An Unmatched Couple.

A strange marriage took place IN
Hagerstown a week or ten days ago,
the contracting parties being from this
county. Mrs. S, E. Williamson, aged
Al, was married to a youth named
WATSON, aged II. The young man, or
rather boy, was employed as hand
on the farm controlled and partly own
ed by Mrs. Williamson, and she con-
tracted a strange infatuatlon for him,
which neither the arguments nor en-
treaties of her father and her children
could dispel, although every means was
used to that end by her friends. In
spite of all opposition the i'll assorted
pair, both as to age and social position,
went to Maryland, where the license
laws are less rigid than in West Vir-
ginia, and were married. Mrs. Will
hanson has married son and another
son and two daughters who, together
with her old father, are overwhelmed
with grief at the unaccountable con-
duct Of. their mother, and for whom
much sympathy is felt.-Martinsburg

Attempted Suicide.

Mr.. J. T. Trussell, who lives on
Race street, Martinsburg, attempted
suicide yesterday evening by taking
morphia and laudanum with a half
pint of whiskey. The latter part Of
the dose acting as an antidote, kept
him alive until DR.. E. L. Sencindiver
arrived, who by heroic treatment
saved his life. Some days before Mr..
Trussell, in conversation with his wife,
spoke Of suicide in a manner that led
her to suspect that he would attempt
it, and when he was missed yesterday
from his home for an unusual time, she
at once instituted search for him; he
was found unconscious in the barn OF
Mr.. A. J. Thomas. After he had been
revived by the physician he was taken
to his home and is now out of danger.
He gives as his reasons for the rash act,
financial trouble and i'll health, and
says that he will yet kill himself. He
claims to have procured the pOisons in
small quantities at different stores
until he thought he had sufficient and
then putting it in the whiskey took
it all at once. He had thought of cut
ting his throat with a razor, but
changed his mind, with the above re-
sult.-MartinSbtwg World

Found Drowned.

The body of William Cross, aged 80
years, a son of the late Charles Cross,
of Harper's Ferry, was found in Lake
Quigley at that place on Saturday.
The last seen of him alive by mem
bers of his family was on Thursday,
when he left them to draw his pay
from the railroad company, by whom
he was emplOyed-that being the day
for the pay car to be there. The opln-
ion, we understand, has been expressed
that he was not drowned. However,
robbery could not have been the OBJ
ieet of his death, if murdered, as his
money was upon his person when
found. Mr.. Cross was unmarried, but
has FIVE sisters living, to whom he was
affectionate and by whom he was
greatly beloved. Free Press.
