SCHOOLS IN DEERING.-The crowded condi-

with the intermediate ones. The High School
building will be finished about the first CT jan
uary, but as the school will be too large for one
teacher, and there is not sufficient school mon

present arrangement will be continued until

The attorney promised compliance;
and tie lady in accordance with Lees
wishes, took her seat in q conspicuous
place. Lee, in addressing the jury. did
not fail to insist with great warmth on
the "sbominable cruelty which bad
been exercised toward the lovely and
confiding female before them" and did
not sit down until he had succeeded in
working up their feelings to the de-
sired point. The counsel on the other
side, however, speedily broke the spell
with which Lee had enchanted the jury.
by saying that his learned friend in de-
scribing the graces and beauty of the
plaintiff had not mentioned one fact,
namely, that the lady had noodsn leg'

Loves Young Dream.

The city of Carthage. Mo-. has been
clopement Of two young lads and lasses,
whose ages range from thirteen to fif-
teen years. One of the boys is the son
of the cashier Of the First National
Bank. and the other the soA of prom
inent lawyer. The girls are both daugh-
tsrs Of very respectable families, and
their cscapsde is perhaps without o
parallel. The runaway was made on
Monday evening. and although the
children were missed, it was not until
Tuesday that it was ascertained that
they had fled together. Officers were
put on their trail. but only succeeded
in finding their camping place on Mon
day night, about four miles east of the
town. in the woods along Spring river.
Nothing further could be learned of
the fugitives until Thursday about day.
light. when one Of the boys came into
town for SOME provisions, and told a
chum Of their whereabouts.
This chum gave them away to the
officers. who soon found them secreted
in very comfortable quarters in large
hsystack, about mile outside the city
limits. where the cold rain drove them.
On seeing the officers approaching. the
four fled for the woods. but the officers
pressed them 30 closely that the young
Don Juans forsook their maidens and
reached the woods in safety. The girls
were brought to town and returned to
their families. The boys were pursued
until nearly neon. but outwitted the Of
ficers and are still at large. The girls
will not converse nor give any explans-
tion Of their rash and dangerous set.
The four have been infatuated with
each others charms for some time, and
it is probable they thus thought to
reach some point where they could live
by themselves. unknown to the world.
They are well educated and smart for
their age. and the girls are very pretty
and vivscious. They started on foot,
withous food or extra clothing. and the
sudden change Of the weather doubtless
frustrated their plans.

A SURVIVOR OF THE GREAT EAST
INDIAN MAssACRE.-A Scottish .trav.
eler. who stopped for few hours in a
city in the interior of India, caught .
glimpse of q white woman in u native
dress. She was in palki, borne on the
shoulders of slaves, which indicated
that her rank was high. On the fol-
lowing asy she sent Q message to him
that he was the first European she had
seen since her childhood; that she re-
lnembered being dragged away from
her family. while their house was burn
ing. when she was five years old; that
her name was Lucy; that she had grown
up among the natives, had forgotten
the English language, and was the wife
of an Indian prince. and that she de-
sired to inquire of the traveller about
her parentage. The messenger i'm
plored him to see the woman, who was
weeping at home; but before he could
do so, she was removed from the neigh
borhood, presumably rs q consequence
of her communication with the stranger.
The inference is that Lucy is survivor
of the mutiny massacres of 1857.

A CURIOUS will has just been settled

man died. when to general surprise it
was found he left thirty -four thousand
marks. The thirty thousand ia pack
age. signed and sealed. was to be given

sand each to three brothers. aud one
thousand to friend with whcm he had
qaarrelied. 1t was stipulated that none
of the four should follow the body to
the grave, which suggestion the three
brothers gladly accepted. but the quar-
Keller walked alone and forfeited bis
thousand marks. for the sake of paying
last mitigating honor. When the
package was opened for the town. il
disclosed another will. giving the thirty
thousand to any of the tour who should
disregaid the stipulation.

and troops who were waiting to cross
The leading boat contained Major Gen.
Yelchine. Turkish rifiemen were in
position about fifty yards from shore.
He landed his handful OF men and
babe them lie down in the mud.
He then opened n brisk skirmishing
fire to cover the landing of the boats

Among them were Gen. Skabalef and
his son. Gen. Yelchine babe his men

officers. There was a rush and a cheer.
The Turks fired an effective yoliey, but
did not wait. Gen. Yelchine's skir-
mish force followed them some distance
up the slope, but for a time could not
press on far from their base. Mean
while the Russian guns from ACROSS the
river and the Turkish artillery were
firing briskly. The Turkish shells
kept falling in the water, whistling
through the willows and bursting
among the columns on the fiat. One
shell from a mountain gun fell into 3

was swamped, the gunners, command
er of the battery boat and all on board
persisted. This was the only serious
casualty in crossing, but many Russian
soldiers were falling on both sides Of
the river.
