Four infants ElOpe.

An extraordinary instance of juvenile
precocity has just come to light in st.
Louis. A lawyer of that city, who re-
turned the other morning from a visit to
Louisville, reports that at Terre Haute,
Ind, his train took on o detective with
two little boys and two little girls in
charge. The boys appeared to b. about
twelve years old, and the girls about q
year older. They are the children Of
respectable parents residing In st.
Louis, and were on their way to New
York for the purpose of getting married.
These two childish couples had been
Sparkling " for some time, and knowing
the utter impossibility of obtaining
paternal consent to marry, concluded to
run away to New York and try their
chances there. By boarding their nick
els for several weeks they saved enough
to pay the fare of the party, and when
everything was in readiness they board
ed q train at the st. Louis bridge, and
took o section of a sleeping al
1t was about midnight when the train
arrived at Terre Haute, and their slum-
bers were rudely disturbed by the
officer, who took the quartette in charge,
and putting them on the western-bound
train, escorted them to st. Louis. The
boys were O good deal disconnected by
the contretemps, and willingly returned
to their homes.
1t seems that the father of IL of the
lads obtained an inkliug Of what was
going on, and on missing his young
hopeful, made inquiries and learned the
route he had taken. A dispatch was sent
to the police at Terre haute, and the
children were captured and sent back tc
St. Louis.

Tie Baby's Strike.

They had a strike up at Mr.. Middle
ribs the other night. The baby struck
for six hours walking every night, in
stead of four, which it has been getting.
The family at first refused to accede to
this preposterons and unreasonable de-
mand, but the baby being a monopoly,
there being no others to supply the place
of the striker, it was able to enforce its
demands, as all sleep was shut off until
a settlement was effected. The only
show of violence was the threat, on the
part of the baby, to make it warm for
the household when it was about four
years older and green apple time came

An Interesting Revolutionary Relic

NA AASS S'SaO
A powder horn picked up on the bat
tlc-feld of Bennington by Samuel Cul-
vel, a soldier of the revolution, is an
interesting relic of the struggle of the
colonies for independence. lti q large
horn, more than a foot in length, and a
map worked out on it from Lake Ontario
to New York. We find on it distinctly
marked in the form of printed letters,
the words: Lake Ontario, Oswege, Lake
George, Wood Greek, Fort Edward,
Saratoga, Saltwater, Skewacet, Albany,
New York, with some other names. The
signature ut tile bottom is "Capt.
(CorporaD Charles Hoyedelette, N. B.,
1853" THIS indicates the owner and the
date. The name is hardly English or
French it may be Hessian. 1t is n
valuable and interesting relic, and helps
to expound the history of those times.
The maker of this map evinced a skill
in making letters which cannot be ex-
cellcd at this day; he doubtless under
stood the geography of the country from
Canada to New York city, rs we'll rs

in those times.

longest, and is in it's nature mild; hence
cold light (wheaten) bread, soaked in
sweet milk, is one of the very best
known. There is NJ specific virtue in
the repulsive remedy of the "entrails of
a live chicken" of scraped potatoes,
turnips, beets, carrots, or any other
scrapings; the virtue consists in the
mild moisture of the application. Hence
the memory need not be burdened with
the recollection of particular kinds of
poultices, but only With the principle
that the poultice is best which keeps
moist longest without disturbance.
