\ LITERAL RUNAWAY MlTCH.-A capital story
is told by a Texas paper ola runaway match

had resolved 10 get married, notwithstandingth the
opposition OF parents and relatives every degree

out for friends mansion, several miles distant,

maiden. The lovers and their faithful pastor
soon heard the noise ofapproaching pursuers and
gave their horses the spur. But alas |! their ene-
mics wore better mounted and gained fast upon
! them. 1t was evident they would soon be cap
tured, when afelicitous inspiration OF the maiden
came to their aid. "Can't you marry us as we
run ?" she shouted to the clergyman. The idea
"tooh," and he at once commenced the ritual.
All parties i" covered themselves with glory,
and lust as the BRIDES father clutchcd her bridle
rein, the clergyman pronounced the lovers man
and wife. When the old gentleman first learned
what had been done he was inclined to be furious,
but being gallant old fellow, and admirins a
dashing action he soon concluded to forgive the
runaways, in consideration of the handsome and
novelmanner in which they trumphed over him.

aioLAssEs FROM INDIAN CoRN.-Mr. George S.
Kintzi, of Exeter township, Bcrks county, Penn,
called at the Office Of the Reading Gazette o day
or two ago withtwo samples of syrup or molasses,
one made from the common Indian corn and the
other from the Chinese sugar cane. The first, it
is stated, was of the colour and consstence of
the best molasscs and had q pleasant sweet ia
vor. Mr.. Kintzi tried but small experiment in
making this syrup. He took eight corn stalks,
cut off at the root and at the ear, crushed them
in cider mill, and pressed the juice out with
his hands. a quart Of sap was thus obtained,
which, after boiling thirty minutes, yielded one
pint OF beautiful syrup. The Chinese sugar cane
was subjected to the same process, and yielded
about the same quantity Of syrup, but not so
thick nor of so fine flavor as that made from
the common Indian corn.

of the disaster where it probably belongs MIR.
Bright, the head engineer, who had the laying of
the cable under his sole direction, appears to have
been the culprit. lie had put the blame upon
