Rev. NJ Bedell, a minister OF Bsallsvil lie,
Monroe county, who has been endeavOring
to lead the people in the paths OF rectitude
and virtue, ostenSibly, has jumped the
fence and left the lambs without leader
so to speak. 1t seems that the minister has
grown tired of his home his wife and chill
dren, and like a hayward youth, sought
pastures and pleasures new. A Miss Bessie
Arnold, charming young girl OF 10 or 10
years of age has been living with the min
lister and his family, and it is alleged that
u particular fondncss sprang up between
the minister and the girl Not
long ago the girl LETT to pay a
visit To her mother in Washington,
Pa. She remained there for some days and
then wrote that she would be home last
Tuesday. The reverend fraud, if the story
is true, left his home and went to meet the
girl, since which time nothing is known of
them, and the whele neighborhood is torn
up over the supposed elopement OF the
guilty pair. 1t is alleged that they have
long been on too intimate terms, and too
frequent application of the harmless pasto-
raj kiss has at last got the old man and the
girl into trouble. Should they be found
soon the people of Beallsville will make it
interesting for Bedell, but the girl has the
sympathy of great many on account OF
her youth.
