The story in frfo&t* told was vltla; Mis* Ada Mc 3la'y. the daughter of the late Utcliard McClny; a wealthy and esteemed farmer md politlc'an of that county—she be lt.g 21 years of age, beautiful, accom plished and refined, a graduate of a sem inary In Lexington, KyV," met at the Virginia Springs a summer or two ago a Mr. VVm. 1*. Shelburne, *‘a handsome and polished^gehUeinan” from New Orleans. They lored any became en gaged, and were married on the 1st Inst, at the residence of the bride In l nty cotinty—the nuptial ceremony t»k ing place at noon. ‘The company in 1 attendance was got. large—but it was elegant amf aristocratic.1* Tit© after-j noon and evening were spent 111 wed- j ding festivities. But—that night the gro >m discovered that his fair bride was enc/rafe, and at one proceeded to raise the deuce. threatening to kill his wife If she did not reveal the name of her se* ducer. To save her own life she told him that Simpson Forrester was the gay dec^ivyr. lie lived hard by, was a gay gallant of 2i, a recent graduate of a Vir ginia College, and was last season a great favorite at the White Sulphur with the belles. He had been present at the marriage of Miss Mel'lay. The infuriated husband armed himself with a gun, and, folio wed by*lih» wife, visited the Forrester mansion, called his victim out and shot him down, putting a load ot buckshot into the shoulder of his en emy. Tl» young wife fainted, and ‘Stic.lburn taking a horse from the sta* ble.fled for parts unknown. Tlie dispatch thus-concludes the rtory of the a (fair; “The news, of the tragedy jsooii spread; SpeciujL Constable Holley gathered a l«ity of mena-id went in pursuit. The ex'rltement in the neighborhood was In tense. I>r. Ileallter whs summoned to attend the dying man. His wounds were dressed, but little hopesarQ-enter tained of Ids recovery. To add to the scandal, the bride gave birth in a few/ hours after the tragedy to a premature, child. No such sensation has hupjamed iu this out-of-the:way place since the dolmson Williams siiootlng afl’ray, ten years ago.” A disjwitch from t4ie same source one ilny Utvr states that the young wife died the same day. and tli.it young Forrester was-'not dangerously wounded.
