or effort followed her lead in entertaining
him. She read up geology al home until
she could talk il easily and unaflecledly.
She discovered that the carl had taste for
archaeological researches, and she gave her
mind to those dusty strata Of learning with
quite honest interest. Presently he opened
u new view which she enjoyed for itself-a
view Of the annals OF the ancient house of
Eden, concerning which he had masses of
documents, of diaries and letters, illusirl
tive ol the most fascinating periods Of Eng
lisl history. Anna loved old old family
chronicles. The Eastwood traditions of the
great civil war, in which the Vineyards
took the loyal side, and suffered previously,
were very full. One Of her labours during
the last year nj home had been to draw out
and illuminate genealogical SIENNA of her
family. Twice, from the old records she
followed, ii appeared that the houses Of
Eden and Eastwood had intermarried-a
precedent which, hcing dcxtcrously brought
under the Earl's notice by his cousin, stimu-
lated his courage, and prccipitatcd the event
she desired To sec.
When the Earl spoke, Anna was not takeu
by surprise. She had the example of her
progenitors before her, and She affected no
difficulty about initiating it. When the en-
gagcmcnt was concluded, and ratified by
her mothers consent, II appeared 10 her as
if this was what she must all her dull life
have been growing and drifting up TO.
1t would be Il long story to tell how An
mas kinsiold and friends marvcled and NOR
allied over her lot At Eskiord and ut
Brackenficld, where her character was
known, there was no doubt but that, as she
had chosen it deliberately, so she would
wear it contentcdly. Her mother was salts
fed. The carl might be eccentric, nervous,
rccusive, and poor, but he was an honest
gentleman, and would give her u refined and
sufficient home. Her brothers, Gcoiirey and
Maurice, were amused that Anna, tircsomc
Anna, should achieve such rank and dignity
and Lois looked up TO her for startled mo-
ment as if she expected her to turn all at
once into something lofty and unapproacha-
bic But she went about prosy and placied
as ever, and the Ferguson girls, who had
been struck dumb and cautious at the first
report of her conquest, reconcilcd themselves
to it and to her, and allowed that she would
become the position very creditably.
Confidence and affection increased between
the two the more intimately they became

AS We stated on Saturday, the aggregate
amount of the public debt, less cash in the
Treasury on the LIST inst, was 81, ,492, 7s3,
;'i5,o5, decrease of about eighteen and II
half millions of dollars during the month of
August. 1t is just two years since the debt
attained its maximum. On the LIST of Sep
llenher, 1867, our Government owed exact
Y ss,7a7 ,Gs9,a1l ,l3. In the last two years
lhls total has been reduced by liquidation OF
~ ,9OG, 2oG, 49, the greater portion of which
reduction was made in the past year. This
result is all more gratifying because unexpect-

anu the increased expenditures on account

seat Just vacated near the black man. The
party of the first part grew pale with added
feeling, and said, s'Do you prefer to sit by a

Monument Funds.

The subscriptions upon the books of the Fin
ancial Agent, are liberal beyond our expecta-
tions, thus far. If one half of the voters of the
county subscribe as literally as the voters OF
Rutland and Deer Park, the work can be carried
through most successfully.
Inquiries are frequently made in reference to
the early one dollar subscriptions. The men that
gave dollar then, have many of them given from
five to twenty-five more now.
There was paid into the hands OF the Treasurer
some $500. The balance is in the hands of those
gentlemen that collected it in their respective
neighborhoods.
The Treasurer has held it subject to draft at
any time. 1t is a fund absolutely necessary to
meet many little expenses that must arise in in
augurating such an enterprise. Every dollar
shall be applied as prudently as possible If the
subscriptions 90 on as they have thus far, the
Monument is a certainty. The members of the
Committee would be most happy to be relieved
from all thought and responsibility as to the To-
cation and many other questions-we should be
most willing to have the subscribers settle it for
themselves. We have no ares 10 grfad We
simply wish to locate it where the people want
it, and to build as they want it.

Mysterious DIsa ppearance.

The people of the town of Rutland, in this
county, are greatly excited in reference to the
strange disappearance of one of its citizens
young man named David Grove. son of the late
Joseph Grove, of that town. About 10 o'clock on
Wednesday morning OF this week he took out his
team and went to an adjoining farm for the pur-
pose OF blowing corn. On arriving there, how
ever, instead of going to work, he put his team
into the barn, taking off the brides. and left as
was supposed, to return home for some purpose.
But instead of returning homeward it seems he
started up the Chicago road, in an opposite di-
rection, and was seen to pass the residence of Mr.
W. l.. Dunavan about II o'clock, since which
time no trace of him can be discovered.
The young man was occasionally subject to Sc
we're pain and spasms from neuralgia affection,
and 1t is feared his disappearance is connected
with one of these attacks, though he showed no
symptoms of the attack on the morning he left.
The people of Rutland and of part of the ad-
Joining town of Dayton have turned out in large
numbers and are making thorough search, both
on land and in Fox River, but thus far have been
unsuccessful.
The missing man was about 81 years of age, of
dark complexion, and had on when he left blue
cotton overshirt and chip hat 1t is barely posi-
bic that, in a fit of mental alteration, he may
have strayed off some distance, and any informa-
tion in regard to him, and that may tend to clear
mp the mystery of his disappearance will be most
gratefully received by bereaved mother and
many sympathizing friends. Such information
may be addressed by letter, to Mrs. JOS Grove,
or TO Jesse Green at Dayton p. o., La Sale CO.,

in this market. They are of the varieties
known as the .Agricukurist and the Shaker, and
average about an inch in diameter and an inch
and half in length Mr.. B. proposes to have
acre or two of them in another year-By the
way instead of one acre and two hundred bush.
els of strawberries, which we gave in our last as
Mr.. Brushs crop this year, We ought to have
said two acres and about three hundred bushels
Mr.. Netf, from his gardens in West Ottawa,
has also given some splendid specimens of the
Agriculturist and other choice varieties He is
cultiyating all the best varieties, and will have
abundance of plants for sale.
From Mr.. David Beck, of Farm Ridge, we
had box of the largest Wilson's Albany we

ASricuturst and Shaker in size.
