Board of Trade.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 16.
The markets on the board yesterday
were rather frmer in tone, owing partly to
the cooler weather, the increased demand
for wheat, and to the fact that the lake
markets are a little stronger. Wheat was
without change. Corn, however, dropped
a little. Oats were the same, while barley
was a shade lower. The following are the

Charles Vogel, a young Gelpan lad OF
thirteen years, refused to be sworn IL a
Baltimore court when put on the stand to
testify a few days since. His reason for
the refusal was due to the fact that he
claimed that under court practices in Ger
many-his native country-no person is
allowed to testify under oath or by affirm
alton under sixteen years. No persuasion
could change the lads decision. and Judge
Pinkney said while the court could compel
Vogel to testify, it could not compel him
to be sworn.

furious C0Mrtship IN Pennsylvania Z
Hundred Years Ago.
Commercial Advertiser. I


One of the most curious csurtships re-
corded happened about the close
Of the seventeenth century. The
daughter of a Berkshire baronet, who dis
dained the numerous lovers who attempted
to win her affections, finally fell in love
with a poor attorney. whom she met for
the first time at a wedding in Reading. She
sent him q challenge alleging that he must
give satisfaction for injuries received at
his hands. She appeared masked and gave
him choice of either fighting or marrying
her. His second, who was also unaware of
the woman's identity or the cause of her
strange conduct, advised his principal to
marry her. After the ceremony. during
which she still wore the mask, they
drove to her rich home, and after with
drawing a few moments she returned, and
at once captivated her husband by her
beauty and tasteful dress. This man. Ben
iamin Child, was afterward made high
sheriff of the town

"When two Pennsylvania lovers meet with
any remarkable opposition from their
friends they go Of together on horseback.
the lady riding before and the gentleman
behind her. In this situation they present
themselves before a magistrate, to whom
she declares she has run AVA with he,
lover, and has brought him there to be
married. So solemn an avowal the mag.
istrate is not at liberty to reject, and they
are married accordingly.

The Boundary Question.

The questson Of a boundary be-
tween Maryland and West Virginia
is to have some consideration and
the Baltimore Gazette says presents
some nice points Maryland is
about to set up claim for portion
of Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan
countiesl We don't want to ap-
pear rash, but we promise to bring
our carbine to the front in defense
of "Jeferson's rock" &C., if plead
ing the statute of limitation against
the "Cresap survey" doesn't answer
the purpose.-Ffee Press.
When the case comes up you may
call on us as a witness on the limi-
tation plea. We are ready to make
affidavit that that rock was there
in 1862. We defended that same
Jefferson's Rock against Jefferson
Davis, and sat on it to absorb Jeffer-
sonian Democracy and absorbed a
cold instead that lasted US through
the campaign.

The University.

The Neao Dominion comes out
manfully and vigorously in defense
of the University and against the
proposed changes.
Itsays:
We learn from the proceedings of
the Legislature that the bill recently
introduced into the House providing
for the abolition of the Presidency
of the University, has been tabled.
We respectfully suggest that it
should remain on the table perma-
nently. The office of President
seems to be necessity to all Amer
lean Colleges and Universities. An
examination of the matter will
show that about 95 per cent of all
such schools in the United States
have Presidents.
Again, further on:
Some six or eight years ago the
executive work was neglected for a
time and the University ran down
to a low ebb. Now we have reason
to believe the work is being faith
fully done and the University is
more prosperous than ever before.
Everything is running smoothly
and for the good of the institution.
We hope no radical changes will be
made in the law regarding the
methods Of management. Let well
enough alone.

time The writer has knowledge
of one case where a man had for his
three wives, mother, daughter and
granddaughter. The whole ten
dency of polygamy is to brutalize
all who have anything to do with it.
One of the saddest, but one of the
most frequent results, is the push
ing aside into cold neglect of legal
wives, who have grown old and
gray, to make room for those that
are younger. No pen can describe
the demoralizing effect of polygamv
upon the young, nor adequately set
forth the lack of morality on the
part of the vast majority of young
men and women who are brought
up in connection with it.
"How long will it take the pa
tient, forbearing, but selfabsorbed
people of America to rouse to real
ization of this great system of in
EQUITY and oppression, and to rise
and demand from our legislators
some measures for its suppression ?"
