Under the head of Newport Ky. News, The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday publishes this: On Saturday morning last, our citizens were startled by the announcement the Catholic priest who presided over the St Stephen Church at the head of Monmouth street, had left the previous night for parts unknown. The cause of his departure was soon discovered. It appears that an improper and criminal intimacy had long subsisted between himself and a female member of his congregation and which had continued unsuspected until concealment was no longer possible, when he absconded, leaving his victim to bear the taunts of the world. The female had moved in respectable circles and aside from the present affair, her conduct had been exemplary.
