Tbit was about the state of things op to Saturday night last, the* mgbt previous to the elopement. Last Sunday a well known and wealthy oil operator, doing business nt Pioneer, expressed a desire to send a span of horses and carriage (which be had been driving about the adjacentcountry, exhibiting its wonders and wealth to a Pfcrty of friends,) to Titu-vUic No aooner pad thi desire b««n m ide known wheo a young mm (who was none other the hero oi this simple story, Smflkins himself,) stepped tip and stid ihit he was desirous Of reaching this metropolis of the oildorado; aod everything being agreeable he left in the early evening, ostensibly for Titusville. Shortly after, the discovery was made that the young lady was also missing, and as several-persona bad «lt; eo the engineer depart with a lady ctoaely veiled, occupying I he s,-ai beside bin, it dawned upon thc^ inr-kccpcr’s mind that the birds had flowH—hi point of b»ct, that yoking Sniff kina hod vamosed with young Bliflkins.

Hues has pur-chased a new bearsc, on establishment wbkh does credit to his business enterprise as well as proftsslotini taste. In the primitive times, when such vehicles were t noveliy in this region, and when our friend Russ’ “body dispatcher” was scot to Tidiouto. tbe establishment was mtslaki o for a circus wagon, and the driver was accosttd by some of tbe natives along the route for information as to where he luti-iHcd “to show ” Since times were changed, nod the vil lage developed iato a bazough, and Uie borough expanded into a city, there I as been n praiseworthy competitive exertion among the nnderta kcra to improve Ihe atyle of these vehicles, and ! Mr. Russ has at length procured an establish mcnt that will compare favorably with tbe best la the largest cities. The body of the vehicle is a model of its kind, being oval in form, well proportioned and finished in elaborate style. The panda are oval glass; the op-per margin being festooned with gold fringe and gold tassels. Th interior is veneered with rosewood aod the outside ornamented with plumws and ailvcr mountings, it was manufactured by Raymond A Co. of New York, and was delivered here at a cost exceeding $1500 Happily there Is not a very active demand for articles of ibis kind in Titusville,as our mortuary record sbowe ; but aa we moat all “come to it,” you know, bow comforting it is to feel that there ia noncceasitjr Ihr being packed like a sardine in atXHCf* Rattling Lis bones over tbs stones,” when tbe iiaei offices of friendship can be as so. perbly performed under tbe melancholy supervision of the funereal Rum, as any other man.boaompi ludii the Me the vie he eli-liter, JelAMesknew Itmrtii cThen : 220 , 223, me wo aUrlt rltuultilaf tell lb (hlt; nvj ii fiKit |n;w.** f,irto cau 8urjft d the twetty two ing tnat hiu co I u Kiik c«i left htiniihe nrtiNew Y.ploturowlilc'ilimb* i wha a burly fotillltfft wllljwt 1 diepluje♦ bey m down wl♦ arthqiifl were ot ahook lure Irenlooee ttiflto shake her purji But tb« and wlt;TheTai Mxthodist Latubn’a Qc*STioa.-Tbe General Conference of 1808 virtually declared their willingness to admit a lay delegation to their body whenever it conld bo ascertained that the people desired It.
