ceived the tender passion for young man
who resided in a neighboring city, resolved
TO visit him, as his business was such that he

ents objected, as they did not approve of the
individual in question as son in law bat
she woman-like said she would go at any
rate. Finally, her parents seeing nothing
could be done with her, told her brother to
take her toward the nearest railway station,
get her little quieted, and then turn about
and go back. The young man obeyed the
parental injunction, and when they reached
piece Of woods q mile or so from the house,
he being afraid to trust her any further from
hume, turned around to 60 back. This
would't do; she was going to the place she
started for, as he persisted in obeying
orders, she jumped eutpulled her trunk from
the wagon, and sat down on it, declaring that
she would await for the stage-go back she
wouldn't Her brother, finding remonstranoe
Of no avail proceeded homeward, in accord
ance with his instructions, and she after
waiting two or three hours in the cold and
nearly freezing took the stage and went on
her way rejoicing

reasons; it is quite enough to say that the

one could object has been removed, and we
hope that this week proper degree of interest
will be manifested in the matter. The object

will receive real beneth during the week -
Let the good citizens of Dayton patronze the
