sudden inspiration came upon me.
"Oh, lmogenel" said |, 81 wish you

We copy the following from the.
Springfield (Mass.) RepabLican Of
March 10: flti
The train from this city to Brat
tleboro, yesterday afternoon, was sig
nalized BY the marriage of a loving
couple, who, by a series Of mishaps,
were forced TO make use ofsuch time
andplacef eforthe consummationof their
long. desired union. The bridegroom
lives in Illinois, the bride at Whately,
and at her home the marriage should
have occurred on Monday evening".
but when the evening came no bride
groom or clergyman, came with it,
both being left over by the cars-the
one at Springfield and the other at
Northampton. The next morning,the
unhappy lover fastened to Whately
by the first cars, and as his stay in the
East was limited, twas finally agreed
to proceed to Bellows Falls the same
afternoon, be married there, and from
thence continue the journey for the
West and for life. AT the depot the
waiting pair met the delinquent pas
tor stepping from the very train they
we're to take, and without hesitation
it was decided that he should 60 on
with them and perform the ceremony
in the cars. This was done to the
eminent satisfaction OF the parties and
the great entertainment OF the other
passengers,
