RUNAwAYs seem to be on the

urday two horses run away with
a wagon, and but for the sturdy

the wagon caught, might have

two horses run away with another

several streets at a fierce rate,
while crowds gathered at almost
every spot, and inmates ofhouscs
rushed to the doors and windows
to sec what the excitement was.
Finally another sturdy post bid
them defiance, and said. "lhus
far shalt thou 60 and no farther"

The Misunderstanding but
strange weather this for March.
Tuesday, the LIST, came in with a
clear sky, balmy, spring atmos-
phcre, and a genial, happy sun.
Surely, winter is not over! and we
trcmble for the sake of the fruit,
for we do love it dearly. Many
peaches and other trees are in
full bloom. Still, we have heard
it said that "fruit is never killed
in March," That the saying may
prove true this season is our AZ
nest wish. Even to see large,
plump peaches in Summer timcis
enough to make one feel happy,
especially, an admircr of "thc
beautiful" Their crimson skin
so dclicatcl.y covered with softcst
down, reminds us ever of fair
maiden's checks at the age of
"sweet sixteen" before the frosts
of time have blishted and with
cred their sweetness and beauty
into bitterness and Wrinkles
Oh! the fruit! we do hope it may
fail us not.

A MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY
OF REV JOHN e BIDDLE,
DECEASED.

1t is with feelings of the deer
est qualification and anxiety that
we see efforts being made by his
many friends to secure a substan-
tial and fitting monument to be
placed over the remains of Rev.
John G. Biddlc, which lie now at
their last resting place in our ccm-
etery. 1t is a pralse-worthy object
to thus grace and designate the
place where lies the dust of one
who stood so high, and who done
so much good while living, and
whose loss would have been felt
in the best community in the wide,
wide world. Place Il monument
to his memory, and do so forth
with.
But We understand that as yet
little has been done. 1t is the
object of the young ladies ofthc
Winchester Female Seminary to
do this laudible tribute to one
who founded, we believ at least,
who had for a long time charge
of the school they attend. They
expect to raise some three or four
hundred dollars, and then pro.
cure a Monument. But, as vet.
they have only raised some $50
or $40. Is it possible that they
shall fail! No! No! Where are the
old scholars of Mr.. Biddle's-
where bis quondom patrons?-
Where his many personal friends?
