of Morosini, made visit on Saturday to
the bride of coachman SchellinE, and had a
half hours conversation with her. Mr..
Conner furnishes the following account:

this most unfortunate affair of his daughter,
Mr.. Morosiu said We'll Conner, you go
up and see Vic. Tell her from me-and lei

last opportunity to hear from lne-that II
she will consent to be Il little more respect

she has been since her marriage, and show
that she has a little love left for her parents,
