^ married to Miss Delia Nicholas, an at:
tract: re young lady of the same com- 'j&r
\ munity. Miss Delia's parents objected ?
s to the match and guarded against every i
; opportunity of elopement. The young^
lady procured a rope yesterday morn-'
" ing, preceded to the woods near her
[ home, and, after making two attempts,
' was successful in hanging herselt to a
' tres. A voun^er sister, who missed
her from the house, went ip. search and
: discovered her before VJfe was extinct,
I but not in time to^f&ve her. Young
, Finkliard soon hear/a of his sweetheart's
; untimely taking-off, and at once took a
