The young men and boys of Old Milford some- times improperly called ‘- Sleepy Hollow,”’ had a lively time Saturday. late in the afternoon. Achap calling himself Vietor Bard, some weeks since, it appears, advertised in one of the New York papers for a wife, representing himself to be a lawyer, with an ample fortune, residing at the West. The advertisement came under the observation of the girls at the ‘Straw Factory” in Milford, and for the “fun of the thing,”’ was responded to, per letter, by one of the number. The letter was promptly answered, making fur- «ner advances and a sort of “ tender-line’’ cor- respondence followed, the result of which was that Victor Bard, Esq., suddenly made his ap- pearance, one evening, to have an interview with the girl. He had, it seems, mailed a let- ter to her on that day at New York, and then took the train for Milford, where stationed himeelf at the post office. Soon after, as he ex- — the young lady came in and called for er Ietter. He followed her out; introduced himself as the person with whom she had been corresponding; went home with her; was intro- duced to the family, and soon made himself = familiar with the whole household. With the looks of the girl. he immediately declared himself satisfied, and expressod a desire to make short work with the courtshi It was accord- ingly agreed that they weald be married on Thanksgiving Day, and the young lady and her friends commenced making arrangements for that purpose. The preliminaries being thus settled, Victor returned to New York, and was thence back and forth. to see the youn; lady, imp: the time arrive: when he could eall ber his own. ~‘ But the course of true love never runs smooth.”” Vic- tor had palmed himself off on the cars as a con- ductor on some Eastern Company. ard on Tues- day evening, 21th ult , being the Inst visit pre- vious to his intended marriage. he attempted to palm off a friend who accompanied him, aa another conductor, but who happened to be known as one not belonging to the craft. This led to Pe (ag against him, and both were eompelled to pay their fare. This ciroumstance led to inquiries about him, both in Milford and New York. It was also found that Victor Bard was an alias he had assumed, and that his real name is Wm. H. Tew, the son of a respectable farmer in Rochester Y., where he married a wife who ivorce from him on account of ill treatment. It was further found that he had been a school teacher at a place called Mount Vernon, on the line of the road, where he lived with a woman he called hig wife. but who deserted him on account of bad@yeatment And sti:l farther, it was found that he had been convicted of perjury, and had expiated his guilt by serving a term of four months in prison. In the former place. suspicions had already been excited that he was not the wealthy and distinguished gentleman that had been repre- sented, and several citizens of the place imme- diately set themselves at work to trace him ont. result of their efforts was the dis- eovery that he wasa most accomplished vil- lain. In New York, it was found that he was known ass lecturer on temperance. and thst not long since he delivered a lecture before the Young Men's Christian Association in New Haven. The arrangement with the girl was, to be married at the Tontine. in New Maven, where their friends had been invited to attend. Bat the detection of the ticket forgery, on Tuesday i timidated him, and he procured a erage till this day, (Monday, Novem- r 30 intending, in the mean time, no doubt, if possible. to accomplish the ruin of the oung woman, and then make good his escape he old Milferders, however, were too smart for him. The facts they had learned were auf- ficient, they had thought. to warrant his arrest, and they accordingly had him seized, on Thursday, on a charge of bigamy. His examination took place on Saturday af- ternoon. on which occasion a full exposure of his true name and character was given, but as no witnesses appeared against him, he was dis- eharged—with an order to make tracks, with all speed, out of town. He thereupon started on foot towards Bridgeport, and was followed by an excited crowd of men and boys with a supply of tar and feathers, for the purpose of giving him an outfit of those materials. Bat it was concluded to relinquish this part of the performance, and in lieu thereof to ride him on a rail; which they did in ~* good shape,” till they got him beyond the limits of the town boing simp gave him a pelting with eggs and et go. Report says that bis trunk. with the wedding garments, was privately brought to this city and put aboard the Saturday evening express train—but we cannot learn that the person of Vietor Bard, Esq., has here been seen. He is robably skulking through the back towns to New York. We are inclined to think he will always cherish a lively recollection of Connee- tisut, and of the old schwol hospitality he re- ceived at old Milford —bridgeport Advertiser. - ste - Batuixe ny Tereisa Lapiss—Whken a Turkish lady bates, her attire is frst altogether removed. An attendant takes a glove (ever day it is anew glove) of undressed silk. Wit! the disengaged fiand she pours over her mistress basin after basin of warm water. Then, by means of a gentle friction of the glove. she slowly removes the salts and impurities depos- ited on the skin. This done, the attendant covers the lady from head to foot, by means of a mop of downy silk, with a lather made of particular emollient soap. Upon this seap, which isa kind believed to be peculiar to Turkey,depends much of the pencil-like softness and snowy whitness of the skin, for which refined Eastern women are eo remarkable; it has the reputation of re- — stains, spots and freckles not deeply marked intothecuticle. This part having been carefully performed, the lady iz again deluged in water, beated tu about 120 degrees, and poured over her person from a silver basin.

X. A TRAVELLER IN A DILEMMA. Atan Soe Sumric, who are, com- | meted speaking, rather a bad race, I got a lesson on this subject. One young woman of them was really beautiful, although she had grown up in the jungle, without even a tent to protect her from the fierce sun and from the cold dews of night. Hercomplexion unusually fair; her black locks were wound round her head somewhat in Grecian style, and her scanty se mee shift and shirt—scarcely concealed nely-rounded and almost faultless limbs. As she was suffering slightly from fever, I gave her some medicine, and also some syrup, she directing me to pour it into the hollow of her hand, while, by applying her mouth to her wrist, she was able to drink without allowing any to escape. Unfortunately, when I was feeling the pulse of this Sumric beauty, her half-Belooch, ex- tremely ugly, black, and savage husband made his appearance, bearing a breken limbed goat upon bis shoulders. and looking all suspicion and wrath. He evidently had no faith what- ever in my moral character, and looked upon my medical businees as a mere diabolical pre- tence, which it was his duty and interest to expose. Intruding himself upon our tefe-a- tete, he spoke inarude and provoking wa: which I could interpret easily without catch’ the separate meaning of almost a single mont Especially he tried, and with success, to excite alaugh against me, by derisively inquiring i 1 coat turn him, or any portion of Lis y, white. Itisdangerous in Belooshistan to let the laugh be turned nat one by an angry man, though it is ex; t not to be hasty in noticing umored ridioule. In this case it was lucky that I understood his ridicule; for while the servant with me was explaining, there was time to consider how it should be met. The expedient I adopted was to pull out a knife, catoh him by the arm, and make aslight incision, intimating that there was nothing easier than to turn him white, only, in the first re he would have to submit to being flayed. his rude and not very brilliant jest took ama- ingly and preserved my moral supremacy. His companions seemed highly tickled and deligh ed at the idea of their friend losing his kin, and threw themslvos on the ground, rolling about, laughing and repeating, “ Hakullo wants to be made white! Hakullo must be fiayed!*’ Marsyas himself seemed paralysed at the audacity of the proposal, and turned away Letty ebewets as a savage dog does from an untried foe which it is doubtful about attacking. This did not please his friend at,all, and they were earnest on the subject, and I began to fear—the more so as he seemod an unpopular character among them—that they might tie him up, and insist on the operation being per- formed After this he established himself behind a bush close by, and consoled himself with examining and handling his matchlock in a way which showed how his thoughts were running ; for he aimed at me with it more than once when he thought I was not observing. The cord not being lighted, there was no danger in this; but when he rose, lighted a large pipe, and took it over to his lair, I thought it expedient to speak to his affectionate frienls on the subject, where- on they said he wasa bad man, and took his gun awayfromhim. There was nogreatchance of the laws of hospitality being broken ; but the possibility of the ruffian wreaking his vengeance on the unoffending wife afforded an unpleasing subject of contemplation.—Black wood « Mag- eoine. ~.e Smoking powN 1x Bestox.—In some of our towns we don’t allow smoking in our streets— in others we do, and where it is agin the law, it is two dollars fine in a gineral way. Well, Lassy went down to Bosting to doa little chore of business there, where that is law, only he dida’t kvow it. So soon as he gets off the coach, he outs with his case, takes a cigar, lights it, and walks on. smoking like a furnace flue. No sooner done than up comes a constable and sais, “Dl trouble you for two dollars, for smokin’ agin the law in the atreet.”’ “Smokin’!”’ sais he, © { warn't smokin’. “Q my!’ the con- stable, * how you talk, man.

Cavtioxs to BacugLons.—Thero is nothing 80 dangerous as a young man staying in acoun- try house with pretty girls. He is sure to fall in love with one or other of them imperceptibly, or one or other is sure to fall in love with him, and then, when he leaves, there is sure to be a little scene arranged. Miss, with her red eye- lids and lace fringed kerchief, mamma with her smirks and smiles, and hopes he'll ‘ soon re- turn, and soon. There are more matches made in country houses than in all the West End Lon- don ones put together. Indeed, London is al- lowed to te only the cover for finding the game on, and the country the place for running it down Just as you find your fox in a wood and ran him down in the open. Be careful, therefore, what you are about. It is much easier to eutang'ed with a girl than to get free again, for though they will always offer to seta young man free, they know better. Above all, never consult a male friend in these matters. The stupidest woman that ever was born is better than the cleverest man in love affairs. Infact no man isa mateb for a woman until he is mar- ried—not all even then. The worst of youn men is they never know their worth until it is toolate. They think the girls are difficult to catch, whereas there is nothing go easy, un- less, as [aaid before, the girls are better en- gaged oung man Should always have his bis elbow to guard him against the machinations of the fair.
