4 Wagon Load of EIopIng Families
From the St. Louis t-Dispatchl.

 The old-fashioned prairie schooner with it's broad stretch of tarpaulin and with its band of tire is no longer familiar sight up- on the streets This morning, however. one of these arks rolled heavily over the bridge drawn by two tired-looking mules, and dec orated with all manner of household nova bles. And as it drew up on Washington ave- nue just west of Sixth street, the reporter tackled the long, sallow, emaciated- looking man who uncoiled himself from about the front seat and demanded of him what cheer. ''Umph ?'' said he interrogatively, while a wonan's head decorated with red bandanna protruded past the flap of the canvas and eyed the scribe suspiciously
 Bound for Kansas 2"
 No, sir; Arkinsaw. We're all the way from Kane county, H., and we're headin' fir the Red River kentry.''
 "You seem to have good deal of fami- ly," continued the wandering Peri, referring to the menagerie- like sounds issuing from beneath the tarpaulin, which indicat ed a di- versity of opinion between several warlike children. The woman's head went back be- meath the cover, something like the terrapin's 8 when his attention is attracted to his tail Resonant applications of female palm to exposed human cuticle followed, and sobbing and grief took the place of war.
 ''Yaas, fact is I've got two families"
 ''Um- -hum," 1.-two families ?'' he grunt-
  thy there's got five young ones and I've got three, and they ain't quite shook to- gither yet. Way back in Kane county we'd known each other for some time. Samanthy there, her husband wa'n't no count he got to hog stealth, and then he got into the pen at Joliet. and my wife war poor and sickly, and shipped her on to the folks in Indiana, and Samanthy and started for Arkinsaw. AS we kem by Joliet she went and saw her old man, Hez Ward, an he gev his consent. 7" ''So you're eloping?''
 Well, we're sorter slopin'.''
 ''What is you name?'

 Hopewell is man of fully 50, and Mrs. Ward is past 4O Neither of them would be called handsome by the fastidious, and this lover-like escapade of theirs is 8 singular freak, which is almost without parallel. It is seldom that man loves 8 woman to that extent that he will consent to run off with her five children in addition to the fair one.

William J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, says: In the fall of 1876 was taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed by severe cough. lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lung as big as half dollar. At one time report went around that I was dead. gave up hope, but friend told me of Dr. William Halls balsam for the lungs got bottle, when to my surprise com menced to feel better, and to-day I feel bet ter than for three years past.
 I write this hoping that every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take Dr. William Halls balsam and be convinced that con- sumption can be cured. can positively say it has done more good than all the medicines I have taken since my sickness. je27 mtf 6 I.isI,is.

The court read many opinions in cases
heard at Philadelphia at the late sitting
there. Among them the reversal of Judge
Futhey of West Chester in the case of
Chester county against the Coatesville gas
company has local importance, as the
decision by the supreme court rules
point in controversy between the new gas

The higher court decides that the real es
tate of gas companies used by them for
the manufacture is not subject to local
taxation, the companies being subject to

different fire companies for tho purpose of
making their annual inspection. They
made an examination of the houses, en-

condition. The Sun has recently had
its hose repaired and it is much better

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FALSE FLAX.

Tho Effects OF tho water Upon "eeds ana
Insects.
An attache of the INTELLIeENcEH sent
to DR.. S. s. Rathvon plant plucked from
his premises, and the doctor returns the
following description and explanation OF
it, together with some other facts and
hints that will DO of use to the general
reader:
Mr.. VIM. A. NJ: The plant which you
find 80 abundant in your tobacco field of
last year, is the noxious weed, known as
"False Flax, and belongs to the cRucI-
FERAE, or Mustard family. 1t is generally
known as noxious weed, and abounds in
fields-especia)ly fax-delds-and OH
road sides, and seems to have
been introduced into this country from
Europe. 1t is said to have been formerly
cultivated in Germany for the sake of an
oil which was expressed from the seeds ;
from which you will observe that, noxious
and useless as it may seem, it is still Of
some use and although it may never pay
in this country to develop that use, yet it
may be intrinsically of more value than
tobacco. Its abundance on your premises
has no special significance other than that
it has found the soil unOccupied and con-
genial, the seeds having been scattered
from contiguous properties last season ,
and were germinated and protected by the
snowy mantle of winter.
1t has been observed this spring that
from the same cause many plants have
survived the past winter unscathed, which
in milder and more open winters have been
entirely out-frozen. 1t was also observed
that as soon as the snow had disappeared,
the ground, so far as concerned the frost,
was in a condition to be spadsd or plowed.
The past long and intensely cold winter
will therefore afford no immunity from
noxious weeds and insects during the
coming season. Their embryOs nestled
too cOzily in their "little beds,' covered
with "tick" of feathered snow. until
the vernal suns bid them rise. From a
paper read before the Linp:ean society by
Mrs. G. on Saturday, the 30th ult., quote
the following:
"Our late very severe winter has not
affected plants very much that were close
to the ground owing doubtless to
the early and long continued snow.
Thus I have found this spring calliopsis
and pansies that have survived the winter
out of DOORS" The plant under review
seems to be unique, both in genus and in
species, and our young botanist, MIR. L. B.
or North Queen street, identified it as
Camelina Satioa. 1t grows from six inches
to two feet according to the strength
of tho soil-and bears small yellowish
flower. Its cogeners are the mustards,
the pepper grasses, the turnips, radishes,
cabbages, &C., &c. Indeed, its crucifer-
ian character is apparent from its odor
when bruised, being akin to that of de-
caying cabbages. Perhaps it might be
utilized as green's" especially when
other sauce is scarce" If you do not
care about going into green grocerage"
the best thing you can do is to "root it
out" of your premises before it natures its
seed. After your tobacco is once fairly
started, there will be little danger to be
apprehended from the false fax," for
tobacco will not allow much else to -four
ish when it becomes domicilated. r.

are for Shiffer, and the Examiner crowd
unsettled between Shubert and Gallagher.
The Examiner has created little diversion
by beginning series of 20 in Corner
articles, the author. of which has borrowed
the nom de plume but none of the wit of

parents, though we'll advanced in life, are
both in excellent health, and the high
esteem in which their worthy family is
held by every community of which its
members are u part, is a crown of glory to
them in their old age. The entire occa-

an exceptionally joyous one.
