The wife of Frederick Taylor, living near Atlantic, in the upper part of our county, eloped on last Friday with Jas. Ailworth, to parts unknown. We give the item as a mere matter of news, the parties to the elopement not being of sufficient importance to make it a subject of much comment. The woman to the transaction has figured in our courts in the past a little too disreputably to make her the subject of a sensation article, and of the man a fair estimate may be made of his worth, when we relate that he very generously donated a dollar on leaving to the support of a wife and baby boy he left behind him.

Mr. James L. Carmine, the proprietor of a large canning establishment at Boggsville, in our county, visited our office on yesterday. It is hardly necessary to say that he was a welcome visitor. Men of his character, who like him, have brought their capital among us and who, by their enterprise and habits of industry make their interest identical with ours will find a ready hand extended to them wherever they go.

Mrs. Emma Wright, of this place, came near losing her life one day last week from a stray pistol ball. The ball struck a pane of glass where only a moment before she had been sitting. The shot shattered the glass and fell upon the floor. Shooters should be more careful in handling their pops.

John Cropper, colored, from the upper part our county, now boards at Castle Melson, in this place. He was induced to take up his residence here for the simple reason that he had been raising poultry -- off another man's roost. He raised fifteen dollars' worth, in consideration of which Capt. Ben. Melson will board him twenty days from the date he registered. He came on the 22nd inst., and we learn that 'Squire Taylor recommended the change for John's health.
