A ROMANTIC DDINd.--During the time OF his
service as a Justice OF the Peace, william Plero
Esq. has had 10 pass through several novel
scenes In a business way but perhaps the most
extraordinary occurrence OF all happened the
other day. Allowing and very fine looking young
couple from the eastern part Of the county, who
perhaps had read several Of Mrs, Holiness novels,
drove up In front Of the cassidy block where the
young man alighted from the carriage and went
TO the 'squire's office and blandly informed his
honor that a young lady and he desired to be
married Immediately The ]. p, asked II the
young lady was lingering patiently about In the
vicinity, and II so, requested the young man TO
produce her and the necessary certificate, and he
would bind them as one In about as short time
as the necessary legal process would admit off,
but the young man had something on his mind
and he released II In this manner
"see here, Squire, we want something In this
line little out OF the ordinary and II It's all the
same to you, we would prefer going 10 some quiet
shady street, and be married in the open air,
where the birds can SEQ us and sing, you know ;
that's what we have decided on, and If you can
tie us up as we'll while we remain In the carriage
1t would be great satisfaction to u.s."
The Squire saw the point they made, and in
moment he was In the carriage with the romantic
pair, and directing them TO a retired place on
Poplar street, Just across the street from the side
entrance to the first Methodist church, he soon
performed the ceremony and extended congratu-
lations, when they drove of, doubtless as happy
as any couple who were ever welded in grand
church with ten or more attendants There were
but two witnesses to the ceremony-two gentle
men who happened along at the right time and
saw that something unusual was going on,

RUNAWAY HoRsEs.-Last Saturday forenoon
lively young team driven by Christian Krupf, Of
Plain township, ran away with an empty hay
wagon. Krupf left the team standing for mo-
ment In front of the grocery at the corner Of
Third and Market, when they took fright at
something and dashed down Market street and
through the square at frightful speed, narrowly
escaping collisions with several vehicles on the
way and finally running against hitching post
at the southeast corner Of Seventh and Market 1t
broke off and threw both Of them on the sidewalk
In front of Bostick & Keeier's hat store and be.
fore they could arise and continue the excite
ment, they were captured. One of the horses was
somewhat injured but not seriously, and the
large plate show window in the hat store cracked
by chain which few against It, Saturday eve
ming about 6 o'clock, there was another runaway
on East Fifth street, horse attached TO carriage
but no particular damage was done.

A SAD sUIcIDE.-A week ago last Sunday, at
about O'clock p M, Miss sallie Kelly, daughter
OF James Kelly, whose home is near New Cham
bersburgh, Columbiana county, took dose Of
poison which resulted in her death. The poison
was taken at the house of friend named Jesse
Messimore, and when 1t became apparent to the
inmates Of the house that the girl had really poi
soned herself 1t was too late to summon medical
assistance in time to save or be of any avail, and
at 12 o'clock she died violent death. Before she
died she told that she wanted the world, and her
friends particularly, 10 know that she committed
the deplorable act on account Of an unrequited
love, the young man in question being named
Cutler, and resident of Stark county. The
affair is truly lamentable and especially shock
ing to the relatives and friends of the deceased,
who held her in great esteem Her father will
probably be well known to the numerous mem.

nomination as Treasurer of State before the DEM
ocratic State Convention. Allow me also to ex-
press my gratitude to many friends all over the
State for their warm and earnest expressions OF
support. Circumstances unnecessary to detail In
duce me to withdraw. These are of personal
and political nature having in view the success
and welfare of the party in the county. When I
assented to the use of my name, Mr.. Howells had
not been mentioned, and knowing that two can
didates from one county for the same position in
our State Convention would only destroy each
others chances, I cheerfully yield, hoping my
friends every where will give their influence to
