[From tin- New York Sua.] | A friend of nil parties concerned t furnishes the following version of the , facts: it was (luring tho summer of 1875 ' that Mr. Kennett hegan to pay marked attentions to Miss May. She had j the seat of honor on the box of liis coach. She was the honorctl guest on hoard his yacht. The en; suing winter they were seen much j together?out driving, at tho theatre, i at receptions, at dinner parties, at the opera?and soon it was rumored they were engaged to be married. The match was regarded a brilliant one by the young lady's friends, especially as the young people seemed devoted to \ each other. The friends of Mr. JJenI nett and his illustrious father were ! equally pleased, though some who | were aware that the young gentlemen ha l an erratic, impulsive, unfortunate : temperament, and had been several j times engaged, had their fears. It ! was premised, however, that Mr. J>cni nett was really moat devoted to Miss! j May, who is a very charming youngi J lady, and they hoped for the best, j Mr. Jlennett is not a ladies' man. j , lie rather avoids ladies' society, hud-j j 5Jig more pleasure in that of gentle-1 ! men inclined, like himself, to polo, i j yachting, and athletic sports. His! ; greatest fault, now so generally | j known that it is no longer a secret,! ! was his liability at any moment to gol on a spree. Liquor gives many men a j : duel nature ; it soali'ecls Mr. ilemieti, j intensifying his impulsiveness, obsti| uacy, aud ricoteh suspicion, and dead- | lening the many noble qualities of; head and heart which characterise! him when he is "himself." Hut it I i had been some time since he had been [ on a ,-v|tree; he was so assiduous in his ; attentions to his finance, so much inj (crested in his prostrations for Die in{troduetion of polo at Jerome Park, ho I was looking and conducting himself ! generally so much for the better, that 'all his friends began to hope, this! ' time, there would be a marriage, i It was rumored that a date in May i had been fixed for the nuptials. fcjud,deiilv as these events always occur, j and just as he had so often done bej fore, the prospective groom went off lou one of iiis unfortunate sprees. , The preparations for the wedding were I promptly suspended. The spree over, the unfortunate man once more in the full possession of his really splendid faculties, was the pic- j *.?! ?. /?r ruinrlNii ltis fil!Hlfl<l> Wl'oto. ()f-i I ""? ? fering to release him. He wrote I frankly, acknowledging that he did j not think himself worthy of her, sayj ing that, once married, her influence | over him would be all-powerful. Of | course she relented. After hist summer's Reason of polo at 'Jerome Park Mr. Bennett went to ! Newport, and started the game there. ; J lis betrothed, her brother, and other members of the family were his honored guests throughout the season at Newport. With the return to town in theantumn came rumors of the arrival from Paris of the wedding trousseau, on which the customs officials were said to have demanded duty to theamount of $!?,000. The nuptials were to be private. One day there gathi-red in the May mansion a small | but select circle of relatives and friends, and there was a fair young I bride arrayed in her spotless white, J ami there was a clergyman to make the twain once; but* there was no bridegroom. Another lutternud another forgive- J ncss. The indignant father would consent only on condition that the gr.)?>m should make a marriage settlement. The groom objected ; the laws of the State made sufficient provision. Parental consent was finally given to | the selection of another date. A wed-1 ding tour on the Continent was decided on. On the evening before the! day the old, unhappy story was rep*, at-! ed^with aggravating circumstances. \f%* I'oiihnlf Lift till* (utllCi* fill*! ladies were in tears. One of the brother* came in, lound them crying, i and asked the cdu.su. What followed is now history. There are scores of men in Now York who are ready to go on Mr. iiennett's bond as a man of even foolhardy courage, ileeorder Ifackett is one of them. Some years ago, he says, Dennett allowed Jum to shoot, at seven paces, a three cent piece, inserted in a cork, from the top of his head. On another occasion Dennett invited him to shout, at the same distance the ushtfs from a cigar in his month. }ie stood both shots with perfect coolness. Another friend of Mr. Dennett said yesterday to :i Aun reporter: There is 110 doubt ihat Mr. Dennett is sometimes excited by wine, hut far less so than is reported. From my own persona! experience, 1 once knew him described as exceedingly drunk, at a time on the previous day when J j had sat with him for a couple of hours talking upon business. I have visited j ids residence about forty times during the past year for business purposes, and have always found him clearheaded, and devoid of any trace of alcoholic effects. He is a man of remarkable mental power, and of many accomplishments. Those who think that lie does not give much attention to his paper are mistaken, lie is well! mid 11 ! f ion-! 1 I politics, ami as a proof thai the articles regarding the latter take their spirit from his suggestion, it may be noted that none have appeared since his recent absence. The furniture and decorations of a man's house are very apt to be illustrations of his tone of mind. Those of Bennett's are rich and valuable, without being gaudy. His pictures are chiefly choice sea pieces, by American and foreign artists. There is not one however, of tranquil water, or ofiships in port. . , . County Treasurers.

As will be seen by reference to his card in another column, Mr. A. W. Lynch, will on Monday next, enter upon his duties as Principal of the Johnston Academy. Mr. Lynch is of a prominent Abbeville family?a brother of our own very popular young townsman, Mr. Win. E.

During the year just past, Mr. Lynch taught the ancient languages in the Spartanburg institution of Mr. Jl. O. Sams, so well known among us. Though young, Mr. Lynch brings to his posilion not only learning, energy and high tone, but also valuable practical experience.

TO THE TAX PAYEB8 OF | ABBEVILLE COOHTY: - WE, the undereinged Countv Commissioners for Abbeville County, would respectfully represent the financial condition of the County as in a condition that requires immediate aid. The inmates of the Poor House must be provided for and the prisoners in jail must be fed, and, as there are no funds at our command, we therefore appeal to the Tax Payers to come forward and nay one Hill on tax assessed valzw. of the property of the County to meet the pressing wants of the County. According to the report of our predecessors, it will require three mills tax for current expenses but as we do not think that tne orders from the ex-Comptroller to the Auditor are valid, we therefore decline to oader the Three Mill Levy for county purposes at present, and we therefore make this appeal in accordance with the resolution of the meeting of the Tax Payers, January 8th, 1877.
