Anecdotc.

AnGCVOeCs
The following amusing adventure. given
BY u correspondent, writing from Buffalo,
actually took pace in the town Of M,
in Ohio, two years ago. 1t would have
made even the late Icaac Hicks laugh at
il solemn meeting on Seventh day. -
"Farm.r - had two dang'ers, very
interesting young ladies. yet in their teens,
who were quite romantic in their notions.
Their f,ther was an arisrocra,ic member
of the Baptist church, and Of course was
very particular as TO the company" his
girls ihould keep" Now j. happened
that these two pretty girls became ac-
ceuain,ed with cople Of young bucks,
clerks in an adjoining village, and, to use
common phrase, ''took quite shyin' to
EN-" To this the DID gentleman was
very much opposed, as he intended to
match his daughters himself But "twas
no use" talking to them; willie week af-
ter week wore away, and found the
young men contant visitors. At length
IN order 10 enforce obedience, the OLD man
found himself driven TO the necessity Of
locking up the foolish children who had
presumed without his consent to fall in
love with couple Of poor ,radesmen.-
The sweet girls were accordingly contin-
ed on Sunday afternoons in the back bed
room in the seconi story, which fronted
the barn-yard; very romantic look out"
Under the windows was a pile Of stones
which had been left after repairing the
cellsr-wall in that corner. For two or
three successive Sabbath evenings. the
usual period Of visiting their inamoratu.,
The lovers had climbed, by means Of the
sheets Of the bed, which were let down
from the window by the heroic girls, up
10 the apartment o! their imprisoned
lovers.
But this clandestine courtship could
not be continued withou, being at last dis
covered. One lovely Sabbath, just 81,
twilight, the father, coming in from the
barn, though, he saw something rather
ominous hanging out Of the back window;
sn he walked noiseIesslv around to ascer-
tain tho mature of it, There hung the
fatal flag Of surrender;' and the old man
giving j, slight jerk, commenced the
ascent. He was lifted gently from of his
feet, and felt himself gradually rising in
the world Twas very heavy weight,
the daughters thought; and to tell the
truth, it was corpulen, body corporate
at which they were hopefully tugging
away. But lY!-his head has reached the
window sill; and now just as his white
hat apneared aboye the window, his affee-
lionate daughters dropped HIM like hot
pots,o;' while the two knights Of tape and
scissors, who were not far of. enjoying
the scene, made hasty tracks from the
settlement leaving nothing behind them
BIZ, bodily misery, horror-strieken damseis
and their own coat tails, streaming on the
cool night air!' A

The SON Of Muraf.

Among the prominent citizens Of Flo.
rida we find a live prince; the son u M.
rat, King Of Naples. Prince Achills Mn.
Il. j: :n! s1fs s1arg Eseiy III 4.
Of his chivalric love Vt glory, he has set
tied down on plantation. the quiet citi.
zen and spectator Of the affairs Of the
world. Various anecdotes are related q
him. The prince once fought duel. He
came to the ground with his surgeon, and
took his station, smoking cigar. He quiz
city pulled his meers chaum, and when the
word was given he fired. The unfortu.
naie FIoridian, his antagonist was shot
aud fell. Murat's surgeon seeing his en-.
ployer bolt upright, ran to assist the fallen.
The prince, who had little finger cut
nearly off by the others ball, called 70 HE
surgeon--"Wha, for you go theres See
you, doctair," holding up his finger dang
ling by bi, of skin, II want you cut ny
finger off. Let him, poor devil, 90. He
got wha, he come for. pay you vun
hundred dollar to come here and cut bull
let out Of my body if dam rascal shoot him
in. Let him pay for his own carving. II
he not satisfied l give him another ball
just so soon as you can Gu, OF my finger"
But one ball did satisfy his antagonist, and
they retired.
The prince is fond Of hunting, and he
goes in for the profits Of the field and
moor. Nothing that swins the water,
flies the air, crawls or walks the earth,
but he has served up on his table. Alli-
g.tor steak, frogs shine, boiled owls. and
roasted crows are found psiata.le; but
there is one animal the prince don't like.
The buzzsrd is one too many for him.
81 try him fried; l 'ry him roasted; l try
him s,ewed, and make soup of him, but
the huzzA'd is not gonte. have no pre-
judice against him, but cook him every
way, and then no like him." Buzzsrd's
soup! think Of that! 1t takes the French.
man to develop the resources Of new
country.
