Mr. Barron failed, and was reduced to comparative poverty. He had two daughters. One of the young ladies, with, heroic fortitude and de votion, determined not only to support herself, but to do something lor the maintenance of. the iamily, and push ing on to Cleveland soon succeeded in finding employment as a teacher. Miss Barron met her evil fate there in the person of a young married man named Williams, the son of a wealthy gentle man; though he himsen was a banK rupt. They became enamored of each other. One day Williams went to the river to bathe, leaving his clothes in the boaL He never, returned home. The next day the boat and clothes were found, and all Cleveland bewailed the fate of the young man, who was be- leved to sleeping beneath - the dark waves oi the f Cuyahoga river. The young lady had previously disappeared from Cleveland and returned to Rut land., ' A day or two after Williams' death " he, too, appeared at the home xl . .i .7 1 1 . j i oi mo gin, a- marriage waseieDraiea, and the parties started out on their wedding tour. This was on the 14th of May last. Since then they have not been heard from, but it has been knowTn for some time that the fascinating and accomplished " Willard Sheldon' who married Miss Rarron and the drowned young Williams, of Cleve land, were one and the same party. It has transpired too, that young Wil liams forged his father's name for large sums of money, and it is surmised that upon the fruits of this rascality the parties are living' in Europe.

In regard to his po litical consistency, he acknowledged that he had sided with the South dur ing the war, but not until the last'hour. when he saw that the South had taken the fatal step, and further opposition would not avail. He conceded this to have been an hour of weakness, but, like other men, he was fallable. i As to the sobriquet of "sugar," which, his opponent had so generously given him, it arose, it seemed, out of a speculation which he had once made on a few bar rels of suirar. the profits of whichiseeni ed to grate harshly oh the avaracious soul of his competitor. He was much obliged to him, as in the case of "wo man's rights" becoming established in this country, they would never fail to give their suffrages to a "sugared' man.
