The Red Coats ON the Border.

The whole frontier along the Vermont
line is strongly guarded by British volun-
teers. Probably not less than FIVE thous-
and are already in the field, and it is in
contemplation to send out more men in
few days. Two thousand, recruited in
and around the city for immediate SER
vice, were reviewed on the Champ de
Mars this afteroon in the presence of
large concourse of people There is a
large force at St Armand, the first sta
ton this side of the line eapthe Vermont
Central railroad, and also at the St
John station, few miles nearer Mon
treal The headquarters and bases of
supplies are near the railroad, but the
line of defense extends into the interior
in either direction distance of some
ten miles. The force comprises several
batteries and two or three cavalry COM
paAies, but the majority is made up of
infantry. The troops are all members of
the militia or volunteers freshly recruited
for special frontier service against the
Fenians. No regulars have been called
out, and probably never will be, on ae-
count Of the opportunity which would be
afforded them TO desert. The volunteers,
as a general thing, are not of that ma
terial which would be likely to intim-
date u much inferior force OF the Irish
veterans who fought in the war for the !
Union and are now reputed to belong to |
ihe Fenian forces. Many of them are
mere boys-some not over sixteen years |

handling of arms When the troops ar |

A JERSEY ROMANCE.
A Young Lady Of Sixteen Runs of
with and Marrfes Her Fathers
Ex.COaehman.

/
/ That love levels all ranks would
seem to be true as holy writ, at all events
IN some instances, and in none more 50
/ than in case the results of which have
considerably agitated for weeks past GER
tain circles in the pleasant town of
Orange, New Jersey. About two years
ago, in the employ of Mr.. Elijah d. Bur
net, highly respectable merchant was
a young man of rather pleasing exterior
and address named VIM Culbert. His
occupation was that of coachman.
A daughter of his employer, Miss An
ME V Burnet, then about in her four
teenth or fifteenth year, but large and
womanly for her age took decided lik-
ing for the good-looking coachman,
which penehant, after sometime, ripened
into genuine affection. William was of
course delighted with the state of affairs,
though some considerable time elapsed
before he realized the exact state of the
damsefs feelings toward him. This dis
covered, on the principle, doubtless, that
love begets love, full reciprocity of the
tender feeling followed In the mean
while the attachment was jealously
guarded by the lovers, SO that the
parents of the girl never dreamed Of the
matter. Some business reyerses neces-
STATED the partial breaking up of Mr..
Burnets domestic establishment, and
young Culbert left, as his employer
thought, for parts unknown.
BY means only known to lovers under
similar circumstances, Miss Burnet and
young Culbert managed to keep up their
intimacy and to meet occasionally.
Finally, the young lady found it difficult
to conceal the affair, and between anxiety
on the one hand and true love on the
other, she managed TO work herself into
a severe illness. After some time she
impaired the secret to her physician, who
in turn informed the parents, who, as
might be expected, tried to disabuse the
girl of her notion, but to no purpose
As to a marriage with Culbert, they would
not listen to such thing. The upshot
was that within few weeks since Annie
surreptitlously left home, and, in COM
pany with her lover drove off to Mont
clair, where they were indissolubly tied
in the bonds Of holy matrimony by the
Rev, /. L. Maxwell.
THE sequel to this romance in real life
is the best of all. The indignant parents
were at first disposed to give the young
people the cold shoulder, but finding that
William was far above his former posi-
ton, and about to take a responsible
situation in a Newark dry goods house,
they relented, and now perfect harmony
reigns in the Burnet and Culbert domes-
tic circles. s.-New York Herald

Galignani's Messenger says this 1t
is remarkable that the preference for
everything French, which so long char
acterized the Russians and was consid-
cred among them the criterion of high
culture, is beginning to give way TO a
liking for England and the English. The
English language is gaining ground in

the fashion in the private theatricals of

In our Issue of May 10Th we wrote az fol-
lows: &C. IL. Reeve seems to have gone
over to the enemy. Prirate Information tells
us that he is noso acting in FIJI accord with

The ital cs were not in the issue above

was, and the reasons we had for making it,
We heard, from the lips of Republicans
of Marshall county, that Mr.. Reeve was as
sistiDg them in their opposition to the De-
mocracy, and that if they did not now CON
slider him in perfect accord with them, they
had no doubt that he would be so by the
time the campaign fairly opened. Added
to this, we had the testimony of numbers
of intelligent and reliable Democrats TO the
effect that the Democracy generally conce-
ded that this Mr.. Reeve had left their or
ganizaiion. They pointed to his connection
with their opponents at a recent corpora
ton election; to his letters to the Chicago
Times, wherein he openly advocated the
abandonment of the Democratic party and
urged the formation Of new organization,
led by men with new IDEAS his home asso-

Amending tsse Constitution.

On Friday last there was bill rushed
through the house Of representatives
under a suspension Of all the rules, cx-
cept the gag rule, by which it is inten-
dcd to curtail the rights of the citizens,
by making it crime and felony to
use them. We were prepared for any
thing at the hands of congress, and
hence felt no particular surprise upon
rea ling the following proceedings:
MIR. Bingham, from the judiciary commit
tee, reported bill to regulate the mode Of
determining the ratification Of amendments
to the constitution of the United States
The first section makes it the duty Of the
executive of each state whose legislature
has ratified "A proposed amendment, to GER
tify forthwith such ratification to the Sec
rotary of state of the United States.
The second section makes it unlawful for
any state officer 10 certify thereafter any
repeal of such ratification, unless an amend
mcnt for its repeal shall have first been
proposed by congress, and directs the Sec
rotary of state not to make any record
| thereof.
The third section prcscribes the penalty
for attempting the repeal of such ratifca-
tions by state authority, as Imprisonment
for from one year to ten years and n
fine of from 81, 600 to $4,000.
| Mr.. Cox objected on the grounds that
the understanding was that when the judi
ciary committee had II day assigned TO bus
| mess, no political matter should be report
| ed.
MIR. Bingham denied that there had been
airy such understanding.
Mr. Niblack moved to table the bill Neg
ativcd by % to l20.
Mr.. bingham moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill.
| Mr. Woodward asked to be allowed five
A., minutes to express his opposition.
Mr. Eldr;dge declared that there never
was a more Internal proposition than this
| bill
Mr.. McNeedy moved to adjourn. Mega
| lived.
The rules were suspended, and the bill
passed by 12s to 80.
The provisions of this bill are re-
markable principally for two things:
First, it prescribes how the people,
through their representatives. shall do
certain things; and second, it provides
an extraordinary penalty for any man
or number of men who, if they have
found themselves in they wrong, shall
dare attempt to rectify the mistake. 1t
is the revivifcation of the Medo-Persian
code, that anything once done shall
never again be changed.

Eds. DEMOCRAT:-
Our town has been the scene of con-
siderable excitement the past week,
and the fair and frail have played Il
prominent part in the tragedies that
have been enacted The wife desertion
mentioned in last weok's items was the
theme of conversation on all hands for
some time, and the general opinion
seems to be that Mrs. Carey, who has
been left by recrcant husband, to 90 it
alone, is better off in her present condi-
ton. than she would be if compelled to
live with such man as her late hus-
band. The woman who accompanied
him as far as Chicago, returned the next
day, and has been engaged most of the
week in selling the household furniture
in her possession, and not until Satur-
day, when her husband returned and
took a survey of the situation and took
possession of what goods remained, did
the fracas finally terminate. a domes-
tic scene cnsued, and the curtain fell on
another divided household. Such is
life.
On Friday case of assault and bait
terry was brought from Etna Green, and
tried before Esquire Cless. Some time
ago man and his wife by the name of
IIindman becoming tired of each other,
applied to the courts, and the gordian
knot was severed. The decree of the
court gave one of the children-a boy
to the father. One day last week the
mother took the boy, and the assistance
of VIM. Bowman, Of Etna Green, was
procured by the father to enable him to
regain possession of the boy. In the
operation, William, as was alleged, laid
violent hands on the woman, for which
unSallant act she had him arrested for
assault and battery. Able counsel was
employed IN either side, and after days
hearing Of the evidence and summing
up by the attorneys the case was turned
over to the jury. The jury hung all
night, and failing to agree were dis
missed at Z o'clock on Saturday morn
ing. A compromise was finally effected,
and so the matter ended. On Saturday
afternoon a man living near Tippecanoc-
town was arrested on a charge of hav-
ing committed rape on the person of
his sister in-law one week ago last Sat
urday night. A preliminary examina-
ton was had before Justice Cless, but
the evidence was not deemed sufficient
to bind him over for trial, and he was
accordingly released.

Saturday aftcanoon and evening; and
it is fact worthy of special mention
that no row occurred, and nothing
transpired to mar the peace and tran
guilty of our somewhat noted town.
Hon Il. Van Long, of Warsaw, was
in town on Saturday. Van is one of
those social, intelligent beings whose
like is seldom met with nowadays. We
notice that his name is prominently
mentioned in connection with the Dem
ocratic nomination for congress in the
tenth district. The Democracy in that
district can't afford to vote for Genera
Hascall, and would act wisely in giving
Van the nomination. His Democracy
and ability are unquestionable, and his
social qualities make him one of The
