are necessary. Three plowings we

at least one-third more wheat, and

but where two plowings only were
given on the remainder OF the field,
the oats were thick enough TO inter

A Little Romance.


From the Willimantic, Conn., journal.
On Wednesday afternoon the four
O'Clock train brought to town an aged
couple from Springfield, Mass, bent
upon matYimony, 4 The combined
ages Of the couple reached l45 years,
yet they were alive to the sentiment
Of love and the poetry of Hymen.
They seemed to court novelty, and
were boiling over with romance
They could mot have been running
away TO escape the Interference of an
irate lover or indignant parent, for
they had reached that age Of life
when they were law unto them
selves. Perhaps they had been mar
ried before, and wanted to get little
out Of the regular routine. So they
stepped on board the train for the
Nutmeg State, and upon their ar
rival, quietly called upon one Of our
Justices to administer the obligation.
In their hurry and high glee, they
discovered that they had left the
carpet-bag that contained the "where-
with" at some place along the route,
and were without the necessary
funds to carry the transaction for-

A Washington correspondent gives
what he regards as an insight into q
great conspiracy. A movement has
been organized. he says, with victo>
ria c. Woodruff at its head, to work
upon Congress at the coming session
and secure the passage Of q "Declara-
tory act" affirming the right Of wo-
men to vote. He says there are q
number of Senators and members OF
Congress pledged to warm support
of the movement, whose names,
when made public. will certainly as
tonish the community. In the Sem
ate. one of the most active, upright
and progressive members OF that
august body will have the matter In
charge. And the House OF Repre-
sentatives. IL the members mean

The Wheat Prospects I'm Europe.

The latest information on the SUBJ
ject is 10 the effect that the wheat
crop In England and Scotland is
decidedly under an average. but
the quality is good. 1t is also repre-
sented that In consequence of the
lateness of the harvest and unfavor-
able state Of the weather, fears were
entertained that 1t may be injured In
the stacks. Lower prices are not ex-
pected. Although the stocks In

10 evident that large foreign sup.
plies will be required. and that

importing largely during the next
