ANOTHER ELoPEMENr.

In the days of elopements. divorces and
marital infelicity the breaking up OF a
household causes but little comment and rs
little censure. Unless accompanied BY some
unusual circumstance they pass the notice
OF almost the nearest neighbors with bnt
little attention. The courts appear full of
divorce cases and the community is partly
made up of unmatched and uncompleted of
colored men and women, who have split the
blanket and cast asunder the sacred bonds
of matrimony. The reporter is called TO
these reflections by an elopement that oc-
CURED yesterday and the racket kicked up
in consequence. The hero in this affair is
an old gentlemen passing three score who is
dubbed Uncle John" and the woman is the
wife of mechanic, Frank Wilson. The
woman who fills the place as lead
ing character in this affair is about
thirty-one years of age and not pretty BY any
means, but makes up in form what she lacks
in feature. The couple took breakfast TO-
getier at hotel in this city yesterday
morning, and soon after left together for the
residence of the woman's husband, in the
old gen;leman's wagon. When At the house
they alighted, and the woman proceeded to
procure her clothes, trunks, etc. When the
husband came BY he locked them out Of the
house. and general quarrel ensued. The
old gent advanced on the husband with his
whip, and put up a bluff on him to such an
extent as TO make him retreat into the house.
Then the woman proceeded to use piece Of
her mind. She said she would knock the
door into kindling wood and make thingr
too hot TO be matched this side Of sheol I'M
less her things were put out of that house.
After q little parleying. heard and
witnessed by large concourse OF
people the wagon was loaded and the elop-
ers started on their way rejoicing. january
and May departed like two turtle doves in
the farm wagon, ready to take in the far
west and grow up with the country. There
are those who might see some romance IN
the affair, elopements are want TO be hedged
with story and romance, sturdy youth and
beauty entering on life's journey together.
But this affair is ref Of ell its essentials and
passes to the fragrant violation Of nature,
honor. and decency.

IN MEaostAM.

Died, in this city, yesterday, at the resi-
dence of Capt Geo. E. Harris, Ns. Bertbs
Lee. in her eightieth year. ArA Lee VA
born in Kent, England, and was the nothel
of Mrs. Geo. E. Harris and Mrs- w. Scot!
Corbett. She will be buried from the Pres
byterian church this afternoon at o'clock.
Something like year and . half ago the
deceased fell and SO crippled herself that she
never was able to leave her room Afterwards
She has been patient and weary sufIere,
for all these many months, during which
time the only respite, the only relief from
her inability and pain we're her books and
papers, which she read almost constantly.
When a soul like hers has broken
All its letters and its chains,
Soaring on its white wings upward,
Far above earth's lingering pains,
Then your tears should not Be falling,
Nor your souls lie faint and sick;
You should see the white robes cleaning
Through the shadows black and thick;
You should lift your eyes to Heaven,
To her spirits native cline;
You should let the light eternal
Stream through this black hour Of time.

Most people have been under the impress
sion that Fl. Dodge was hurrah town with
shout fourteen kinds of cyclones variegated
with sundry raids of cowboys and frontiers-
men with its accompaniment Of poker play
ers snd tiger buckers. bu; j; is astonishing
how quick persons idea Of place
changes when the proper evidence comes
UP. Yesterday the reporter had his idea OF
wears standing knocked into cooked hat
by an interview with . cowboy from that
city. He had all the pharAphernalia and &C
coutrennents of q genuine cowboy. from the
fringed leather leggings and spurs to the
wide .ombrero, with leather belt around it;
he had the pop and belt full Of cartridges ali
complete and in apple pie order. He could
pass under the critical eye . Choctau as q

broke the reporter all up, who knows the

Knocked bis ideas Of cowboys into snither-

each one SO that everything moved OF in =

promptly than at first.
saw a report in the Beacon in which the
writer makes mistake in saying that the
classe. are divided according TO the grade Of
their certificate, that is mistake. Each one
takes the class or studies without any re-
gard to grade ofcerti6cate.
for one was glad to see such large At
tendance Yesterday, for after the exertion
made BY some We feared that the exccrion
would draw large number from the initi-
tute but the most of the members are here
for business.
The orders of the day are carried out
without any friction.
In arithmetic Mr.. Fitzpatrick Clay gained
some new points that will be valuable to
the young teachers, for - everyone known,
mistakes in addition are more numerous
than in any other branch. In philosophy
the question of the muscles was under dis
cussion and i. was well handled and some
lively talk was INDUCED in as TO the time to
take exercise and as to the effect il has on
the human body. Mr.. Joy had long list
Of names on the blackboard of the muscles
but they were such outlandlish names that
the pupils assumed . very mysterious look,
as much as to say did not know that We
were filled up with those terrible things, but
tomorrow we shall continue the same sub
ject, with the addition of something on the
digestive organs.
In grammar we had sentences of all
kinds, simple, compound and COM
pick. Exercises were given in
changing from one to the other, also in
enlsrging the subject and predicate, show
ing that it could be done with great facility
by most of the class.
In history Mr.. Fitzpatrick had the inter-
colonial war for his subject Each war was
described. the causes, dates and results Of
each.
In geography the county officers and
their duties were given. Some might think
that was not in the line Of geography. but if
anyone thinks so let them try to be here and
examine most wonderful little book called
a course of study, and they can find out q
number of things that cannot be found out
side of that book.
Mr. Hammcnd's class in philosophy had q
lesson on force and motion that was at
tentiyely listened to by all.
The elias. in bookkeeping was cut short
by some mistake in dismissing the class IN
the wrong time. This requires correcting.
We had quite a large number Of visitors
that were welcome, and among them l no.
ticed the familiar face of Rev. Harper.
Our number was increased by thirteen
more additions, making the whole number
l7O, with about thirty more to come,
think. Your REroRrER.

committee have notified these institutions to
move ontside the prescribed limits The
condition of these places are necessarily very
bad in sanitary point. Tie fat factory
was in very bad condition, and though it
is an absolute necessity that such an estab-
lignment should be allowed, it ought to be
removed at the earliest time practicable out
side Of the limits prescribed by law. The
proprietor told Mr.. Richie that they would
move out at an early date, as soon as they
could arrange their location. 1t was
thought that ninety days would be allowed
them to vacate.
