-" oUEkCES.

The Rutland Herald says that on
Tuesday, 18th, two men presented
at the town clerks Office
and attempted to procure a license Tor
the marriage of Lee Gilman, of Rut-
land, to Minnie Smith, daughter of
Willard Smith, a wealthy Shrewsbury
farmer. They were unsuccessful,
however, Miss Smiths tender age
(she is only 14) making it necessary
that the consent of her parents should
first be obtained. Next day Gilman
visited the town clerk again, and pre-
scented a letter purporting to be the
written consent of Minnie's mother,
obtained the license. He then drove
to Shrewsbury, and mtercepting his
beloved, on her way home from school,
brought her to Rutland, and they were
married by Rev. Walter Mitchell, rec
tor of Trinity Church. Before night
Mr.. Smith, hearing what had been GO
ing on, came to Rutland, swore out a
writ of habeas corpus and sent Depu-
tv Sheriff Stearns in search of the
pair. They were found concealed IN
the cellar of the old Slocum building,
on West street, and were brought be-
fore Judge Ross, the hearing taking
place in Col. Veazey's Office, he APP
pearing for the plaintiff and l.. W.
Redington for the defense. The lat
ter asked for continuance of the case
till Monday and it was granted, Mrs.
Gilman being consigned to the care OF
Mr.. Steams. The last seen of the
couple they were walking up Center
street arm in arm, and the officer near
by. 1t seems sad to break in upon
their dream of bliss thus, but Gilman
is % years old and should have known
better than to try toprocure a mother
in-law by forgery. lie is. small in
stature, while his wife, who seems
wholly infatuated with him, is tall and
slim.

The public mind at the north, has
recently been attracted very strongly
to Florida. Upon no state in the IN
ion is there at present SO much interest
concentrated, as this one. During the
present season the whole state has
been literally swarming with visitors
from all sections of ourcountry. The
reasons why people 90 there in pref
erence to the West and to other sec
tons Of the South are: First, the glo-
rious climate. The sea breeze from
the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico
fan the state constantly. From the

Rev. Amadeus Rape who was con-
secrated a Catholic bishop of the do
cese of Cleveland, Ohio, in lS47, and
resigned in 1870, died at st. Adams
Sept. Z, aged a years. He was
we'll known throughout the United
States and Canada as a temperance
reformer and missionary. He was
native of France and came to this
country in company with Bishop De
Goesbriand. When he was parish
priest of Toledo, Ohio, Bishop DeGOes-
BRAND served as curate for the parish.
His funeral took place Tuesday follow
inc at st. Mary's church, st. Adams,
and his remains were taken to Cleve-
land for burial.
An area greater than the whole of
France is threatened with depopulation
by the famine in British India. A cor
correspondent Of the London Times
Justly says: at seems cruel mock
cry for England to subscribe towards
Bulgarans and others while actually
its own subjects are starving by hun
dreds of thousands" The famine is
confined to the Southern Provinces of
India, which are supported by impor-
tations from the north. Were the
crops to fall below the average in the
| latter section the calamity would be
beyond relief. AS it is, over 800, 900
have persisted by starvation, and the
number of victims will soon run into
the millions. At the head Of the sub
scriptions started 10y the Lord Mayor
of London are the banking houses OF
Rothschild and Barring q Co., each fol
$4,000. To add to the distress the
cattle are dying off, as well as the
poultry.

Upon Hayden's conclusion he sat
down. seemingly iaboring under ter

Judge Powers said in regard to the

We were intensely pleased in read
inc an abstract of Mr.. Ayers remarks
recently made to the teachers OF Bur
Incton. We think we see in Mr. Al
ger what an earnest, cultured common
sense man can do for n city in the po-
sition he now occupies as snpenntend-
ent. Mr.. Alger said:
"The State establishes and main
tains schools not simply for the pur-
pose of developing the intellect nut
for the purpose ofmaking worthy law
abiding citizens of the State, ana To
that end has seen fit To require certain
studies to be taught in our schools,
and also to require that Instruction
should he given in good behavior.
The character of the pupil should al
WAYS be one of the main ends aimed at IN
all courses of study and in all systems
of instruction. BE yourselves what
you what youpupils to be. The maxim
has grown up: "As is the teacher so
is the school," lie also requested all
the teachers to give more than usual
attention this term to the subject OF
characterize truthfulness and hon
esty; and directed them always to no.
tice what was wrong and to give 1t
their disapproyal; never to pass it by
with a smile, or half approval; never
to learn the pupil to think wrong do
ING was smart. They we've charged to
look seriously to these things and to
ponder on them in their hearts. AS
they stood for the time being in the
place of the parent, and as the mother
carries the child in her heart as a re-
sponsibility WHICH she cannot shake of
or dispose of, if she would, SO should
the teacher do, if she would be a sue
cessful teacher.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

Acurious accident Occurredin Platts-
burgh, the other day, by which the
First Presbyterian church was damaged
to a considerable extent. 1t appears
that the sexton had been sprinkling
benzine in the audience room from a
common house or garden sprinkler up
on the cushions and carpets, accord
ing to directions given him, to kill the
moths with which the carpets and up
holstery were infested. He thinks
that about two-thirds Of a barrel of
benzine was used in this manner. At
ter finishing his work up stairs, he
went down into the lecture room ard
made his preparations to start a fire
in the furnace. He ignited a match
when shock came which threw him
some fifteen feet and rendered him in
sensible for some time. The shock
caused an alarm and those who arrived
first and entered the audience room
found the atmosphere hot and impreg-
mated with gas, the carpets and cush-
ions on fire in places, several Of the
memorial windows ruined, the three
small arched windows over the organ
completely shattered, and the heavy
outside front door blown out into the
street. The theory of the explosion
is that the gas given off by the ben
zine being heavier than air, a consid-
cradle quantity leaked down around
the furnace registers into the lecture
room, and as the sexton lit his match it
exploded. The damage is variously
estimated at from $500 to $4,000. 1t
is thought that as a moth eXtermina-
tor, the plan was a success.
