fourteen dollars per hundred weight for cattle on

THE RUNAWAY MATcH.-The New York Ex-
press in speaking of the young heiress, fourteen
years old, who has married and gone to England
with man between fifty and sixty years OF age,
says:-
She is nearly connected with two among the
most distinguished officers in the army-was left by
her fond parent in boarding school on Staten ISL
and, with some three years yet before her to COM
plete her education in, where Capt. Shirley, late
officer in the British army, and serving either in
the field of Waterloo or New Orleans became ac-
quainted with her. Through the instrumentality,
1t is sad of the of the lady who keeps the boar
ding school, but without her knowledge or consent,
the acquaintance of this Capt Shirley ripened into
agreement to be married and to elope. He
boarded for long time at the Pavilion, but he sub
sequently became a resident of the house itself on
account of previous matrimonial connection he
had formed with the family of the lady whose school
the young girl was in. On Saturday week, the
yonng lady was permitted to come to the city on the
pretence of visiting her father, who had just been
here, but was not here then, when the marriage
took place. and Feb. 81, after having returned home
under another pretence, she again to the city,
when the both sailed In the packet ship Mediator,
for London which brought out all the facts in the
case.
This Capt Shirley is now one of the mixed COM

AGRICULTURAL.

Set out Trees. An article upon this
subject was crowded out Of the last No.
in which we invited our readers to initiate
an excellent example Of Mr.. E. S. Wads-
worth of this city, who had set out around
some his of lots, trees toS inches in dla-
meter. They were removed with frozen
earth. and will probably give him fine
shade in a few years. If it be too late for
that TO be done, then smaller trees can be
transplanted, and every farmer should
make his calculations to devote little time
TO this Important work this spring.
Ii is very singular that prairie farmers
require so much urging TO do that which is
so esSentla to their comfort. In a hot sum-
mer day, if the same amount Of labor would
then give them shelter from the rays of u
burning sun, it would be cheerlully bes-
towed in transplainting trees; and shade
will be as agreeable the coming summer
and succeeding ones as in any that have
passed.
Many neglect the work because several
years must elapse before any very great
benefit is derived from the labor; and put
ting it off single year, they think, will
make but little difference. Hundreds Of
Western farmers are now living on the
open prairie, with no shelter from the heat
of summer or the keen blast of winter,
merely from having adopted this course;
whereas if they had spent few days in
transpantng trees when their locations
were first made, they would now be en-
joying the luxury Of thrifty grove.
Do not longer put off this work. De-
vote few days to it; and if you cannot
spare more than one day, in that time you
can do considerable. Make a beginning this
spring.
Those who have already set out some,
cannot spend day or two TO better profit
than in getting more. The same time and
labor given to any other work will moi
pay 1.-THE compared with this.
