A SAD STORY.
Double Betrayal at
itlalden.
a Wife anti
The following correspondence from
Grahamsvi’le, Sullivan county, New
York, pictures the actions of one of the
most heartless rascals who has ever come
to public notice:
It is not often that a neighborhood is
furnished more than ouo decided sensa
tion of a similar character by one roan
but this portion of Sullivan county jay
boast ol being an exception to the rule.
No inhabitants of this place who lived
hero ten years ago will ever forget toe
intense excitement that prevailed liei
then over the
ELOPEMENT OP THE WIPE
of Rev. Mr. Ketchnm, beloved pastor
of the Methodist Epis opal Church lieie
with a tailor named J. H. Bugsbee, but
there would be no interest in the recital
of the incidents of that affair now, bnt
for the fact that the same mau, under si
different name, has just beguiled from
her homo in Monticello, twenty miles
from here, a beautiful and accomplished
young lady. While living in this place.
Bngsbee was considered
A MODEL MAN,
was n member of Mr. Khi chum’s church
and a great worker therein. Mrs. Ketch'
nm was a young aud attractive woman
and no one ever suspected anything
wrong of either ot them, until fin-y dis
appear*--»together one day during !.< -
husband’s absence. Tho two were * ever
heard of until two years afterward, viieu
thev were discovered in the village of
Ellenville. Mr. Ketchum, pi the mean
time, had been divorced. Bugsbee and
Mrs. Kmchnm were not married nntii
some, time subsequent. They started
tailor shop in that village, and were ap
parently getting rich, when, a few weeks
ago, Bugsbee d.sappeareo, and his where
abouts failed to be ascertained.
Toward the latter part of September
last a man registering his name as JT. H
Buckley, appeared at the Mansion House
Monticello, and it soon transpired that
lie was the agent of tnc Davis Sewing
Machine Company. He made a good
impression by his s’, ..isb clothes,
PLEASING ADDBFSS AND MANNEUS,
and found a ready sale lor bi3 machines.
His morals were perfect, hence he found
no difficulty in getting a passport into
the best society, especially that of the
ladies. When he came to Monticello
there was Jiving there with her parents*
highly respectable bnt not wealthy peo
ple, a young woman named
XTiORA ALLEN.
She was boautiiul in face and form, and
it wus not long before Buckley made her
acquaintance, and created in her mind a
strong interest for him. Herepresented
to her parents that he was of
A WEALTHY FAMILY IN FLOBIDA,
and that ha had rnn away from home be
cause he disliked the profession bis father
had chosen for him—that of the minis
try. The Aleuts believed his story, hut
•objected to their daughter receiving his
attentions because she was then prepar-
for her marriage with another. A day
or two since Buckley disposed o* ad his
effects, converting them into cash.—
Thursday he hired a I « rso aud wagon at
a livery s-able in Mouticellc, saying he
was going to “take his girl riding to
Wateraboro to an oyster supper.” He
and Miss AlJen departed together, and
have not been seen since. The next
night after ihey went away oDe of Miss
Alien’s sisters received a letter from her
dated at Jersey City, in which she state*!
that she und Buckley were married, ana
that it would be of no use for any of them
to write to her, or follow, as before a
letter could reach them they would lie
miles away. A brother of Miss Allen’s
and the livery stable keeper o f whom
Buckley had hired the horse, started at
once in pnrsait— tho one if possible to
find his sister, declaring vengeance on
hei .sA.lucer, tho other to recover his
property.
That Buckley and Bugsbee are one and
the 8ame person is settled beyond a
donbt, and the greatest sympathy :s fel
for the young lady who has been to busi
ly betrayed, aud her sorrowing parents.
Sue will, no doubt, he deserted m turn
by, the base villain, and left to return
dishonored to her home. It is to oe
hope*! that the scoundrel may be ever-
hauled and brought to justice*

Ii is a notorious fact that even tu colleges lutlea

Mr. Stephens supplies tills knowledge. Fromtk
discovery oi Columbus to the esublis’-ment d
American Independence he carries the reads
quickly and gracefully through all ot tue leadinj
events that transpired, developing tb03e facts li
colonial history which led to the organizatoaaai
growth of tiie present torm of government.

•In the treatment of these various subjects, Mr.
Stephens is not a partisan. He addr- saea hi* nit
ers from a point of view far above the inflm ncsof
passion or prejudice, aud in the statement of hetato
which he rnaiuiy confines his work, there is »«•
hibttiou of impartiality that forbids the qaesta
