ELoPEMENT FROM RoCHEsTER.-There has been
considerable excitement in Rochester during the
past week over the elopement last Thursday of
Kate, daughter of Charles Marsh, with muatto
named John Edwards The accounts OF the af-
fair which have found their way into the news
papers are In some respects erroneous We have
procured from citizen OF that town the par
ticulars, which we believe to be correct. John
Edwards has lived in the neghborhood for some
years and during portion OF the time with Mr.
Marsh. While there he formed the acquaintance
OF Katie, who Is now thirteen years OF age, just
the age, as her father says, when girls don't
know nothin'," and Katie became strangely in
fatuated with him. Several letters had passed
between them, which had come to the knowledge
OF her parents, and, at their request, the teacher
of the school which Katie attended had forbidden
her writing letters 10 him during school hours.
So It Is certain that Katie was a willing victim
She went to school in the morning and at noon
walked about mile TO Johns mothers house,
where he lived, put on his mothers wraps over
her school clothes, and started with John in a
double team owned by Crosby Martin, the horses
having been used by John In threshng grain and
saving wood. In less than two hours Mr.. Marsh
discovered what had happened and started with
several others, toward Middlebury, In which di-
rection the couple had gone. They were traced
to East MiddlebuTy where the trail was lost, but
they were afterwards heard from at Vergennes
Although every means has been taken TO get in
formation, they have not since been heard from,
John Edwards has had a hard name. few years
ago he broke into store and stole some money
and was sent to Waterbury reform school for a
time. A few years after he forged note and by
II bought a threshjng machine at Middletown,
from that town to take John, and Crosby Martin
helped him settle 1t up and has helped him to q
team and In many other ways 10 give him a
chance.

Obituary..

Wednesday at 9 o'clock p. NJ, Mr.. John
DuLon, a most estimable citizen, after pro-
longed and painful illness, breathed his last,
being ~ years of age. Mr.. DuLon was born
in Whitefield, Me-, and was for many years
engaged in the lumber business in the
vicinity of Bangor, Coming to Augusta
about 30 years ago he entered into the grocery
business at the store now occupied by Mr..
Benz. Gardiner on the east side. There he
continued in trade until some six years since
V hen he sold out. -Four years ago he be-
came coal dealer, continuing as such until
incapaciated by sickness. His Office was
located opposite Granite Block. Two years
ago last January the deceased met with the
first attack of that sickness which finally
caused his death. The 18th OF last November
he went home from his place of business on
the west side never to return, being confined
to his couch much of the time since. As a
man, no citizen of Augusta bore a higher
character. Modest and unassuming Mr..
DuLon was noted for his integrity and his
honesty was everywhere recognized. The
death of such citizen can but be keenly
felt by all. The funeral occurs on Saturday
at . o'clock z. NJ.

John c. Horn, of Oakland, the well-known
horse buyer has been doing a rushing busi-
ness in horses during the past few years. In
1882 Mr.. Horn bought and shipped from his
town l63 horses for which he paid the farmers
and stock raisers of Kennebec, Somerset and
Franklin counties the sum of s48,9OO. One
hundred and sixty of these horses found a
market in New York and three in Boston.
Since January this year he has bought and
sent to New York thirty-six. The prices paid
range from $3.50 to $1,000. An average price
would be about $500. Horses that weigh 1000
pounds and stand from 15 to l6 hands high.
beinejgood gated roadster., find ready mar
ket at good dprice. Mr.. Horn has also recent
ly bought few light weight buggy horses,
ranging from $50 to $50 pounds. These sell
well in New York as ponies for ladies and boys
to drive. Probably no man in this State has
made the horse business more Of success
than has this gentleman. Keen in a trade,
yet, honest, he is trusted by employers and
has thus been the means Of distributing thou
sand Of dollars within our State.

SALMON In THE pENoBsCor.
The First Flaw in Maine's Recently
Adopted Fish Law.

Salmon are running quite freely in the Pc
nobscot river, according to information BY
private sources, and they have been offered in
the Bangor market at 75c. per pound. 1t ap-
pears that. IN the new fish Law in this State.
protecting trout and landlocked salmon, the
little salmon proper were overlooked.
landlocked salmon under nine inches in
length cannot be legally taken in this State,
but sea salmon of any size may be taken
and sold. The commissioners and wardens
find that the little salmon on their way to the
sea, in the PenobscOt, are taking the bait
freely and being caught, but the new statute,
which reads ''landlocked salmon under nine
inches in length" cannot protect them. II
is curious fact that the Penobscot is
the only river of the United States Atlantic
coast where the salmon ascend and descend
TO the sea. Formerly nearly all the New
England rivers were stocked with those val
liable food fishes. This river is the only one
left where the true sea salmon eggs can be
procured for propagation. Every state in
the Union must come to the Penobscot for
salmon spawn for restocking rivers that
have been unwisely depleted. Prof. Atkins,
in the government Matching grounds at Or
land, has had wonderful success in propaga-
ting salmon. The fecundated eggs have been
sent to nearly all parts of the world, and sue
cessfully hatched. Even the rivers of Aus
tralia boast of Penobscot salmon. the eggs
having been shipped thence.

given in this city. The vocal music in the

excellent. The chorus was well balanced
ana well trained, and the orchestral accom-
panlments were superior The humorous
songs we're also sprightly, and sufficiently de-
'old OF sense to capture the risibilities of the

we're good and original. and no antique jokes

pected that NJ. B. Leavitt had Organized such
