--Mr. George Stoddard, a school teacher residing near Clarion, accomplished the ruin of a young girl, and when asked to marry her refused. He was arrested, and then consented to marry the girl. After the ceremony was over, Stoddard disposed of all his property and "lit out," leaving his wife in the hands of friends.
