Rev. Dir. Bicknell, of the p. Z. Church.

of Moore's Hotel, Leonardtown, in the
presence Of about thirty interested spec

Sunday last, while Mr.. and Mrs. Beans
were at church and their daughter was
at home, Mr.. Fitzhugh gave the old people
the slip, and with his prospective bride
and fleet horse started In search of a
minister. The irate father found out what
was up and started in chase. Through
Gloucester county. across the Planka-
tank river, up through Middlesex and
Essex counties the race went The Rap
pahannOck was crossed, and on through
Richmond and Westmoreland counties
they drove until theP Potomac was reached
and the Steamer Wakefield was boarded.
Then the fleeing couple reached Leon

license was obtained. and the words
were spoken that in this old fashioned

The bride and groom remained Mt the no.

always after.

she went in the house with the ham.
When she returned the chickens had up
set the soup in the kitchen floor. While
lamenting the loss of her soup another
set of chicks were enjoying fried ham in
the house. When the family sat down
to dinner Chat which was left) she had
made tea in the coffee urn and coffee in
