The Orange IN. J.) ElOpement.

The facts of the following tale have been
already alluded to in this journal, but we
find circumstantial account in the cores
pondence of the Philadelphia American
Banner, written from Orange, New Jersey,
under date of April 25th:
Our usually quiet town was thrown into
quite an excitement during last week, on ac-
count of the elopement in high life. From
the various conflicting reports aaoat, gath
er the following, which think are near about
correct. The parties in the affair have here
tofore been regarded as among the most re-
spectacle in the place. The gentleman was
MIR. Dwight, doing business in NewY ork,
had resided here for some time past had
connected himself with the church, and has
been very active and jealous in all affairs
pertaining to its welfare.
The lady is Miss Sarah Halsted, ,daugh.
ter of one of our wealthiest citizens.
During the week before last, Miss Halls
ted left home under pretence of going to
New York to visit some friends or relatives.
Last week some anxiety was manifested at
her continued absence, and on proceeding
to the residence of her friends in NewY York,
and enquiring for her, were informed that
they had not seen or heard anything of her
Simultaneous with the above, it was discov.
cred that Dwight had been absent several
days, and from the developments since made,
it is thought, sailed in the steamer on the
l4th for Europe.
1t is said that Miss Hallsted, previous to
leaving, went to the treasurer of the Sewing
Circle, and procured all the funds on hand,
for the purpose of making purchases for the
poor. 1t is also said that Dwight has man
aged to get ten or fifteen thousand dollars,
by borrowing of different individuals. Re-
port says that letter has been received
from him by q gentleman whom he had
duped to the extent of several hundred dol
lars, stating that he should have his money
that he should never he seen here again
land that he should never live with his
wife again, for in short time the broad
ocean would roll between them.
He leaves wife and one child but
am happy to learn that she has abundance
of this worlds goods in her own name which
the villain could not deprive her Of Such

Of receiving the highest polish, scarcely effect

and cheap. We can hardly apprecisas at 6fst'
glance the full value of this Important discov-
cry. Nearly all theother sxtraneous products
of manufacture which for years have been held
as worthless, we knew were now turned to
some account in the economy of the age; but
that the miserable brittle, uncouth Stag, which
dropS9pm the iron ore, should be taken into
the decoration OF the magnificent palaces of

is, the stone-cutters chsel win soon be relieved

The duel in high life between the chivalric
members of the Shakespeare Club, continues to
occupy place in the conversations of the
people, although more has been said about it
already than it deserves; the lovers of law and
order are clamorous for the most energetic
means to be taken to bring all the parties to
justice, instancing the determined course which
was pursued in the case of Baker, whose con-
duct they judge on the same general principles
as that OF the duellists. AS yet all parties
have succeeded in eluding the police, most of
them being supposed to be secreted in the
city. ~

REMOVAL OF THE OxAHA IND1ANs.-Accom-
panied by their agent, Maj. Henne, these In
dia3s are now being removed to their new
home, . short distance north of Blackbird Hills,
where some years ago was buried distin-
guished Chief of their tribe, from whom the
place takes its name. On their arrival at the
place of their destination, their aunuities are
to be paid to them from the United States
Government, amounting to $4,000.
This tribe now numbers only 9O5-men,
women and children, ell told; and can only
muster about two hundred warriors, or men
able to bear arms. We are informed that ten
years ago, the Omahas numbered l6O0-twice
their present strength. But war, disease and
whiskey, have swept them thus rapidly away.

Our WESTERN FRoNrlER.-The expedi.
ton to Forts Kearney and Laramie left
Leavenworth in the latter part of May
1t consisted of four companies Of infantry
and $50 recruits, commanded by Major Ca
dy, Captains Todd, Hendrickson and 9TH
ers Captain Dunn, of the artillery, was
quartermsster and commissary. Long trains
of wagons and droves of cattle followed in
the rear, stretching out the line, so that on
the plains it looked like some mighty cara
van. The expedition was expected to reach
Fort Kearney in fifteen days, and Fort
Laramie in thirty days.
