Eloped With His Sister in-L Law.

Francis Denham, brute in human
form, who lived near the Cumberland
river, in this county, left his wife and
six children few days since, in desti-
tute circumstances, and eloped with
his wife's sister, foolish young girl
of about fourteen. years of age, Miss
Sophia Massey, daughter of Nicholas
Massey. Denham had about $S5 in
money when he left. He pretended
to have been courting the girl for a
young man named Smith, and bad
pretended to arrange an elopement be-
tween the girl and Smith. His wife
and the girls mother are nearly crazed
over the affair. and but little hopes
are entertained for their recovery. 1t
is not known which course Denham
took, but it is hoped he may be over
taken in his crime. The girl is rather
simple- minded. The affair is greatly
regretted, and the afflicted family OF
the girl have the sympathy of the en-
tire community, as they are nice peo-
pie and much respected. -SOmer'set

Mr.. H. w. Butler, of the firm OF Starbuck &
Butler, was excited last evening, and his
many friends were alarmed, until they
learned that he was the happy father of a
bouncing boy. AS this is the first, his nerv-
BUSINESS is excusabe, but we trust in time he
will become used to these little episodes,
which are liable to occur in the best reyula-
ted families.
Gov. Downey's hosp.table mansion was
open TO callers on New Years Day, and Mrs.
Downey, assisted by the Misses Kelly and
Gately, welcomed a host ofguests. Mrs. John
G. Wheeler and daught ers, at the Grand Gen.
tral, assisted by Mrs. and Miss Whiting dis
pensed elegant New Years cheer to many
visitors. Mrs. and Miss O'Melveny were
among those who kept ope house and re-
ceived a throng of guests.

On Sunday evening the Congregational
Sunday School Concert was we'll attended, /,
and resulted in generous collection for the
school. The manner in which the young
folks performed their parts reflected great
credit upon themselves and those who had
the management Of the affair. The singing
by amateurs, assisted by the Misses Chase,
was a very pleasant feature of the occasion.
Taken all in all these. Sunday School con-
certs in the different churches are exceeding
ly pleasant and popular.
The Washington Gardens are one of the
chief attractions or Los Angeles, and the
stranger visiting them New Years d.y or
Sunday would have been surprised at the
large attendance and the quality of the
amusements supplied. Mr.. Wadron has
been, and is now, at great expense with the
Gardens and nothing but large audiences will
pay him, as he appears determined to keep
up high class of amusements. During the
holidays the animals have held grand levees,
and it is amusing to notice what q charm
they have for the children, who seem 10th to
cease looking at them. Nor should we forget
the elegant diawng-room entertainments
which are given week by week in the spacious
hall by artists of no mean ability to appre-
ciative audiences. During the holidays a
pantomime has been played and deservedly
proved a draw,"a as Sundays crowd testified.
A lady amateur essayed the leading part with
great credit to herself and all the Other per-
formers, amateurand professional, acquitted
themselves admirably. Whether Mr.. Wal
dron is satisfied or not, we are unable to say,
but this we can say, his patrons are.

For nearly twenty years the farmers
and cntomologists of the West have been
studying the habits, constitution and
weakness of this same potato bug. They
have subjected him to all kinds of tests,
and fed him on all kinds of substances,
and they have all settled down to the
conclusion that the only thing known
under heaven and among men which his
iron-clad stomach won't digest without
serious trouble is Paris green. Fed on
anything else which it is practicable to
give him. he laughs and grows fat. He
is at home in an ash-heep, relishes lime
water, and .oppcras only incites him to
new dcpredations: but Paris green gives
him the cholera morbns, and puts an
end to his career. And even if it were
possible to find another poison as cffec-
tive. it would hardly be worth while to
hunt for it, Paris green is cheap and
rs easily and safely applied as any sub
stance could be. Ii we won't poiso /
the bug. we must pick him or rely upon
his natural enemies. There are para
sites which destroy him. and well edn-
Gated duck will make omclets of mil
lions of his eggs, and put away many OF
his young. SO we say to our farmers.
pick them il you will-sct the fowls and
birds to eat him if you can-but when
it comes to destroying him, rely on Paris
green. Manchester Mirror.
