PIcNio.-The picnic Of the Bethany church
Sunday School yesterday, at Owls Head, was a
most enjoyable affair, about two hundred and
fifty being in attendance. The little ones en-
joyed it highly, and we thought we saw some
" children Of a larger growth " who were far
from being dissatisfied. The band was in at
tendance, and added much to the occasion. No
accident Of any account occurred, and we trust
to record many similarly pleasant excursions
The excursionists are under obligations to the
Montpelier & Wells River railroad for an extra
train, leaving here at nine o'clock, AN

A VERMONT ROMANCE. Mr.. James Ward, a
wdower, and his daughter Josephine, seven
teen years of age, resided, about year ago, in
Bennington. A book agent named Oscar Penn
appeared in the town, asked Josephine's hand
and heart and won them, subject to her father :
consent. Penn asked the father, who promised
to give n definite answer within a week
Awaiting himself of the old mans absence,
Penn told Josephine that he had refused his
consent, and induced her to elope. They
eloped accordingly, and were married. Ward
had now made inquiries, and found that Penn
was Sing Sing convict and badly wanted by
the police, lie started alone in pursuit, and
the trail. 10 February last an old friend in
formed Ward that his daughter had been seen,
some weeks before, going to HOLSTER, CAL, on
the Southern Pacific railroad Ward at once
made for San Francisco, and with his friend
reached HOLSTER and after a long quest found
his lost daughter at a Spanish ranehero, four
miles north Of Salinas City. She was in a
high fever, but recognized him at once. The
story of her flight was afterwards told. Her
husband had dragged her with him to Chicago,
through Kansas and on TO California, having
plenty OF money all the time, but no apparent
method Of getting IT, In March she gave
birth to child which died in three days
whilst the inhuman wretch had ill-used her
most brutally all through her sickness as well
as after her recovery. lie deserted her at last
and, dressing herself in one of the suits OF
clothes he had left, she had hired out as a
shepherd. She hinted on the wayside, and
was taken into the house where her father
| found her.
