came to town to transact some business
and do little shopping. While here she
met with Mr.. Hugh Gallagher, who is a
wide-swake travelling salesman-"they
met by chance" An old fame was re-
kindled which mad been doused year
ago when Hugh offered his dand, which
was declined by the parents. The offer
was again renewed, the young lady &C
cepted, Esquire ID. Overton was sent for,
and Hugh Gallagher and Miss Mollie
Moore were made man and wife. They
left town on Monday last, bound for

alone to communicate the news of his
sisters elopement to the surprised
bewildered and sorrowful parents. Miss
Mollle was an industrious young lady,
and her loss TO her father and mother,

sorely felt. We hope she has secured as
good husband as we are certain she will
be wife, Hillsboro Reflector.
