Keen observers, however, detected In the countenance of the female, traces of disappointment or anguish, or sorrow, which little befitted the features of a new made bride ; and there were those even, who did not scruple to whisper to each other their belief that there was "something wrong." As no one knew the parties, however, no one could speak positively upon the subject, and no one cared to utter what might bo unfounded suspicions aloud. The lady was very quiet, very reserved, und not at all Inclined to mirth. There was some mystery, and on Wednesday the solution came. That day the "gentleman" disap peared, assuring the lady ho would be gone but a little time, and would then return to make her, what it scenis he had not yet made her his wife. In fact, ho told her he was going to procure a marriage license. In vain, however, she waited' for him to re-appear. Her anxiety now becamo visible to all who saw her; and after enduring her grief und misery until Thursday, she told her pitiable story. Her father- lives near Grecnsburg, Indiana, and the girl was also living there with her parents, ou a arm. Some months ago, a man presented himself at her father's house, who purported to be, and probably was, a cattle dealer. Either because he had business there, or because he liked the society of the young lady, he remained for a considerable time, and won the affections of the girl. Ills intentions tlo not seem atllrstto have been dishonorable, for he proposed marriage, aud was by the young lady accepted. The father, however, from what cause docs not appear, forbade the match 5 aud the dissatisfied girl not being dealt with, perhaps, either wisely or well, seized the llrst opportunity that presented to elope with her lover. The pair came to Cincinnati. Here the design of the "gentleman" seemed to undergo a change for the worse. Under one frivolous pretense or other, he continued to put oil' the ceremony that was to make them one ; ami as by his offer of marriage previous to the runaway he had altogether won the young lady's fultn, he effected her complete seduction. Shortly afterward he left her, as we have described. The young woman was left without a cent, but making known to some persons who learned her story, her desire to return home, they gave her sufficient money for the purpose, and she departed yesterday morning. May she receive more humane aud kinder treatment at. home than from the heartless villain who betrayed her here.
