AN ELOPEMENT-HOW 1T ENDED.

About eleven o'clock yesterday fore
noon young lady and gentleman, with
looks and air suggestive of the country
and new-mown hay. came to the Walnut
Street House. The young lady stood
bashfully in the background, while the
gentleman walked boldly up to the office
and bending over the register, wrote
therein the name of .'Charles Damon
and lady Guyandotte, ". "" The
landlord, being boniface of many years
and long experience, had seen similar
rustic couples before, and had the puta-
tive husbau and wife shown to a private
apartment BY this time the coming of
the pair was noised through the hostelry,
and an air of mystery enveloped the sup
posed bridal chamber. Shortly after the
bridegroom left the room.
After an hour had passed an elderly
gentleman from the rural district burst
into the office, and inquired for his runa-
way daughter. His description of the
damsel tailed exactly with that of the
bride, now presumed to be enjoying su-
preme happiness in room AZ. The angry
and bereaved parent was shown the door,
but found it locked Then he made a
great show of leaving, but remained close
at hand. After brief period had elaps
ed he softly mounted chair and peeped
through the transOm. There he saw his
fair haired daughter emerging from under
the bed, where she had enscOnsed herself
when she heard the frs: muttering of
paternal wrath.
Admttance was soon gained. The
pitiless sire seated himself in a chair,
ruthlessly drew the helpless child of his
old age across his knees, and, removing
all useless distractions, administered
punishment with his horny palm as he
had done in the babyhood Of his un-
grateful offspring. The would-be bride
felt keenely that she was indeed a child
again.
After the end Of justice had been sat-
isfied, the hard hearted male relative re-
leased the sobbing child ana left the room,
double locking the door after him, and
descended to the office. At the foot of
the stairs he encountered the young and
heartless destroyer of his domestic peace.
Look ee here" said the father, shaking
his fist fercely under the nose of the
lover, IL want ten dollars of you. This
trip cost me ten dollars, and you have

The youth pulled out thin pocket
book with a dispirited air, paid the
mileage of his triumphant adversary,
and turning upon his heel. left the house.
The winner of the race marched back to
the room be had just left, took the girl
under his arm. and made his way with
his swamp angel. back to the wilds of
Indiana, whence the party had come

The popular idea that the ghouls of
the medical profession never hunt for
their subjects save in Winter, when de-
composition is not go rapid as in Sum

naercial. which tells the following borri-
| flying tale: "The stock Of subjects is
largely made up in Summer. aud secured
for the Winter by the simple process of
packing in salt In several of our medi-
cal institutions are large zinc or galva-
nized iron watts, made impervious to the
assaults of chemicals of any description.
The subjects are brought in from nearly
all the burrying grounds about the city,
with the exception of Cave Hill, at
nominal cost; they don't ratehigh in
Summer, and the resurrectionists regard
the business as dull. We believe that
some arsenic preparation is injected into
the carotid arteries, after which the bod.
les are covered with salt, and piled in
layers in the great vat. Que medical
institution in this city has a stock of
about thirty well-preserved salted subjects
which will be taken out and cut up in

with each other when one or the other is
short of material. They are generally
shipped in barrels, salted and prepared
By this exchange Identification becomes
impossible, if such thing were attempt
ed. These subjects are shipped or ex-
humed at hours when suspicion would
be less liable to be aroused, and sunset
is oftener used than any other hour. We
suppose it is necessary to make use of
the human BODY after death for the bene-
fit of science, but there is something re-

reputation of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

Lead Mine near stenbenville.

The ore was discovered about a month
ago in Saline township, Jefferson coun-
ty, on Big Yellow Creek, eight miles
from the river and about two miles
from the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad station, by Mr. James A.

for it. In this vicinity the old settlers

The Result of Exhaustion.

. The natural result Of exhaustion Of
strength by excessive labor or action Is
feeling of weakness, dizziness, heaviness,
WEAKNESS, languor of body or mind, &c
Persons of weak constitution, or whose
habits are sedentary, frequently complain
of this relaxed condition Of the vital ener-
gies; and when persons Of a nervous tenn
permanent are thus weakened and debili-
tated, disease inevitably follows, unless it
is at once checked and overcome. All who
suffer from these causes alike require a
remedy which will strengthen the system
without exciting 1t, and awaken a feeling
of true enjoyment, so that life may become
a source Of pleasure. MISHLERS HERB

dence of thousands of this class Of pesons

ating agent and the most potent and genial
