We publish the following govern
ing the transfer of titles, for the ben
eft of persons buying or selling real
estate, who may not know of its ex-
istence. It's observance will often
save trouble and annoyance to the
parties interested, and facilitate the
work of the auditor and recorder:
Sec. 16. The county auditor shall,
on application and presentation Of
title, with such aflidavits as may be
required by law, or the proper order
eff a court, transfer any land or town
lot, or part thereof, charged with
taxes on the duplicate, from the
name in which it may stand into the
name of the owner, whenever rem
dered necessary by any conveyance,
partition, devise, descent, or other
wise; and if, by reason of.the con-
yeyance or otherwise, a part only
ofany tract or lot, as charged on the
duplicate, is to be transferred, the
part or parties desiring the transfer,
shall make satisfactory proof of the
value of such part as compared with
the valuation of the whole, as charged
on the duplicate, before the transfer
shall he made; and the auditor shall
endorse on the deed or other evi-
dences Of title presented to him, that
the proper transfer of the real es-
tatate therein described has been
made in his Office, or that the same
is not entered for taxation, and sign
his name thereto; and deed of abso-
lutte conveyance shall not be re-
corded by any county recorder until
thus indorsed.-Qdio Lars, eol. 67,

Novel Runaway Matches Even fol

A singular incident happened OF
the L., C. & L. train conducted by
Capt. Clohessy, the other day. An
old gentleman and his hopeful son
of about nineteen summers got on
the cars at Cropper's Station, in
company with two blooming lasses
Their appearance and actions excit-
ed some suspicion, and upon inquiry
it was ascertained that the two gen
tlemen were runaway lovers and the
two ladies' cousins, who were going
to become of one flesh with the faith
er and son respectively. The father,
discreet man that he was, had cho-
sen the elder of the two maidens,
who was about twenty, and the son
had taken the younger, a blooming
miss ofeighteen. They accomplish
ed their journey in safety, were mar
ried in Jeffersonville, and returned
by Capt. Clohessy's train again. It
was quite amusing to see them as
they chuckled over their success in
outwitting the stern parents of the
girls-leaning across the isle to
whisper to each other, and resuming
their erect attitude TO give an afiec-
tionate squeeze to the fair ones by
their sides. We never before heard
Of father and son running off on the
same train to get married, but pre-
sumo it is well to have that kind of
confidence existing in the same fam
ily.
