A RUNAWAY MATCH.

We met with a couple, OH Saturday last, on
their way to Maryland TO get the aid of Minis
ter of that State to relieve them of their then ex
listing emergency. They were from the comfy
of Rockbridge. An obstinate "Pa," not willing
to permit them to be made one, they resolved
to take the matter in their own hands. The
groom gave us detail of his trials on the way
At O'Clock at night he conveyed the fair one
from her fathers domici IN a Buggy which
broke down few miles from his starting point.
She was then placed behind him on horse, or
which way they travelled to Staunton, 90 miles,
where they took the Stage for Winchester
thence the Rail Road 10 Frederick city. The
intended groom seemed very solicitous for the
speed OF the Engine-but we quoted his fears
by assuring him he was too far in advance of the
cold Gentleman" and offering our aid in case
OF an exigency. He exhibited great care and
respect for his intended and we doubt not will
prove himself worthy Of her.
BY the way, our Laws are defective upon the
license subject. We drive from our State those
who are determined to marry, and with them a
large amount of revenue during the year:

1t will be seen that Mr.. Shelley offered a res

The Convention Question.

We are pleased to see that the Richmond En-
ouirer Richmond Examiner, Petersburg Repub-
lican, Lynchburg Republican, Charlottesville
JefTersonian, and Warrenton (Fauquier) Flag Of
;9s, are warmly advocating the call for Con-
vention to amend the State Constitution. This
is a cheering sgn-the influence of so many
prints in Eastern Virginia must produce good
effect, which, we hope, will result in the passage
of a BILL this winter authorizing the sense OF the
people to be taken this subject We notice,
too, that the Richmond Wing, though admitting
that the Constitution is defective, thinks that
'sinnovaion is not improvement" and conse-
quently gives to the call but lukewarm sup
port, thinking that when the schemes OF i'm
provement now in progress, are completed; that
bone of contentious the basis question, will dis
appear, and that Convention held them when
the present schemes of improvement are com
pleted-can the editors OF the Wing tell when
that time will arrive = would be attended "with
happier resuts.0 We can tell the Wing that
abone of contention" will never disappear I'M
less fairly and honorably compromised, for we
believe the West would compromise that cues
ton on account of the great good that would 9TH
erwise result from the amendments that would
be made in the organic law-and we feel no hes
itancy in saying to our Delegates that their con-
stituents will sustain them in voting for any
reasonable and equitable compromise. Eastern
Virginia can get better terms from the West
no,u than if she waits until the West force her
into Convention.
While on this subject Of a Convention, we may
as well remark, that our neighbors OF the Spec
tator care prepared to second the Governors
views in regard to the call of a Convention, be-
cause they think the present Constitution mate
rally detective but (they) might differ with
him as to the extent of REFORM" We wish our
neighbors had informed their readers in what
they considered the Constitution materially de-
fective.n The people, we have no doubt, would
be glad to learn the Esextent" to which the edi-
tors OF the Spectator would be willing to go
whether their conservatism would permit them
10 advocate the election OF ALI. THE OFFICERS
BY THE pEopLE-whether it would permit Them
to advocate rcmodelling of the County Court;
whether it would permit them to advocate the
extension OF tie right of suffrage 10 ali free white
male citizens over the age 81 years, subject; OF
course, to proper restriction. II the people are
capable of self-government, the editors OF the
Spectator must go to this 'EeNtent," otherwise
they had better oppose the call OF a Convention
The people will not be satisfied with less.

1t is fact, perhaps not generally known, TO
raisers Of Sheep, that wool which has been tub
washed, will not command in market a price,
10y taro or three cents per pound, equal TO that
which has been washed on the sheep, before
clipping. The reason is obyious-lhe wool be-
comes matted together, while the eAe 1--WE be-
lieve it is termed) is destroyed, when washed in
warm water, and the wool is not so suitable for
manufacturing purposes. Better not wash at all
than tub-washst. Wool should always be wash
ed in cold water, if itmust be washed, before
sending it to market.
