LOUISVILLE.

Mr.. EDIToR-We heartily coincide
with the eulogy of your correspondent
on the former teacher in the Louisville
school, but think the correspondent Il
little premature when he states that "If
the directors of our school would look
to the interest of their children, they
wOa!d procure the services of Mr.. Hoav-
er As soon as possible" Not because
Mr. H was not a successful teacher, but
everybody supposes that we have a
teacher in our school the present term,
and it is generally interpreted as re-
proach cast at the present incumbent.
Perhaps If your correspondent had visit
ed the school during the present term,
he would have less cause to urge upon
the 'directors" the propriety of employ
ing the former teacher. The present
incumbent is in a condition similar to
all teachers in their first attempt in a
strange school, simply on trial, and if
he succeeded in pleasing every one he
would do more than nine-teDths of the
teachers succeed in doing.

WEDNESDAY EVENING of last week. a
lovely and loving young couple OF Bell
aire, DIR. J. F. AcGraw, and Miss Flora
Martin, attended the opera at Wheeling.
After the opera it was their intention to
90 to West Alexandria to be married,
but for some reason they seemed to have
changed their minds, and proceeded to
the Mcclure House. and registering as
&c. F. Bowie and wife, they were as
signed room, and spent their time In
enjoyment of each others society, hav-
ing their meals and champagne carried
to their room, until Friday noon,
when an elderly lady, the girls mother,
called at the hotel, and inquired for DR..
McGraw. The proprietor having had
his suspicious aroused concerning the
couple, showed her to "G. F. Bowie's"
room, where she found her daughter,an
a scene ensued that could only be enact
ed under the given circumstances
drunken man, wronged daughter, and
an enragsd mother. The girl was taken
home, and on Saturday morning the
doctor showed up, and was allowed till
noon to sleep off his debauch, when they
were brought to st. Clairsville under the
wing of the mother, to have justice (?)
done-by being married. Owing to the
age of the girl-seventeen-her father
had to be sent for before license could
be procured. Judging from the condi-
ton of the doctor on Saturday evening,
his reform had not commenced yet, as
he was $50 tired" he could not see hole
in ladder. The father arrived, and
on Sabbath afternoon, by the assistance
of Squire D. NJ. Davies, the knot was
tied at the National Hotel, and all
seemed merry again.
DR.. McGraw is described as a young
man of considerable professional ability,
and would have succeeded in his prac-
tice, but for his drinking, which has lost
him all the confidence of the people of
Bellaire.
The girl in the case is beautiful
young lady, and has hitherto enjoyed an
unblemished character. There is no
doubt that she was seduced by gilded
promises of future bliss, &C., &c.-"the
old story"-and fully repented of her
folly when it was too late to be mended
otherwise than the way it WAS.
