Incident on the G, ". Railroad.

A corresp ondent Of the Lake Huron
Commercial communicates the following
to that journal. Al the time and place
of meeting the train or cars, oflentimes
amusing incidents occur. must record
one of tie most ludicrous, and at The
same time awkward affairs. In passing
up to the Ingersoll station, there was a
great crowd Of people, who had escorted
a couple who had been joined in the
bonds Of wedlock. All were smiling as
The morning sun. The baggage had
been checked for Detroit, where they
were destined, as their bridal trip. rne
couple were seated in the cars, which on.
ly larry few moTenis, when the BRIDE
groom. at her suggestion, stepped on. 10
get some cakes. While making change,
The whistle blew, and Doth trains started.
He Jumped on and passed out, and after
very leisnrely slowing away the cakes in
his pocket, be started forward to hunt his
bride. He looked all through the train
without finding her, and then accosed
the conductor as follows:
81 cay, captain, some of the passen.
gers are left"
"Can't help it, sir" replied The con.
ductor.
"But," says the bridegroom, 81 was
married this morning, and nv wife was
aboard, and l don's see how she got out.
The conductor, seeing what fix he
was in, and where the mistake was, ask
ed him where he was going; to which he
replied that he was going to Detroit.
"Well, them" says the conductor, "you
are The one that got out; you are now
going towards Niagara Falls"
"Great God! Is that SO! Well, stop
the cars Immediately" says the bride
groom.
"Can'i do it," says The conductor, "we
never stop for any thing"
But" says the man, Il am jus, mar
ried this morning, and here am going
one way, and my wife The other. Was
ever man in such fix! and the captain
won't stop the cars"
Al know il is bad fix TO be in." says
the conductor. "but can't help it. /
know how you feel; l have been married
myself, but | must obey orders"
BY This time crowd in the cars had
collected around the unfortunate man, all
of whom knew ,he whole affair. A Ian
tern jawed specimen Of Yankee hear
ing it all, put in a word or two:
''Look here, old Teller, you have got
to grin and bear it. wish could help
you, as you have raised all my feelings"
"Bu. say" continued he, II guess she
wont take any body else for you when
she gets to Detroit, for they don't have
any of that kind"
.'Tha, kind" said The married man,
"what do you meant"
why" says the Yankee, "lhey don't
have any SO ugly"
This led to row, and, the excitement,
being over, left Tor my sea. aud laughed
for ten minutes al least.
