Love Among ,he ora Folks.

New York World. Apropos of tho
Lord.Hicks marriage, II may be said
that, although the last New York state
census records no instance In which a
man OF Mr.. Lords exact age--eighty-
two years--took wife TO himfelf dur.
Ing the year ending June |, 1875, yet
five marriages are spoken Of In which
the bridegroom was Of still more ma
ture years. One centenariau welded

five; another "gay Lotharoo of eighty.
five entered upon the primrose path Of
dallianGe with beauty over whose
fair head but seventy.five summers
had flown; u lady of sixty seven years
pillowed her throbbing brow upon the
bosom of man of eighty-four, and at
eiVhty-three gentleman selected AS
the partner of his joys and sorrows
lady of fifty-six. There was an an
cent dame OF eighty.siX who took u
husband of sixty-two, aud at the other
end OF the line boy of fourteen mar
ried girl Of seventeen and man Of
twenty six welded maiden of twelve.
The marriage of Mr.. Lord to Mrs.
Hicks is not, then, of so unique ma,
ture as to necessitate the hypothesis Of
unsoundness of mind to explain 1t.
The Gentleman's Magazine tells of
a boy of Is, living In Bedford, Eug-
land, who Tilted his sweetheart and
married her mother, aged 81. A ply
stefan in Worcester, 50 years old, mar
ried woman of rs, and still continued
to drug and drench the sick people of
the town. A blacksmith, 80 years old,

girl of eighteen, and escaped the mad
house. 1t is related of man in Berk>
shire that he married when at the age
of rs girl whom his third wife had
brought up. Another case ia that Of n
soldier who had served in the wars,
and at the age OF 95 still carried bull
let in his nose, taking as his wife a

the happy day. At another almost
equally remarkable wedding in Berk-
shire, the groom was So, the bride 90,
and each of the bridesmaids were more
than 40. Six granddaughter of the
groom strewed flowers In the patti of
the bridal party, instead of suspectiDg
him of insanity.

FROM STONY RIDGE.

Ed. JOURNAL :--The Republican meeting al
the Ridge, on the evening OF the 25d inst, was
n decided success. The audience was gopd
and paid marked attention to the speaker, Hon
J. NJ. Brown, who for more than hour dealt
out facts and figures on the issues Of the day'
The points made were, { y that the Republican
party were not responsible, as charged, Tor the
panic: az that all civilized countries were
suffering similar or even worse state Of
things; t5) that the primary cause might be
traced to the cost and waste of war ~ that
the Democratic party brought m tn war: (5)
that the remedy proposed by the Greenback
party was a cheat, founded on false premises
and figures, and engineered by men who have
failed to get Office in any nf the old parties aud
had started thus scheme with the hope Of be ing
more successful. These points were sustsined
by such an array OF facts, figures and argu.
menis as we have seldom heard, and made a
good impression. 3,

ARDS and his little family from our midst,
will be deeply regretted by all who had the
pleasure Of their acquaintance. His loca-
ton here for three years, as long as the
rules Of the Conference would allow, is one
token Of the friendly relations existing be-
tween the pastor and his congregation, yet
IL all we're privileged to speak just now
il would be found that very many outside
Of the church would bear testimony of
their regrets at the parting. Mrs. BETH
ARDS was quite III for a few days last week,
but on her recovery started for visit with
her parents at Marion, Ohio. Mr. BErH-

Three Prisoners Escape from JAIL

Three Prisoners Escape from JAIL
About seven o'clock on Friday night last
three prisoners, TIMOTHY MATTIMoRE and
/ s. IL. SwrTzER, awaiting trial on a charge
OF burglary and larceny. and WESLEY SIM
MONS, under ten DAYS sentence for petit lar
ceny, made their escnpe from the Wood
county Jail, and have not vet been recap
turcd. 1t is reported that SIMMONS has
been seen at his home in Portage since his
escape.
| The particulars are about as follows
! Under nn order from the grand jury Mt the
/ May term of Court the County Commits
sioners were constructing n vault in one OF
the cells Of the Jail which would lie condu-
Give to the health Of the prisoners and the
! cleanliness nf the Jail. The wurkmen enl
ployed had dug trench on the outside
leading to vault and also cut n hole
| through the wall beneath the stone floor
sufficiently large to admit of large sewer
pipe heing passed through. This COM
pleted hole seven or eight inches in di.
ameter had been drilled through the heavy
stone floor of the cell to ndmit pipe ia
connect with the sewer pipe. The prison.
ers were kept from this cell by heavy
iroa door which the Sheriff had kept locked
with one Of his best plug locks. While
the Sheriff was attending TO his duties in
the Court room the prisoners picked this
lock, then removed the heavy door from it:
hinges aud used it as \ battering ram to
crush the hole through the floor Of suffi
cient size To admi; of their crawling
through il. This was the means by which
they made their escape. GRosE, who Wa'
incarcerated with them, was importuned tC
accompany them hut refused to 60, ant
was severely threatened If he should at
tempt TO give the alarm. lie gave thu
alarm, however, in few moments afte
their escape, but the night belng very darl
their escape was comparatively easy afte
; once out.
None feel worse over the escape OF thes
|, prisoners than Sheriff HENRY, and espec
tally over the loss of MATTIMoRE, who is
desperate character and this being his sec
ond escape from the same Jail.
The Petit Jury, composed of all politics
parties, examined the premises in bod
} on Monday, and after careful examina
: ton fully exhonOrate Sheriff lIENRY fror
, all blame in the escape OF the prisoners.
l We would advise that new set of lock
be put in use at once at the Jail.
