WAYS OF THE WABASH VALLEY.
Vincennee Commercial: It is reported from the lower part of Gibson county that a young man and lady living at St James station were engaged to be married, but the girl's mother objected to her prospective son-in-law. They made up a plan by which they expected to evade the old lady and elope. The old woman dropped onto the racket, and kept low until the night of the enterprise, and by some means kept the girl out of the way until she played her trick. She dressed herself out, took the stand that the girl was to fill and awaited resulta. The young fellow and a companion drove up. The young chap jumped out, threw a shawl over the girl's head put her in the buggy, jumped in, and away they went. The old lady scuffled until she got the shawl off, and then went to work. She shrieked murder! help! and tore that fellow's head and face until he found out that the old lady was mistress of the situation, when he jumped from the buggy and has "gone west.." The old lady made the other chap take her home, and threatened to have him arrested for trying to kidnap if he didn't behave, and promise not to try to steal her girl again. He made the promise.
Kansas Journal: A special from Tuscola, 111., tells how a sensation was caused near that place last Sunday, when the body of Mrs. H. Shaffer, wife of a prominent farmer, was about to be buried at the cemetery. At the grave, while surrounded by a large assemblage of mourning friends and relatives, the casket was opened. Her life-like appearance was remarkable. Her cheeks were rosy and her limbs were not rigid, as is usual with corpses. Friends insisted that the funeral should not take place and it was at once postponed. Doctors were summoned and they are now using every means to bring her back to life. Their efforts seem likely to prove successful, and the result is awaited with great anxiety. Mrs. Shaffer died, or apparently died, suddenly Friday evening, while about her household duties and in good spirits.
Vincennes Commercial: Miss Ella Bass, daughter of Ez. Bass, a farmer residing on W. H. Brevoort's farm, near this city, has a pair of chickens which were hatched just one week before the November election. The little chicks were named Harrison and Morton when taken into the house, and were raised pete, apart from the other fowls. It is strange that on the 26„h of February, just one week before the beginning of Harrison's administration, the pets were put out of the house, and the rooster, for the first time be knew be had a voice, crowed ten times at the top of hie voice, "Hurrah for Harrison and Morton."
Crawfordsville Argus News: Everybody in town knows Stanley Simpson's dog Gardner. He can open and close doors and perform more tricks than the average circus canine. One of his accomplishments is to do his own marketing. If given a nickle he will take the coin in his mouth, go to the butcher's and exchange it for meat. He has got to be a regular beggar, worse than any child, and if he hears any one rattling money in bis pocket he will immediately begin to whine and bark, asking as plainly as he can for a coin with which to treat himself.
Charleston Courier: There is a man in Charleston, 69 years of age, who has been married forty-eight years, raised a family of twelve children, nine of whom are living all grown and married, excepting two, and, since his marriage, has moved and lived in sixty-one different houses and will make his next move this month or as soon as he can get house. This statement is true, and we claim our man as the champion mover of the universe.
Exchange: A maiden from the city tripped lightly 'mid the trees, and sniffed the pungent odor that floated on the breeze. "O, tell me, ancient farmer, with arms so brown and bare, what is that wondrous flower that scents the morning air?" Loud laughed the ancient farmer, till the tears rolled down hie cheek. "Why, bless you, that's a polecat, and I've smelt him for a week."
Cloverdale Leader: J. H. Sparks recently re-dressed a pointing hammer for Jacob Hartsaw that is supposed to be the oldest hammer in Putnam county. The hammer has been in the Hartsaw family for 120 years. It is a blacksmith's hammer, and is called a pointing or riveting hammer, and at this day is quite a curiosity.
An exchange says: You may have the stars in a nail keg, hang the ocean on.a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd and unbuckle the belly-band of eternity and let the sun and moon out, but don't think you can escape the place that lies on the other side of purgatory if you don't pay for your paper.
