SENsATIoNAL.-Our city is not exempt
from sensations adventures. and occasional
lelopements. with the latter, however, We
have but little. experience. We are called
upon at this time to record plot for the
dramatist or novelist, which in startling ad-
ventures, and exciting tableaux, may not be
excelled. q
The scenes here depicted actually occurred in
this city during the fore part of last week
We first discover the heorIne Il smiles and

the way. Aftrue and trusty man is he the
honest sweat standing like. gems upon his
forehead. He has just come. from the shop,
where he has earned the price of bride.
His works. done, and he determines to rob q
home of its chief ornament.
Need we remark that that home is Sc over

ed upon by thetwain. All the worldly goods
that could be packed TO stand fall from the

SHELTER on the sidewalk our fair friend
makes her appearance, and the suppressed
cry is for the depot" Night trains are Of
great convenience.
Morning comes.o The father and mother
meet, but neither spoke Won word" It was
whispered by the knowing ones. that the ram
tipoles had gone to village not a hundred
miles north Of this city. The enraged father
took the first train north, and on his arrival
at the place named, to his dismay he found
they had started back in this direction.
Then comes dispatch to our Sheriff with in
structions to stay the progress of the pair !
The Sheriff waited at the depot for the train
that was hurrying to the east man and wife.
When the train came in
with eye Of are majestical he rose,
And spoke ddetsedIy through his W -

house. But no, she was married; she had
in whom she splaced the greatest
confidance, and sheswas happy. &AA
The officer OF the law could do nothing.
They passed on, and we hope, and believe
they are as contentedsas any couple thatsever
left Kenosha. May their lives be long; an
unfaltering affection ever exist between them;
and in the future, may the past be forgotten,
in the reflection that they have made each for
the other happy existence, and no harm
has been done after all. ga
