Cupid nj Work.

Love laughs at lock-smiths as well as at
"oli folks" Mr.. l.. c. G&sn, young gentle
man Of our town, and Miss Fannie Frcderici,
a black-eycd brunette, concluded, very wisely,
that single blessedness was poor thing to re-
ly upon, and hence an elopement to more
genials points became essential to complete
happiness to both. Taking the train at a con
venient station, the young couple with two
faithful companions Of the contemplated voy-
age nsmelyf Mr.. J. D. swope and Miss Nelly
Cosby, arrived in safety upon the hospitable
shores Of Indiana, at Jacksonville. Rev. Mr.,
sheats was looked up who, in twinkling, tied
the marriage knot, and the "twaine were
made one flesh Whom God has joined to-
gether let no man put asunder"
Returning in day or so, the mother Of the
bride, as a good and forgiving mother should,
invited the hayward pair TO return to the
old rooftree, and there, in the presence of
loving kindred and friends, they received the
hearty congratulations Of all May their path
be void Of thorns, and green" be the leaves
Of their branches.

This is a wholesale auction dry goods house
at 81, Broadway New York. We have ~
oeiyed their circular, and Il merchants would
make il point to attend their sales, il would,
doubtless, be TO their advantage. IL occurs
frequently that they have large lines of dry
goods, boots and shoes, hats, caps, straw and
linen goods, and many other kinds Of goods on
sale which are sold at even ten cents on the
dollar, and at even less prices. In these days
Of failures and bankruptcy, il would he well
for our merchants ~ have a cash buyer In
New York, who would watch these sales made
by Mr.. Rouss, and who would avail himself Of
the opportunity TO buy at time when goods
were selling so low. Mr.. L. W, Harris, who
has been resident Of New York for many

Three Men Shot.

Immediately after the circus Performance at
night on Saturday last, two negro men got into
difficulty on the outside Of the canvass,
whereupon officers Pops and Myers attempted
to arrest them. One of them, Andy Owsley,
drew his pistol and shot Mr.. Pope through
the heshy part Of the thigh, causing painful
wound. In the melee, Mr.. Myers was also shot
in the back Of the head by spent ball. The
negro Owsley was also shot through the arm,
the ball lodging in his side. All the wounds
are somewhat serious but will not prove fatal.
During the shooting, the negro escaped, but
on account Of the great pain his wound caused
him, he came in on Sunday evening for sur
gical-aid, and gave himself up to the authori-
ties, and was lodged in Jail, the ball being first
extracted from his side.

IMPROVEMENT
am happy TO inform YOU that Mr.. Isaac
Shelby, ir., has resumed operations at the
SPRING.. lie has commenced the erection Of a
new front to the building he put up last year.
We saw the draft Of the building few days
since. The dimensions are ~ follows forty
eight feet long, thirty-fo feet wide and two
storie. high, with beautiful veranda in front.
The work Is carried on under the superintend-
ance Of the architect, James Carrigan, Of Dan
vile.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr.. Shelby has also large brick building
in course Of erection, the dimensions Of which
are as follows; one hundred and eighty fee,
long. thirty-eight feet wide and three stories
high above the basement. This will give en-
ployment to a number Of mechanic, brick
masons and carpenter, and will be quite a.
improvement to our town. We say success
10 the enterprise, and we hope the proprietor
will be doubly rewarded for his trouble.
FARMERS.
Owing TO the wet weather the farmers have
been detained from planting. But the former
rains are past the sky IL clear, everything be-
gins to look lively, and IL this westher VII
continue they will soon get through their
work. We never had a better prospect for
small grain in this sectisn Of country than
we have this spring, and IL the season con-
tinues favorable we will no doubt have an
abundant harvest We feel cheered to see
such a good prospect for plentiful harvest,
although we do not engage in tilling the soil,
we love to see the farmer prosper; for, when
the farmer fails, the merchant fails, the me
chanic fails and business Of every description
comes almost to stand-still. They are the
life and support Of all commerce and trade

That branch Of the Presbyte rian church
known and recognized as the Southern wing
have had a conference recently, at Louisville,
aud have determined to build and endow a
university Of the frst-class at all hazards, This
action on their part, has been deemed neces-
sary, in view of the fact that the supreme
Court Of the United States has decided to turn
over to the Northern Assembly Central College
with all It's franchises and immunities. We
hope that il this object Is carried into effect,
that our Stanford citizens will make an earnest
effort to have the university located at~this
point. No better or more accessible place in

Herr LengeI and his Pets.

We were kindly invited by Herr Elijah
Lengel, the day after the exhibition here, to
witness private entertainment, given for our
personal qualification, and in which this great
est Of wild beast tanners entered several dens
OF the ferocious animals, in which were tigers,
lions, loepards and hyenas, all mixed together
during the time Mr.. Lengal was in the cages.
= Truly, HE powsroyer the animal Kingdom
is wonderful. The beasts both love and fear
him. While In one of the cages in which were
male, and two panthers; the lion, jealous of
the proximity Of the panthers to his mate, the
lioness, sprang furiously at one Of the panth-
ers, through the dividing bars of the cage,
seized il by the thigh and would have crushed
the bones to atoms but for the bold and in
slant relief of their keeper who opened the lions
cage door and beat him furiously over the
head with his club, which Quilted the enraged
animal. None but man Of iron nerve and
utterly void Of fear at that could have done
or dared TO do il.
Mr. Lengel has also tanned an African hyena
in less than a month, so that he can handle il
az though il were dog, and can let il loose
in a cage where there is a royal Bengal tigress
and two loepards, when he is in the cage with
them. We saw him lie down upon the huge
tigress, with a leopard upon his legs and one
upon his shoulder, while the hyena covered
at his feet. Wesaw the tigrc~s rar upon him
and place her monster paws around his neck
as lovingly as a child.
Mr.. Lengel says he never turns his back
upon AN animal for an instant and asserts that
in almost every instance where men are injured
by them la cages, Il Was because this rule was
Intentionally or unintentionally violated. lie
has been three times sci upon by Wild beasts,
and came near being killed by them. lie bears
some ugly scars which he received from their
teeth and claws.
