A snlena,a sepsa,Ion spolIea.

CHICAGO, March ia story was
published here this morning of the
mysterious and forcible abduction, on
last Friday, of a respectable young
lady, living with her parents, ia the
southern part of the city, by two men,
who seized her in broad daylight, while
she was crossing the street, placed her
in a hack, blindfolded her eyes, and
drove to a house in a part of the city
strange to her, and kept her under lock
and key, guarded by an old woman,
until the next evening, when she was
permitted to escape, and found
her way home. No violence OF
insult was offered her during heI
captivity, and from remark Of the
old woman on first seeing her,
she was led to believe that the men had
kidnapped the wrong girl. This is, IN
brief, the story of the young lady, who
had indeed mysteTiously disappeared Oh
the day mentioned, and who was being
searched for by the police and heI
anxious parents all the next day. "a
the sensation is spoiled by the discovery
to-day that the young lady went on Fri
day morning to Joliet, where she has
friends, and returned from there Satur-
day evening, and concOeted the roman.
tic story Of her capture to cover her es.

CONCORD, March 1.-The annual

Inissioners, three members Of congress,
State ccunsellors and members of the
legislature, took place to-day. The can
vass has been remaxkably quiet, and in
many localities twas difficult TO reach
the voting places in consequence of the
bad weather and deep snow. Governor
Straw received the support OF the Re
publicans for reelection, and Ex-Gov-
ernor Jas. A. Weston was supported by
the Democrats. S. K. Mason and John
Blackmer were the nominees of the
Liberal Republicans and prohibitory
IiquOr-law men respectively for gov
ernor. The present congressional SEN
ators, Hibbard, Bell and Parker, Dem
ocrats, were candidates for reelection.
The Republican candidates were w. B.
Small, A. F. Pike and T. q. Griffin.
Eighty towns give Straw Republican,,
II, $50; Weston (Democrat), 1852;
Blackmer (Temperance), 401; Mason

THE FIRST STEAMBOAT.

A correspondent of one ofthe New Hamp-
shire papers writing from Oxford, says:
Everybody knows, or ought to know, that
Capt. Samuel Morey, of Oxford, was the in
ventor of applying steam to locomotion. As
early as 1913, long before Fulton's name
had been mentioned In connection with
steam navigation, Mr.. Morey had construct
ed small boat, just large enough to con-
tain himself and the rude machinery, con-
nected with a steam boiler, and handful
of wood, and made few successful trips
on the Connecticut River. He held cores
pondence with Prof. Silliman ofNeW Haven
and others, who gave him encouragement.
Some Of these are still extant. Soon after /,
Morey went with a model to New York
(the steam engine is still in existence), and
held interviews with Livingston and Full
ton, to whom he showed all, and opened
bis plans. They offered him 500, 900 for it,
if be would return home and make some
slight alterations. Taking friendly leave,
he returned, and when he had completed
these alterations he went again to New
York, and found Fulton had bought of
Livingston and obtained apatent. Morey
ever after, to the day of his death, oh Urged
Fulton with superseding him in obtaining a
patent. There are living witnesses who
testify of these repeated complaints"

Chicago Corn Trade

In a late issue of the Chicago Tribune,
we find the following:
"For some days past two or three parties
have been buying large amounts for de-
livery in March, and today there was
good inquiry for immediate delivery, one
party buying about 100000 bushels at the
outside figure, and he did not seem to think
that he paid very much money for great
deal of corn. The general feeling is one of
firmness, though there is no particular
strength manifested. Not many weeks ago
many looked for decline of CSC per bu-
shell Now the majority seem to believe
that prices are down to the bottom. The
yield of corn last year was very extensive,
but on account of the comparatively low
prices ruling, and also on account of the
fact that the corn would not pay its way to
market, let alone the cost CT production,
when 200 miles or more west of Chicago,
has stimulated the home consumption,
much corn being turned into pork, and
more or less into ashes"
