A NEAT REVENGE.

The comedy of a lover’s broken vows, in which Miss Jessie MTntyre, 18-year-old daughter of a well-to-do family, obtained her revenge on the I man who jilted her is causing much [amusement at Wheeling, in West Virginia. American advices tell the story as follows | “MissMTntyro’s fiance, a young and prosperous business man named Harry Pendleton, after two years of ardent courtship, suddenly informed her that he had fallen in love with another girl, whom he said he intended to marry. Miss M‘lntyre received the, announcement with outward equanimity, but secretly plotted to obtain her revenge. She discovered her rival in the person of Miss Henrietta Aiken, an attractive girl living in the town of Bridgeport, in Ohio, just across the river. Against the protests of her parents, who were ignorant of her motives, Miss M‘.lntyre cut her hair short, and then, dooming a suit of clothes- belonging to her j brother, visited Bridgeport. Through the medium of a friend she was introduced to'Miss Aiken, who promptly fell head over heels in love with the handsome stranger. Miss MTntyre, masquerading as Mr Laurence Dessiiig, proved a devoted lover, paying daily visits to Miss Aiken’s home. One I Sunday evening the couple were sitting affectionately in the porch at 'Miss Aiken’s residence, when Mr Pendleton appeared and furiously demanded an explanation. Spurred on by her newlyfound suitor, Miss Aiken confessed love for “Laurence,” and angrily dismissed Mr Pendleton, declaring that she never wished to see him again. Two days later Miss Aiken, while on a shopping expedition in Wheeling, met Miss MTntyre dressed in a gown of the latest fashion. Recognition was mutual, and Miss MTntyre gloatingly acquainted Miss Aiken of her successful plans, for revenge. The sequel to the f comedy took the form of scratching. The girls were finally separated by the police and taken into custody. The Magistrate dismssed them with a warning, amid the laughter of the spectators in court.”
