A Rtn,a,cdy Match-A Wealthy Heiress
Elopes Nth one of our Prominent Citizens
= Washington the Gretna Green.--For a
long time, one of our well known promi-
nent citizens, whose appearance would in
dicate him past the age of indulging in ro-
nance, has been paying devotion to faxen
headed daughter of Richmond, the least OF
whose charms consists in a codicil to the
will of the old gentleman, making her the
recipient of fifty thousand dollars when she
becomes of age. His attentions were so
objected to by friends of the fair-haired
heiress, that they demurred to them and
endeavored to place an impossible gulf be-
tween the two. Nothing daunted by the
frowns of relatives she played the part Of
heroine so well as to meet her admirer in
secret, when vows of eternal fidelity were
given and received. These secret meetings
resulted in mutual determination to seek
some spot where the laws of marriage were
less mandatory, and where the consent OF
the twain was only necessary to have the
knot firmly tied. ttiA si
All arrangements having been quietly,
but steadily, made, yesterday afternoon,
love snapped his fingers in the face of friend
and foe, and directed the happy pair to seek
passage by the Richmond and Fredericks-
burg road, and never stop until the White
House at Washington came in view. Obey
ing implicitly the directions of the mischiev-
GUS god, the two left Richmond yesterday
afternoon, and ere now have so manipula-
ted the laws of nature as to become one in
stead af two. The young lady in question,
supported as she is by the liberal provisions
of the will of her deceased 'sparient," !" has
been unsuccessfully sought by many a
young gentleman, who imagined it would
be SO nice TO walk in and hang up his hat on
a fifty thousand dollar peg.
Even our own profession was impudent
enough to imagine a young lady, possessed
of so many charms, would be willing to
share the difficulties and trials Of newspa-
per life. She refused to see it in the same
light.
Young, handsome, and elegant gentlemen
all bowed at the shrine of beauty, intelli-
gence and wealth-but in vain. 1t re-
manned for gentleman past the meridian
OF life, while the less experienced were
struggling for the prize, to step in and bear
it off.
They have gone, and successfully gone,
and no doubt are successfully married. We
wish the pluck Of the young lady may be
rewarded by a long and happy life with the
man Of her choice, who has, indeed, won a
prize, although at the cost of sacrifice OF
age and experience, by indulging in flight
and romance.
On account of the inclcmency of the wea-
ther, and the absence of the Governor, we
have consented to withhold the names OF
the happy PARTIES.

Important Notice.-We have been re-
quested to call the attention of those inter
ested, to the advertisement of John w.
Wright, Esq, Sheriff of the city, giving no
tice of the law requiring parents to pay the
capitation tax of one dollar before theil
children shall be allowed to enter the pub
lie schools. 1t is but right that we should
be particular in calling attention to this law,
as so many Of our friends are likely to be
ignorant Of its provisions. Come up, then,
and pay the tax all you who have children
to educate, as by refusal to do so you will
deprive them of the benefits of education.
1t is important the tax should be paid at
once, as the sheriff will soon be required to
return list of the delinquents.

81 The London Times lately mentioned, as a
remarkable and unprecented fact, that
vessel which cameinto an English port had
been saved at sea by fish. The ship
sprang aleak. All the efforts of the crew
to discover the faulty plank end stem the
| sci proved unavail.ng. Suddenly, how
ever, the leak was stayed, and when the
vessel came into port fish was found
wedged in an aperture in her stern. A
writer in the Gentlenen's Magazine says ::
ssI remember some years ago being present
at the annual celebration of Colston's
Day in the city of Bristol One of the
associations which do especial honor to the
memory of the philanthropist is called
banners the effigy of a dolphin. The same
fish is the badge of the Colston School.
The story told in connection with it is that
once when Colston was at SEQ on board one
of his own vessels, the ship sprang aleak.
The merchant, praying God to save the
ship, made the propitiatory vow that If he
were spared to return home he would de-
vote a large proportion of his wealth to
charitable purposes. The pumps almost
BY and by the vessel righted herself, and
} eventually sailed safely into king-road.
, When she was examined dolphin was
found fairly embedded in stove-in
plank. Colston nobly fulfilled his vow,
and adopted the dolphin as his coat Of
arms. 1t is many years since the story
was related to me by Mr.. John Taylor, Of
the Bristol Mirror. will not answer fol

PRoGREss.- new churches have
been dedicated within year by the Most
Rev. Archbishop in Baltimore and it's inn
mediate vicinity one, the beautiful Church
of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, on Federal
Hill; another, that of the fourteen Holy
Martyrs, on Lombard street; and the
third, that of st. Thomas Aquinas, at
Hampden Village. Two of these are spa
cious and beautiful, and all are in a fair
way of being relieved of debt; while the
Chapel of the Fourteen Holy Martyrs is
sufficiently large for the congregation.
In the Cathedral Parish two new Paro-
chial Schools, one for boys and the other
for girls, are in progress of erection, to re-
place the schools hitherto taught at Cal
vert Hall and st. Mary's Orphan Asylum,
where there is not sufficient room.
Three new churches in Baltimore are
also projected, and will soon be commenced;
one for the Bohemians, a second for the
Germans, and third for English speaking
Catholics. Besides, many of the Churches
have been enlarged, or newly adorned and
painted in fresco.
In this brief notice we confine ourselves
to Baltimore and its immediate vicinity
Similar evidences of progress are witnessed
in Washington and throughout the Arch
diocese, as we shall hereafter take occa
sion to mention.-BaltimOr Mirror.
