silken bonds Of matrimony, were oppos-
cd in their wish by the maternal "pa-
ricnt " of the young lady. Determined
to be made happy, the two lovers resor-
ted to the Illinois Central Railroad as
the means Of helping them out of their
trouble, by transporting them beyond
the Interference Of the obdurate neither.
But the mother bad seen too many Of
loves capers to be thus fviled, and when
the runaways were seated in the cars,
what was their surprise to fnd that
ma" had taken passage on the same
train. A "scene of course followed.
Ma endeavored to persuade her rebel
lious daug Inter to leave the youth who
had inveigled her away, but all to no
purpose. Then main strength and
awkwardness were brought to bear
but the loving couple were bound to-
gether by that inswearablc cord-love
and two large muscular and two round
plump arms. AT all events the lovers
were so strongly attached that the uni-
ted strength OF the old lady and several
passengers could not separate thcm.-
After giving her daughter several severe
slaps 10 face, head, back, etc., the moth
or quieted herself until their arrival at
La Sale, when the couple were taken
in charge by several officers Of the po'
licc--and that is all the Dixon Tele
graph knows about the matter.

my. The decision of the New York
Court of Appeals on the Metropolitan
Police Bill, sustaining the constitution.
ality of the law, was acquiesced in by
six Of the eight judges, and Eve Of the
six belong to the Democratic party, with
which Mayor Wood acts. The New
York Tunes gives the following synopsis
Of the decision -
Judge Deuio, in his opinion, exam
ines the question as to the direct constl'
tutionality Of the District and of the
method Of the appointments adopted in
tue bill, and declares that there is moth
ing adverse to the letter or ,uv v"H' S''''''
tion in either. The true remedy for un.
wise legislation is provided for in the Con,
stitution by the frequent renewal of leg.
islators There is nothing in the Con.
stitution prohibiting the abolition Of the
local police arrangements Of the city by
the legislature or the rcmodeliug of the
force in any manner that the Legislature
sees fit. The judgment of the Supreme
Court is therefore affirmed. The opin'
ion also says that other points have beer
argued, but as the judgment confirms
the constitutionality Of the law it is no,
necessary to consider them.
Judge Shankland also delivered al
opinion. He sustains the constitution
atty of the bill on all points, and also
goes into discussion to show there was
necessity Of some reform in the police
arrangements Of the city, prior to the
enac ctment Of the law, thus justifying the
passage of the bill from motives Of pub
lie good.
Judge Brown delivered the dissenting
opinion. He disscnts from the view
which declares the bill constitutional
and recognizes the division Of cities ant
counties as existing He says" Although
their limits can be altered or modife,
by ageement, and cities can be consoli
dated, yet the Legislature have no pow
er to join cities and counties into on
district for purposes of police or any 9th
er local government"

"A strange aud startling phenomenon
took place near this city just at sunset
last evening. A large cloud was seen
making its appearance, coming directly
from the Northwest, accompanied by
considerable wind. When near this
place, a dark looking cloud or substance
was seen to leave the cloud and make
diagonally for the earth. So som as it
struck the ground, contrary to all cxpcc-

s@- Missousi it is said, since the
emancipation movement commenced,
aud the hope oft becoaing free state
is entertained, is rapidly filling up wit 1,
emigrants. A person who has recently
visited the Northwestern section Of the
State, says that settlers were pouring
in there 10 great numbers, end that eV-

There are but few or no slaves in that
