C0URTsHIP BY LIGHTNING.

Ihe Albany Argus tells the following story
OF courtship and engagement by telegraph,
which Is rather "fast, even in this rspid sge.
Some months since, young gentleman of
this city entered the Morse telegraph Office,
and requested TO be instructed in such Of the
mysteries OF telegraphing as the operators
could or would inform him-such as would not
interfere with the secrets of the Office. The
obliging operator proceeded 10 do so, and in
the course OF his instructions explained to the
freshman the DsodHs opeyandi Of writing IL
should be known that at one of the stations,
west OF this city, in quite a small but enter
prising village, 4 female-the school mistress
Of the viliage-is the operator at the telegraph
station.
While the operator in the city was going
through his explanations, the-Ifice called
Albany, and made a business inquiry, TO
which an answer was returned by the Albany
operator, who in a professional manner, in
quired the name Of the anxious inquirer, and
sent it with the gentleman's compliments, to
the - office (which the female had charge
of) Miss c. 1--WE mean the operator) re-
piled, returning her compliments and gave
the state CT the weather, &c at - The
gentleman was "immensely delighted with
the idea of interrogating a person, and that
person a female, one hundred and fifty miles
distant, and through the kindness Of the ope-
ratio; addressed several interrogatories 70 her,
all Of which were answered In a most gratify-
ing manner. The novice in telegraphing was
delighted, not 10 say enchanted. He called
again the next day, and persuaded the opera
tor TO again summons the - office. Again
did be enjoy q most delighted tete-a-tets-
think of a tete-a-tete one hundred and fifty
miles removed with his charming incoenita,
or, VIC should say, inamOrato, for the novice
was all absorbed in Miss c., as the sequel
will prove. For several days did he call and
hold converse with the - Office and its very
obliging operator, each day becoming more
interested. The subject Of discourse, too, was
materially changed, insomuch that the Albany
operator began te feel in rather peculiar
predicament," he being a sort of medium
through which two lover. were holding com
munication. To be brief, the novice continued
to call for space Of two weeks, each day
growing more interested, until at last he put
the question, direct and plump: "WiIl you
marry me :" The telegraph never hesitstes
il Is fast institution, and those who are con-
nected with il becomes fast, 4" as if by inhi-
bition. The lady consented, and the novice,
a few days after, went 20 -, claimed his
bride, aud was married. The parties are now
residents Of this city.

ROosrIyG OF FLTEs.-It is not yet fully
known to what purposes the telegraph wires
may yet be put, or what great benefits to Gre
alton are yet to be derived from the system Of
telegraph. We have heard of birds resting
gpOn the wires stretched through the country,
aad in connection Herewith, various speculs-
tiOns have been started ss TO whether the
birds were cognizant Of any sensation by the
passage Of the electric fluid or whether, as in
some instances they have been found dead
under the line Of the wires, they had not been
killed by shock from the galvanic battery.
The feathered tribe not only make the wires
a perch; for yesterday we saw along the sew
eral lines on Market street, thousands Of flies
sitting upon them: some curiosity was excited
to realize the why and wherefore of this roost-
ing Of so many flies; and the only conclusion
arrived at was, that the markets and stores
being closed in the neighborhood. and being
dull weather and also a holiday, the little
creatures had nothing else TO debut take the
rest that offers on Sabbath dsy.-PhiLGdel-
