We were informed by Mr.. Mulvany,

he was not able to say whether the
boating would be good this season or
lot.
We made flying visit to Morgan
county last week, and heard detail
ed account of a romantic marriage,
the parties to which reside near Lit
tie Orleans. A young lady, an only
daughter, eloped with a young man
and married him. Her parents were
bitterly opposed to the match and
tried in every way to prevent it. Last
week she went to friends house un-
der the pretense of paying a visit.
That evening her beau sent friend
to bring her to a meeting point pre-
viously agreed upon. The friend ar
rived at the house after dark and
gave as excuse, that her parents had
sent for her to come home at once.
She set out with him, on foot, and
walked to Doe Gully Station, about
four miles distant. Here her guide
left her at the house of Mr.. William
Roby, where she was soon joined by
her intended husband. The next day
they both took the train and were
married somewhere in Pennsylvania.
A brother of the lady followed them
to Little Orleans and then to Doe
Gully, but he was too late to inter
cept them. TEL. e. GRAPH.
