The Democrat of January 10th contain
ed the following personal:
"Mr. Henry Mallory. who left here
some fifteen months ago with the Twin
Bed Spring Company, was in the city this
week He was married a shore time ago
TO popular young lady Of Washington.
Ind and will bring her here to reside in
few days
The announcement of Mr.. Mallory's
marriage to a handsome, cultivated and
wealthy young lady caused considerable
talk among his acquaintan ces here, as il
was well known to them that be was il
literate and without means. But he was
possessed of an unusually handsome face
and figure, and more cheek than is usually
allotted to the young men who spring up
in the moral little city OF Mayheld, and
TO this was attributed bis success in the
matrimonial market. Later information,
in the form of letter from his wife
guardian, leads us to believe that some
trivial mistakes made by Henry in stating
his assets, etc., assisted him greatly in
winning this fair young maiden of Wash
ington. Below is the letter:
WAsHISGreS, DAvIEss Co, IND, !

As almost every one here knows, none of
the statements made by Mallory, rs rep
resented n the above letter, are true. He
had no lawsuit here, no money in the
bank, no uncle, and never owned any
property. During his residence here he
was employed most OF the time as hestler
in some some one of the livery stables.
When here last he exhibited his wifes
picture-a handsome and intelligent look
ing lady-and talked freely of her wealth,
etc. He left here, saying he would re-
turn in n few days, with his wife, and 60
into business, but where he went is not
known.
