ELOPEMENT.
Leaving FOur Children aud a
Wife, With q Young Lady of
Bedford.

The people of Shelbyville and vicin-
ity,in the middle portion of this State,
are enjoying a 6rst-class elopement
sensation, the leading actors being of
the first families of that section.
The lady in the case is represented
as a rosy checked, fair complicated
person, who has fully arrived at years
Of discretion, being somewhere about
twenty. She was reared near Bell
Buckle, in Bedford county, and is an
orphan who received finished educa-
tion, and inherited ten thousand or
more dollars worth Of property from
her father, a gentleman some years
deceased.
Some time ago this lady went to
SheIbyville to teach school and became
an inmate Of the family of Mr.. 7. B.
Owens, prominent livery stable
keeper, with a wife aud four children,
and worth in property six or
eight thousand dollars. The
boarder and her landlord in
due time became very intimate friends
and recsutly hints began to circulate
that they we're somewhat imprudent
ia their conduct.
Within few days past the lady sold
her farm for half a dozen or more
thousands of dollars, and on Thursday
last was at Murfreesboro, Tenn,
where she met Mr.. Owens and they
left there together and arrived
here on Friday last, register
ing as Mr.. aud wife. On
Saturday last the Nashville World
contained the following special tele-
gram from Murfreesboro:
Quite a sensation was created in
our quiet little town yesterday after
noon, by the elopement of a charming
young lady Of one Of our sister cities
with married man of the same place.
AS both parties are connected with
the best families Of the neighborhood,
we will for their sake suppress for the
present their names.
It's further stated that the couple
left Murfreesboro on Thursday, with
tickets bought by Mr.. Owens for this
city direct. 1t was noticed by passen-
gers from Nashville, on the train to
this city on Friday last, that the
couple occupied one of the sleeping
car berths together, and from their
affectionate manner it was thought
thoy were a newly married pair. The
man is described as tall person, ap-
parently % or 80 years
of age, and without beard.
His companion possessed handsome
figure and seemed to be about twenty
years Of age. They remained at the
hotel here until yesterday morning,
when they left by the Louisville &
Nashville railway for some unknown
destination.
During their stay here they kept
very quiet, and appeared to have no
other business than to enjoy each
others society, and they created the
impression that they were a bridal
couple on their honeymoon tour. The
prominent social position occupied by
the pair in Shelbyville and the sur
rounding country has set all the gos-
sipers to going in the liveliest manner
imaginable. There had been consid-
erable talk in quiet way before, but
it eliminated into open air discussion
since the departurefrom Murfreesboro.

Some time, not long since, Hon. VIM.

length as to the advisabilityo Of making

1t had leaked out before and there was

of such change, and when he came
out in an article of more than column
fine print, in the Cincinnati CONNER

left. The summing up Of these letters

And as the night. with deepening shade,
Lowered above my brow,

When manhoods rays
Were brighter far than now,
The dying embers on the hearth
Gays out their pickering light,
As if to say.
This is the way
Thy life shall close in night.

Ger the blight Of prospects fair;
While demons laughed,
And eager quatfad

Through hclrs red hall an echo rang,
An echo lond and long,

In the night Of madness strong.
And there, within that sparkling glass,

This all mon own,
From zone to zone,
Yet millions drink and die.
