displayed here to day. The elec

everybody a she'ter from the cold

BENSON’S SWEETHEART
WHAT AN ALBANY SPECIAL SAYS ABOUT
THE LO\ E AFF IR O! OKOItOE BENSON.
The mi ri le of young George
Bens i . -.vhi'-li occured at the Globe
Hotel, in : ais place, on toe 3rd.
inst., waa in Jo 1 a sad occurence
but since it has become generally
known that be was bet rot tied to a
highly educa’ed and accomplished
young lady of Albany N Y. lends
a still sadder phase to it. We
quote from a special from th .f city
giving tbe ioliowiug account
of tbe reception there of be news
of bis suicide:
“Albany society lias plenty to
talk about to day mtlie repot- that
comes froai Lawrenceville, Ga.,
that George A Benson, hod of I lie
heud of tbe bouse of Benson A
Townsend, Philadelphia merchants
had committed suicide, and tka
eighty-six 1 ve letttrs in Ins poses
sion were wrhfen by an Albany
belle, Miss Ruth A Larrahe, daugu
ter of E J Larrahe, the extensive
steam cracker baker The let. ers
are said to be replete wnh tender
uud loving expressions, and are
written in a style that shows the
lady to be ul author of the utmost
refinement and cult ure. The t one
of tbs letters indicate that al one
time an engagement in marriage
had existed, a" 1 a day in last April
s *t for tbe marriage, but for some
unexplained reason, was broke off.
Letters that followed the one
nreakiug the engagement show no
abatement of affection, but rattier
seem shadowed with sidues-t ai
some obstacle which seemed to
s/and between them, and wnich
she seemed powerless to remove.
Mrs. Larrahe, /he mother of the
girl, refuses to say say anything
further Ban that there bad been
no engagement between her daugh
ter and Benson. The daughter
also declined to talk on the sub
ject Both feel grieved at the
notoriety given them by the af
fair.
4 well known gentleman of Al
bany, who moves in the highest
circles of society, said to day: “I
know Miss Larrahe as a graceful
engaging, refined young lady. Ben
son 1 did not know, not had 1
heard that any engagement of mar
riage existed between him and Miss
Latrabe. They bad probably be
come acquainted at Washington,
where Miss Larrahe /pent one
winter with the fa ily ot Sccre/a
ry J/cCulloch, and went much in
to society, where she was a gener
al favorite. She also vidted Mrs.
McElroy, sister of President Ar
thur, and aided her in receiving
on several occasions. The young
lady is bright and eh-uming. and
has participated prominently in
the social fes/ivites ot the past,
few weeks in this city. It is my
impression that she was to visit
Mrs. McElroy in the wlii/e house
in a few weeks.”
A pet sou who is quite familiar
with the family says: “I under
stand the yonog mau was a suitor
for Miss Larrahe’s hand. They
were devoled to one another, hut
her parents objectedJa year ugo/o
an engagement on account of tbe
youth of tlie parties. For a time
there was an understanding / at
his suit might oe heard at a later
lay if the affections of the young
people did not uudergo a d ange
as they became older. When, how
ever, Mr. Benson became dissipat
ed all of an engagement
was abandoned. Miss Larrnbes
conduct in the mabnr has been
above reproach, and she is deeply
painted by the publicity that has
been given to the case.
I.octal Observation*
In wandering around ibisprety
village, one is delighted to see so
many ' andsome residence i and co
sy homes This is one of the sur
esi sigrs of prosperity au-t cultiva
lion. We took our first strool
over the town, on Sunday evening
last, and, although the inclemency
of the weather, we were surprised
at wtiat. we saw. Certainly Law
reujeville can boast of her many
beautiful homes; these of thorn
solves show refined ttsts. while
ffowers and tastefully laid out gar
dens indicate the handiwork of
cultivated and intelligent women.
On every side we noticed signs of
improvements, new houses are b.i
iog built, old ones fixed up,
and still the cry is heard for more
houses, which cry has a right to
be heeded. Surely and steadily
th > town is growing and increasing
in wealth and population We
saw some pretty good horses, be
ing driven for all they were worth
but not so many as their might be,
and there is some room for iiu
provemeDt in this direction. We
iiaw lots of pretty girls, of ali ages
and sizes, and we will compliment j
them by saying they are regular
little beau, as, but for “Goodness j
iake,” don’t say anything about
it, for we might receive a “Cur
tain Lecture. We notcod that
the colored people, were neatly
dressed and orderly in their le
havior; also mat the bar-rooms
were a'l closed, and no slipping
in at the back door, which a one
speaks volums for our lown. We
saw a few idlers roosting arou- d
on boxes, swapping er—er — jokes',
but wa suppose they were tired
and were frying to have a good
‘‘hard’’ resf. We notice I that the
s reels were kept pretty c'ean and
i i i fiir order, except an occisi >t ul

disagreed, as they had a light to
