning to
his ship. he had been loafng about in his neigh
borhood-Master street, in the northern part Of
| that city-and had succeeded in persuading Mrs.
| Marwood to elOpe with him.

ana That the landlady was inclined to screen
them from detection, left Policeman Smoot to
keep an eye on the premises, while they re-
turned to seek for the father of the woman to
| notify him.
ESCAPE OF TYSON.
When they returned to the house Officer SmoOt
told them that very after they had left Tyson

escape. The old gentleman finally was admitted
to an interview with his daughter. who persist

fused to accept Of his offer of house and lot

from which the deserter has escaped leaves to
