Our town was thrown into quite state
OF excitement on Friday, the 22d inst, on
account of rumored elopement of John
Adalr, with young lady of sixteen sum-
mers, by name Hannah Ross. both of this
place since which time the rumors have
been confirmed, and the facts as near as we
can learn them, about as follows:
On Thursday, the Dist, Mr. Adair and
his wife went to Plymouth in Marshall
County, where he had formerly lived. for
the purpose as his wife supposed, of visit
ing his friends and to dispose of couple
of horses and buggy. After arriving at
Plymouth and spending a few hours there,
he left, to go into the country, as he allcg-
ed, for the purpose of disposing of his
property, promising his wife to return in
two hours. DEVASTATING his time his wife,
from some cause or other, suspected his
treachery; returned to this place only to
find her suspicious confirmed; for on her
arrival she found missing his clothes and
portion of her own, taken off by stage,
the day she returned by an accomplice, a
yery nice young man by the name of Austin
McFall, who accompanied Miss Ross to
the whereabouts of Adair. Having left in
something of hurry he forgot to settle
for the buggy he took off with him, and a
claim he owed MIR. Rannels; he was pur-
sued and overtaken at Valparaiso in Porter
Co., where he forkcd over, and then, ac-
companied by the deluicd girl and Mr.. Nc.
Fall bent his way westward.

Walker appeared very happy to meet Gen.

reciprocated the friendly sentiment Who

consented 10 do that same evening at three

clared in the most emphatic manner, that
the constitution should be submitted to the
people for their endorsement or Reputation,
before being sent to Washington, and that
every man in the territory should have the
privilege of voting.
This is all gan,mon-the basest decep-
ton imaginable. The whole object OF
tina SIavsocrats is to get the Free State
mon to agree to vote and thereby acknowl-
edge the legality of the bogus Legislative
enaetments. The rest can easily be fixed.
Fit. is the intention to allow fair election
why are they SO tenacious about conducting
it according to the bogus laws. Every one
knows with suchscoundrels composing the
election boards as the bogus laws provide,
there viii not be any fairness in the election.
What such men will not do there is no use
hunting any one else, even inside the peni-
tertiary walls, topcrform. We are aware,

in promises, but they are only made to be
broken Its by such deceptive snbterfuges
they have managed to keep in power In In

sufficiently we'll acquainted with them to
understand when they promise to be hon
est that they only mean to rob them the first

board, were hoisted oat, and one man took pos
session of each, provided with lines, bait, oars,
and short-handled gait to be used in hauling
the larger FISH over the side after being drawn up
to the surface by the hook and line. Each boat
pursued different direction, and after making
the distance of from half mile to mile from
the schooner, they.commenced to fish. while
who remained on board did the same We caught
some fish all around, bat as the success was not
whrt we had expected, it was decided to weigh
anchor and put out to sea, until we should reach
the Northeast edge of THE Jeffries," about forty
miles or so from Cape Ann light.
The wind was fair, and we made good progress,
and quite early in the forenoon we found, by the
depth of water and samples of the bottom drawn
up by the lead, that we were in about the right
spot. The sails were lowered, aud the anchor
dropped again, in thirty.fve fathoms of water,
and soon all hands were again at work fishing,
both from the dories and the schooner, 1t was
very pleasant sight to witness-our little craft at
anchor there upon the heaving tide of the Allan
tic, out of sight of land, and.the hardy men who
had brought her there testing up and down in
their frai little fat-bottomed dories, lowering
around her like mere specks upon the water,
and anon lost entirely to the eye. With
the good glass which was with US on board,
we could perceive that one of our crew had
found hfs match in a stout halibnt, and it looked
little doubtful for some time whether or not he
got into the boat. But human strength, if not
the greatest, proved most available at that time,
and the huge fellow was soon safely slowed in the
bottom OF the boat. At noon, signal was made
by our cook for the boats to come in. and dine,
and one after another they came alongside, the
fish were taken out and thrown in large heap
upon deck, and all hands went below, where
bountiful repast of good and wholesome we'll

LOOK Our FOR THIEVES AT the fremen's
muster at Lowell last year, very large amount
of property was stolen from dwelling houses in
various parts of the city. We hope such may not
be the result in this city. on Thursday and Fri
day, and, to prevent any such losses, the City
Marshal particularly requests that housekeepers
will not leave their houses unguarded, and that
shopkeepers will use more than ordinary care in
protecting their property. A little effort on the
part of our citizens, aided by the police, who will
keep sharp lookout for rogues, may prevent
considerable mischief. Again we say, look out
for thieves People who go into the crowd
would do well not to carry money or other valua-
bles with them.
