A Mock Marriage In Illinois.

One John Lagrange was arrested in
Aurora ILL.,, on the 18th, for conspiring to in
jure the person and reputation of Miss
Francis Place. A young Ingham was also
wanted, but had made good his escape. The
facts as near as your correspondent can learn
them from personal investigation are these:
Young Lagrange and the young lady, who is
the daughter of Esquire Place, had been keep
ing company, and were to be married. but the
father of the young lady was very much op-
posed to the match, and on Jan. 9TH they re-
paired to the house of one Smith, produced
paper which is claimed to be a forged
license, and were united, young Ingham act
ing az justice, when in fact he was not nor
never had been. Smith was called as wit
ness. The young woman supposed the pa
pers to be genuine. Lagrange and his bride
went over to Shabbona to spend the honey
moon, but yesterday concluded to go down to
Aurora. Mr.. Place found out about the mar
rage and that the papers were forged, and
put matters on foot to have them all arrested,
but Ingham had left. Lagrange and Smith
are both lodged in the calaboose. The young
woman finding how she had been deceived
will expose all she knows of the plot.

fishing and hunting lie has a son
who is chip of the old block in that as
we'll as in other respects.
One day last summer the old gentleman
left home, but before going set his boy at
a job he was anxions to have done. Re-
turning sooner than he was expected, he
found that the boy was missing.
where's Tom?" he growled, as he en-
tered the kitchen.
"Gone fshing," said the girl.
"Fishing the rascal; I'll fish him when
I catch him."
And away the angry fellow went for the
brook. Coming within Mailing distance
of his hopeful son, who was bending Gag
erly over the stream, the father yelled
''Tom! you scoundrel, Tom y
There was deprecating movement Of
one hand on the part of the boy, who did

On or about January 1, an ADVERTISE
ment appeared in the New York Herald in
curing for the address Of "the daughter of
the late Horace Meech," to whom, it stated,
the late William G. Glynn of this city had, by
will, left fortune $4,000, application to be
made to Mr.. Choate, fremont street, Boston.
Mr.. Horace Mech was many years ago a
well known resident of Albany. William G.
Glynn was at the same time-perhaps quart
er Of century ago-a teacher ofmusic in that
city. Among his pupils was Miss Mech
daughter Of the aforesaid: Glynn fell in love
with the young lady, and she, presumably,
with him, and they were married Miss
Meech's parents persuaded their, daughter to
obtain a divorce, which was done, Glynn re-
moving to this city. His divorced wife soon
married q young gentleman in Rochester, who
died not long afterward in the South. The
widow married, for the third time, gentle
man in Buffalo. He also died leaving the
widow with one daughter, now grown up
married, and herself mother. The widow.
in reduced circumstances, was living with a
sister on Staten Island, when some Albany
friends, seeing by chance the advertisement,
acquainted her with its contents. She at sonce
took measures to secure the bonanza left her
by her first love- It seems that. Glynn, after re-
moving to Boston made a fortune in the music
business. Time, however, nor circumstances,
didn't make him forget the girl he left be-
hind him. although she had thrice married
and had become grandmother since his eyes
had beheld her. ! '.-l ill.,.

A Tale OF the Sea.

The schooner Speedwell from Cadis
arrived at New York on the 18th inst, with
the captain and crew of the schooner Sallie
NJ. Steelman, from Charleston for Baltimore,
which was abandoned at sea. The captain of
the Steelman makes the following statement
January Goth, twenty miles southeast from
Hatteras encountered a terrific gale lasting
70 hours, which washed everything movable
from the decks. Used our last provisions the
morning of January I'D. On the night of the
Oath, during heavy gale, sprung leak. On
the 9th, three of the crew gave out, leaving
only four to manage the vessel and pumps,
and We fast becoming exhausted. On the
3Oth, Geo. Seaman, colored, who had become
crazy, attempted to take the life of Walter
Simpson, but was instantly killed by the lat
ter who, during the afternoon, ate portion
OF his dead body. On the Sd we were rescued.
Before leaving the schooner the crew became
50 crazed with hunger that it was suggested
they would be obliged to cast lots for one of
the number to furnish food to keep the 9TH
ers alive. For eight days nothing passed
their lips except fresh water and tobacco,
which appeased their hunger only slightly;
finally one of the sailors was killed in quar-
rel, when his body was cut up. The upper
part was thrown overheard and the limbs were
sailed down for food. From the thigh steaks
were cut almost before the flesh was cold and
broiled. These were eaten with relish by
the starving men. The crew consisted of the
captain, mate, cook and four seamen, three of
the latter colored.

Worth on Dressing.

Worth is a tallish man, with big clev-
er head and very prominent forehead.
His brown eyes are singularly shrewd
in expression, and their seizure of detail
is surprising-that is, for man. AS a
rule men have no more eye for detail
than owls have for the sun. Worth takes
you in at glance, and knows what your
style ought to be, which IS such a comfort.
When l go to adress-maker l don t care
to "work my passage" as Bob would say.
l want to order a harmony in one or
two colora, and to encounter brains equal
to the occasion. Worth's taste, when al
lowed full play, is irreproachablc. II

"but there are women who don't believe
in the value of a dress unless it is loaded

the best out of the subject given me, as
unfortunately, we can't have people made

me. But bark once more, and again and
again the piteous cries. Hastily dis
mounting, threw the bride over nv

from behind which the sound proceeded.
and there, In small pool of clotted blood,
lay that which at first failed to recog-

certainly was in its piteous cries. and the

their being gloved. This CHASTITY object

An Exciting Scene at Murphy Meet
ing

AT enc of Mr.. Murphys meeting at
Troy, N. Y, after the Il: ual introduction
exercise he brought before the audiencea
man we'll known to the people of Troy.
and who had run through good prop
erty and fair reputation by intemper.
ance, but had now resolved he would en-
deavor to retrieve his character. He ad-
dressed the people in avery touching
manner, and to illustrate sentiment in
his brief discourse, he passed to the rear
OF the platform and brought forward
wretched, ragged, trembling victim, the
very embodiment of runs ruin. This
wreck OF man, after moment of silence
was recognized by many of the audience,
and the simple recognition brought tears
to the eyes of hundreds. Presently he
endeavored to relate : his history;
his trembling limbs almost refused to
support his body, and his words, feeble
and broken, were indistinct and incoher-
ent.
But gathering himself by strong
effort he gave a narrative of himself
from his boyhood in that city, his
refined and loving home his college life /;
his marriage; his gradual decline; his
dlshonored parents; his dead wife; his
dlsgraced children; his. own utter degra-
datlon to gutter drunkard and there he
stood, having been brought from the Jail
to tell his story, and then return to COM
plete his last term as a common drunk
ard, Mr.. Murphy sprang to his feet as
the poor fellow said this and exclaimed:
HE shall not go back" and the audi
ence instantly responded,ssS"ae shall not
go back" and in minute the necessary
sum for his release by the payment of
the tine was raised, and the officer who
had him in charge left him in the care of
MIR. Murphy and those who were with
him. The man belonged to one of the
most respected families in that city; was
highly gifted, and one ofthe most promi-
nent young men of his day. The scene
was the more affecting, as hundreds
knew the truth of his history
A shrewd, keen-eyed. Scotchman is en-
ployed to do nothing else than board, out
side the New York Central Depot, in New
York, all incoming passenger trains, and
go through the passenger cars, Immediate
ly after the passengers have left them,
looking after lost articles. No trainmen
or other employees are allowed to precede
him, and if one may judge from his find
lngs bis search must be very thorough
Scarcely a train comes in from which he
does not gather up something. Over
ceats, shawls, rubber shoes, sachels, UNI
brellas, canes, packages, silk hats, pocket
books and jewelry are turned in by HIM
in steady stream, that has, notwithstand-
ing the outgo to claimants, made up an
accumulation that fills huge close,
and the greater part of store-room be-

for five years.
