A YOUNG LADY's STRANGE FRBAK,

RUTLAND, Vt, Sept. 29.-Anna,
the IS-year-old daughter of DIR.
Hiram A, Hawloy, station agent
at Delmar Junction of the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad, took
her fathers horse from the stable

off her hair, changed her clothing
for mans garb, and had rode
away on horseback. She left a
note saying that mono need follow
her, as she would never return. A
person, supposed to have been the
missing girl, was ferricd across
Lake Champlain from Larrabe's
point to Tlconderoga, about s
o'clock Sunday morning. Miss
Hawlcy was q peculiar and finely
educated young woman.

Another attempted swindle by
means of altered notes was discov-
cred at the United States sub-treas-
ury IN Baltimore Thursday. A
one-dollar note pasted where the
one should be, was handed in with
some other money, and detected in
time to prevent any loss. This
game, says the Sun, has been going
on for some time. A figure cut
from a two-dollar note is substitute
ed for the smaller figures on one
dollar note, and the One-dollar note
passed off for a two. The two-dollar
note from which the figure has been
cut is not mulllated enough to
make 1t unredcemable, and it is
passablc for its full value, so that
the fellow who can pass a one-dol-
lar note for a two is Just a dollar
ahead on every So.

On Thursday night there was
quite large and enthusiastic owl
meeting held Cedar Hill cOlorcd
college, in the Eichholtz neIghbor-
hood. The Republican and Peoples
candidates were out in full force.
The Republicans had called the
meeting, but the Peoples candi-
dates were on hand TO see fair
play. A chairman was duly elected,
and speaking began, both sides
bong gwen an equal showing. 1t
having been claimed by the Ro-
publicans that the present county
administration had been extrava-
giant in the expenditure of money
and the lcvying of taxes, docu-
mcntary evidence was produced,
and the charge was completely re-
tuted. Whom the Republican coun-
ty administration went out of
power they left the county saddled
with a heavy debt, no bridges
worth naming, and worse roads.
Since the present administration
has been in power the debt con-
tractcd by the former administra-
ton has been paid off, good
bridges have been built and paid
for, and county scrip is ut par, with
money enough in the treasury to
pay all current demands till taxes
are collected. With this condition
of affairs staring them in the face
the opposition candidates are try
ing TO create an impression that
there has been extravaganza. They
will have TO inv Ont Il more plausi-
bic "Wigglnsism" than that. Every
body knows who and what Virgins

Owl meetings are now of night
ly occurrance. During a political
canvass the owl meetings is now,
in this section of the country, fully
recognized as being perfectly le-
climate and each and every owl
meeting is fully attended by tho
representatives of the opposing
candidates. Originally the owl
meeting was the sole property of
tho Republicans who called secret
meetings of their whilom coIorcd
friends. The opponents ofthc re-
puhlIcans "caught on TO the rack
ct and always made it convenient
to attend those owl meetings and
to correct any false impressions
the Republican candidates for
county offices might make. By
this means the owl meeting has
come to be recognized as strictly
legitimate and highly proper, it
has been the means of enlightening
the colored voters on good many
points of interest and they now, to
very considerable extent, think
and act for themselves.
