been convicted at. Decatur. 0 Kalb Co ,
Ga i of seducing Miss Emma J. Chivers,
who is the daughter of Dr. Thomas
Holly Chivers, originally of Wilkes Co ,
Georgia, who, in his time, bad some
reputation as an author. . Miss Chivers
is a pretty, sprightly, intelligent girl,
well educated, and generally esteemed
above suspicion and s virtuous girl of
unexceptionable morals. She was a con
sistent member of o the Presbyterian
church of which Mr. Wood was pastor
up to the time of her fall.
: One of the arguments used by the
Rev. Wood towards the accomplishment
of bis object was that himself and Miss
Chivers were congenial ; that his wife,
whom he once ' imaging he loved,' was
unhealthy aud would soon die, and then
he would marry ur (Miss t.) with these
protestations of affection ' he repeated
and pressed his entreaties ; she remon
strated and said it was improper. . lie in
