Returning from a Wedding

A singular accident which befel a par
ty Of persons from Akron Summit Co.,
Ohio, while returning from wedding,
is thus described by the Akron Beacon
recently: ''The party consisted of a
gentleman and his family who occupied
one carriage, ,and two ladies who follow
ed driving single horse. The oecu-
pants of the first carriage, being appre-
hensive that some accident might befall
the young ladies, looked back frequently
to see that all was right, and were not a
little relieved each time at seeing the
horse quietly trotting along with no
signs of running away or otherwise
m:sbehaying himself. Matters thus pro-
ceeded until the party reached Market
street, near Prospect, when on turning
aside to speak to the occupants of the
second carriage, the gentleman was not
a little amazed to see the horse, which
had been following so quietly, shoot
ahead on keen trot with the lines ly-
ing loose upon the dashboard and the
carriage empty! CT course his thought
was that some dreadful accident had oc-
curred,and leaving his horse to find his
own way to the stable, the gentleman
retraced his way to Tallmadge, where
he and his companions were overjoyed
to find the missing ladies safely aboard
another vehicle and on their way to Ak
ron. Their story was that soon after
leaving the wedding party their horse
stumbled and, falling, threw the Occu-
pants over the dashboard, whence they
fell to the ground not much injured but
considerably frightened. The horse jim
stead of running, continued his quiet
trot rs if nothing had happened, follow
ing the first carriage all the way to Ak
ron, a distance of four miles. The Ia
dies were comfortly provided for at a
neighboring house, and soon aiterward
started for home"

smile. rL -.-r4 Il EI5.
Nestled among her pillows for a
morning nap, Viva heard her brothers
voice ordering the servant TO bring
down Mr.. Stockton's luggage. She
rubbed her eyes in sleepy amazement.
"What, really going" Judging from
former experiences she had considered
1t only threat, and now thoroughly
awake she sprang from her downy nest
and opened her escritoire. Hurriedly
writing few words, she rang the bell
and directed her maid to deliver it in
stantly. % tae'
Fully equipped for his journey, Ned
stood on the piazza parrying his hosts
regrets at so sudden departure, when
Elise touched him on the arm and pre-
sented little note. Whatever the con-
tents were his face gave no clue, as
folding it carefully away in an inner
pocket he shook hands courteously with
his host, and entered the waiting car
riage. 7tI a'
Mrs. Datheridge looked up sharply as
Viva sauntered in to lunch. She had
her suspicious as to this sudden depart
ure, but the girl was so animated aud
unconscious that she was almost forced
to believe them unfounded. She little
knew of the tears that had drenched
those same bright eyes a little before,
tears of modification and disappoint-
ment, but tears which were soon dried,
for in her heart Viva felt that he had
not gone forever.
Three days passed, and at twilight
she slipped into the cosy window seat
where their acquaintance had first be-
gun. Absence is often loves strong
est argument, and she fell to thinking
half remorsefully of her past mis-
deeds and of her lovers patience and |
forbearance. He seemed so near that
she felt no surprise Iwhen tall figure
rose out of the gloom beside her, and a
familiar voice said: "I have come for
my answer, Viva; your note said that
you would reconsider s.aGa Il
Viva recognized the master which
in the quiet tones, and rising
with demure meekness, made answer,
saying: "My lord, am thine if thou
wilt" . ;-~9-s

A Footless Child that was
Beaten and Stabbed for not
Walking Upstairs.

One day recently respectfully dress.
ed man carried a well-grown child
muffied up and apparently sick, into
French's Hotel. He placed the child
on the stairs and began to talk to it in 8
very unkind, rough way. The atten.
ton of the guests were attracted, and
they gathered around. =
You are able to walk upstairs by
yourself" the man said, "and 1 won'l
carry you." lo aue'g
"Oh, OH" the child sobbsd, s'do carry
me up; please, pa, do. You know evel
since 1 was run over by the car and
lost both my feet can't walk upstairs
alone" 8 'lhF -
"That's all stuff" the man answered
"get up at once or I'll make you."
The poor child began to sob worse
than before, and the brutal man gave il
a severe thump on the side of the head
The child moaned piteously. The in
dignation of the bystanders was excl.
ted; and one of them said to the man,
SIS that child yours." fli ai-119

The man began to tumble In his pock-

Sure enough the man produced a
knife and opened it. The crowd slipped
off one by one, except two.
"Bring an officer" one of these cried
to friend. l- J4 .lu aa-

said, "it shall be for something" and
thereupon he plunged the knife into the
body of the child. The child shrieked,

quietly raised the child in his arms,
and removing his hat, said: aimoo a

Highway ROBBERY in Nevada.

a startling episode of frontier life
comes from Nevada, where four bold
brigands recently wayiaid and pillaged
a stage coach while going to a village
in Sierra county. There were fourteen
passengers aboard, and they had just
emerged from thicket, when four men
sprang from behind the rocks, and seiz-
ing the horses by the brides, babe the
driver get down and take the horses
from the coach. Next the passengers
were told 20 dismount and seat them
selves on redwood log. AS each of
the robbers held double-barreled shot
gun, the order was obeyed with alacrity.
The passengers sat still as mice under
cover of the shotguns, and silently
watched the operations of the robbers in
getting at the contents of the safe. The
scoundrels drilled holes about the lock
and elsewhere in the door, poured pow.
der into the openings, tamped them, and
then lighted the fuse. In half minute
there was thick puff of smoke, dull,
heavy sound, and there lay the safe
open. 1t was but the work Of minute
to sack the bags Of gold and packages
Of greenbacks, and then the robbers or
dered the passengers to mount. The
travellers obeyed and took their seats,
and then the driver was ordered to hitch
up and drive on quick. The robbers re-
lieved them of between $4,000 and $l2,-
900, and after making a mile in uncom.
monty quick time it was ascertained
that every man of the fourteen had a
revolver safely slowed away in his trunk
or valise.

NEW YORK.


Nav York, September 30--The STOCK
Exchange opens this morning after be-
ing closed ten days. Much OF the com
plication that has existed during that
period has been done away with. Many
prominent houses report that they have
effected settlements OF their transae'
tons. tits the belief OF those informed
that the settlement Of these transactions
will greatly reduce the numbers OF the
insolvent or deiaulting members OF the
Exchange, who will be reported on re-
opening to-day. On Saturday, ten days
ago, when the Board adjourned TO pre-
vent further depreciation Of values and
to repress the panic, it is said the
Vice President held in his hand
thirty notices OF suspensions Of mem
bers, but owing to the excitement
he was unable to read them to the
Board. Nearly all these members have
withdrawn their notices. and are resum-
ing business. 1t is thought that some
further failures are inevitable, and that
several will be announced at the expira-
ton of the three days grace allowed by
the suspension of the rules. The ae-
ton Of the Governing Committee taken
yesterday will, however, lessen the num-
Der of failures. The Exchange, there
fore, opens to-day under more favorable
aspects than could be expected. The
drain Of currency from city to country
banks is diminishing, simply because
currency is growing more scarce, and
the demand can only be partially salts
fed. The express companies also say
shipments of currency have fallen of
greatly during the past week, and there
is more from outside parties now than
from the banks. The bank reserve has
been diminished $22 100000

NEWARK, N. j., September SO.-A
citizens committee of fifteen, appointed
to investigate city frauds, held session
last evening, when the report of the
sub committee on the Auditor S accounts
was read. The report showed 1000
worth of bonds were withdrawn from the
sinking fund of 1859, and $4,000 worth
of street and sewer bonds substituted.
The bonds we're not sold, nor the sewer
bonds purchased in the. usual manner.
The subcommittee also found large
discrepancy between the City Treas
urer's report and the Mayors report for
1872. Concerning the balance in the
treasury a resolution was adopted to
press the investigation to the utmost.

ton on the subject
