Tllfrlnl0yv. a Curious circumstance
lately occurred Oh the subject OF this ho.
ly state. A couple engaged themselves
to be married the day was fixed; the
company invited; the ring, the parson,
the cake, and all the other occasional
comforts were prepared; the bride and
bridegpo1, dressed and pcrluncd, were
seated near the fire, billing and cooling.
Every thing was ready; when 10! and
behold, just before the parson said those
ominOus words, 'love, honor and obey,'
the tickle bridegroom changed his mind,
and refused TO marry. In vain were the
prayers and entreaties OF friends urged
in vain the tears and anger OF the bride
exhibited the gay Lotharo WAS inexo-
rable. Here sat the bride overwhelmed
with grief; there the iced plumb cake
and cordial untouched, while reason and
argument were thrown away upon the
obstinate lover. At length, the friends
Of the lady became enragel, and at two
O'Clock in The morning, were about beat
ing The bridegroom into compliance
with his engagement, when he made his
escape, and the next morning swore the
peace against those guests, who had at
tempted TO lhump him into matrimony,
when these facts leaked out, and the par
ties wer bound over.--N. I fGS.

Danqcr from ashes We lately ven.
tured to caution housekeepers and do
mcstics against setting. away ashes in
wooden vessels, a seriou, calamity hav-
ing been recently threatened from that
practice. Since which caution we learn
that in the cellars Of block OF buildings
near The centre OF the town a quantity OF
ashes was deposited in barrel, which
took fire and bat for the circumstance OF
an early discovery would have communi-
Gated with other combus.ible materials,
and probably have laid va'roble portion
Of the town in ashes. Some people learn
wisdom from experience! but on the
subject of fires it is bazNdous and
sometimes costly method, and oft
times comes too late TO be productive Of

1t is with unfcigned regret that we
learn that the cases of Fever, greatly
muItiyly in New York, and that the alarm
of the citizens extends to every part of
the city. Ills said that all the public in
situations are making arrangements TO
move, and that more than 10000 Of the
citizens have abandoned their dwellings.
The first death which excited alarm in
this city in 1898 was on the 10Th Of Au-
gust, and the removals began about the
25th or Goth ofthat month. The whole
number then swept off by thai dreadful
pes,ilence was 4o4l: Of these but S25
died in the month of August. Happily
the disease is much better. understood
now than it was thirty years ago. There
is, however, no safety but in fight, and
while we hope that our fellow citizens at
New York will fly, we trust that our
gates will not be shut against them.---
Their losses must be great; let US do
all we can TO mitigate their stfferings
and diminish their losses. Itisour duty
so to do, and let not slavish fear or al
,achment to theories lead US from the
path Of duty and humanity. Press.
