A PAIR OF YOUTHFUL ELoPERs.-A
day or two since a lad of fifteen and a
girl one year his junior, whose very res
pectable parents reside in Bennington,
ran away and went to Troy, where, arm
in arm, they wendell their way to the
nearest clergyman to whom, with many
bushes, the little folks told the story
of their love, and asked him to bless
that love by matrimonial union
The clergyman very promptly refused
to perform that ceremony, but giving
them some good advice urged them
to return 10 their anxious parents and
hereafter conduct themselves like good
little children. Not satisfied with This
experience the young lovers repaired
to five other clergymen, each of whom
had the good sense to decline to marry
the couple, and they took the evening
train for home, signing and sad, but not
hopeless of union at no distant day.

bushes. tie drove back to a house near
by rallying out the men with their gu. 5.
In the meantime his bearship had crossed
a sluiceway into pasture and began
slowly vending his way up themountain,
and an effort was made to overtake him.
but he travelled too feetly up the noun
tain to get within shooting distance, and
soon disappeared in the thicket. Twas
judged he would weigh about $50 pounds.

FREsHET IN MONTGOMERY AND RICH
FoRD.-A violen: shower occurred in the
town of Richford and Montgomery on
Tuesday evening of last week. The
rain fell in such torrents that in few
minutes brooks were swollen to rivels,
and the flood swept everything before it.
Hail fell in large stones, so that crops
were much damaged even above the
water course. On the Stanhope brook
in Richford the saw mill of S. S. Garvin
highway bridge and new R'R. bridge
ON the NJ. q. c. R. road were carried
away. Mr.. Field, proprietor of the saw
mill at Richford, lost heavily in logs by
the breaking of his boom. The farms
and crops of Freeman Flint and Jesse
Sears, in Richford, were badly damaged
by the brook changing its course, and
throughout the country visited by the
deluge bridges were carried away so as
to interrupt travel. Mr.. Sears and fam
lily had to leave their dwelling. The
family of David Dow, also, had to vacate
their house. Mr.. Rochusen had been to
Montgomery with a team and was re-
turning to Richford in the evening which
was very dark, and not knowing that
bridge had been carried off, drove in
to branch of Trout River, when the
horse, carriage and himself were instant
ly carried down the stream. The horse
was drowned and Mr.. B. finally caught
on some bushes and calling for aid was
helped out by neighhor.

MORE PATENT RIGHT SwINDLRRs.-
The Manchester, On. H. Mirror says
that some of the patent right swindlers
have recently visited Ascutne, vile, in
Weathersfeld and taken in some of the
people there. "A wealthy farmer was in
duced to give them his note for $40.
But on sober, second thought he mis-
trusted it was swindle, and immediate
ly followed them. demanding his note
and three dollars for his trouble. This
they concluded to do. He then told them
they might leave townif they would give
him ten dollars more. They forked over
the money and left" What hold this
farmer had, by which he was able to deal
with them so vigorously is not stated.

MIDDLEBURY CoLLEGE.-Commence-
ment at Middlebury last week, was very
successful and interesting, clouded on
ly by the sad drowning of member
of the sophomore class. Among the
addresses was very able one by Prof.
Kellogg in which he is reported to have
been somewhat beligerent attacking the
editorial fraternity with considerable
severity, and also charging upon the
grammar of Richard Grant White, and
Webster's Dictionary. 1t would seem
therefore that the Professor undertook
an extensive job, and while he may
have been more right than wrong on the
two first, his last point of attack must
have been like that of the Indian, few
shreds of whom only was found after
he attempted to lasso an engine on the
Pacific railroad.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE. The Windsor
journal says that on Monday of last
week, a convict named Frame, with sew
eral aliases, confined on sentence of ten
years for burglary, succeeded in making
a hole in the roof of the south shop, and
crawling out upon the wall and jump
ing off, some fifteen feet, for an escape.
He was discovered in the very act, and
Immediately fired upon with revolver.
Running through the garden down the
bank, he rushed towards the brook, pur-
sued by musket balls, one of which, as
he was crossing the stream, struck in
the water just in advance of his head.
AS he was drawn upon, for the fourth
time, with terrific nearness, he threw
up his hands and was seized. He return
ed more sober, if not wiser chap to
begin anew, 10 solitary and with an I'M
comfortable clog, to servehis entire term,
having lost by this piece of folly, the
thirteen months which he had previous
ly worked out,
