AND HOW SHE LEFT HIM BY MIBKI&HT— A BO- j

MABRIAOE—WISTEH AND SPBIXO rXr-
TED, TO BE TOES ASUNDER AFTER
SIX YEARS —ISAAC HAUSER AND
BECKIE, HIS WIFE, MYS
TERIOUSLY SEPARATED
— O, WHERE'S RE
BECCA GONE?
From tha He,ding Eigle, Sept. fo.J
There are very few people in this city or
neighboring townships who do not remember
ibe familiar countenance of “Deckie,the mateb-
. iri,” who captured and married Isaac Ganser,
,Alsace township farmer,who counts his pot;-
st.isions by the hundred thousands of dollars.
Some six years ago the poor orphan match-
gii! was in the habit of making journeys out
i’erklomen avenue, past Dengler’s tavern,
and down to the Black Bear, where she
would generally dispose of all her stock
in trade. The sun of a beautiful, happy morn
ing in Jane had been soariug in the heaven
tally three hours, r.ud the sturdy farmer who
had been to the city to dispose of his stock of
dairy produce, was returning to his home. In
the vicinity of the toll-gate he overtook the
poor match-girl and there it was he first met
her face to face. Beckie asked the farmer to
allow her to ride up the hill, and, strapge to
s.,y, the request was granted. And that jour-
lay up the hill settled th# fate of the farmer
widower. The pretty blue eyes of his com
panion played sal havoc with the heart of the
wealthy land-owner, and when he leit her an
audible sigh went out .from his soul as he
turned his horses away.
The very next day the farmer was a suitor
i r the hand of Beckie, the match-girl, then
twenty-two years oi age, though small and
yonthtnl in appearance. She was recommended
as a smart and respectable girl by the neigh
bors. and after six nights in courting, the
innocent and confiding spirit of the sympa
thetic match-girl gave way, and she consented
to marry the white-haired farmer of three
score and ten, but worth nearly a quarter of
a million in hard, round dollars. The Bev.
Mr. Leinbach married Ihe loving conple, and
(or two years a more bappy and contented
pair of idolizing sonls than old Isaac Genser
.'.ad his bride conld not be found in all the
country. She had every thing sho de
sired ’ He educated her, bought her
horses and carriages, a magnificent piano,
silk and satins, money, pleasure,
private pews, and all else her heart desired.
A child was born nnto them which proved to
bo a little girl, acd they named it Katie. The
neighbors came, and the young girls of the
, a an try round made it a special point to con
gregate at the Ganser farm home on Saturday
cud Sunday nights, where they would be sure
to meet their accepted lovers. Music and
t inging wonld reign supreme, and cider and
apples would constitute the feast. The far
mer’s young bride was the pride of the neigh
borhood, and right handsomely did she attend
to her duties as housewife and lady.
The years crept by, and gradually it became
apparent that she had either been spoiled by
her doting husband, or that she had become
weary of her choice. Things at the Ganser
farm-house were crosswise, and Beckie and
Isaac were out. The piano remained locked,
and there was a gloom about the parlor that
was strikingly foreboding. A year ago they
partially ceased rooming together, and she
positively declined to occupy the same cham
ber with him at all times, upon the ground
that he was filthy and dirty, and then there
arose a dark cloud in the home of the land-
owner of Alsace. With the old man’s rigidi
ty, Beckie became more and more frigid
and distant. Silence before a storm was
aptly exemplified. For some months they did
not speak, and then of a sudden there arose
a perfect hurricane of harsh words and ex
pletives. Beokie asked for a divorce, but the
stern farmer forbade it. Then she threatened
to poison him, bat never carried it out At
varions times she stated she would run away
and never more be heard from. This was not
heeded, and np to Sunday evening nothing
definite had transpired. Yesterday morning,
however, it was discovered that Beckie had
departed, and, singular enough, had taken
away all she owned In the way of clothing
and valuables in a wheel borrow. Since then
nothing has been heard of the ran-away.
Mr. Ganser was in the city yesterday and
made the information to several parties. He
is in his seventy-sixth year, and is apparently
hale and hearty. He stands about five feet
six inches, is somewhat bent wiih age, and
has white flowing hair and closely trimmed
whiskers. He told the facts of his married
life with considerable feeling, and it was evi
dent that while not grieving much over the
loss of his young wife, ho was ill at ease and
anxious to know what had become of her. He
stated that when he first married her, things
went aloog smoothly. She had everything she
wanted and everything her own way. Her eve
ry thought was anticipated, and her wants pro
vided for. All the money she received from
seals of farm and dairy produce she kept,beside
other amounts that k had been lying around
loose were kindly appropiiated. She was
obliged to do no work, retired when she de
sired to, and arose when the sun wa3 high in
the heavens. Beckie mast be a remarkable
sleeper, for Mr. Ganser remarks that she
could be picked np oat oi bed and carried
down stairs and not be awakened. All that
she was required to do was to superintend
the household duties, which she did in a very
excellent manner. During Sunday she was
.11 at ease, and toward evening made known
her intention to pay a neighbor a visit She
was persuaded, however, to remain at home,
and at the customary hour they retired, he
to his room and she to hers. Monday morn
ing came, but the little wife, like the Arabs,
had folded her tent and silently glided away.
All her effects had been stored in a wheel
barrow, but whither they were wheeled or to
where she had gone to remains an unsolved
mystery as yet.
One of the reasons given for the departure
by the old farmer is that the hired man’s wife
was exceedingly jealous. It was charged that
the young wife thought more ot the teamster
than she did of her own husband. The su
perintendent of the farm, alluded to, is a
young man of great vitality, and is of fair ap
pearance. His better half has been noticing
lor the past six months numerous short-com
ing'-. In the absence of the former, the hired
man would have lots of business in the farm
house, but of what import it was there was no
one on the outside conld tell. And the young
man’s wife became jealous, and for a time
there was a little war in progress on the Ganser
form. When the old man heard of this, he
consoled them by saying that he guessed there
was nothing in it. The hired man still re
mains on the farm, or the sudden departure of
the young wife would be still more romantic.
This will be news for a great many people, as
it is a matter of greaVSurprise to all, that
Bvckio should so suddenly rush fiom a home
of affluence down ta whenever her singular in
fatuation should lead her—
It is whispered that during the past few
months something has been observed about
her that was not altogether right. Her mind , oeohgia rtatf ™
