The Jefferson County Leader
Hillsboro, Jefferson, Missouri

The new Washington county paper says it is informed that Sunday evening last, the community at Old Mines, in that county, were startled by the announcement of a genuine elopement of parties residing in that vicinity. It seems that the gay "Lothario" of this transaction,--Charles SULLIVAN,--had been but two weeks previously united in the silken bonds to a most respectable young lady from Big River. A fortnight often works wonders in the history of men's affairs, and in this case certainly did. Charles concluded that his affections had been mis-directed, and on the evening of the 12th inst., he abandoned his wife and left for parts unknown, in company with the object of his later love. A Miss Adaline TROKEY was the absorbent of his second affection, and the remorseless couple are now denizens of some other locality.
On Saturday, the 4th inst., Miss Mary WINEBARGER, of Mine La Motte in Madison county, in jumping from a frightened horse which she was riding, had both her legs broken and received other injuries from which she died on the following Monday. Mis W. was about seventeen years of age.
