PRAcT1cAL AMALeAMATIoN--Anothe Rescue
gentleman from Fulton informs us that that viii
age theatre of quite an exciting time, to say
the least, on Sunday evening last The story is as
follows: Rev. Mr.. King, pastor of regular Yves
leyan Methodist, Abolition, Amalgamation Church
at Fulton, has interesting and quite pretty
daughter, whom for some three or four years past
he has kept at school at that pink of a "nigger'
institution called the MEG rawvlIe College, located
south of US in Cortland county. While there it
seems that certain genuine negro connected with
the institution called Professor Allen, and herself
became enamored of each other, and thereupon
entered into the requisite stipulations and agree
ments to constitute what is known to those inter-
ested in such matters as an ''engagement'' to be
married. A little time since the damse went home
to her ANAL gamation preaching parents, and made
known the arrangements whereby their lovely
daughter expected soon to be folded in the hyme-
neal arms of anti alabaster Sambo.
The parents demonstrated and begged, and
monstrated and begged, and got the brothers and
sisters to interpose but al to no effect. The bloom
ing damsel was determined to partake of the ''bed
and board" and inhale the rich odors which Nc
Granville College teaching had pictured to her IN
life like eloquence and than this, she would
not remain in membership with the denomination
that breaches but declines to practice, and sent her
resig nation in due form of law.

biushing Allen, decked in wedding garb, and on
Sunday morning he half woke from ponderous
sleep and thought he heard playing on the air such
sweet music

Rut evening came, and as the anxious couple
could not have the nuptial rites celebrated under
the reverend fathers roof, they withdrew to Phil
ips's tavern on the west side of the river. and made
preparations for the ceremonies. In the mean
time the affair had got whispered about the town,
and the incensed populace some five hundred strong
made ready to s'disturb the meeting" Several
prominent citizens, fearing lest serious row
should follow, repaired to the marriage house. and

Allen on being asked if he was married, replied
"No,'' but that he would be in few minutes. He
was demonstrated with and told the consequences
that would ensue; that he would be mobbed, and
must leave town Immediately. He responded that
he knew what he was about, and was a free man IN
a free country, and should do as he pleased
