Ist chapter, mutual mash, everything lovely. 2nd chapter, mash is nowhere, but is overwhelmed by an ocean of love. Me or she pops, accepted, they are engaged. 3rd chapter, her Pa hears of it, objects, in treats, threatens, no use. Young love is stronger than old foggy ism. 4tl. chapter, obdurate parent orders post master at DeMotte to hold her letters and deliver thorn only to him. P. M. does so,—stern parent -rufcUnnt. lovers desperate, and determined.

Mr. Nourse was thrown from Iris horse, one day Inst week, ami badly bruised. His physician. Dr. Patton, prepared s< hie u:e<:mine and some liniment for him, and, by mistake, he took a teasDoonful of the latter. As it contained tincture of aconite, in such proportions that he got ten or twelve drops in the dose he took, they were very much alarmed, but the Dr. promptly gave the necessary,antidote, and no ill effects wore experienced. .
