A Supposed Elopement.-A young lady
of Mill Creek Hundred, Delaware, one of
the first families of the neighborhood-
rich, witty and pretty, just from boarding
school, sweet seventeen and her head full
of romance as the NeD York Ledger, or
Saturday Night, disappeared from her
home, on Monday evening last. Search
was made and it was found that gallant
young gentleman of the fast fraternity with
whom the young lady had been correspond
ing, had also disappeared at the same time.
The Agent at Newport station said that
lady and gentleman answering the descrip-
ton of the missing lovers, had purchased
tickets for Elkten. The lady had on
straw hat and calico dress. Two gentle
men come to Elkton the next day in search
of the romantic fugitives, but could get no
clew Of them, we understood. A couple
put up at the Railroad Hotel, who answer
ed the description, it was said, but the
report, we believe, had not much founda-
ton. The name of the lady was reported
to be Chandler, and her lover name Hunt
The name of the Knight is a challenge to

Sale Of the Oliver Property.-Mr. J.
Tome, for the use of the National Bank Of
Elkton, has purchased the brick building
on Main street, known as the "Oliver pro-
perty," for 90, ESQ. AS soon as the build
ing can be fitted up. the Bank will be
moved to it from its present location. The
building was formerly used for the old
Maryland Bank, and has strong, fire
proof vault in it. The price was remarka-
bly, low. We doubt if double the money
would build such house, while the lot on
which it stands, contains nearly half an
acre, and is valuable as location.

There is the whole story in a nut shell.

who have money, but to the poor the shil-

but farming, and that is over done. There
is no money, and wages are low. But |

surdities.

assertion that it is far more important to
the farmer to be able to purchase his sup
plies of dry goods, groceries and hardware

now pays for them - Now, if the gentle
man will tell us how the makers and sell
ers are to be paid when the farmers buy
for one hundred per cent less than he now
pays, he will beat any arithmetic in the
schools. But l suppose that slip was
owing to the heat. The old saw, "noth-
ing from nothing and nothing remains is

ports have dwindled down to almost moth
