An ElOnement.

VIM Moore, a well-to-do citizen of the 9th
district in this county few days ago lett for
parts unknown with the wife of one of his
neighbors. Both parties left their companions
and large family of children behind.
Moore has been for number of years sus-
pected of being an unprincipled man. His first
wife was woman of excellent character and
considerable property. After they had lived
together several years another woman gained
Moore's affections and his wife died rather
mysteriously leaving several children. She
was suspected of having been dosed with poi
son however, it was never proven. Moore was
soon married to the other and lived with her
until within few days.
OF late he has been very intimate with a
neighbor's wife spoken of above, but whose
name, for the sake of the unfortunate husband,
we suppress.
A few days ago she complained of being sick
and her husband brought her to this city for
medical advice, and not thinking her able to
return home, left her at the house of relative
short distance from town.
That night she left and has not since been
heard from. Moore left at the same time and
it is supposed they took the cars at this point.
Before leaving Moore sold large part of his
land, and carried away considerable amount
of cash which he had on hand. He was a man
of considerable property. The occurrence
creates much excitement in the neigbor-
hood where it occurred. As would naturally be
supposed, each family is in a very disconsolate
state of mind

Grand Temperance Rally.

Three cheers for ..the friends of Temperance
south of the river. There was, on yesterday,
one of the largest and most enthusiastic gather
ings ever witnessed in this country. Fully five
kaadred ,,caple were in attendanca 1t ON
braced young and old, and male and female
Some three or four Divisions were represented
Indeed it was glorious occasion, one which
the writer will not soon forget.
AT an early hour procession was formed, land
after marching and counter marching awhile,
the immense thrOng filed into the large church
in the neighborhood. and was soon packed by
the crowd Devotional exercises were perform
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Emery, after which the
same gentleman was introduced by Captain
Hawn, master of cerimonies, who is q warm and
intelligent advocate of Temperance. Mr. En-
esy made some pertinent remarks and took his
seat.
G. w. Charlton was then introduced and
spoke for one hour. He took high ground on
the subject, dealt some heavy blows at church
members and many of the clergy for their want
of cooperation in the temperance reform. He
was listened to with marked attention through
out his remarks. The exercises then closed,
when the crowd repai1ed TO a long table which
was covered with every luxury 1t was splen-
did dinner. There was enough for all, and q
good deal to spare. God bless the people south
of the river!
The Sublime Porte and Khedive of
Egypt have refused to purchase the Suez
Canal, and M. De Lesseps is now applying
