the building of the New York a Canada Rail

ELoPEMENT.-Quite an excitement was ere
ated recently, at the residence OF a prominent
citizen of Dandy, over the marriage Of his
daughter. 1t appears that the parents of the
Young lady lelt home on Monday of last week
for visit to the west, and on the Thursday
following the daughter was married unbeknown
to her parents, TO gentleman of Dandy. The
parties were married in Rutland The parents
have been cognizant Of the intention of tho
couple, and being opposed to the marriage,
have used every effort they could to prevent it.
On Friday the couple returned home, and pro-
ceedcd to the home OF the young lady for her
clothing and effects, The husband was met in
the yard by her brother, a lad Of some twelve
years of age, with butcher knife and was
kept at bay. The parties, however, returned
during the night, and succeeded in CARRYING of
the young lady's clothing, etc. The affair has
caused considerable talk. 1t is expected, how
ever, as mall such cases, an eventual recOncilu'
ton will take place and the parents will wisely
accept the situation - Rutland Globe.

A Coon TnrNG FOR MONTPELIER The build
ing and opening of the Montpelier Il Well
river railroad is one of the most suspicious
events for Montpelier that has ever occurred.
BY the prudence and sagacity Of its business
manager, James c. French, Esq, who has
manfully encountered all difficulties, and hest
tated at nothing, even to the pledging OF his
own personal credit to the extent othis means,
the road has been kept independent of those
anxious to gobble it, and Montpelier now
enioys, what few other towns in the State can
boast the benefit of competing line. 1t will
not be long before the business men will dis.
cover that this fact alone is worth a dozen
times as much as the possession OF the Capitol
The road runs through productive country
and a large business will Immediately become
tributary TO it.-St Adams Messenger.

among which were the herds Of l.. r..

former consisting Of Durham, and the latter Of
Devon cattle. There was a very creditable dis.

al Wewoud not fail to mention the beautiful
floral offerings of Mrs n. G. Joslyn, Mrs. u.

the iine appearance Of the Hall Thoprincipal
feature Of the trotting was the race between

more central for the adjacent towns in Wi.
