A Married Lady Elopes with Dash
ing Young Man-Phllosopbical Cool
ness of the Husband.
From the Fort Wayne Gazette, 2sth.

From the Fort Wayne Gazette, 2eth
Until quite recently an old and respecta-
bic citizen of Fort Wayne, residing on
Lewis street, east of Calhoun, had buxom
wife, fair, fat and forty. She had been Wild
ow, and had three children by her former
marriage. He was well to do. She had a
comfortable home, and apparently all the
happiness that mortal woman could desire.
The city has also besn honorea for two
or three years past with the presence OF a
hansome and dashing young man by the
name Of Carter. who worked for while
at spoke factory south of the railroad,
and who was gay. gallant and special IA
vorite among the ladies'. Rumor has it that
he has left wife and two children at some
point in the distant east, but of this We
are not certain.
Carter and the aforesaid lady became &C
quainted, and one of the consequences was
that Carter took up his residence at the
lady's home, On Lewis stree, ;s boarder.
This was perhaps six weeks ago He was
very gentee boarder, at least in the opin
ion of the lady. ami was ever ready to
escort her to church, and to such other
places as it is customary for ladies to 20
under escort. His pleasing manners. siyl
ish clothes, and genteel appearance, made
him desirable company at any time, es-
pecially among the fair sex.
Soon after the appearance of Garter at
the house on Lewis street, people began to
talk. People will talk, you koow. "
The talk was that Carter and his land
lady were a little too intimate, and pre-
dlctions became general that mo good
would come of it.'' The husband, even,
became suspicious, and watched the case
closely; but if he discovered anything
wrong he kept the discovery to himself.
Some time last week Carter left. One
day this week the lady received letter
from him, from Sandusky, we cant say.
But she got the letter, and its contents
were so satisfactory that she at once con
cluded to pack up her clothes and 60 to the
writer Making her intentions known to
her husband, he gave her $500 or $4O0
and his blessing, and allowed her to de,
part. She took two of ker children with
her. The philosophical coolnsss Of the
husband is admirable. -. .-.-
That's about all there is of the story 1t
present. 1t is told more in detail and with
greater embellishments at the tea parties
and sewing circles in the East end, /" but
we amt good at embellishments, and We
don't like to go deeper into particulars,
even if it were necessary. Where the fu
gitive couple are now, how they are en-
joying themselves, and how the man will
abandon the silly woman when he tires OF
her, and leave her prey OF misery, shame
and remorse, the reader may imagine. -
The times afford too many instances of the
kind.

r@- We paid visit yesterday to the
foundry and machine shops of Smalley &
Sons, and we found there something new
for this part of the country, being steam
threshing machine. The engine is ten
horse power, and can mako the machine
think the world is drawing to close by the
way it makes it run. E. j. and p. j.
Smalley have charge of that line, and are
agents for all kinds of farming utensils. We
then took glance at the pillow shops, and
found that Herschel and Clarence we're as
busy as bees in turning out plows, and We
think they can ''rig up" plov as good
the next one, if not better.

Va Non-paying subscribers are thus
talked of by a Western editor, who ex.
press our sentiments fully:
"Wagons cannot run without wheels,
boats without steam, bull frogs jump with
out legs, or newspapers be carried on ever
IastiDgly without money, no more than a
dog can wag his tail when he has none.
Our subscribers are all good, but what good
does mans goodness dc when it don't do
any good? We have no doubt everyone
thinks that all have paid except him, and
as we are clever fellow, and his accc unit
a little matter, it makes no difference.

The North Side School Meeting.

At the annual school meeting on this
side, last Monday evening, Mr.. Thos.
Robinson was elected Treasurer of the
District, and R. D. Smart was elected
Clerk, to gil the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of VIM. F. Eldridge.
A tax of $4,000 was raised, to meet
teachers wages and incidental expenses,
and tax of $4,000, was voted to build a
school house. Under the law this tax
must be raised in three 81 900 installments,
$4,000 each year.
1t is possible that this tax may be de-
feated on account Of some irregularity
growing out of special law governing the
the raising of money to build school
house in this district, but VIC hope not. 1t
is certainly time that something was done
to put our school house in better shape
than it now is.
The outgoing Treasurer, Mr.. Peter
Johnston, reports in his hands some seven
ur eight hundred dollars worth of tax cer-
tifcates. Why do not the Board give
those certificates, to some man for building,
a small school house, to be used only for
small children, and locate the thing towards
the outskirts of the district, and thereby
draw from the school-rooms now used,
about 100 of the small children? This
would give all more room, and would not
only benefit those who remained in the old
rooms, but would also be doing but justice
to large number of small children who
now either do not go to school at all, or
who are obliged to travel much too far.
We refer principally to those children who
live outside of the village corporation. We
must either do this, or the parents of those
children, will be justified in asking that the
school partnership be dissolved. and they
will then build school house themselves,
and will also have the consolation of know
ing that the enormous school taxes which
thsy are called upon to pay, and not be
used to educate the children OF people who
live in the village part of the district.

being nothing less than small apple tree
with siaty-three apples on it. The thickest
part Of the tree only measures about one
inch through, and at the top does not
measure more than half an inch, and has
not more than half dozen small branches
to hold the apples. 1t seems hardly posi-
bic, but nevertheless it is fact. The ap>
pies are now about the size of good sized
plum.
By the way, Jake has some more of the
same kind in his garden, and we think that
he might be induced to part with them for
