The st. Louis Abduction.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. IL P. M.-Oiiver
Garrison says Miss Garrison has been
found, and is now at the house OF her
uncle, on Pine street. He does not think
she suffered any violence a. the hands OF
her abductors other than being chloro-
formed on Saturday last, when the ruf-
fans obtained possession of her person.
That is, however. absolutely certain,
though Miss Garrison has lost all
memory of the place OF the occurrence.
The young lady was returned this
morning by one OF the ruthans himself,
who probably became alarmed at the
great excitement of the public and the
probability of his punishment.
