I ELOPINIENT.—HARROGOATP..—Two offi-ers having
frequently seen a couple of pretty milliners in a shun,
1 the daughters of empeetable trsolemen, persuaded them
to take a trip to Doncaster races ; the parties assembled
there, and from thence they proceeded with all expedi-
tion to London. The alarm being given, the father of
one, and her brother, instantly posted Air them, and
on reaching the metropolis made application to the im-
lice, and a general search commenced. Fortunately, as
the father and a police officer were sitting at the window
of a hotel at the west end of the town, they ew the tars
runaway females, elegantly attired, pass the house.
They were instantly secured ; and after many tears and
intreaties to remain, were safely brought booze. ()2e

apartments for the girls, neither of whom bay° seen

At the finish of the Nth wife, Mr. Neatherfirld'sgdo-
way fell, and put an end w the rice, through a hurt it:

Among the proofs of unexampled vsgeta,inn alike
favourable to the garden and the field, every day pre.
cents to our notice. is a pear, prematurely c.st I.,tuut a
tree in the nursery of Mr. Maddock*. at Itedland,
which measures, is its lateral circontference, th;rreen
4nehes and a half. and seventeen inches longitudi-
nally.—(B.istot Mereerv.)
Seim-day week, about ten olt-lork, a fellow, when
name is John Hewett, called at the shop of Mrs. Dal-
man, butcher, in Back street, to purchase a shoulder
of mutton, and having seen the tu-at weighed, in-
quired if he could have change for a 5/. bank note.
Mrs. D. not having change, took the note to her
neighbour, Mr. Mania, of the Old Duke, who, ou
looking at it, discovered that it way a U. note of one
of our city banks, altered to a .s'. Mr. Martin, hay-
ing procured the assistance of Mr. Wm. Boffin, left
Mrs. Dolman at his house, and proceeded to the shop iu
Back-street, where they tonsil Dawes waiting for his
change. On discuverieg the nature of their basinen
with him, he attempted to escape, and beiog a power-
ful fellow, made a stout resistance; in was at length
secured, however, and on being taken to the Mansion-
house, a 1/ sate of the defract Bank of Brickdalr and
Co. of Taunton, was found in his p lon. He has
bees fully committed for trial.—(bid)

Last Wednesday, a young wan named Coombs, of
Amnioster, went into a shop in that town, and pur-
chased sows horse nail., pith which he 'Jaded
a pistol, and afterward. pees .rated it to the head of the
shopkeeper, but immediately turned the utozz:e
towards his own, and pulled the trigger; the scene
which ensued was dreadful; the brains of the unfor-
tunate man being literally scattered about the spot.
