ELOPING WITH HIS OWN WIFE.


The Rev. L. c.. Herman, of Douglass
township, Montgomery county, over whose
head at least sixty winters have passed,
eloped on Saturday last with Maria Barto,
widow lady of about the same age, who
resides near Mount Pleasant, Washington
township, Berks county. About two years
ago Lewis was married to Maria against
the will of her relatives. The marriage
was soon afterward declared null by the
court, owing to the lady not being of sound
mind, and she was sent to the lunatic asy-
lum at Philadelphia, where she remained
some nine months, when she was again
brought home, and close watch kept over
her. After repeated attempts she has at
last given them the slip and HE'D away with
her lover. The lady in question is very
wealthy, owning very nearly all the prop
erty around Mount Pleasant, from which
iron ore is being taken. Mr.. Herman was
formerly in the ministry Reformed), and
had charge of several congregations in the
upper end of Montgomery and lower end
of Berks county.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Opera House,

The audience which assembled last even
ing to witness the play of Marie Antoinefte
was probably the largest, so far, of the sea-
son, and Ms. Bowers again achieved a dis
tinguished success. She was the historic
Queen of France throughout At times
her impersonation rose to the highest Der
lection and k.niiei TIE r~ofOnndcet emo
tions As an instance oi tiiIs t...e ., i,i,,.....
of genius we would recall the manner in
which she received the Intelligence of the
Kings condemnation. Her sudden and
overwhelming grief was eminently natural.
at first too great for violent expression and
then increasing in vehemence. Her part
ing scene with the Dauphin was an
other admirable piece of acting. Here the
characteristics of the mother and dethroned
queen were blended with the happiest
effect. Mrs. Bowers acting throughout.
was the simple prompting of genius. and
was received with the waImest admiration.
Mr.. McCullom'S role of Louis the XVI is
deserving of praise. His large, portly figure
and dignified bearing were well suited to
such character, and he seemed to be i'm
bued with the true historic idea of Louis.
and sustained it with great credit. His
parting with his family was especially natu-
raj and deeply affecting.
The entire play passed off with anima-
ton and to the qualification of all who
witnessed it. 1t was probably the finest
entertainment of the week. The
nature of the play is such as to
require no great talent in the sup
port, and this probably accounts for the SUI
periority of the performance last night.
This evening will be presented the beau
tiful drama, 'Lucretia Borgia." Positively
the last appearance of Mrs. Bowers in
Nashville. After which will be presented
the thrilling farce entitled ''Sketches in
Indla," in which, Mr.. Harry Everett will
appear as 'Tom Tate As he is an old
tavOrite with the theatre-goers of our city,
we know the house will be crowded to over
flowing. MIR. Everett's reputation as a
comedian is so well established, that we
need not assure the people that be will
wind up the week satisfactorily to the vota-
ries of mirth and pleasure. At the matinee
this afternoon, Mrs Bowers will again do
east Lynne" which was so much admired
on Thursday evening. A full attendance
is necessarily anticipated.

White, the gloomy, misanthrOpical hypO-
condriac of the Lebanon Herald rose last
Wednesday from his bed to which he had
been confined for week, in order to write:
sit was the general remark, when the
Press Association was in session at Pulaski,
that Bell, of the UNION AND AMERICAN,
seemed to be remarkably low-spirited. His
wonted genial smile had vanished, and one
would have thought that he had just re-
turned from his grandmother's funeral, as
it were. He wouldn't drink any of Cox's
wine, and we noticed him, at the Govern
ors reception, standing near the parlor
door, after supper with a glass of wine
jelly in one hand and turkey-leg in the
other, gazing idly intOvacancy, his thoughts
evidently far away. All this was satisfac-
torily explained when we read his marriage
an event the near approach of which
none ofus suspected. We tender the SINGER
est congratulations, which are none the less
hearty for being so long delayed"

RAILROADS AND PASSENGERS,
RIGHTS.

In Lynn county, Iowa, S. J. Mckinley. a
travelling agent, has recovered ST., 600 dam
ages against the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company for injuries received at
the hands of muscular brakeman who
handled him roughly because he insisted
upon resUming seat in what is called the
''ladies' car which he had occupied for
part of the trip he was making, and
upon which he had left his coat
and Satchel. Another recent case
is reported where a passenger hav-
ing had the audacity to enter a
''ladies' car was promptly elected, and in
consequence recovered 81, 800 damages from
the railroad company. In Kansas a case
has just been decided which involves a new
principle, 50 far as judicial decisions are
concerned. \ respectable physician of
Kansas City bought a ticket, which was
taken up by the conductor and a check Civ
Ell him in its stead. The doctor put
the check in his hat band and then
INDUCED i'll nap, from which he
was rudely awakened by the con-
duetor, who charged him with steal
ing the check from a passenger in the for
ward car. The result was that the doctor
was put off the train, and the railroad COM
pany was colnpelled 10 pay Sl,0O0 and costs
for the Inconvenience and indignity he suf-
fered. One more case, recently decided in
Dixon, ILL.,, is also worth notice from its
novelty. A man named Reed purchased
ticket and went on board a Pullman palace
car, but lost it after entering the car and be-
fore exhibiting it to the conductor. Though
he procured a written statement from
the ticket agent to prove that he had
boughtandpaidforhi ticketthe conductor of
the car expelled him, whereupon he brought
an action against the Pullman Palace Car
Company for damages, and recovered 49,.
000 In the course of time the managers
of railroad companies generally are likely
to learn that it will be for their interest to
employ only courteous and sensible con-
ductors, and to instruct all their EMPLOYEES
that passengers have rights which it is not
proper todisregard.

A rather ludicrous incident happened a
little while ago in well-known London
CHURCH, st. Lawrence Jewry. Just as the
clergyman had began the communion SER
vice, and had got as far as "Our Father
Who art in Heaven" he was astonished by

This permission has been framed so as to

$4,000 FOR A LEG.
From the Charleston (Mo.) Courier.

From the Charleston (Mo) Courier.
a special term of the New Madrid Cir
cult Court, Judge Hawkins presiding, was
held last week for the purpose of hearing
the suit of William Nelson, of this city,
against the st. Louis and Iron Mountain
Railroad Company, for $4,000 damages,
for injuries received.
February %, 1869, Nelson, who was EN-
plOyed as brakeman by the railroad, was
crushed while coupling cars near this city:
one leg was crushed so badly that amputa-
ton was necessary, and the other foot was
crushed and laceIated.
The suit was first brought in this
county, but the defendants prayed for a
change of venue to Scott county, which was
granted by consent. Afterward the defend
ant by affidavit applied for another change
of venue, which was granted. New Mad
rid county was selected, and the trial took
place last week and occupied three days,
and resulted in a verdict of SD, 900 for the
nlaintif,

HARRY EVERETT tonight as Tom Tate.

MEN can live and work on grapes and
bread. The peasantry of France, Spain
and Italy make many a satisfying meal in
this way, and Of the wholesmeness of this
diet there can be no doubt. Medical men
constantly recommend the use of grapes
for their patients. Scarcely any plant can
equal the vine as regards the beauty of its
leaves and fruit. As covering for bare
walls and atiording shelter and shade it is
a climber of the first rank. To sit under
ones own vine has in all ages been cOnsd-
cred the acme of rural happiness-an en-
blem Of peace, a symbol of plenty, and
picture Of contentment.
