THE TELEGRAPH BUs1SEss.-The business of tele- |
graphing though only in practical operation some
or eight years, has grown in this country with
unexampled rapidity. Lines now extend for many
thousands Of miles over the United States and mes
sages are dispatched every hour through the day
from one point to another, upon business OF almost
every kind. To show how busily the wires are en-
poyed daily, though they make no outward show Of
any kind of activity, the Philadelphia Ledger gives
the actual number of dispatches for six days over the
Magnetic Telegraph line, from New York to Wash
ington. The New York Office sent and received
37 messages from the 3lst of August to the 9Th of
September, inclusive; the Philadelphia office, 1887
messages; Baltimore, l,4O6 messages; Washington,
1905. Total sent and received in six days, r. 2l55,
over 1000 messages per day. THE is the business
Of but four Offices out Of the fourteen on the line.
CRIME IN VERMoST.-A young girl known to be
encente disappeared from johnson suddenly last fa
and had never been seen since. few weeks ago,
public attention was called to well, long unused,
fifty feet in depth, upon the property of Mr. Peck, of
| johnson, and few individuals were soon engaged
clearing it. The excitement spread when it was an.
nounced that human hair had been discovered, and
at least two thousand persons had visited the spot
when the body was at length found. Suspicious of
murder rest upon married man who left the county
about the time of her disappearance.

three to four weeks, so that when ole is

the size of the common, and the very sweet

small and set in a large quantity OF the
pulp, thus making this berry much more
desirable article than anything else of the

the ladies' greatest objection to blackberry
sweetmeats is the greatest amount of seeds
there is in proportion to the pulp.

FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS ON
sszsws ella RIVER


The Santa Fe Democrat of the 3Oth of
July, comes TO US with the particulars of
the recent action Of Col. Bonneville's COM
mand with the Apaches on the ella, said to
be the most decisive engagement Of our
troops with the Indians.
AS they neared the ella the country be-
came more level. and spies soon discovered
signs of Indians, and it appeared that the
enemy was near at hand. Their speed was
now increased, and in little while they
came in view of an Indian camp upon the
bank of the river, partially surrounded by
thick bushes. The charge was immediate
y sounded, and the troops rushed to the
fight. Lieut.. Moore led the van of the
column, charging through the village and
across the river, and taking up position
to cut off the retreat to Mount Turnbull.
Lieut.. McCook joined the head of the col
umn in tho charge, and rendered valiant
services in the action. This completely
broke up the camp of the Indians, and all
who were able fed into the neighboring
bushes, where they made their defence.
In the meantime the right column, under
1t. Col. Miles, at the head of which Col.
Bonnville marched, was coming up as
rapidly as possible. When the report OF
musketry first announced the battle COM
menced, it was about a mile and halt
from the scene of action, slowly descending
the mountain, down rocky and tushy
pathway. As soon as j. was known that
Capt. Ewell was engaged with the enemy,
the order to gallop was given, and the
charge made, Col. Bonneville leading the
van to the field of battle.
The whole command was now upon the
ground, and took part in the action. The
dragons having cut off the retreat of the In
dams to the mountains on the left bank,
the Mounted rifles charged on the right
bank, and prevented escape in that direc-
ton. The Sd and 9Th Infantry under Its.
Whipple and Steen, and Its. Jackson and
Cook, assisted by the Rifles and Dragons,
now attacked the Indians in the bushes on
opposite sides of the river. and after a
severe conflict succeeded in killing or cap
turing nearly the whole party The field
of battle extended about mile and a hall
on both sides of the ella, and was covered
with a thick growth of bushes, which en-
abled the enemy to fight with great advan-
tage.
Of the Indians, twenty warriors and four
women were found dead in the field, and
twenty-seven women and children were
taken prisoners. The loss of the enemy is
supposed to be much greater than indicated
by the dead bodies found upon the field OF
battle, as two prisoners taken after the
action both report that the camp consisted
of forty warriors, of whom but two or three
escaped. Of our troops, two officers, Its.
Steen and Davis, and men were wounded.

ELoPEMENT CAsE.-From the Shelby
VILE (Ienn.) Banner, we clip the following:
A young sprig from Kentucky, who has
been in this vicinity for several months,
became acquainted with the daughter of
one of our citizens living a few miles east of
town. A mutual attachment sprung ND
between the parties, which resulted in a
proposition of marriage. The parents as
sumed the responsibility to reject the suit,
and the disappointed lover was notified to
discontinue his visits. A secret interview
was obtained, and the young parties made
engagements to elope. Accordingly, on
Sunday night, the damsel had succeeded in
getting from under the parental roof, and
had scarcely reached the arms of her lover
a short distance from the house, when a
discovery of the flight was made. An alarm
was Immediately raised, and all hands,
women and dogs, were in hot pursuit. The
tugitives sought refuge in corn field,
where they accidentally became separated,
but the cohesive power of attraction soon
brought them together again, but not with
out losing time in the race. The pursuers
were now so close upon them that they
were compelled to drop their luggage,
which consisted Of two carpet bags, con-
tanning the outfit of two weeks cruise.
They managed to elude their .pursuers,
however, and doubles by this time have
become the victims of matrimony.

A BIT OF ROMANCE.

Ten years ago young Englishman ran
away from London, where he was highly
connected. came down to Liverpool, took a
ship that was up for New Orleans, and in
due course of time landed 80 tLiS city 18th
light heart in his breast and between one
and two hundred pounds in Bank Of Eng
land notes in his pocket. He had been a
mauUdis sWet at home, and, between
wine and women, had managed to squander
a large fortune. besides involving himself
seriously in debt. He had taken the pre-
caution to provide himself with letters of in
PRODUCTION to respectable parties in this
city, and by this means he soon formed the
acquaintance of a young lady who, by the
death of her father, had been left sole heir
ess of large estate. A warm attachment
soon sprung up between the two, and our
young Englishman one fine day made the
lady formal tender of his hand and heart.
The answer he received was the following {:
Il love you and will marry you, but only
on these conditions, and these only: lst,
you must stop drinking; I'd, you must pay
your debts; Sd, you have squandered one
fortune. you must settle work and make an
other.'' The lover entreated, but the lady
was inexorable. Just then the gold fever
broke out, and our hero determined without
loss of time, to try his fortune on the shores
of the Pacific Ocean. He sat dewn, wrote
letter to the lady, in which he announced
Not nafi n nf h
terable affection and begged her to be faith
full to him, and without further adieu started
for New York and took ship for San Fran
cisco, via the Cape. In California he led
some time wandering, dissolute life, and
finally joined the unfortunate expedition

that he was among the few who escaped to

his in this city received telegraphic des-
patch from him, stating that he was among
the fifty persons saved from the Central
America and brought into Norfolk by the
bark Ellen. The despatch further stated
that the writer had lost $I5O,OOO in gold.
which was in the hands of the purser, but
it was luckily insured for its full value in

WHAT is A SPECIE-PAYING BANK lis
1t bank which pays specie so long as no.
body wants it; but the moment there is a
special call for it, twill not submit to a
rum" From the example of Washington,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Providence, &c,
we would say that in their view this is the
proper definition of a speeie-paying bank.
If it be a correct one, the whole idea of a
specie paying bank is a humbug.-Hasl-
