The Journal says: Auburn had a sensa-
ton Saturday. 1t was a month ago when
the school-boy and schoolgirl acquaintance
between two of Auburn's children, ripened
into such q degree of affection that an elope-
ment vas planned with a marriage in pros
pect. The boy is l6 years of age and the
girl but Is. They left home in secret,
arrived at the station, unknown to their
friends, and were stopped from completing
their plans for departure only by the same
old reason that stops so many from long
journeys-lack of sufficient funds for the
trip. Tie couple were overtaken at the sta
ton, and brought back to their respective
homes. The young lady was sent from Au-
burn to the care of friends in Massachusetts,
and the entire affair was supposed to have
been at an end. 1t was somewhat of shock
to the parents of the boy, Saturday, to fad
him gone. He had taken bis money and
some that in the house, beside, and had
started long before daybreak to walk to a
station. His parents discovered his absence
at O'Clock. Pursuit was made, and the boy
was discovered at Danville Junction, wait
ing for the train that should take him away
He acknowledged his intention of finding the
girl, and going where there was posi-
blity of their marriage.
