For some time there had been a love affair between her and young lover LONN TAYLOR, but parental objection had prevented the marriage. These objections were removed a short time ago and the wedding set for Tuesday. All preparations had been made and the guests were assembling when word was received that young TAYLOR had boarded the North-bound train at Cynthiana and left for parts unknown. The intended bride"s grief was very pathtic. Friends did everything possible to console her, but she slipped away on pretense of wanting to be alone. She went straight to the stable and hanged herself. For several years LONN TAYLOR had been paying assiduous attentions to Miss Burns, once or twice they had planned elopement, but in each case the young lady"s sense of the propriety interposed, she beleiving that her father would finally give his consent. Mr. BURNS was prevailed upon last week to aquiesce in the marriage, and TAYLOR came to Cynthiana and procured a license. The date was first set for Saturday, the 23rd ult. but TAYLOR had the event posponed until Tuesday. the wedding was set for 10 o"clock Tuesday morning. The guests, as is the custom in the country, began to arrive early, and a in good number had assembled by 9 o"clock. The bride had retired to her room and with her maids was dressing for the ceremony, beaming with happiness. Then came the awful blow. A messenger from Cynthiana brought the news that TAYLOR had fled.
