COUNTY, MD.
A special to the Baltimore American from
Middletown, Nd, August 18th, says: There is
considerable excitement In tue northern part
of this valley over the elOpement of two promi-
nent residents of that section. On the I'D in
slant Mrs. Ellen Taylor, a widow lady, aged
about AZ years, residing with her father Mr.
Carly, at Church Hill, between Myersvills and
Eiierton, lett home Ostensibiy to take trip to
ILLINOIS. On the Following day Mr.. Israel Harsh.
man, aged about 45 years. lett his home and
family, consisting OF u devoted wife and five
children, with the avOwed purpose Of visiting
his sister In Pennsylvania. He promised to re-
turn ON the 9Th instant Not putting in an ap-
pearance by the 9th, however, the suspicion of
nls family became aroused, and u neignbor was
dispatched 10 the residence Of the sister in
Pennsylvania to see il he had been there. Ar.
irving at the home Of the sister, IL was found
that Mr.. Harshman had not been seen. Then
the facts became apparent that the couple had
clipped, and one day last week = friend Of Mr..
Hsarshman received q letter from him dated at
palo, illinois, saying that he should sell some
lew articles and turn the money over to his
(Harshman's) family. Harshmans vile, who
Is u daughter OF ex-County Commissioner Jas.
Hooper, OF Church Hill. Is almost crazed with
grief over the cruel abandonment, and says she
~ willing TO forgive her husband Ii ne will only
return. The greatest sympathy Is expressed tor
the abandoned wife, who has returned 10 her
fathers home. Both OF the eloping parties are
we'll known and were hitherto highly respected.

A Little Breeze

BosTos. May 2O.-There has been
some excitement along the water front
over the report that fishing schooner
had been arming in this harbor. The
story is as follows. The schooner
Augusta Herriek. Captain VIM. L. Her
rick, left New York four days
ago. on a fishing trip 70 the
Bay OF Fundy. Hearing OF the
seizure Of the Portland schooner by
Canadians. the owners OF the vessel de-
cided that something must be done 70
protect their property. Herrick &C
coidingly put into the Boston harbor,
and her captain went ashore. He went
20 gun store, and purchased two SO
inch guns. which were delivered on
board. together with a large amount
OF ammunition and small arms. The
schooner was then headed down the
bay on her voyage to the fishing
waters along the Canadian shore. The
yacht guns will penetrate steel amor
half an inch thick at a distance OF a
mile. The captain when asked By the
dealer what he proposed to do with
the guns, replied: ~ am going
n fishing in the Bay of Fundy,
and don't propose to have
any cheap Canadian pirate seizing
my schooner.
