ELoPEMENT.-Strange as it may seem, says the
Grass Valley Telegraph IL clear of unlicensed
departure took place in our village yesterday
The parties were from Pike originally, and it was
fun to see their way of doing the matter up. The
woman has a husband living in town, who ex-
pressed his unwillingness with regard to the pro-
ceedings by clinging to her dress. The hooks
gave way, and the fair damsel went out of the
village in her petticoats.

New Haven Railroad, have recently held a meet

were cheated out of their rights by the over
issues of Schuyler. They prefer this course, in
stead of entering into litigation, which would
probably ruin them.

DIsAGREEABLE RUMOR.-It WAS rumored in our
city last evening, that the deck h ,nd of the War

soon after they were he iri mailing up a box
When the boat reached point below Prairie du

This box was dug up by the inhabitants, in which
was found the corpse of a young man with his
skull smashed in. An inquest was held on the
body-the box was identified coming from the
War Eagle, and officers were sent to arrest the
progress of the boat. We hope that this disa-
greeable rumor may prove false, but the informa-
tion seems to emanate from responsible source

Hook ASD LADDER Co.-Thc Democrat of last
evening contained an announcement which we did
not expect to see, viz: that our citizens had been
backward in contributing funds towards procuring
the necessary apparatus for the company. While
some have given literally, others have been dis
posed to give nothing. This is not right, and
when the destructive elements have swept off one
half of the buildings in St. Paul, they will say
what we here remark true. Ten dollars from
every business merchant would furnish the ncces-
sary amount. And is there business man too
poor to give this sum? 1t is dcsirous that erery
body should be interested, but more particularly
those who have property in St. Paul. We want
the mechanics to take hold of the enterprise. We
want their muscle, strength, courage. We want
their influence, and if they have money to spare,
we want that. This organization is not composed
of sectarianS, bgots, spectators. 1t is COM
pc ,cd of p sons who are anxious that there shoud
be some saf qua / rainst Gre-thn element which,
in large c.t!eS, have recently laid in ruins
millions Of d'lars of.propertv, and if the IT,
zens do not take LolI and stain the cnt ,rprize
by their money well their influence, it will
rest upon them lasting disgrace. We speak
plainly and earnestly, but what say is for the
good of the public, and not for on, good. What
say you, gentlemen? Will you aid the enterprise ?

Thirty Hours in tho Tribune's Press-Room.
To the Editor Of The N. Y. Tribune:
SIR: Allow me to give your readers a statement
of what was done in the press-roOm Of your es-
tablshment Oh Thursday and part of Friday, the
Goth and 9th instant. We commenced at 4 o.
clock A. NJ, on Thursday, and in thirty hours we
had printed and mailed one hundred and eighty
two thousand four hundred copies of The New
Tribune, or three hundred and sixty-four thou
sand eight hundred impressions. BY far the larger
portion of the blank paper was received during
Thursday forenoon, and of course had to be wet
and turned. Had this paper been all in one pile,
it would have reached the height of seventy feet
its weight, when mailed, would be about twenty
two thousand eight hundred pounds in cubcal
measurement, about seven hundred and five feet
and half its superficial measurement, if all
spread out, would be about fortytwo and quar-
ter acres; the lncal measurement would reach
about one hundred and twenty-six and two-third
miles. Yours, respectfully,

Foreman of the Press Room.

LETTER FROM IIoME.--As we were hurrying
with bundle of exchanges out of the struggling
multitude beseging the post Office, one evening
last week, we ran into the edge of small crowd
collected about a brilliantly lighted window
We thought at first they were attracted by some
display OF the ingenious shopkeeper, but wo-
mans voice occasionally uttering German, convin
ced US of our mistake, and made us raise on tip
toe to obtain a view of the centre of the group
There were couple in the prime of life, stand
ing in front of the gas burners, evidently uncon-
scious that any one stood near them. The man
appeared to be a mechanic of the class that arc
"well to do'' in the world, and his wife was
pleasant looking young woman, with perfection
of form that many 'sdelicate crcaturc'' might
envy without singing.
lie was reading letter just taken from the
Office, and, fortunately, our knowledge of the Ian.
guage was enough to enable US to understand
why his companion broke out into such frequent
exclamations. He had married his ssgood little
wife" when she was poor ,rl, working faith
fully as a servant, trying to lay up money to
bring over from the Old Country her father and
mother, whom she had left behind. Her husband
had soon discovered her ardent WISH and kindly
bidding her to keep her savings for pin money,
had gone to Swft's Office and sent over for the
old folks to come right away to their daughter in
Chicago. They had received the letter and the
passage tickets, and this was a reply announcing
the fact of their speedy embarkation. The de.
light Of the pleasant little wife broke out every
moment in some form as her husband read aloud
enough for her (and unconsciouly everybody
else) to hear. Now it was a short ascription to
God i; then an endcaring address to her husband,
upon whose shoulders her little round hand was
laid heavily; now she would smile and look up in
his face to see if he pleased too and then the
tears would burst out for every excess of Joy. 1t
was holy scene, but all unfit for the public
street, yet it had sufficient apology in the proba-
BILE fact that she could not wait until they had
taken the long walk home and everything after
the breaking of the letter was forgotten in its
contents. We turned away before it was finish
ed, for we did not care to see how the nice little
woman might feel when she turned around and

PUBLIC MEN IN ENGLAND.-l could not help
thinking, rs look around on SO many men whom
| had heard of historically all my life, how much
less they bear the marks of age than men who
have been conncccd similar length Of time with
the movements of our country. This appearance
of youthfu!ness and alertness has constantly
deceptive influence upon one in England. can
not realize that people are as old history states
them to be. In the present company, there wero
men Of sixty or seventy, whom should have pro-
nounced, at first glance, to be fifty. Generally
speaking, our working minds seem to wear ot.k
their bodies faster, perhaps because our climate
is more stimulating more, perhaps, from the
intense stimulus of our political regime, which.
never leaves anything long at rest. Tho tone Of
manners in this stinguished clrclo dill not OBJ
trude tself upon my mind as different from that
of highly educated people in our own country.
It appeared simple, friendly, natural, and sincere.
The practice Of thorough culture and good breed.
ing is substantially the same through the world.
though smaller conventionalities may differ.

PRICE OF WnEAr.-Not more than half tbe
mills Of this city are in constant operation, and
yet the supplies of wheat are inadequate, and 20
long as they remain SO, prices will continueto
rule higb,-Yestcrday there were about 5000
sacks, or lO,0O0a12, 900 bushels, at the Levee,
and an effort was made by the millcis to reduce
the rate a shade, but we believe it was no CO.
Before tho close of the market every bushel was
taken at or near previous prices. Prime red sold
ut 81 30a$l 35, and choice at 81 80; white at
81 40, exclusive of sack. The prospect for ad-
ditiopal receipts are somewhat gloomy, as 10
great increase can be expected until o rise takes
place in the upper rivers, if then. AT present,
consequently, up country dealers are doing but
little in the way Of accumulating, and when wet
weather sets in next month, and the roads become
impassable, tho supplies q majority ofthS prin.
cipai shipping points will be found, perhaps great
ly behind what might be expected.
The season too is getting short, and only six to
eight weeks more can be calculated upon before
the close Of navigation. Thus far little or no
stock has been stored for winter consumption.
and the probability is that an undsaally susli
quantity will be ct present high pEiees. .Si. Levje

The MOVEMENTS IN THE EAsT.-From what we
can gather from our exchanges, the allied troops
are about to take Sebastopol, or rather are con-
centrating their forces on the South of that fort
rcss in hopes to break their way into it. There
is no use to speculate on this subject as there Is
no telling how matters will turn. of one thing
we NAV be assured, Sebastopol will never be
taken without desperate struggle, great loss
of life, attended with enormous expenditure
of money. Reports have reached us that the AL
lied troops had made two attacks and hid been
driven back in both instances. This looks prob
able, although we see nothing to confirm the re-
port
Should Sebastopol fall, Russia has still an en-
ormous army back of her, not less than 100000
men, who, when driven to extremes, will fight
desperately for their fire. sides and homes. Every
thing considered, the state of affairs indicates
continuance of hostilities for twenty years to
come.
Bv the next arrival we shall doubtless hear of
an engagement, but how successful it will prove
to the enemies of Russia, is topic that can be
better discussed hereafter. 1t needs Napoleon
to give spirit to the scene, and to dispel at once,
the clouds of doubts which hang over the atmos-
phere.

from Natchez, Miss, for late papers. MIR. Dol

estate extensvely-retulncd home, and has now

viduals, calling themselves men. The deck hands
of the Luella and those of the Royal Arch, had a

who whipped. Perhaps it is unnecessary, provi-
