MARRIED WITHOUT GLovEs.-A few days
since. young gentleman and young lady ap
pcarcd at the parsonage of an eminent clergyman
OF this CITY, for the purpose of having their re-
spective destinies united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Everything being ready the clergy
aforesaid was about to proceed with the
ceremony, when the young lad y discovered tbl,
she was minus the kid gloves so necessary on
such an OCCASION whereupon she requested her
afianced to hasten to store and procure the in
dispeusable kids, telling him to .'be in hurry
or she might change her mind" The clergy
man. witnesses, and intended BRIDE waited some
time for the return of the youth with the gloves;
he didn't come. They waited longer, and still
he failed to pat in an appearance. The matter,
at last becoming really serious and alarming, the
clergyman took his hat and proceeded, post
haste. in search Of the truant lover whom he
found after diligent search and many inquiries

with his feet elevated on the back of chair
and very deliberately putting cigar. On bein2

she was going to change her mind" They were
married. however, at last, after two hours delay

A LION AT LARGE.-Considcrabl alarm was
caused few days ago at Nottingham, England,
by the escape of Ion from Sir Whittington s
menaSerie, which is exhibiting in the Sheington
New Market during the Goose fair holidays 1t
appears that early in the afternoon Metaui, the
African lion hunter, was parading full grown
puma, or South American lion (which is con-
sidereS harmless) the stage outside the es-
tabiishment when the animal caught sight of 4
dog held by lad in the crowd. Breaking away
from Metani it sprang off the stage on the dog
and killed it aln'cst instantly. The people fed
in all directions, and the puma, seeing another
dog at short distance off rushed at it and dis
patched it as quickly as it had done the first
Metani here succeeded in securing the animal
which was led back to the menagerie with the
dead dog in its mouth. Some difficulty was ex
periepced in opening the animals jaws to ge'
the dog away. Strange to say. the lad who held
the dog first killed escaped unhurt, nor did any
other person receive injury.

Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne
--sszz FaaF Railroad

Ihe friends of the Cincinnati Rich
mond and Fort Wayne Railroad, resid-
ing at Richmond, are very DESTROYS
that 1T should be completed as far as
this point, at an early day and as
| much fartiieras means can be provided
for the purpose. AS an earnest, OF their
good faith and interest. they propose to
take one hundred thousand dollars ad
ditional stock. if this county will raise
fifty Thousand dollars more this propo-
sitioa is regarded with great favor by
many O. the citizens of Winchester. and
it is beiiey ed that il fairly canvass ed the
amount required of Randolph County to
secure the offer of Richmond, and there
by insure the completion of the road,
could readily be obtained. The argu-
| 1nent, in favor ofsits construction, as
means of reviying business and advanc-
ing the value OF real estate in Winches-
ter, are SO numerous that very few own
ers of property Will overlook them.
If the line Of railroad surveyed nearly
twenty years ago direct from here to
Greenville, l1hio, had been made, Win
chester would have lad fair share of
the Improvements now located at Union,
in fact the road from Greenviile to I'm
ion would never have been built It
was fatal to GreenviIte, as it has proven
to be disastrous to Winchester. Win
chester has a fine chance TO recover lost
ground, in advancement, by the con
struction OF this road. Most ofthe grad
ing is done between here and RichInon d
and very little work required to put the
line in running order. The PROPOSE
ton of Richmond, meeting with prompt
favor by the people Of Randolph County.
secures the iron at once and gives Win
chester an outlet more valuable to her
than any other she has now, or can pos
sihly secure in any other direction.
An effort is being made, TO have. a
public meeting in w inch ester, to get an
expression of the feelings of the CT IT,
zens, in regard to the proposals made by
the people of Richmond, ofwhich public
noticU will be given. -ao1li5

The Grain Trade of Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune publishes It's an
nual statement of the grain. trade for
1867, compiled from the official records
of the Board of Trade. Although there
is falling off as compared with 1866,
the decrease is not proportionate to the
decrease in the crop of 1866 as compar-
ed with that Of 1864. The total receipts
estimating -four as wheat) foot up 3d.
Ti0, $50 bushels, against 81, III $50 bush
els received in 1866. and 53,622, s23
bushels in 1865 The decrease, as com
pared with 1866, is S.o30.7 95-nearly
twelve per Cent. Flour is less by some
43 600 barrels. Wheat shows an increase
of 1,I20, 600 bushels. Corn has fallen
off over ten millions Of bushels. Oats
exhibit an increase of nearly one million
"a bushels. RYE has decreased $4,000
bushels, but barley shows gain of 49,
600 bushels. as.r
This great falling off Of twelve per
cent. in the aggregate receipts, was caus-
ed by the disasters which overlook the
crops of 1866. The rains in August and
September of that year played havoc
with wheat, rye and barley--and parti-
ally SO with oats,-and the damage in
-ficted on the corn crop by the early
frosts of Septem Der and the late rains
retarded tue growth and prevented q
large portion from reaching maturity.
Tie harvest of 1867 was in nearly every
respect satisfactory one.
