Boxing His Ears,

On Friday evening Of last week, Thos.
Daniels of Danvillc, was Just drunk enough
TO want to attract attention. Meeting Con-
ductor Parllhurst on the depot platform at
st. Johnsbury says the Lyndon Union he
asked him if lie didn't want to hire man.
After looking the gentleman over Park
hurst concluded that he didn't want any of
that kind Of help, and Daniels was mad
about it. After passing some words, Dan
iels attempted to box Parkhurst's cars,
when Station Agent Boyce appeared and
intcrlercd. Daniels was all ready for q
fight and after boxing around the platform
long enough, Policeman Ward was called
and proposed to put him in Jail. Daniels
labored under the impression that the mer
able to put him in Jail had been dead fol
several years, and after expressing himself
to that effect, II lively interview followed
Boyce, Ward and Daniels cut number Of
nourishcs, all being in u bunch, rolling
about on the ground. Daniels, however
generally occupied bottom place. Pro
missing to travel towards the Jail, he wa
let up several times and each time showed
fight, and was grounded again. At las
Fairbanks express team came to the res
cue, into which Daniels was tumbled ant
drawn off to Jail. The next morning h
paid fine and went home, having seen al
the sights he was curious about.

Hyde, Committee:
GENTLEMEN In reply to your favor OF the
eth ut, beg to say that have directed ful
investigation OF the rates charged by lines lead
ing from the Pennsylvania quarrlcs, with the
following result, VIZ:
ISL our rates average less per ton per mile
than Is charged by lines leading from the quar-
rieS to New York
I'd. That the rates to the west are somewhat
less from the Pennsylvania quarries, owing to
the fact that their Slate is loaded upon trunk
lines, upon which they get long haul.
AS am exceedingly anxious to meet your
Views and do all that can consistently be done
to develop the resources of the country along
the line OF our roads, have directed Mr. Marcy
to endeavOr to make an arrangement with II
through line to the. west which Will place you
ON as favorable terms as the Pennsylvania
companies.
As to the New York and Albany markets. our
rates of freight arc certainly as low II not lower
than anything that can be obtained by any
OF your competitors ana as the prices now
charged are reasonably low and less than the
usual charge for similar distances upon rail-
roads generally. must respectfully decline to
have said to Mr.. Marcy that he might eX-
anime into and report upon the points where
| you compete in the eastern states, and II he
| confer with you upon the subject and cndeavor

| 1t VIII not be amiss to state that the uniform

A Case of Troubled True Love
AN ELoPEMENr AND A BRIDEGROOM CONVICTED
ARDuCrInN.

AN ELoPEMENr AND BRIDEGROOM CONVICTED OF
ABDUCTION.
Ayoung man living in Burlington county, N. j.,
became enamored with the daughter of neigh
boring farmer, she being under fifteen years of
age, and his love was reciprocated. The man
was about to start for an adjoining county, say
ing that he would wait for her Eve years il ne
cessary The girl could not bear the thought of
separation, and at length agreed to elope. The
pair walked seven miles though the pines
and sand to his fathers house, and early
the next morning were taken to the railway sta
ton and thence to Philadelphia, where they
were married by an Alderman, the girl declaring
her age to be eighteen.
They returned to the house of the groom's
sister at Haddonfield, where they were confront
ed by the father of the bride and officers. The
groom was arrested and committed to jail On
charge of abduction. Subsequently he was m
dicted by the Grand Jury, and on Wednesday
last arraigned for trial. The court room was
packed by an audience whose sympathies were
centered upon the couple. The girl, like true
heroine assumed her share of the blame, ad-
mtted her affection for her husband and her
willinnness to quit her fathers house, and asser-
ted her belief in the honor of her husband.
Mr.. G.. s. Cannon, formerly Attorney General,
delivered an eloquent defenctr but Judge Wood
hull charged that the jury mustnot be influenced
by appeals to their sympathy. The jury was out
all night, returning five times for instructions,
and at length rendered verdict of guilty, with
a recommendation for mercy. On the rendering
of the verdict the prisoner was seized with con-
vulsions, which continuing sentence WAS deferred
until the December term. Much sympathy il en-
tertained for the defendant, who is esteemed an
honorable, upright man.

Living 80 Years In IL Cave.
HOW AN AGED HERMIT SPENDS HIS LIFE-LIvI,
UPON FRUIT AND WILD GAME.

HOW AN AGED HERMIT SPENDS HIS LIFE-LIvINa
UPON FRUIT AND WILD GAME.
In the wilderness, eight miles northwest of
Dingmans Ferry, Pike Co., underneath huge
rock in small cave, six by eight feet, has lived
for upwards of thirty years human being
named Austin Sheldon. He was born in Wales
and emgrated to this country about 1910. When
he landed in New York he had small sum of
money with which he came afoot to Pike county,
and purchased single acre of wild, uncultivated
scrub-oak land, situated i'll Lehman township,
amid dense and dismal forest, several miles
from any habitaton.
At the western end of this small strip of land
is q cave only six by eight feet. In this cave
without any alterations or improvements, this
hermit has for more than thirty years made his
home.
The hermit is nearly seventy years of age.
His face has not been shaven for forty years.
The sides of his face, and chin, and neck are
covered with coarse gray hair, while his beard is
several feet in length, and white as snow. He
wears the same suit of clothes he wore twenty
years ago, which are 30 badly rent as to render
it necessary to fasten them together by means of
twisted hickory withes. He never works, and
unless obliged to go to the nearest store for am
muniton, never leaves sight of his cave.
His mode of living is peculiar. His diet con-
sists principally of berries and fruit during their
season, while in the winter he subsists on vari-
GUS kinds of wild game. His education was not
neglected during his boyhood, for he is we'll
read and remarkably intelligent. He is firm
believer in religion, and devotes most of his
time reading the Bible and other sacred works.
He is deaf, and has been 30 for several years,
rendering it necessary to communicate with him
by means of writing. He has the faculty of
charming birds many OF which he has secured
in this way and reared.
He has never used lamp nor candle in the
cave. His bed is composed OF straw scattered up
on solid rock. Sheldon enjoys this peculiar
mode of living, and says he expects to make this
cave his final resting place.

Political Notes.

The Smyrna Times says "a number of the
Eastern Shore Democrats are not overly we'll
pleased at the nomination of Philip Francis
Thomas, of Easton, for Congress. Not
that they are opposed to Mr.. Thorn
as particularly, but Queen Annes which
has not had Congressman for something like
forty years, and Caroline, which has been
turned empty away for over fifty years, are not
disposed to look upon Talbots good fortune
with that degree of equanimity that good har-
mony would seem to require. Talbot enjoyed
the honor for four years, and then it was be-
slowed upon Worcester, under protest from
the two counties above named. Worcester hav-
ing given it up, however, Talbot is again sue
cessful, after recess of only two years. What
else could Queen Anne's and Caroline do but get
mad when they compared this two years recess
with half a century, Mr.. Heating Of the for
mer county and Mr.. Fields Of the latter, and
their friends, could not be expected to be in a
tranquil mood.
