The New York Times of a recent date Erintell the following Wilkesbarre, Pa., ispatch: This town has been the kcene of the most novel elopement on record. It was n_business elopement from the start. Charles Seeley, a well to do livery stable keeper of Albany, N. Y., came to this city where he met and was introduced to Miss Sally Boyle, a veéry pretty girl. aged only "Scventeen years. Secley was love struck at first vight and proposed marriage, but the girl’s parents who are respoctable and tolerably well to do people, refused to hear of it as the girl was too young. Beeley returned to Albany much cast down in spirits. On Thursday la made a second \'i-il heve and in the evening he and Miss Boyle went out for n walk. This was the last seen of them. They eloped, took a train for Philadel- phia, where no license is required and were united. The bride telegraphed to her parents asking their forgiveness. Beforeconsenting to clope Miss Boyle made sure that Sceley did not intend to deceive her later on, 5o she compelled him to assign over his property in Al- bany to he celey readily did this, as he was willing to do anything to get the bride. A Peculiar Bridal Trip. One day recently, at Hartford, says the New York Sun,a charcoal cart drawn by apair of meek-eyed oxe drove up to a clergyman’s residence in this town, and the occupants .nu;rlnml and marched up to the front door. The man was dressed in his working clothes and his face was covered with the dust of the coal which he had been peddling all da; The woman wore the fashions of 1850, and evidently was nmkul out in the finest she could ‘afford hey were ushered into the ministor's study and informed him th had come to get married. On inquiring for the license it was found that this 1mportant docu- ment had been forgotten, and the groom and his lady love proceeded to the town clerk’s office to get it. The bride was asked her age, and after a serie fil[zulas responded that she did now. *‘Oh, tell him you are forty,” suggested the groom. “You know you are that.” And forty was recorded. Holding the document in his grimy hand, the groom, followed by the bride, started for the clergyman’s where they weresoon married. Returning to their cart after the ceremony the wife made two or three unsuccessful attempts to climb in over the front wheel. She had to give it up, and her hushand lead her around to the rear of the cart, where he tenderly boosted her in, and helped her 10 a seat by hisside, her feet swinging in the air. They started southward, apparently as happy as though they were beginuiug their bridal trip ina palace car. it-looking young man en- tice Lane's ‘oflice in Jersey City the other day, says the New York Sun, and, taking fron his pocket » pad, wrote: you give me a marriage li- cense?”? 40, ‘an you speak?” wrote the judge. 5t wrote the visitor Do you want to be married?” “T do. you bet,” wrote the young man, whose face a moment aft brightened wonderfully when he read: “No licenso is required here. 1l marry you now.” He wrote in reply: be back at 4 o'clock w left the office.

PEREGOY & MOORE, OUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. (CUT THIS OUT AND POST IN YOUR WINDOW.) A JEWELER'S ROMANCE. There has come to light at Lea worth, Kan.. says the Jewelers’ Re- view, a case which might, furnish an excellent theme for the novelist. Thir- teen years ago, Lyman J. Ellster kept a small j s repairing shop in Kansas City. Isler’s. business pros- pered as the city grew, and on the day he received a consignment of $4.500 worth of dinmonds he built stles in Spain from the increasod profits which must henceforth attend his busines His stock of goods he nightly locked in a small safe, the combination of which was known to himself and his young clerk only. With, perbaps, a slight bit of formality, pardonable in a man who had that day received a heavier con- signment than any other merchant in town, he locked his safe that night, and bidding his clerk good night, went home to a happy wife and joyous daughter, who soon expected to become the bride of Ellslers’s young as- tant in businesi ‘When Ellsler ar- rived at his place of businessnext morn- ing, contrary to the general order of things, the store was locked. The show cases had not been filled for the day’s business. Opening the door, Ellsler waited for the clerk, who soon a ved, flushed when giving as an excuse for his t s that he had overslept him- self. The young man busied himself h putting the sto in order, while Ilsler turned the combination of the safe, preparatory to beginning business for the day. Suddenly Ellsler gasped, fell backward, and uttering the one word **Gone!” felt into a dead stupor. The precious gems received the day be- fore, and the chameis bag which con- tained them, were not in the safo. The combination being found untampered with and its workings being known but to himself and his clerk, the latter was accused of the robbery,which charge he stoutly denied. Sur not the nocturnal v of gold and silve 150 have disappeared. The clerk was placed under arrest, but as no deflnite testimony could be brought to bear against him Re was released. KEven after her father's heavy loss, and when circum- stances pointed to her lover as the guilty person, Ellsler’s daughter, Emily would not believe him guilty, and in- side of two years, during which time young clérk had been employed in _ouis, they were married, removing ven- yearpassed, and with its departure camé a baby boy. Much against his own wishes, but at the urgent request of his wife, The husband sent news of the hap event to Ellsler and his wife. Hm answer was brief texrible: **You have given birth to the son of a thief,” was all it said, but it was enough to break the young mother’ heart, und she died in the course of a week., Ellsler's business rapidly dropped off, und flnancial difficulties following, hie was enabled 10 sell out for enough money to purchase several acres on the edge of this city and be- came one of the many gardeners who in the early morning au&:pl\ the market with vegetables and” fruits. For nine years he has been en- gaged in this business, during which time he and his wife have constantly mourned the unhappy gnding of their daughter. The t heavy rains and bad roads have often prevented the old man from making his accustomed trips to the city market, and upon one of these oceasions the family clock having bhecome out of erder. he determined to give a few hours to righting it. In some dulum was accident broken g the job, and the old clockmaker was about tp give the job up for the time being when he bethought himself of what might prove to be a substitute, which had hung motionle since the day he had crossed the ocean and landed, earrvying in his arms the big fumily clock which had timed the hours of his boyhood days in Germany. The family heirloom bad hung on the wall of his store in his more pros- perous days, but it was nl\uns silent among the many ticking watches and clocks. When Ellsler, with the nervousness which sometimes comes in old age, quickened by the sight of an article which hrought back to memory father and mother, sister and brother, ovened the old timepiece, ainly bad no thought of what he would find within.

In conversation with a ccrrespondent Lllsler said: ‘At first it seemed too much like adream to believe and at least a dozen times a day I would run the diamonds through my finger: order to convince myself that it was real. After awhile it all came back to me so plain.
