It appears that for some time past a gay Lothario of twenty-r three summers bras been devoting his attention, to a fair girl of eight years bis junior, who ha le turned his affections with the greatest waitntb, in spite of the fact that her parents opposed any engagement being made between them. But the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agtee, and so it was with tho determination of the parents, for a couple of Sundays ago the bains by which the twain-would be made orie_ were published in St. Andrew's Church, Gnelph, by the Rev. Dr. Hogg. The girl's father, hearing of this, forbade their second publication, at the same time notify ing Mr. .McLagan' antf Mr. A. "A. Riker not to issue any license to them. . Tho girlj. was sent to a friend at the Model Farm, for safe .keeping, but even these precautions Were insufficient, jvs she soon escap- ' ed and..weut to tjbe residence of the L -brother of her/ woukl be husbanjl, j In Guelph Township. The iatlcjr, about, the same time, drove to Fer gus, obtained a license and return ed, expecting to find his intended bridu - ^wuiting him, but to nia disappointment she had been taken away by her father, and is now 2j, said to 'be. pretty closely watched, for fear of a second escape.
