AN ELopEMEYT SENsATIoY.-During
the past week Corinth has been luxuria-
ting in first class sensation, resulting
from an elopement wherein love laughed
at locksmiths, made mouths at stern
parents, and was soon lover the hills
and far away" with his charmer. Mr..
VIM. Goen, gay youth, was going to
marry lovely Corinthian named Miss
Ida Sawyers. Sawyers pere observed
that if he had been, properly introduced
to himself, and he thought he had, there
would be no wedding. But William
didn't propose to be 6anked. 1t was ar
ranged that the 7 pm. train going east
ward should down brakes when near
Mr.. Sawyers' residence 1t did so; the
lovely Miss Ida bounced aboard, was
rapturously received by her lower
true" and on the wings of affection both
we're borne to Tennessee. There the
silken knot which transformed Sawyers
into Goen was tied; and the next days
train bore the happy, bushing pair back
to Corinth.

A p,r.s.xr ArrAIR-Tbere are few


A PLEASANT AFYAIR.-There are few
officials more popular than our friend
Mr.. A. 8. Livermore, General Superin-
tendent Of the Mississippi and Tennessee
Railroad. AS has already been an
nounced, he returned on Saturday with
his beautiful young bride, and the EN-
ployes of the road resolved to signalizt
the event BY substantial testimonial
of their appreciation Of him as an officer
and gentleman. This determination
found shape In the purchase by them Of
a set of solid silver, lined with gold
urn, tea and coffee pots, cream-pitcher
sugar.bowl and salver--upon which was
neatly engraved: Inscribed and Pre-
scented to A. s. Livermore by the EN-
ployes of the Mississippi and Tennessee
Railroad, January 9, 1865" Besides
were a silver water pitcher, knives and
forks, butter and fruit knives, complete
tea and dinner sets of the most elegant
china, goblets, wine glasses, decanters,
etc., and superb pair of pickle stands
the latter the gift Of Mr.. Ben. X. Pul'
len, and inscribed; "a. S. Livermore
from Ben. X. Pullen." Accompanying
the gift Of the railroad employees was the
following "card," elegantly prepared at
Leddin's Commercial College, in imita-
ton of engraving, framed, and contain
ing the name of every employe:
A. S. LIvERMoRE: The officers and
employees of the Mississippi and Tennes-
see railroad take pleasure in awaiting
themselves, on this happy occasion, to
beg your acceptance OF this token and
the suhstantiais herewith, as testimo-
NAL of our appreciation OF you, as q
thorough gentleman and an efficient rail-
road officer
The presents, which had been selected
with good taste by the accomplished wife
of one of the chief officers of the road,
we're appropriately arranged in one Of
the parlors O. the Gayoso. Mr.. and Mrs.
Livermore, upon arrival, were ushered
in, little anticipating reception OF this
character. A few words explained the
"plot," and after Mr.. Livermore had
recovered from his surprise, a pleasant
hour was spent in congratulations.
We subjoin Mr.. Livermore's card,
gracefully acknowledging the kind re.
membrance of his brother employees:
The officers and employees of the Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee railroad viii
please accept my heartfelt thanks for the
handsome and valuable testimonials re-
ceived at their hands and let me assure
each and all of them that the gift is APP
preciated, especially as an expression OF
friendship and esteem from those with
whom I have been long associated in
business, and from whom / have ever
received assistance and cooperation. l
am proud to number each and all of them
amongst my warmest friends, and shall
ever remember with gratitude this hatter-
ing evidence of their regard. The happy
occasion selected by them for the pre-
sentation, / accept as compliment tc
my wife, and in her name, as well as my
own, thank them; and we wish for eact
and all of them as much happiness and
prosperity as they could desire.
