AN ELOPEMENT CASE.
An Uncle Hopes with His Niece.
Almost Fatal Denouement,

Quite an excitement was raised on the
streets of our usually quiet town on
Thursday last, by an occurrence OF an
uncommon nature in this vicinity, the
facts of which, as near as we could learn
them, are about as follows 1t seems
that the tender passion had an existence
in the breasts of couple of parties of
the opposite sex, (relatives, unfortunate
ly--an uncle and neice,) living near
Grenada, and such thing as marriage
between them would not be entertained
by their relatives, they determined to
take matters in their own hands, and ac-
complish their wishes by the on y method
knowns to them-elopement. Accord
ingly, with that intention, they took the
freight train on Wednesday last, when
everything seemed to favor them, and
arrived in this place in search of par
son and license But in this case, as
in others we have heard of, the course
of true-love was somewhat rutfied-no
license could be had-the cruel laws of
the State of Mississippi forbid it Mean
while time sped on The relations
more particularly those of the young
lady-had started in pursuit, and on
Thursday at noon the never failing ex-
press, upon which the unhleached Gull
ford is always to be found, ready to carry
passengers from the depot to our town,
arrived freighted with the party antago-
nistio to the wouldbe marriage. Matters
were soon brought to crisis, as it did not
require the argus eye Of Metropolitan
policeman to spy out the stopping place
of the fugitives. On learning of their
whereabouts, the pursuers Immediately
proceeded thence, and meeting the
would-be bridegroom, made most muir
derous attack upon him, in which he was
somewhat injured, and but for the inter
ference of outsiders would no doubt be
now on the other side of Jordan. As it
turned out, however, the frightened lover
managed to make his escape, and the
last heard of him, he was going at the
TOP of his speed through the woods, mi
nus his hat The lady in the case is
now in the custody of her friends We
suppress names.-Pdnola Star.

however, that new company was
formed, and includes some Of the most
influential men in Halifax. They are
now having built dam round the base
of the island, for the purpose of cutting
off the water from the subterranean
channels, when they propose to pump
the water ont Of the excavations already
made, and follow the channel to their
termini. 1t is expected that the dam
will be completed the present week, and
the company now feel sanguine that
Kidd's four millions of gold are almost
within their reach
such is the history of the Toilers Of
the Isle" That stupendous work of
art has been constructed at Oak Island,
by unknown hands, is certainty. That
most of the material used is indigenous
to that region is also certain. What
these works were constructed for, and by
whom, and what they contain, alone re.
main mysteries, which let us hope will
soon be cleared up.

FROM VIRGINIA.
Restoration of the Washington
Statue at Lexington-Address
of Ex Governor Letcher.

LEXINGTON, Va, September ia
celebration took place at the Military
Institute, Lexington, Va, on Monday,
on the occasion of replacing the statue OF
Washington, removed by Gen. Hunter
during the war.
Ex-Governor Letcher delivered the
ceremonial address, which is quite
lengthy. He speaks of Governor Pier
pont in the following terms, and, consd-
ering the radical course of that gentle:
man, there is as much of this as could
have been expected: .
"The friends of this institution are
greatly indebted to the Executive of Vir-
ginia for the zeal, promptness and pub
lie spirit displayed by himin securing its
establishment and aiding by all the
means in his power its reconstruction.
We honor him for his services in this
behalf, for the aid and encouragement he
has given, for the important and valuable
services he has rendered to the great
cause of scientific and practical educa-
ton. In the name of the Board of Visi-
tors | return him our thanks
OF Gen. Grant, he speaks in respect
lul, III HOt COTuiui tciHiSi pit thio 10 "'i hN
says on the subject, and concludes as
follows:
:" In closing this branch of my imper-
feet address, it is duty and pleasure to
thank the general commanding the army
of the United States for the interest he
has manifested and the favor he has
shown in furnishing the arms necessary
for the successful operations of the in
stitution, and in restoring the cadet bat
terry.
There was much, says the Times, in
the address that, il not harmful, was at
least Inappropriate Letcher INDUCED
in long excuse for the South, arguing
the question in way entirely natural in
a Southern State Rights Democrat, but
ending in sensibly renouncing the heresy
as practical question.
In worse taste than that was the full
some eulogy of jeff Davis, which was
dragged into the body Of the address
without the least necessity therefor. The
following is his closing paragraph on
the reconstruction topic:
A majority. in the two Houses OF
Congress has denied representation TO
the people of the South Let us not,
however, despair on this account An
act so wrong in itself so utterly indefen-
sibe, cannot be justified or excused
either on the score of principle or poll
CIV. This will correct itself, and, ere
long, the people of the South will have
their rights fully recognized. Let us be
patient, and all will yet come right.

at an expense twice as great as the value
of the house itself Among other ex-
travagant notions which he INDUCED in,
was the resting of his body on set Of
parlor furniture which cost only $l2, 600.
His fair daughter Fanny inherits his
Roman nose, general cast of feature,
and his extravagant notions, and has
been in the habit of annually spending
small fortune in dry goods and tiliing
hoops. Last winter the house of Mr..
Isenburg was burned down and Miss
Fanny lost great portion of her ward
robe. 1t was fortunately insured; but
for some reason the insurance compa-
nies refused to pay the bill and the case
has got into the courts and among the
papers which came up for examination
is Miss Fanny's schedule of clothing and
its value, the total Of which amounts to
