AN ELoPEMENT AND WHAT CAME OF
TIA young man about twenty years old,
living in Randolph township, Burlington
county, New Jersey, some months ago be
came deeply attached to the daughter of a
nelghboring farmer, who, although large
OF her age, was not fifteen years of age.
She reciprocated his love, and he agreed to
wait five years, or more if it was neces-
sary, before wedding her: but when he
made his preparations to GO to an adjoin-
ing county to work, SHE was so heart
broken that an elopement was decided
upon, and meeting him agreeable to prom
Use, they trudged seven miles to his fathers
house, where she was taken care Of till the
next day, when they went to Philadelphia,
where they were married: the girl telling
the officiating alderman that she was
eighteen years Of age They returned to
the house of the groom'S sister, at Had
donield, where they were confronted. by
the enraged father of the BRIDE armed
with a warrant for the arrest of the groom
for abducting his daughter. The accused
was seized, taken before a magistrate, and
committed to jail, from which ha was
finally bailed. He was indicted under the
twelfth section Of the law in relation to
crimes, for taking away female under
the age of fifteen without the consent of
her father. Last week the case was called
for trial in the Burlington Court of Oyer,
before Judge Woodruff, the courtroom
being crowded with a deeply interested
crowd at the trial. The girl, in her exami-
nation, declared her love for him, and
assumed her share of blame in the matter,
expressing her belief in his honorable in
tentiOnS q belief in which the spectators
seemed to share.
The Judge charged tbs jury that the law
had been violated, and the members should
not be Influenced by any appeals to THEN
sympathy The jury was out the entire
Might, and came in several times for ill.,
structions. Finally they rendered their
verdict of guilty, united with recommen-
dation to the mercy OF the Court. AS soon
as the verdict was announced the young
man was seized with commissions, which
lasted so long that it was deemed best not
to sentence him, and bail was accordingly
given for his appearance at the December
term.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.-A most sim
guiar incident in connection with the death
of Bishop Lee, of Iowa, has come to light
A private letter from Davenport, Iowa,
contains the follow ng: 1--WE have seen
very anxious the last two weeks over the
Illness of Bishop Lee, which terminated in
his death ON Saturday morning. The whole
community are saddened by the event.
Some two months ago he got up IN the night
and took Il bath, and. on returning to his
room he made mistake and stepped OIL IL
long flight OF stairs, and landed III lie loot
with u tremendous crash, as he was very
heavy, weighing over two hundred pounds
1t aroused the whole family, and Mrs. Lee
md Carrie sprang from their beds, ana,
lighting each i candle, went to see what had
happened, and found the Bishop lying on
the floor Of the entry. He got up, however,
without aid, and seemed to have received
no injury, except few slight bruises,
though his right hand was little lamed.
"Mr f. and myself called on him two
days after, and while telling us the circum-
stance of the fall he mentioned this coin
cidence He had Il letter in his hand, which
he had just received from his son, Henry,
living at Kansas City. His son wrote:
Are you well; for last night had q dream
that troubles me. 1 heard crash, and,
standing up, said to my wife, Did you hear
that crash ? | dreamed that father had a
fall and was dead l got up and looked at
my watch, and it was O'Clock. | coald
not sleep again, so vivid was the dream,
and it made him anXionsto hear from home.
The Bishop said he was not supersti-
tious but he thought it remarkable that
Henry should have had the dream at the
very hour of d the same night on which
| the accident occurred. The difference iii
the time there and here is just fifteen min
utes, and it was 2:15 by his watch. making
it ut the same moment. 1t was as If he had
actually heard the fall And the fall finally
caused the Bishops death. His hand be-
came intensely lainful, and gangrene set
in, which, after two weeks Of Suffering,
terminated his life. We are none Of us
spiritualists, us you know, but surely facts
like this must go far to make us realize
that there is a basis Of truth for their by
| pothesis of spiritual faculties resident in
man. ILow did Henry Lee become cogni-
