The bed of the Mississippi River
seems to be filing up at a rate
which threatens in the course of
time to seriously affect navigation
during the dry season This year
at St. Louis, while the surface of
the water has been four feet and
one inch above the lowest stage of
water attained by the river in1S63,
there was ut the same time only
about five inches difference IN the
depth of the channel between these
years, showing that the bottom of
the river must be three feet four
inches higher than it was in 1868.
So in 1886 the bed of the river was
found 50 be two feet and three
inches higher than it was ten years
previous.

A Little Love Episode.

In the beautiful little village of Qua
ker City, this county, resides Thomas
Thomson and Mary Wilson, who ere
this are Mr.. and Mrs. Thomson. The
young man, scarcely eighteen years ol
age, and Mary, not yet sixteen, resolv-
ed to marry. Thomas made several
trips to Cambridge for the purpose Of
obtaining license, which was as of
ten refused by Judge Dougherty. On
Thursday of last week, he made his
last attempt, and falling as before, re-
turned home with new plan by which
to accomplish his object. He met Ma
ry at a neighbor's well, and there. il
was. agreed at once to proclaim their
marriage by a foreign minister.
! This done, it was believed, by the
unsuspecting parents of the girl, who
before had emphatically refused con.
sent to the union, and the friends were
invited to congratulate the youthful
couple.
On Friday evening, gentleman
from Quaker City who had been al
Cambridge on business returned home
and told the story of Thomas having
failed to obtain the necessary license,
as he was in the Probate's Office when
the application was made.
OF course this created quite breeze,
which became so intense on saturday
that the parties were posted off tc
"Hard Scrabble" to try and have the
knottied and save what wasIleft of theiI
reputation.
!. A trusty friend of the young girls
parents accompanied them to see the

has ere this been accomplished. They
can now take a fresh and honorable
start on the matrimonial journey with
none to modest or make them afraid

Wheeling and Lake Erie.

A meeting was recently held in San
dusky, o., in the interests of the pro-
jected Wheeling d Lake Erie Railroad.
A Committee was appointed to secure
signatures to petition to the legisla-
ture for a special act, authorizing the
city of Sandusky and Portland Town
ship to issue 500, 600 in bonds in aid of
the project, it being stipulated that the
amountso subscribed shall not be paid
to the company until satisfactory assur-
ances are given that the road will be
built, and that the money shall be ex-
pended at the Northern terminus of
the road, commencing at Sandusky
City. This petition has already been
largely signed, and little doubt is enter
tanned that the Ohio Legislature will
pass the desired law. Committees are
actively at work in all the Counties in
Ohio through which the road will pass,
soliciting subscriptions to the capital
stock, and are meeting with the most
Encouraging success. There is consid-
erable discussion in Belmont and Har-
rison Counties as to the route to be tax
en- by the road from Wheeling to the
intersection with the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati & st. Louis Railroad, a distance
of some thirty-fiye or forty miles.
Three or four different routes are talk
ed of, all posses ling advantages, but it
| is just now impossible to say which
one viii be selected. From a letter
from A. B. Paul, Esq, President ofthe
company, we learn that a number of
Eastern capitalists have been over the
line, expressing themselves as entirely
satisfied in regard to the project, and
declaring that they are ready to take
hold and push the matter as soon as the
local subscriptions are raised.-[ Pits

The Tuscarawas Chronicle tells of the
following singular accident: David
Moffat, of Rose township, Carroll coun-
ty, had put load in his rifle, and not
being able to shoot it out, he conclud-
ed to draw the ball, but could not do
it, SO he took the gun apart and re-
move the powder from the breech; still
being unable to remove the bullet, he
decided to lay the barrel in the black
smiths fire and melt it out. The bar
rel was therefore placed in the fire, and
shortly afterwards Mr.. Mofat's' little
girl nine years old, who was standing
by, ,said, .sPapa, it hurts.u "What
hurts% said he; she then put her hand
on her left hip to indicate the place,
and upon examination it was found
that the ball had been forced from the
gun by the heated air, and had struck
the girl on the left hip, passed round
the body and lodged in the right leg.
When We last heard from her she was
still living, but it was feared the wound
would prove fatal.

4 sIanderer Answered.


Senator Conkling of New York, in a
recent speech at Albany, made the
following just reply to the oft-repeated
charge that General Grant had been en-
riched By accepting presents:
eMr. Tilden alludes to President
Grant as one who has been enriched by
costly presents while exercising the i'm
mefise power of the Presidency. This
is an unqualified assertion, made as if
upon absolute acknowledge, and yet,
speaking upon all the information
have, / believe is utterly unfounded.
The allegation is, that since his election
to the Presidency, Gen. Grant has been
the recipient of costly gifts. Returning
from the war victorious General, and
holding no civil Office whatever, he did
receive gifts showered upon him by a
grateful people, but he received them
ass the hero of many battles, and be-
fore he was even nominated for the
Presidency. His case was not solitary.
General Sherman also ca mag
nif1cent testimonials; 50 Gid other Gen.
erals. Gen. Mcclellan ran for the
Presidency four years before Gen.
Grant ran; he too was enriched by
costly presents, given, doubtless, in con-
Isideration of military services, and his
political opponents never cast foul aspi-
rations on him for it. Wellington,
after Waterloo, received presents
Amounting to more than two million
dollars. Whether heroes in former or
recent times, have done well or i'll in
accepting tributes from their country
men, is not, however, the point here;
be that one way or the other, the right
or wrong is the same in all cases alike,
and since Gen. Grants accession to the
Presidency, as far as can learn, he has
never accepted a costly present from
any one"

who (of course), was Tilted lover, and
(of counsel, killed his arrival in duel
twenty-five years ago. He had also
been member of the Legislature of
his native State, and it is not clear in
our mind which of these misfortunes
drove the unhappy man to adopt the
life of hermit, though the usual
course Is to charge it all to tickle wo-
man. The likeness of the woman was
(of course), found in the tin box, to-
gether with some of her letters both to
the hermit and the dead rivai-the lat
ter letters spotted with blood. A pTin-
ted slip cut from newspaper of the
period accompanies the other stage
properties, and it gives full account
of the fatal duel-rifies, twenty-five
