Portsmouth, O., Sept. 10. - John Swords, a prominent citizen and farmer of Carey's Run, has notified that his wife has eloped with Rev. David L. Webb, an intinerant preacher, who for several months has made his home at the Swords Residence.

Rev. David J. Webb was found guilty, at Portsmouth, of bearing illegal relations with Mrs. Eldora Sunds, wife of Deacon Sunds of the Carey's Run church. A workhouse sentence is probable.
