PRACTICAL Another Res /
clse.-A gentleman from Fulton informs us
uI1ttb village was q theatre Of quite an
exciting time, to .ay The least, on Sunday
evening last. The story is as follows: Rev.
Mr.. King, pastor vi a regular Wesleyan
Methodist, A bul;ion. Amalgamat' on Church
at Fulton, has an interesting and quite pref
ty daughter, whom for some years past he
has kept al school at that pink Of "pig-
ger'' institution called the McGrawville
College, lochte1 south of u in Cortland
county. While there, it seems that "A GER
tain genuine negro, connected with the in
siitutiOn called Professor 4 Hen, and herself,
became enam0rcd OF each other, aud there
upon entered upon the requisite s,pulltions
and agreements to constitute what is known
to those interested in such matters as an en-
% cement to be married. little time since,
the damscl went home to er amalgama-
ton preaching parents, and made known
the arrangements whereby their lovely
daughter expected soSA to be folded in the
hymenial arms of aDd-aabaster Sambo.
The parents demonstrated and begged,
and got the brOibers aud sistfrs to inter
pose, but all TO no effect. The blooming
damsel was determined to pnrtake Of the
"bed and board" and inhale the rich odors
which which Mc(irawville College teach
ing had pictured 10 her in life like eloquence;
and more than this. she woGld not retain
her membership with the denomination that
breaches but declines to practice, and sent
her resignation in due form OF law.
Whereupon down from McGfawvilIe
comes the blushing Allen, derked in wed
ding garb, and on Sunday morning, he hal
woke from ponderous sleep, and thought he
/ heard playing on the air such sweet music
/ ~As arc those dulcet .ounIs in break Of day.
That creep into the dreaming ~ii'grooIn's 3 car,
And summon him tU mar RAG.
/ But evening came. and ss the anxious
couple could not have the nuplial rites cele-
brated under the Reverend fathers roof
they withdrew to Phillips tavern on the
West side OF the river. and made prepara-
tions for the ceremonies. In the mean lime
the affair had got whispered about the town
and the incensed populace some five hundred
strong,m made ready to ''disturb the meeting.
Several prominent citizens, fearing lest a Sc
rious row should follow, repaired to the mar
riaoe house, and while some kept the rio
down by speeches and persuasion, otherI
|, gained admittance to the cOlors. Allen oT
being asked if he was married, replied "No,
=, but that he would be in few minGtes. HI
was demonstrated with and told the conse
, quenccs that would ensue-that he woul
l be mobsed, and must leave town imEedi
ately. He responded that he knew what h
/ was about-and was a free man in FIRE
country, and should do as he pleased.
r By this time the outsiders could be hel
;, no longer, and the window curtains bein
d drawn, our hero "saw and trembled,' an
n cried for mercy. The dansel didn't fain
e but at once consented to go home, and WI
k hurried into a sleigh and was driven off viii
d Sambo under disguise, and surrounded
t, Abohtionists, was hustled out of the crow
j, over to the Fulton House. The multitu,
soon followed, eager and raVing to grab Il
"nigger," but after little he was got aw'
re from the house, by some sly corner, al
s. hurried to Syracuse in sleigh, at the top
two horses speed.
), Thus the black cloud avoided the whiI
!. wind, and thus ended "Another Rescue
l. Syracuse Star.
