THE ELoPEMENT.-Our readers VII
find in another place full particulars of the
elopement of two persons from Springfield.
In addition to what we gave in an Extra,
we viii add that Mrs. Sanders was inform
ed of the death of w. Fl. Sanders Satur-
day morning, when she wept violently and
would not converse with those about her.
We are informed also that when she ar
rived at her home in Springfield, they were
taking the body of Sanders from the house,
when her cries gave way to piercing screams.
She took cold, in returning that day, and
has since been very sick and under the
care of a physician, but at last accounts
was not considered dangerous.

SUDDEN DEATH.--The death of the es-
Unable and excellent wife of L. A. Grant,
! Esq, which took place on Thursday of last
week is announced under the appropriate
head. In this sad event, we may properly
say, we think, that our entire village has
been thrown into sudden and deep mourn
ing. She was a highly educated lady, and
universally esteemed. She was native of
Harvard, Mass, and had been married and
! resided in this place about two years. She
had hardly passed The morning of lie ere
she has been cut down by the relentless
hand of death. How oft are we reminded
of the awful uncertainty of life Mr..
Grant has the entire sympathy of our whole
community, but even this will be but poor
offering to stay him in the present hour of
his terrible affliction. In his family light
has gone out which in this world can never
be replaced; and while we yet tarry lit

sunisble neighbor of the Argus. On sew
