A well known busi- ness man, the senior partner in a large wholesale firm, informed a Mail reporter that he will probably be one cf the party who will +tart for the gold fields early in the spring of 1897. The othe:s who think of going are all we!] known in this city, and are men of means. kt was at firet proposed to make a start this fall, but the accounts of hardships and difficulties ex- perienced en route to the gold fields deter~ red the party from making the attempt. The gentleman who volunteered the in- formation will not sever his business coo~ nection in this city, and will go more as a matter of speculation. If there is aay gold to be bad he will remain; if not he will return and resume business here.—€Ualifax Mail.

AN ELOPEMENT BY MIDNIGHYD,

A lively little bit of romance and a hasty marriage is wagging the tougues of the gossips at Joggins today. For some time past it has been known that tender feelings existed between J. H. Melanson, a widower of some 30 years, and Laura Hill, a pretty miss in the vicinity of sweet sixteen. They were lovers in spite of what friends would advise, and expressed a determination to wed. In the very early part of Wednesday morning the ardent lover visited the home of his charmer, and she quietly wept to meet him. —‘ The pair drove to Muccan and reached Amherst on the accommodation. They registered at the Terrace, and the groom interviewed Iseuer of Marriage License Read and asked for a license. He then saw Father Mihan, but in the absence of the necessary docu- ment from his parish priest Father Mihan refused to perform the ceremony. ‘I'he couple then left for Sackville, but as there Was no priest at that place, either went to Memramcook or back to Joggins, which they reached at ten o’clock. A despatch from the mines today states tbat Mr. Melanson and Mise Hill were married, but did not state where the ceremony was performed.—Ambherst Press.
