the occasion of the destruction by fire of the

buildings But such will not be the case, for
Mr.. NJ. L. Bcbbitt, the enterprising contractor,
lost no time in making provision for completing
the work on these buildings. On Saturday, the
klst the materials were destroyed. On Monday,
Hthe 3rd, he went to Alexandria and purchased
the flooring, sash, doors and blinds, which are,
per contract, to be delivered here on the 18th

'hended. Such enterprise and promptness Of ac-
ton deserve TO be commended.

]. R. Austin and Mississippi Burke

j. r. Austin, married man, under pretence
of taking her to some Of her relatives near
Liberty, abducted first cousin of his, aged Is
years, named Mississippi Burke of Bedford
county. Instead of taking her to her relatives,
be took her to Washington City. There his
conduct with the girl excited the suspicion OF
the police who arrested him. He then induced
the girl to marry him that he might be releas-
ed from arrest. At Alexandria he was re-
cognized by some who knew him, and was ar
rested and put into jail. Mr.. Freeman of that
City took the young girl home to her distress
ed parents in Bedford county From Free
man account of the scene on her return to her
home, we extract the following
GAS [ neared the house I saw no grown per-
son, but some little children were in the yard
When had gotten near the yard-gate L heard
the noise of females crying, betokening signs of
great distress. The little girl, seeming to have
been excited and very nervous before this, now
commenced crying. When we reached the
yard-gate We left the buggy and approached the
door, where lady who was visiting the house
met u.s. The daughter walked in and took a
seat near the door. This lady alluded to met
me at the door, and looked me sternly in the
face, and from the expression Of the eye [ saw
or imagined there was danger. She looked me
fully in the fce, and asked me, Is your name
Austin, sir p To which | answered, S.No,
madam Austin is ia jail in Alexandria" And
the little girl hearing the question, said, mo,
Mrs. Jennings ; this is Mr.. Freeman, my friend,
who has brought me home" The lady turned
immediately and went up stairs, and instantly
Mr. Burke came down. The distressed mother
had tainted and fallen on the floor. When the
old gentleman reached the foot Of the stairway
he entered the room, and passed by the daugh-
ter. who be thought was proGigal, looking
slightly at her without speaking, The little
girl saw this, and screamed at the top Of her
voice, "Oh, pa, why do you treat me in that
way? Come back and speak to me-" | then
spoke to the old man, and told him he had
better speak to his daughter; that feared she
might be thrown into spasms; that when he
heard the circumstances connected with the case
he would probably think better of it, He then
spoke to her, after which he walked with me
out IN the yard, and conversing with me, strove
to avoid giving vent to his feelings While
sitting under the shade of tree in the yard,
talking with the distressed man, the mother
came out [ did not see her, as my face was
turned from the door, until she approached
near me, with both hands raised, exclaiming,
'Oh, Mr. Freeman, how can I ever Epay you,
sir for the kindness you have bestowed on me
and my daughter ~ May God grant that |
may never witness such another scene.

In putting the above machine before the pub
icwe claim for it the still greater merit that il

1t is equally adapted to lifting material from

for lifting hay from wagon with the addition
of hay fork and depositng in the NOW, and
for any other operation where heavy weights are

To persons living on elevated situations it is
an invaluable contrivance, supplying an album
