dropped the scissors because the citi.

that is now the talk Of the village.
1t seems that our journalistic friend
formed the acquaintance OF O young
lady residing near Dover somo time
ago, who took him home with her one
evening when men were very scarce,
and he became infatuated with the idea
that she belonged to him. FUnder this
impression he became q frequent caller
at the house. The old folks sized him
up, and coming to the conolusio that
he wasn't built right for either q parlor
ornament or q field hand, forbade his
visits.
This but increased his ardor, and he
determined to possess the object of his
affection ut all hazards. The elopement
idea struck him as abont the surest
plan, and he set about putting 1t In
execution. Without even consulting
the lady he went to Squire Colt, IN
Smyrna, Saturday week and procured
q marriage license. Then he hied him
TO Dover-or came down on the train,
which is about the same thing and
began to prospect The father of the
young lady saw him around town, how.
