A Pretty Vouu* Music Teacher Weds a Young Merchant Vn der an Assumed Name-The Flight, the Discovery, and the Return Home—Recon ciliation of the Parties. Douglasville, Ga., February 13 ! [Special.] The facts concerning a se ! tret marriage in this town, the disap pearaaeeof the bride, the pursuit of the husband, and a brief history of the high contracting parties, has been made public. THE LADY APPEARS. On ths ethos last month there came uaber&hfod to bur town a very beau ' liful and cultured young lady. For reasons es her own, she came under the. aasulhed name of Mattie Martin. Among her rare accomplishments is a finished musical education, she having been instructed in the scince by esome (jf the most eminent masters in theari. Her purpose in coming here was io secure a class in mu> ic. In this : he m i s successful, and entered upon her dulle st once. She made her home at the McLarty house, and, although coming a'perfoct stranger,she at once captured the hearts of the people. Hoarding at the sama house was a handsome and rising young merchant. So far as he was ctMieerned she came, she saw and she conquered. The heroine, whose real name was Nettie May Hezeltou, the hero, Russ J. Btrichland, were SECRBTLY MARRIED <m the Itth of January last, alter a courtship of ten days. Mrs. Btrikland is the daughter of Captain T. JB. Hazel ton, formerly of Michigan but for a mmber ofysara a resident of Georgia, where he la well and favorably known m a saceesshil boMnea man. Captain and Mrs. Hazleton belong to families among the oldest, most honorable and distinguished of New York rnd other northern states. The bride hid no idea when she came here that she would marry, or what the consequen ces would be if she sh<»ttl<L under an assumed name- The parties had agree*l that the fact of their marriage should remain a profound secret for a mouth or two. They were to, and did act to ward each other in the same manner after, as before the marriage. Only two persons were present when the cerem ony was performed and they were both pledged to secrecy. The acquaintance aim courtship was so short, that th< young lady did not realize folly the awkward and inconsiMtant position which she was assuming, until after the ceremony had been performed. Hho greatly desired, beforehand so tell all, but for some inexplainable present ment, or dread tlnit the genleman might change his mind was detered from telling him. After the die was cast and her status was irrevokable tlxed,the full purport of what she had flashed across her miud. Khe became greatly troupled aliout the matter,and Swing young and inexperienced, and having no friend whom she knew well to council with, knew not what to do. She finally DECIDED TO CIO QUEETLX AWAY fora few days, write back to her huslmnd, make a full coufessioii, and 1 leave the matter with him whether he would in future recognize her : • his wife. Khe remained, however, in town four or five days after the mar riage, and then left under the excuse of visiting relatives. She went to Acworth, where she remained until the 6th of this mouth. It was her pur|wwe each day to write to her husband, bnt, when she would dip her pen in the ink, to writa the words which would prrli.ips, lose her a huslmiHl whom she loved very dearly, her woman's heart would fail her. The husband of a few days, not hearing from his new made hride, Itevaim* greatly alarmed alsmt her. Ho wrote letters of Inquiry, but could hear noth ing of her, whereupon he became great ly alarmed ami his condition of mind was really distressing. THE HRIDE FOUND. He kept his weary vigils for two weeks and then commenced a scan h for her. He, in conipsmy with 11. A. James, Ids brother-in-law, wlioaeeom p.init*d him us a brother and friend,left Douglasville on the morning of tin Uth, ami after making some investiga tion in Atlanta, tliey left at I:4oo’ehs-k p. m. for Acworth. On arriving there they found the object of their search in ainmst as laid state of mind as he. The meeting ami reunion was more touching and tender than (he word piiuting of such starnes by novel wr.- ' ters. because it was real. No Intreaty was necessary for her return, but both i parties were reudy to eonfews, forgive and forget. THE MARRIAGE RATIFIED. Some people think that a ma riage “if made urnfor an assumed name is null and void*.*. Our supreme court has decided that a marriage fraudu lently induced, is not void until so de clared by acourtof rtmipetent jurisdic tion. It is the law' of.the state, that if the party deceived aftAyi foil know'- edge of all facta, freely voluntarily ratifies the marriage and aoMvnpanies the same with cohabitation, the mar riage becomes as legal and Amidin* as if entered into legally at finif. In thia ease, the license and marriage ceftlfi- I rate have been changed by the <»ffirers to the right name, and the reconi to conform to that change. This was : doae in presence of both partiraand by , their exprra- direction. After it was uiaiie they both consented to and rati fied both the marriage and alterations of the licenses and record in presence of the ordinary and the magistrate wb»» perfo«i»ed the ceremony, ami a num- ■ bar of other gentlomen snd kbdies. Never in ail t he history of our q uiet little village lias naughty little cu|dd i raurad so great « senaathm, as by | I drawing the golden snare of love’s \ glittering net around the hearts of one of the fair daughters from north of , Mason and Dixon’s line, and one of the chivalrie sons of our grand old southerland. And now that the dark cloud h: s rolled by, may their tears of doubt and uncertainty becou e sparkling dew drops on the flowers of happiness which grow along thtir pathway, blessr g them with unspeakable contentment.-, and cementing thiir hearts more firm ly together. [■ GROUND UP BY A TRAIM. . A Ray Killed toy a Freight Train In Dallas Night Hefore L,a«t. William Bodgers, an eight year old white boy, was actually beheaded and ! horribly mangled by a freight train < n the East Tennessee railroad, in Pauld ing county, Wednesday night.

There were then sev eral boys about the depot and «mon? ! the number was young Rodger.-. The boys were all in the habit of swinging on trains and as the train started back Rodgers with others grabbed the side rails on cars, in some way Rodgers did not secure a good hold and after the train hud ted to move he drop ped under a car.
