The Bucyrus Journal, a paper published somewhere
in the far West, relates the following story
Near Norwich, Chenango county, New York, lived
two families OF well to do farmers, between whom
there existed bitter feud as ever ragged between
the MontagIes and Capulets. The heads OF the fam
lilies consumed the bulk of the time in annoying each
other and the children on both Sides with two excep-
tons, inherited their parents hatred and lost no OPP
portunty OF gratifying it,
These exceptions were the oldest son of the one,
and the second daughter Of the other who seeing
reason why they should hate each other in imitation
of their parents, became desperately enamored. The
parents soon discovered how matters Stood and Of
course were enraged. John and Mary were both
severely reprimanded, aud charged particularly to
think no more OF each other But who ever heard OF
such charge being obeyedl The more they were
told not to- they more they did. Seeing that easy
measures would not answer the parents Of John sent
him TO an uncle in this county. Marys progenltors
locked her up for week to keep her from following
him.
One night in November last, the whole family
Joined in reviling and abusing her. Not q word did
she say in reply but her ashy face and bOodess lips
showed that something WAS brewing. As soon the
family had RETIRED she put on her bonnet and shawl
aud going down from her room, noiseessly unlocked
the door, and walked out into the darkness. Half
crazed she had thought OF nothing but escape, and
had not provided herself with any necearies for the
long journey she had undertaken She knew where
John was and she determined to reach him. By day
light, she had achieved ten miles. At farmhouse
she procured breakfast and making inquiries set out
again. Day after day she travelled eating and sleep
ing at farm-hoEses. Occasionally, q charitable
WAGNER would carry her few miles, and then again
for days she was obliged TO walk.
Finally, completely worn out, she arrived OF her
destination. She found John, told him her troubles
and trials, and put herself under his protection.
John like a sensible man, posted TO Bucyrus got out
the papers, and married her ofhand. To end the
story fictitious ones are always concluded, they
should have gone back fallen their knees and i'm
pOred the forgiveness of their parents Bnt neither
Of them romantic. They felt that they had done
nothing to be forgiven for and had particular de-
sire to the faces OF those who had abused them.
So, instead OF going East they went West, and by
this time settled in Wisconsin.
SHRwREcKs.-SsverAl seamen, who were attached
to the schooner ss, OF Washington, n. c., reached
