LADDoN1A, No., April l1.-Those who
have taken down their stoves, have to re-
sort to the kitchen fire this morning, and
shawls and overcoats that had been folded
away are brought out for spring wear.
Cassimeres are thought to be too "ethe-
rial'' for the cold north wind blowing
to-day.
Laddonia is a live town, noted for the
best shops, stores, &C., on the road, ana
, now, for the first time, it has a tirst-class
"sensation'' story. We shall not particu-
larize in giving the story, but, as it is
much talked of, and known to all ac-
quainted with the parties, we give you a
short account of it.: Thomas Resnley, a
: druggist in town, has been fr several
-I1nr9nts pay1fg- as.skeu attention to a
Young lady, a Miss Ollie Elmore, and, it
was generally supposed, by those init
mate with both parties, that an engage
ment of marriage existed betWeen them.
Last Friday, Miss Gilmore appeared to be
in much trouble, and when questioned as
to the cause of it, she refused to tell. On
Friday evening late, her step-father, Mr..
Grim, went before Squire Gilliland and
had papers issued for the arrest of Reign
lev for "breach of PROMISE" in regard to
l marrying Miss Elmore. c. A. Smith, act
G ing constable, arrested Reighley Friday
o night, and the prisoner asking the privi-
lege to 90 into the drug store to talk with
his brother, it was granted him. MIR.
Smith waited a short time fol- himt TO come
Is back, but as he did not Smith went in to
Is see him but could find him nowhere
Is Search was made at his boarding house
and trains were watched, thinking he
~ might try to escape by leaving in that
- manner, but Mr.. Reighley has not beer
l. seen since. The day before the arrest
" Reighley sold his drug store to Messrs
as Logan & Powell, and it was reported tina
o. he was gong away; this rumor reaching
,o Miss Elmre, she had him arrested. The
Young m;n, after the arrest, swore h
I" yyould not marry her. Miss Elmore is
III poor girl, Of a very delicate constitution
in and made her living by working for
tn small sum by the week.

, Hill played Ten Nights in a Bar Room,
at the hall. "Joe Morgan" his wife an
~ daughter performed their parts we'll
s.Sample SWi.chell' acted well, but he di
is not %enunciate plainly, and that was on
nd fault with most of the players. HAD the

play, they could have acted with NOR
ease and les embarrassment. We mus
nat say the "Gnrdian Angelo was very goot
The stage WIS not the best in the wOrlC
and some # the audience did not kee
good order. Taking it all together it di
very well.
Wasn't there a band from Mexico dow
asst there? How was it-didn't it attract an
lin attention? We just ask for information
