Tho Bellevills (Illioois) Deaseeras

One o. B. Hardy eloped with Mrs.
Sarah Burnett, some time in October

wife, and we believe no children, resid-
ing in this city. and Mrs. Burnett left
husband and ali her children, three boys
and girl. An illicit intercourse, the
husband now thinks, had been carried
on between Hardy and his wile some
months before their elopment, though
this he had not thought until after tho
elopment. They were neighbors and
friends and all belonged to the sauna
church. Hardy succeeded in persuade
ing Burnett to sell his lot and cabin, all
the property he possessed, and though
Burnett's wife obtained nearly one-half
the proceeds Of the sale, under cover Of
helping Burnett to remove with Hardy
to Texas. So unsuspecting were all the
parties, that Hardy and Mrs. Burnett
actually went of under color of going
down to st. Louis to engage passage for
both families to Texas. After this elope-
ment, Burnett. whose habits we're pre-
viously incorporate, took to incessant
insobriety and in a short time drank
himself to death. Last Sabbath tho
poor fellow mortal remains were inter-
red-leaving four orphan children, two

Hardy and Mrs. Burnett were both
church members, and up to tho hour Of

INDUCEMENTS FOR EMIGRATIoN.-As
a means of inducing emigrants to come to
Minnesota bill has been introduced into
the legislature the first two sections of
which are as follows:
Section l. That all persons who NAV
arrive IN this State from and afterti first
day of April A. d. 1858 and who shall
become actual settlers ia said State, shall
be exempt from all process oflaw of what
soever kind, for the recovery of any debt
or debts which they may have contracted
outside the limits of the State of Minnso-
ia, previous to said first day of April, A.
D. 1853.
Sec. 2. 10 judgement shall be rem
dered by any court in this State, nor
shall any execution be issued against the
property of any person or persons as de-
scribed in the preceding section for any
debts contracted by them outside the
State limits previous to the first day Of
April, A. D. 1858, and property shall re-
main and be exempt from judgement and
execution until the first day Of April, A.
D. 1850.
The Times thinks the Bill would do
an immense amount Of good. The same
paper suggests that the Legislature appoint
some competent person to prepare articles,
subject to the approval of the Governor,
on the resources and advantages of Mn
neso;a and that such articles be published
IN the home papers and also be sent to the
East and to the Old World for publica-
ton.
