Fi.ey We're Under Age.

GREENvILLE, S. c., January 22.-The
runaway marriage, yesterday, of very
youthful couple, together with the subse-
quent developments, have created some
thing of a sensation here. About 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dir. j. G.
Jeffries, a notary public of this city, was
surprised at the entrance of the young
couple into his Office, aud their request
for him to perform the marriage ceremo.
ny. Suspecting that they we're under the
legal age, he questioned them, and the
replies being satisfactory, he performed
the ceremony, and they went ON their
way rejoicing. The groom's name is
William Hall, and that of the bride was
Miss Leila Langley. Mr.. Hall took his
bride to his fathers house, where they
received the congratulations of many
friends, and all seemed as happy as could
be, until about 10 o'clock, when their
dream of happiness was rudely awakened
by the arrival of the BRIDES father, &C.
companied by constable with a warrant
for the arrest of the groom for abduction.
He was taken before Trial Justice Davis
and placed under $500 bond for bis ap.
pearance at the next term of court.
The bride was taken home by her father,
who, in his affidavit for the warrant,
awore that his daughter was not yet IF
teen years old, and was under the legal
age for matritnony. The evidence de.
veloped the fact that the groom is only
about nineteen years of age. Much sym.
pathy is felt for the young couple,
and it is feared that if the case is pressed
Hall will be convicted and severely pun.

"The place seemed deserted. A few min.
utcs later he became conscious that some
one was scrutinizing him from window
a few feet away. He was finally admitted
by young woman who carried q revolver
in her hand. She got him some supper,
and said she WAS alone, in the house, but
expected her father, who was home from
the confederate army on a sick leave, to
return at any time.
"She seemed to take an interest in Gas.

garret. There size fed him for two weeks

night without arousing her parents, till
he finally escaped.
