Charles Albaugh was recently tried, convicted and
sentenced in Cleveland, Ohio, for robbing the mail
The Columbus (Ohio) Gazette says
Charles Albaugh is only 20 years of age, and the
events of the past few months viii fill an important chap
ter in his es history. On Christmas day he eloped with
his landlords daughter Miss German in her sixteenth
year, went to Alexandria, Penn, and was married.
An effort was made to keep the affair secret but it
was discovered by the girls parents who were highly
incensed at their daughters mprudence.
On the 28th of January, MIR. Prentss, the United
States mail agent, arrested Albaugh upon charge of
robbing the mail. He was taken to Cleveland tried
convicted and sentenced before the United States Court
and upon reaching Cardngton his way to the pen
tentary the young wife aboard the cars to bid
farewell to her convict husband. The meeting was a
painfully affecting one She begged him to keep up his
spirits, to make firm resolve to do his whole duty
while in prison. She vowed to stick to him though all
the rest Of the world should orsake him for said she
Charley, we are both young have years of hap

be known, where live happily together, and earn
an honest livelihood"
The poor girl nerved herself to the task and as she
wiped the tears away from the cheeks of her young hus
band she never whimpered.
The was full of passengers, who witnessed the
scene with fearful emotion. The conductor who at the
request of the officers had kindly delayed few moments
to give the young couple opportunity of meeting
each other at last noticed them that he could delay no
longer and the whistle gave notice that the cars were
about starting. Keep up your courage like man,
Charley, said the fair heroine and she kissed his
cheek she turned to leave him. but overpowered by her
feelings that she had thus far kept under control she

new novelty in costume, more startling and revolu-
onary than the red pettieoat says the New York Tr-
bune, made its appearance in Broadway yesterday We
refer to scarlet trousers cut far the casual Observ
could Judge altogether la Turque, buttoned closely
around the ankle, and producing very brilliant and
impressive effect. Whether it is an imported fashion,
invented, like crinone by empress, or like the Bal
moral petticoat, by queen, in ignorance on such
subjects we are totally unable to say But we can tes
tify to the combination OF Oriental magnifcence with
Occidental comfort by which they seemed to be- charac
terzed and to the grace with which, by elevation of
snndy other garments rendered necessary by the muddy
condition of the Streets they were auntily displayed
Will this new mode meet with general adoption? This
is question which it were rashness to answer. Who
can tell what will be will not be the next direction OF
capricious fashion?

inches by Bills haEounce ball. Bill was great terror
