An acquaintance between tho two waa si rack tip, which ripened into mulaal affection for each other. The parents to their nnlon, tbe young pair resolved on doping. One dirk night the girl left her happy home and started for this city with her lover. Tho mother of the girl, on discovering the absence of her daughter, was convinced in her own mind that (ho bad ran away. The telegraph waa put in operation, and, accord ing to instructions, the train waa stopped and the two elopers captured near Stuebenville. They were brought back and the parentsof the They failed to make out a case, owing to Ihc fact that the girl wonld testify nothing damaging to htr lover. Shortly afterward Frazier started to New York, and from there came to this city; where he remained for some lime, keeping up a secret correspond ence with the object of his soul’s affection. In answer to his request they arranged for an elopement. All ncccssaiy preparations were made and arrangements for departure secretly to Wooster, Ohio, were carefully planned at this point Frazier met her according to agreement, and from there came to this city, where they lived as man and wifo for some weeks. It ia not known whether they were married or not; but it ia presumed they were, as Fra zier wrote to that effect to some friends In Wheeling from this city a few day* ago.

Word was sent to tho strangers who, of course, were supposed to bo man and wife, that tho buggy was ready and wailing at the door. The couple, however, did not promptly come down stairs, and the proprietor waited patiently for his guests, thinking, perhaps, that tho gentleman might need some instruc tions as to which road was bat to drive along. While thus waiting ho was startled by hearing the report of a pistol from the room. Chaunccy instantly, ran up stairs, and was horrified to sec a pistol shot wound in the girl’s forehead, from which the warm was slowly trickling down her ashy palofacc. Kato staggered like a drunken woman and fell helplessly into the terrified landlord’s arms. He slowly descended tbe stairs with his burden, when ho was again staired by a second report of a pistol.

After the parents had been gone a few hours tbe bonse took fire and the oldat girl immediately rrshed to tbc roof with water, but not being able to remove tbo shingle Bhe could do nothing to stay the flames, which gained rapidly, spreading on tho inside of Ihe roof, until bursting through they drove her from her work. Tho heroic girl now turned be attention to saving her brothers and Bis ters. Coming to tho door of the buildiog, she found that the child next to her own age had got ont of the house bringing the baby with her, but the little year old had crouched under a shaving horse in the further corner of the room. There being no chamber floor, the fire was dropping from the burning roof between tho child and tho door, and when asked to comcoutit refused to do ao, saying: “I am safe here; the fire don’t drop here.” Our little heroine hesitated only a moment, but rushing. through the falling embers brought tbc little one to a safe place, both having their clolha somewhat burnt. But now coma the hardest part of the task be fore her. Scantily clothed and with no food she took the babe in ber arms, and with the other children started upon the trail for tbe settlement.

The census of 1870 estimates tho value cf cotton exported from the United States, both is raw mate rial and in a manufactured stale, av amounting to the sum of $184,242,739. showing a consumption at home of only $26,596,961, leaving a dear profit to the coon- tty of $181,243,73) as the proceeds of the cotton crop. On the other hand the census for thesamo period estimates tho value of the orchard products exported both in a green state and as canned and preserved fruits as amounting to the trifling sum I804.IC9 out of $47.3)5,189, the clear profits resulting to the country being only tho sum of tho amount exported -$801,462 00, the whole of tho bal- anco being consumed at home.
