Extraordinary Double Elopement.

The Holmes County (Ohio) Farmer tells this
story OF curious elOpement and its cOnsequen.
ces:
On Tuesday of last week. while standing OIL
the platform of the depot building at Crestline
waiting for the train to start eastward, we saw
train arrive from the East. The first persons we
recognized getting from the train were W. K
Scott and the wife of Levi L. johnson, of Marl
boro', Stark county. They readily recognized us
came up to where We were, and after the usua
salutations inquired when a train would leave fol
Bellefontaine. At this moment Mr.. johnson snd
the wife of Scott also made their appearance
The women instantly recognized each other, aud
without uttering wotd ''pitched into" one OF
the liyeIiest free fights we have ever been called
upon to witness. The way the ribbons, bOnnets
collars and fancy ixings flew was refreshing tc
milliners and mantuamakers. This excited Scott
and johnson, and they were so sorely grieved al
each other for running away with their respec
tive wives, that they went into pugilstic exercise
with hearty good will. A great many persons
were gathered around, but no one caring mucl
which of the parties whipped, they encouraged
the tights and laughed at the sport While the
fights were progressing, Constable Smith stopped
the fighting and took the parties before the
Mayor, and his Honor fined each of them S. and
costs, for breaking the peace.
OCOtG duU MIS- JOuuSOu. VINO nave IOr some
time been suspected Of being guilty of intrgues
bad planned an elopement, and johnson had also
planned an elopement to be carried ont on the
same day with the other parties. Both guilty
couples had clandestinely slipped off from Marl-
boro' on the same day. one party took the cars
at Alliance, and the other got on the same train
though in different car, at Louisville Station
Neither couple suspected the other until they
met at Crestline, when the feelings they enjoyed
may be imagined but cannot be described on pa
per. at
After paying their fines, which satisfied them
that fighting was an Improbable way of settling
the difficulty, they indulged in the application Of
goodly number of hard words and names to
each other, and finally separated; Scott and
Mrs. johnson taking the B. and L. Railroad, and
johnson and Mrs. Scott the p, Ft. W. and O.
Railroad. Since then nothing has been heard
of their jourDeyings.

The Bore of the Sanctum.
BIZ JOHN G. SAKE.
Again hear the creaking step!
He's rapping at the door!
Too well know that boding
That ushers in a bore.
do not tremble when 1 meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes-but never goes.
He drops into my easy chair.
And asks about the news;
He peers into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieve;
He takes the strangest liberties
But never takes his leave.
He reads my daily papers through
Before hare seen word;
He scans the lyric (that wrote,)
And thinks it quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly asks Tor more;
He opens everything he sees
Except the entry door!
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me of the pains
He suffers from score of ills
Ofwhich he never complains;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the fend at bay;
On themes like these away he goes
But never goes away.
He tells me of the creeping works
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong,
He'd like to run him through!
He says thousand pleasant things
But never says "ADIEU."
When e'er he comes-that dreadful man
Disguise it as I may,
know that like an autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day,
In vain I'll speak of urgent tasks;
In vain l scowl and pout;
A frown is no extinguisher-
1t does not put him out.

Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint to John that am gone
To stay month or more.

The stoutest of my foes;
But heaven defend me from the friend
Who never, never goes.

THE SNOw-STORM.

On the morning of the last day of the last
year we awoke and found the sky mantled in
dense leaden clouds, and a fall of soft, aeecy
snow descending. This continued till evening !;
but owing to the moisture of the earth, the snow
for several hours melted as fast as it fell. By
night, however, the earth was covered to the
depth of three or four inches. Thus the Old
Year died-was wrapt in its comely winding
sheet, and buried in the Past.
The New Year arose like bride having on
her wedding garment, adorned with pearl and
diamond and lace, and silver veil. She came
from the undiscovered country of the future,
and interlocked her own with the brawny hands
of Time, and they were welded. 1t was bright,
beautiful, romantic, nuptial-f wedding
of the gray widOwer, Time, to the gay New
Year.
How lovely are the Ways of nature! What
silent benedictions, often annoticed by US, come
down from unseen angels wings and blend with
the scenes We look upon, and the very air We
breathe

THE FARMER AND PLANTER.

The Publisher appends card to the December
number of this able and well-conducted Agricul-
tural Monthly, stating that without "increase of
patronage, it must be discontinued at the end of
the next volume" The present support is too
meagre to sustain its life longer.
We hope this enterprise will not be suffered to
fall through by the farmers and planters of the
old Palmetto State. Mr.. SToKEs-the enterpri-
sing publishers eminently qualified for the po.
Nsition; and Mr.. SUMNER, the Editor, brings to
the task rich fund of talent and experience
No Journal of the kind, within the bounds of our
exchanges, is better entitled to the support of
the Agricultural classes. 1t is, emphatically,
O home industrial Magazine-giving usefu! in
formation in the various departments Of Argicul-
ture, Stock-raising and Horticulture.
We feel free to say, that one dollar invested in
the "Farmer and Planter" will put five or ten
dollars in the pocket Of any farmer in the Safe.
1t is impossible to read it without receiving use
full hints for improvement in every branch Of
home industry and economy. The experience OF
able and practical men, therein given, is especi
ally valuable to those who are just beginning to
till the soil. The older farmers, too, who have
developed system of their own, need to be re-
plenished constantly with new stock Of ideas,
to prevent them from hardening down in course

MASONIC CELEBRATION.

On the 9th ult., Philanthropic Lodge, No. 7S,
united with q respectable company of visiting
brothers, in celebrating the anniversary of st.
John the Evangelist. In the evening process
sion was formed at the Hall, and, preceded BY
the "Young Ebony Sa1e-Horn Band" marched
to the Methodist Church, where, after very
appropriate prayer by a visiting brother, Rev.
Mr.. REYNOLDS, the address was delivered BY
Rev. L. A. JOHNSON. We regret that the wealth
er was so very inclement as to prevent general
attendance; for the address, in both style and
sentiment, was well worthy of large and atten-
tive auditory. s
At the conclusion Of these exercises, the mem
bers returned to the Hall, where the officers elect
Of the several Lodges, for the ensuing year, were
duly installed; and the fraternity INDUCED IN
the genial feast of good things which, on st.
Johns day, the Mason is peculiarly fitted to
enjoy to the brim. =

THE CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL.

We have SO repeatedly applauded the enter
prise, and vouched for the sterling merit Of the
Proprictors of this school, that we cannot add
to our concentrations without repetition. We
believe that our acquaintance with the several
educational institutions in our State authorizes
US to form an opinion in regard to them, and We
do not hesitate to pronounce DAVIDSON and BRUM-
BY's school as equal and in some Of its advan-
tages superior to any outside of Charleston.
On the first of January, they added to its al
ready commanding excellencies, the Collegiate
feature, and, besides preparing young men for
admission to the higher Colleges and Military
Academies, they now undertake to fit them for
immediate entrance upon active life. Whatever
they undertake, will be we'll and thoroughly per-
formed.

ANA ee4ahl;nhad xnlinu ruhinh 10 innnnaiakonk

borhood to Mexico, but by virtue also Of
our established policy, which is inconsistent
with Intervention of any European power
in the domestic concerns of that Republic.
For reasons stated, the President recon-
msnds the express passage Of law author
izing him to employ such military force to
enter Mexico for the purpose of obtaining
indemnity for past wrongs and future secu-
rity. Should volunteers be selected, such
q force could be easily raised. This coun-
try sympathizes with the suferings of our
fellow-citizeus in Mexico, and with the un-
happy condition of that country. Such an
accession to the Constitutional Government,
would enable it to reach the capital, and he
recommends the establishment of military
force across the Mexican line of Sonora and
chihuahua.
For protection of the lives and property
of Americans against Indian depredations,
he recommends the establishment of tenn
porary government in Arizona.
In Central America, he thinks that the
provisions of recent treaty with Nicara-
qua will not fail to be satisfactory, and re-
commends law authorizing the employ
ment of a naval force for the purpose of pro-
tecting Americans passing Panama, Mica
ragua and Tehauntepec. He again recon-
mends that authority be given to employ a
naval force to protect American commerce
against seizure and con6scation by Mexico
-ssslf-.iah- American States.
He refers to tho faiiluro of thoPost ONCE
appropriations, and recommends the pas
sage, at an early day, of a bill by Congress
which will enable the Government to pay
the amount due, with interest, to contrac-
tors. Also, to make the necessary appro.
priations for that department He recon-
mends Pacific Railroad, for reasons here
tofore given.
He says it appears from the Report of
the Secretary of the Treasury, that it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether We shall be able
to pass through the present and next fiscal
year without additional revenue. Should
a deficiency occur, he recommends that the
necessary revenue be raised by increasing
the present duties on imports.
In conclusion, he recommends to the
just liberality of Congress the local interests
of the District of Columbia.
