A little excitement has been afforded
the neighbOrs of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Harrison. OF the confectionery store on
1888 Franklin avenns. by the report
that their pretty daughter, Rosa Harri-
son, had disappeared on Tuesday night
with Samuel Tellmsn for the purpose
Of being mad one ar Plymouth.
1t is evidently the old story Of love
at first sight and the stern parents OF
the charmer obdurste in refusing per-
mission to the languishing couple.
Mrs Harrison has no extra opinion of
her reputed son-in.law and states that
Rosa had supplied him with edibles
when he was famishing in the balmy
days Of courtship. The love part Of
the business may be sufficiently genu
inc but Mrs. Harrison desires some
thing more substantial Herewith fol
her daughters support. The neigh
bors, who have high opinion of the
Harrisons, ar quite excited over thG
event and discuss it with avidity.
