Eloped With a Richer Girl.
Dvbjso the winter a Brooklyn miss o l fourteen years, named Frazier, has been, visiting. Oil City relative*, who board, with a family named Whitfield, South. Side. Miaa Frazier ia an orphan, described a* comely and intelligent, though, still wearing dresses of a length becoming, toons of, her years. When we will haveattained her majority, she will inherit money and property to the extent of $60,000. In the family with whom she and her friends board is a son, aged twentyfour, who, after learning es her circumstances, and having the inside track as it were, won the affections of the child heiress, planned an elopement and marriage, which was clandestinely consummated last week. It is needless to say that the friends of Miss Frazier are much grieved at the denouement, and attach blame; to themselves for not exercising a closer surveillance over their young visitor, whose head was turned by tit* words and pleasing address of her witty suitor, who was engaged to a Miss Rivera, the day es the nuptials having been fried, and the IrouMtau of the expectant bride made, Miss Rivers, learning that Whitfield had played her false,.turned pale, placed hes Bind on her left side, dosed her eyes, and fell in a swoon. Very romantic. But she has recovered—will net pine away and die: on the contrary she has announced her intention to bring a suit for damages, and will no doubt exert herself to make a furnace on earth for Whitfield. That he is unprincipled ia Illustrated in his treatment of Mias Rivers, and that he is a shrewd calculator may he inferred from the hand that be played with Mrs. Whitfield nee Miss Frailer. —TituniUe (Pa.)
