An Elopemkjjt Almost. One day kst week, a young man approached Conductor Hanlok, and asked birr, to stop his t rain, at the cut, east of town, on a certain day, as he was makiig arrangements to
elope with a young lady whose parents were net particularly fond of hira. Ever ready to lend a helping hand to the distressed, Hanloh consented,and upon the day indicated stopped hk train, but the funeral procession failed to put in an appearance. It was afterwards ascertained that at an early hour in the morning tho festive yaung lover presented himself at the residence of his affianced, and that she accompanied him soine distance from tho house, when it occurred to her that she had forgotten some article which she considered necessary to complete her outfit, and returned for it. Just tit this tine, Pa awoke, with premonitions of danger to something or somebxly, lie knew not what, but feeling restless, he went to the door and wis confronted by his daughter.
Comprehending the state of affairs at a glance, he dashed into the front yard and found .he young man impatiently "waiting; for thee, love." In language more forcible than polite, the young ma a was given choice between walking off of the premises or being shot oif. Not being sujplied with a decent out-fit of grave clothe.s,and concluding that the night air wits unheal ;hy, tho y. m. moved off in good order. P.S.

taken place in this road, within the
past three years. Time was when trains seldom Jailed to fly the track
between this place and Bedford. In
fact the freight was off, eight trips outr of ten, and the passenger trains were accustomed to "taking the ditch' at least twice; in each week. This .state of dungs was owing to
the condition of the track and road bed, raore thau to any thing else, for the employes were as faithful and competent then as now. The old

The Railroad Election passed off
quietly, and resulted in the defeat of
tho proposition to raise $85,000 by
taxation. As is usual in contests of
this character, considerable bad feel
ing was developed, slumbering local
jealousies were fanned into a blaze, and many unguarded a;3seitions made during the canva.:;s, that it is
hoped will be retracted and forgot
