a lew days ago we announced the arrest
by Captain Frey, special agent of the Post.
office Department, of G. W. White. den
uty postmaster at Barnesville, Va, on the
charge of robbing the mails.
1t seems that letters containing money
have frequently been lost at or near Barnes
VILE, and for many months all attempts to
iathom the mystery have been fruitless.
Captam Frey, however, adopted the plan
OF mailing decoy letters, containing bank
notes, marked in such way as to be cas-
liy recognized, and finally succeeded in
fastening the guilt upon Mr.. White, and ac-
tually finding some of the identical money
on his person.
~ Whlfe was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Buffoon, at Lynch.
burg, on Thursday. The testimony as to
the guilt OF the accused was overwhelming.
Captain Frey having thoroughly worked up II,
the case before causing Whites arrest
After careful hearing of the evidence.
Commissioner Buffoon sent the accused on
for trial before the United States court.
which meets in Lynchburg in March. and
committed him to Jail in default of $4,000
bail.

pathetic passengers called upon the conductor
TO spur the iron horse to the rescue and that
official gave his engineer orders TO pull her wide
open and make extra time" amid the uproarious
cheers of the station. Away Numbered the
train after the runaways and wrathful sire and
when about a mile from RraSdon, came in SIGHT
OF the full chase on turnpike road RUNNING
Slde by side with the track. Instantly every
window in the cars was crowded with heads the
platform swarmed with waivers of hats and
handkerchies, and the whole travelling comma
ny entered intensely into the spirit of the OK
citing scene like any ancient audience ofkuighfs
and ladies at tournament. As they came up
with the purSucr and passed him saws the
Merlden Gazette, it was noticed that he rode
a large, very fine horse, much more powerful
ana less Jaded than were the animals bearing
the fugitiveS, and its every leap under whip and
spur made the distance between them less Youth
and maiden piled whips also without stint and
Kept a good lead, but upon oyertaking them in
turn the train passengers could see by the
Strengthened necks and painting sides that the
good steedS could not bear the pace much
longer. The girls disheYeled tresSes streamed
back in the breeze like a banner of golden
threads, the hatleSs youth encouraged her and
the horses with cheering shouts, iaud the pas
sengerS cheered both in the heartiest possible
way. The locomotive was gauged TO keep
alongside at hrst; but presently the overtaxed
animals of the lovers plainly slackened their
speed, and the figure of the pursuing sire prew
omnously nearer. Then the excitement of the
travellers reached fever heat; meu shouted and
swung hats, women screamed and the engine
whlstled-and all to no avail, for the horses could
do no more. A moment it seemed that parental
vengeGce must win the day; and then, by
happy inspiration, the passengers roared for the
train to stop and take the fainting lovers aboard
Down with the brake it was in an instant; the
cars were brought to the quickest possible halt;
tine youth, maiden, saddlebags and carpetsacBs
were dragged on board by friendly hands lust
as the stern old man, on the fying-horse, came
near enough in his cloud of dust to be heard
ordering surrender. Then screamed the whistle
again, and away flew the train like mad, leaving
the enraged father to shake fist and pistol impo-
tently at its cheering human freight OF the
adventurous twain thus enabled to win the race
at last, the lover is only fifteen years old and
the sweetheart thirteen. Discriminating at the
next station, under The hearty congratulations
of their numerous rescuers, they were married
at the first parsonage and went back to their
home as one on the next southwark bound
train. As tor the distanced sire, if be had
never got married himself he would never have
lost the race.

Upon the arrival one day last week of
northern train ON the Alabama and Chattanoo.
"a railroad ut the pretty Georgian station of
Brandon, its passengers had their interest ex.
cited by the appearance of an unwonted COM
motion amongst the people gathered on the
platform and around the depot. Loungers, vii
layers and tranmen were all chatting together
over some topic of common intelligence, in a
style indicating the liyeliest feelings in regard
to some unusual matter, and the travellers eager
ly inquired the meaning Of it all. Then were
they told that just before the arrival of their
train Il young man and a young woman,
mounted upon ioaming thoroughbreds, had
come galloping up TO the station at top speed
TO catch the cars there, followed by the fair
ones father In full cry; aud, upon finding the
train not yet arrived, had swept wildly BY ON
the road TO the next station, with their pur-
suer stu hotly on their track. II was
PLAIN that the young people were clipping
and, unless they could reach the next
station by the time that the cars did
and be aboard and of before the elder rider
come up with them would surely be captured
and tahen back TO punishment. This was
enough, With one voice the now warmly sym.

"Now that our squash, cucumber, and melon

and uglier chap that is now beginning his sum
Iner campaign. He is about half an inch long
nearly oval, OF dark, slaty-brOwn color, almost

few of them, we hOpe,) will recognize as similar

two are nearly related, and certainly any one
who has had anything TO do with both would
pronounce them at least first cousins. For this
reason You will naturally incline to let him
alone, especially as he does not at present APP

skulking about among the young plants, not so
