A Wellsville, O., dispatch sa mance follows romance in rapid su cession in this part of the countr, Only a few days ago was reported the consummation” by marriage of a love sde that had its inception through a correspondence between the young couple, who were strangers to each othe The sequel to the following ro mantic story proves this case did not end as auspiciously for all concerned as did the first one. Carvolton is the county seat of Curroll, an adjoining county, situated on whatis known as isearawas valley, a rich agricul- region in one the garden spots ult)!uu noted for its beautiful women and fine cattle, Morland is one of the principal attorneys in the place, a man of large means, undoubted influence and promi- nence, and the father of a beautiful daughter named Linda, who has just graduated from a well known boarding school, Miss Linda. as has been noted. ig really ahandsome girl, highly ac- complished. and possessor of & voice of rare purity and powe Like many of her , the idea of se- curing unknown: eorrespondents seized her and the pustime-for o period was very fascinating. Disappointment, keen and crul, has resulted to at least one of the principals in the affair orrespondent proved to James Wright, v M of Chetopa, Kan., a stock-dealer and a man reputed to be worth at least $50,000. The corve- spondence continued for sonfe time, when Wright formed the notion of taking his fair unknown tg fill a void in his western home. What the nature of the correspondence was is of course a mystery, but a few ago Miss Linda Mortland, of Carvollton, was very much surprised to have ushered intd her presenco James Wright, of Chetopu, Kan., in whom she saw her unknown corrcspondent, who came to wed her. When she saw him she was geized with a caprice and evidently ex perienced a revulsion of sentiment, for she refused to marry him, declaring she would never do so. There the matter rests, Mr. Wright, who o young man of intelligenco, honor and integrity, was accompanied to Carvollton by his sister. a well- known and nati, whose presence vouth for the gallant, ness that his intentions wer and serious. This itself made many friends for the disappointed lover who left Carrolton for his sister’s home in Cincinnati somewhat crestfallen, but by no means discouraged, as he declures he will yet win the young lady in spite of all, an intention he says, that hecame irresistible when he first siw the object of his affection, The affair has created no little stir in the humdrum village and the case has been the one topic of conversation for days pust. The manly part Wright has borne in the matter and hjs standing in the world since his position and wealth have been raled have somewhat overcome the prejudice existing aguinst the means in which the affair was brought about. . The young lady's actions and her re- fusal to marry Wright are mysteviesand whether the result of impulse or caprice ora yiclding to the entreaties of her family cannot be learned.

The Citizen has gathered up the tangled threads of the story. which runs as follows: Some years g > Brinson, while a young man, was a student at Lebanon (Tenn.) law school, met and told the story of his love to Miss Hearn. He wen't to headquarters and asked for the heart he had won, giving the county of Burke as a reference to his antecedents., The Methodist minister at IFranklin took charge of the reforence, and wrote to the minister at that place, who being a new comer, and did not know of Judge B.’s family, turned the. letter over to a prominent member of the church. This gentlenian at once roplied that young Brinson was one of Waynesbaro's rising young men, that hé came of one of the best families, who were prominent mem- bers of the Baptist denomination in the county. The word Baptist was a blazing fire-brand and broke off all frn-mll\ communication, The Methodist minis- ter and the parents of the young lady could not tolerate the idea of their pet lamb being penned in a Baptist fold.

An Augusta clergyman had a call from such a man a few days ago. oung lady was on his arm, and he wished to be married to her. They were invited to seats in the parlor, and as the ceremony was about to proceed the minister requested them to stand up.

It wasa pal actors proceeded at once to the altar rail, where the clergy- man was waiting to perform the ce mony. The others of the party \ged themselves along either side of the aisle, each in a seat. he knot was soon tied and the happy couple started to leave the church. As the going down the aisle all their friends stood up. Suddenly there was the bang of a pew door. It seemed a signal, for at once everyone in the party com- menced to bang the doorof the pew that he or she occupied, and the noise like the firing of guus was kept up until the bride and groom rem-hog the door. Then it stopped, and before the astonished clergyman could speak all filed solemnly out. One youth, when asked what the proceeding meant, re- plied: SWell, it's jest dis way: we couldn't afford no organ an’ no weddin® mavch at dis affair, an’ so de gang dey jest got tergedder an’ give ‘em de best we din® suloot dat we had in stock.
