One of those romantic and exciting occurrence
that occasionally happen 20 small places, as we'll
as large Ones and which usually furnish plenty of
gossiping, has recently come off in our town II

Young folks love each other, the ladys parents
object to her lover, and urges her to marry an
other suitor whom she docs not love. Mr. Joseph
Il. Smith, who is a printer, with Miss Able b..
zanson left here on Monday evening, for some
point in an adjoining State, to be united in the
bonds OF wedlock. But the best part il still to
come. The ladys parents lived about eighteen
miles from town, aud Mr. s. in town. The gentle
man whom her parents wished her to marry was
coming to town 10 court and offered to bring her
along She seemed 10 favor his suit on the morn
log in question, and when they arrived i'll town,
and he left her at her uncles. she told him to be
sure and call for her the next day 10 return home
But when he does come, which he will undcubt-
edly do to-day, he will find the cage door oppu.
aud the bird flown with his rival. 1t is our prayer
that neither of them will regret the steps
they have taken.

Apprentices BOYS may be properly

chastised by their masters for bad conduct the
law placing them in the position of children, and
parents during their apprenticeship. If an in
dentured apprentice is cruelty treated, or is not
taught his trade, the master is liable 10 prosecu-
ton. A case came before the Mayor yesterday, of
a negro apprentice who had been taken from his
master ty his mother, because he employed
about an engine, instead of being put to work at
the carpenters business. The boy at once
turned over to his master to be dealt with as he
deserved and the mother given to understand that
improper interference on her part might lead him
into trouble. Apprenticeships now are not what
they were twenty years ago. and do not know
that boys have been at all improved in morals or
industry by the change.

HEAVY Moses Dewitt I

keeper of grocery Byrd street, appeared before
the Mayor yesterday TO answer the charge of re-
ceiviug three or four hundred pounds of old iron
and brass, knowing the same to have been stolen
from the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Com
pany. The prisoner was prepared TO prove that he
purchased the metal from James Cuiton, a white
man, who also sold lot of old metal to Messrs
Ettinger & Edmond but who Culton is, no one has
yet been able to ascertain. In searching TOR the
stolen property several pieces of railroad iron were
found, but one could swear positively to :heir
Identity The complaining company has been
robbed of metals on several occasions, but have
not succeeded in discovering the rogues who must
have operated in the day time. In order to ascer
tain who they are, and in the mean time, to get
hold of one or two other persons charged with be-
ing engaged in the same offence. the Mayor has
postponed the investigation until Friday, and ad
mitted the accused TO bail for his appearance.
