A Cute Lovers Stratagem.

At the Adams House.in this place, about
O'Clock last Tuesday evenings Squire
Raines terminated a rather romantic and
originally gotten-up first class elopement,
by uniting in wediock John w. Shroyer,
of Waterloo, and Miss Mary Krantz, from
six miles north of La Porte City. Itseems
that for some time they had contemplated
committing matrimony, but for an equal
length of time the father of the fair Mary
had firmly, if not fercely, insisted that no
such affair should ever take place, and was
moving her by night from place to place
in order that no meeting should take place
between the lovers. But they were deter
mined, fearless and ready, and accordingly
young ShrOyer procured one of Waterl0o's s
most spanking livery rigs, proceeded to
La Porte City, and was soon in private and
earnest consultation with his lawyer. As
the young lady was of age, ha6eas corpus,
etc., were suggested, but would not an
swer the emergency, such process being
too slow, when immediate action was nee
essary. AT last a happy though occurred
to Mr.. Shroyer, which was successfully
carried out thusly: He remembered once
having dropped his breastSpin and Mary
playfully picking it up had kept it. Capt.
tai! He would have her arrested that very
night for stealing the pini He according
ly swore out q warrant before Justice Nc
Quilkin. Constable A. Cotton Immediate
ly proceeded to the domicile of the cruel
and obdurate ''parient," closely followed
bv Shroyer, and arrested the girl at 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning, before the very
eyes of the father and another sritor for
his daughters hand whom the father-but
not the girl muchly-smiied favorably
upon. The officer had proceeded about
forty yards toward La Porte. when he
handed his fair prisoner over to his hastily
empowered deputy, Shroyer. Mr.. Cotton
says it was the Hveliest driving he ever did
irving to keep up with that Waterloo
rigi Arriving at La Porte City Shroyer
withdrew his actionf for theft and paid the
costs, but steadily prosecuted his other
claim for a warranty of the girls hand. in
the shape of a marriage certificate, by driF-

!, Animals and Firearms.

That crows and many other species of
birds have little fear of man when he. is
unarmed is a familiar fact, and suggests
that they fear him chiefly because OF the
weapons he carries. In Scotland where
shooting was prohibited on Sunday, crows
and rocks were gentle and fed around
buildings without concern. Singularly
enough, the same thing was observed of
animals by DIR. Tristram when travelling
in the wilderness of Moab, where the
sound of gun is quite rare. He says:
we were struck with the sagacity which
all the wild animals showed in the matter
of firearms, little familiar as they can be
with them here. AS it was Sunday, we
strcfled or sat down among the ruins with
ont our fowling pieces, and were conse-
quently objects of Indifference. a fine
fox sat and looked at us a dozen times
among the stone-heaps, and just walked
away, keeping almost within gunshot all
the afternoon. The Sakkr falcon sat calm
ly on his favorite perch, and allowed us 10
reconnoiter him on Sunday, while the ea-
gle, owls, sand-grouse and partridge,
showed similar contempt tor unarmed
Europeans"
