-Ir. Editor is it necessary TO offer any
apologies for presuming toadyertise through
the educational column the organization of
Teachers Association in the old township
of Armagh The avowed object of that
cou1a is to circulate throughout the coun-
ty matters Of general interest pertaining
to education, and what can be of greater
interest to the jealous educator than to
know that new ground is being broken and
that other hands are earnestly striving to
further his own cherished ends. Surely
then, none would deny Us hearing and
many will extend to US their well wishes
and their earnest co operation. Know then,
that in Armagh township Teachers As
sociation IS organized; and that John
Swartzel is President and Mr McCQrdy
Secretary. So much for the announcement.
Now what, Simply that some unity of
ac;iou be eftc;ed-especially between the
teachers u Memo, Uniqn, Brown and Ar.
mash. How, do you ask? First, say that
you second such scheme, teachers of the
valley, and the thing can be done, Where
there is will there is a way How many

Extraordinary Double Elopement.

The Holmes County [Oliol Farmer tells
this story of curious elopement and its
consequences
On Tuesday, two weeks ago, while stand
Ing On the platform oi the depot building
at Cresthne, waiting for the train 70 start
eastward, We saw Il train arrive from the
east. The first persons we recognized get
ting from the train were w. K Scott aud
the wife Of Levi l.. Johnson. OF Marlboro,
Stark county. They readily Recognized us,
came up to where we were, aud alter the
usual salutationa ipquired when the train
would leave for BelletontaiRe. At this
moment Mr.. johnson and the wife Of Mr.
Scott also unexpectedly made their appear
ance. The women instantly recognized
each other, and without utterlng a word
pitched into one of the liveliest free
fights We have ever been called upon 10
witness. The way the ribbons, bonnets
collars and fancy fxings few about was re-
freshlng to milliners and mantua makers.
This excited Scott and johnson, and they
were so sorcly grieved at each other for
running away with their respective wives,
that they went into pqgilistic exgreiga with
a hearty good will.
4 great many persons gathered around,
but no one caring much which OF the par
ties whipped, they encouraged the fgh,
and laughed at the sport. While they
were fShting Constable Smith stepped
up, stopped the fighting, and took the par.
ties before the Mayor, who fined each of
them S. and costs for breaking the peace.
Scott and Mrs. johnson, who have fox
some time been suspected of being guilty
of ;ntrigues, had planned an elopement,
and johnson had also planned an elopel
ment- to be carried out on the same day
With the other parties Both guilty par
ties had clandtstinely slipped off from
Marlboro on the same day zone party took
the cars at Alliance, and the other got on
the same train, though in different car,
at Louisville station. Neither couple sus.
pected the other until they met at Crest
line, when the feelings they enjoyed may
be imagined but cannot be described On
paper.
After paying their fines, which satisfied
them that fighting was an Improbable way
of settling the difficulty. they INDUCED in
the application of goodly number of hard
words and names to each other, and fnally
separated, Scott and Mrs. johnson taking
the B. K L. Railroad, and johnson and
Mrs. Scott the p, 1t. w Il G. Railroad.
Since then nothing has been heard OF their
journeyings

as its planetary phenomena, it has been 8
remarkable one, and might well create IL
the mind of a Millerite an irretragibe coG,
viction that hc had at last the date for
final prophecy. Thunder and lightning
storms have been more violent and disas.-
trous than usual. Tornadoes, unpreceden-
ted in fury. have rayaged every part of the
country. Oar western frontiers have been
parched and blighted by burning Simoons.
While one section is reaping bountiful
harvest another views its crops cut of by
tie lack Of vivifying showers Terrible
storms Of gales have swept our inland wa
ters and sea board Freshets and inunda-
tions have ravaged the country in various
quarters Meteors of unusual splendor
and size have burst III upper air. Comets
have brandished their fiery iresses. The
aurora has faunted its banners of crimson
and pearl in the northern heavens with uG-
usual brilliancy We have had rain storms
