AN ELOPEMENT STOPPING TELELEGRAPH.—OR
Thursday a Mr. Kerrison, of Yarmouth, who keeps a
coffee-shop (one of those coffee-shops in the country
conducted on the " total abstinence from all sorts of
alcoholic drinks" principle), applied, in a spasm of pre-
cipitation, at the Yarmouth station, to ascertain if his
cars sposa had not shortly before booked herself and
her bandboxes for Cambridge, Kerrison suspecting that
she had faithlessly flown thitherward to a paramour, a
son of the glue-pot and plane, who had recently been
his lodger, but who, having obtained work as a journey-
man carpenter, was now plying his vocation at Cam-
bridge. Kerrison, with piquant pain and precision, de-
scribed the lady and the two damsels, who he suspected
had accompanied her, all of whom were in plaid dresses
and identically decked bonnets. A gallant guard at the
station informed him that he had a perfect recollection
of the fugitives, then on their way to Norwich. Berri-
son hereupon calmed, and commanded the equipment of
a special train, but his ecstacy knew no bounds on being
informed that by means of a whisper and awire he would
be at Norwich before the fugitives. The telegraph was
set to work and sent on its electric ddenu, and the flying
fair, upon the instant and in spite of protestations and
implorings, were detained at Norwich until the wronged
Kerrison rushed up, and escorted them back to Yar-
mouth, glorifying the telegraph as a godsend and as a
work of miracle in the maintenanee of his rights marital.

provements and alterations have been carried out during

of the trains.

his removal to the Old Quay Dock, where he has suc-
ceeded Mr. Gayton, who has retired owing to ill health.
