ELOPEITENT.
Great Sensation Ina Parls.----Two Well
known and Respected Citizens, tired
OF this Vicinity, Seek a Home I'm
Foreign Localities.

Last Wednesday afternoon the people
of this vicinity were astonished by ru-.
NOR which foated from some unknown
quarter, affecting the character and con-
duet of two well-known citizens Of South
Paris. The worst rumor was fully con-
frmed when the facts in the case were
made public
There never was moro surprised and
grieved community than this, as it became
generally known that Mr.. r. F. Doten
and Mrs. Frank Skillings, had. in COM
-pany, left for parts unknown.
Mrs. Skillings is a woman about 80
years of age. She has two children, girls,
one l6 the other Is years cid. About a
year since she lost little daughter, and
since that time her most intimate friends
have observed unmistakablc evidences Of
alteration of mind. Last week she left
home stating that she was intending to
visit friend in Yarmouth. Before leav-
ing Paris, she entrusted several letters to
a friend, with instructions to deliver them
on Wednesday. In the letter to her hus-
band she used expressions of regard and
love, and added that she hoped to come
and see him at times-certainly prepos-
ferrous proposition for a sane person to
make. \ SISTER of Mrs. Skillings COM
mitted suicide some years ago by casting
herself beneath the wheels of lOcomo-
tive. Mrs. 5. was well known in this
vicinity as finely cultured, well read
and eminently lovely woman. For long
time she has sung in the South Paris Con-
gregatioual choir.
Mr.. Doten is a mild, harmless looking
young man, slender and Of light complex
ION. In the presence Of ladies he always
appears diffdent, ard at times, exceedingly
bashful, being so constituted no person so
unlikely to commit this crime could have
been selected. His age is about p.
For several years Mr. Doten has been
proprietor, in partnership with Mr.. Skill
lings, of the Paris FIGURING Mills. Re-
Gently he removed to Portland in order to
take charge Of the branch Office in that
city. He Is an excellent business mau, 4
remarkably fine accountant, and correct
book-keepcr. Before leaving, he closed
up his accounts, aud drew IS, 800 which
he claimed was his share Of the business
lie has written a letter from New York,
giving reasons for his sudden departure,
/ and also returned the safe kew. All the
COmpanys affairs were left in an excellent
condition. charming bit Of honesty to
enlighten these benighted times.
So far nothing has been heard concern
ing the whereabouts of the unhappy pair.
No action has been taken TO secure their
arrest, as it is probable short time will
suffice to show them the folly Of their
course.
The family Of Mrs. Skillings has the
heartfelt sympathy Of this community in
It's distress.

SECRETARY.
On reading the above report you will
observe that your correspondent in the
last DEMOCRAT sang his requiem over the
wrong grave entirely, and for the PUP
pose OF setting the West Paris boys (who
never do things at halves) right. let me
say that the article referred TO in Your
last'issue does our boys injustice. The
facts are these: January. 18Th inst, the
time appointed for meeting, was quite
rainy. but | believe every one of the Iron
Clad Toys were on band and also a good
number OF general pledges. but on &C.
count OF rain it V as deemed inadyisable
10 attempt TO ho,d a meeting.
Instead OF this by your correspondent
Lightly they'll talk OF the spirits that's gone,
And Ger his perfumes upbraid him;
But little he'll risk if they'll let him sleep on
In the Craze where West Paris has inst laid him 8,
Please read FIR his benefit
swiftly AID gladly re laid him down,
From the field OF his name and this story;
we carved not line, We raised not stone.
But LEFT him alone with his glory.n
