The tSTELLIdEScEE published, short time
ago, an account Of the disappearance OF a
daughter OF Vincent Hyder, OF. the lower
end Of this county. Now comes the sequel
to the brief notice. Mr.. Hyder. who is n
farmer of franklin district, had in his EN-.
ploy one John Mason, married man, and
the father Of three children. Mason is about
% years Of age, and anything but progresses.

or address ltappears, however, that through
one Of the uneI plainable whims OF female
nature, Mr.. Hyder's daughter, who is said to
be uncommonly handsome, vivacious md

to such an extent as to determine
10 give up parents, honor, virtue and
everything else that woman holds dear and
sacred and follow him bliniIy wherever he
chose 10 lead. Your correspondent visited
Mason ID Jail here yesterday evening, and
found him not only willing but extremely
anxious to relate the disgusting particulars
OF the disgraceful laison. II the slightest
reliance can be placed in Mason's story OF
the affair, the girl is entirely in fault, pri.
marily, and all through to the final ending
in Doddridge county, where they were over.

clares that he tried every means in his power

and that unless he would so away with her,

children, refusing even when he appealed 10

neighborhood, they concealed themselves
until danger of recognition was past, and
sgain travelled on, walking nearly ull night
and arriving at Pine Fork Ia Wetz.l county,
where they stopped, remained until morning,
and got breakfast. The girl here represented
that Mason was single man, and that they
were clipping together. II,
Arriving at point in D0ddridge county
on the following Wednesday, they concluded
to halt. They were, and had been ever since
the second day, representing themselves MS

had arranged to so TO work, when Jason

The illppancy with which the fellow speaks
Of the affair, and Of the hear,less deseriion Of
