The CoAcHMAN VINO MARRIED HIS I'm

IHE CoACHMAN WHO MARRIED HIS I'M
PLoyER's DAUGHTER The New York
Times of Saturday has the following in
relation to the late secret marriage be-
tween the daughter of Mr.. Boxer, a
wealthy merchant of that city, and his
coachman:
Young Dean, the lucky coachman, has
finally agreed to give up his wife for a
time, and accept the pecuniary offers of
her friends. Yesterday his counsel re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Boxers lawyer
proposing that Dean should go into bust
ness in one of the Western citiesr-capi-
tai being provided by Mr.. Boker--and
that he should consent to be separated
from his wife for the period of six months,
, correspondence between them being al
lowed during that time. Deani is willing
to accept the proposition, and thus the
subject is disposed of for the present, at
least. I...t.t go 49,.
! The Rev. Mr.. Hatfield, who performed
the marriage ceremony, describes Mr..
Dean as of prepossessing appearance,
gentlemanly address, and with nothing
about him to show that he was of Irish
origin but the slightest possible brogue.
Mr.. Dean called at his house on Thurs
day, the oath of last February, and in
quired if Mr.. Hatfield would, on the fol-
lowing Saturday, tie the marriage knot
for him. Mr.. Ii. assented On Satur-
day Mr.. Dean presented himself and said
his intended bride, who was engaged as
servant in a gentleman's family close by
had been unable to perfect her arrange
ments, and it was necessary to postpone
the marriage until the ensuing Tuesday
To this Mr.. II. agreed, appointing til,
time of day for the bridal party to cali
Tuesday came and the minister held him
self in readiness to perform the ceremony
but he waited and they did not appear
Towards evening, however, Dean fricnt
came to the house, and told the servan
that owing to the storm of the proceed
ing day, the young lady had been unabl,
to finish up her household duties, and a
she wanted to remain in her place some
time longer she did not wish her mar
riage known, but that they would com,
the next day.
| Wednesday morning came, the couple
also, and their two witnesses with them
Miss. Boxer was dressed as became hel
assumed station, not in silk and hoops,
nor sparkling with diamonds. Mr.. Deal
was neatly attired, and acted like we'll
bred gentleman. As the day was muddy
and NJ. parlors had but lately been fur.
nished with a new carpet, it was deemed
prudent that the ceremony should be per.
formed in the basement, which was
cozy enough place, and there the mar.
riage took place. a ao- ta
At its conclusion Dean took from his
purse roll Of bills, from which dctach-
ing V, he delicately passed it over,
politely inquiring if that would satisfy
the clergyman. Mr.. II. bowed an afiir-
native, and the happy party left. Mr.. II.
remarking to his wife that the lady had
evidently the best of that bargain. He
thought no more of the matter till his
attention was called to it on Tuesday last
from the statement in the papers, when
he found that instead, as he had supposed
of making poor servant girl happy, he
had probably made a wealthy family mis-
cradle.

Young America Excelsior.

Young America Excelsior.
NHE attention of the Farmers of
IL Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILF for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal--Horse feed gem
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
II is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use OF ground
food because OF its more easy and complete
digestion.
II is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
nj less cost by the use of food so prepared.
But while these principles OF true economy are
so generally understood, many have been I'M
willing to proc 'e suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive co Neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before

In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ

Mill. The Grinding Plates, (thc only parts
that wear out being two detached rings, cast
separate from the main and expensive parts Of
the Mill, each bolted on with three small bolts
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at cost OF only %.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
In use, that the regulating Of the 1eneness of
grinding ia done by simply turning onacentral

sround as in other mills, is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rear end
of the sweet as a balance. q
Wherever the Young America Excelsior ha
been introduced it has superseded all others OF
the kind.
This mill will grind from 3 to 20 bushels per
hour according to 6neness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses. q

ANDRES CAPTURE AND IMPRISONMENT
We find in ''Goodrich's Recollecticns Of
a Lifetime" the following interesting
Renaissance in a letter writer by Gen.
Joshua King. 1t is dated June IA, 1917,
and speaks as follows of the capture Of
Major Andre:
+" was the first and only officer who
had charge of him whilst at the head
quarters of the second regiment light
dragons, which was then at Esquire
Gilbert's, South Salem, Westminster
county, New York. He was brought up
by an adjutant and four men belonging
to the Connecticut militia, under COM
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Jameson. L.
lie was on the lines in character under
the disguised name of John Anderson
he looked somewhat like a reduced gen
tleman; his snall-clothes we're nankeen
with handsome white-top boots; in part
his dress was military, his coat purple.
with gold lace, worn somewhat thread
bare he wore a small brimmed, tarnish-
ished beaver ON his head; he wore his
hair in queue with long black band,
and his clothes were somewhat dusty.
In this garb | took charge of him to
breakfast. My barber came to dress
me, after which l requested him to ur-
dergo the same operation, which be did.
When the ribbon was taken from his
hair, l observed fall of powder; this
circumstance, with others that occurred,
induced me to believe that / had no or
binary person in charge. He requested
permission to take to the bed while his
shirt and small-clothcs could be washed
| told him il was needless, for a change
was at his service, which he accepted. =
We were close pent up in bedroom,
with sentinel at the door and window
there was spacious yard before the door
which he desired he might be permitted
to walk IL With nc l accordingly dis
posed Of my guard in such manner as tc
prevent an escape, and while walking
together he observed that he must make
AZ confident Of somebody, and he knew
not more proper person than myself, as
| had offered to befriend stranger in
distress. After settling the point be-
tween ourselves, he told me who he was,
and gave me short account of himself
from the time he was taken at St. Johns,
in 1775, to that time. He requested
pen and ink, and wrote Immediately to
General Washington. declaring who he
was. About midnight the express re-
turned, with orders from General Wash
ington to Colonel Sheldon, TO send Major
Andre Immediately to headquarters. |
started with him, and before / got to

a recapturc, which order was complied

Shoe Factories have been, and are now
filed with busy workmcn, pursuing the
different branches Of their trade, and we
learn that the business operations Of Mr..
Somcs, which so far rs il relates to his
shoe business is concerned, has not been
disturbed by the general embarrass-
mcnts OF the Times, will he carried on
with more than their usual yigor. and
that he will enlarge rather than reduce
this department Of his business. His
Reed and Loom Harness business has
been somewhat checked by the dcprcs-
sion Of manufact uring, but We learn that
the revival of manufactures has already
affected this part of his business favor
ably, and that he has orders to fulfil, which
will be sufficient to insure the old activity
in these branches ofhis business. Somcs-
vile, under his enterprise, is live village,
and promises to become the busiest place
in our vicinity. The advantages which
it possesses for the successful pursuit Of
mechanical trades, added to the beau ty
and hcaltlfulncss Of its location, cannot
fail to attract the public attention. 1t
will be seen that Mr.. Somcs offers for

hardly be said in favor of these lots,
whether it regards the beauty, conven.
icncc, or health Of their location.
