upon the person Of little daughter Of
Mr.. Perkins, only seven years Of age.

are upon his track with good prospect
Of his speedy capture. This is the first
time we have ever had to chronicle such

The Dedham Patriot says that a mar.
risge once took place at Canton, Massa.
chusetts, under the following circum.
stances: The bridegroom, when quite a
small boy. ran away from his parents,
who Hvcd iu Lower Canada. In process
OF time the father died, the mother 90.
married again, and the fruits of this
union were several daughters. The
daughters grew up, and the parents not
having the means to support them, they
went to work in factories. One strayed
to Canton factory, where, by a fortuitous
circumstance, the runaway happened to
be at work. He soon became acquainted
with this girl, aud before a full history
Of each others origin was developed
married her. In few days it was ascer,
tained that they both had one mother.
This, of course, greatly confused and as
tonished both parties, from which arose
strong conscientious scruples as to the
propriety Of brother and sister living to
gether in state of matrimony, and. upon
mature consideration, they resolved mu.
tually to dissolve their connection a. mao
and wife.

OF their infancy, are destined to. DO pow

information, and aroused enthusiasm 70,

to accomplish good results. They are

spheres ofusefulness to which school men
have hitherto been strangers. and event

p'ofsssorships is yet 10 the rough, and
must be it.od and polished in the iusti.
