deavored to lead the democracy into the mud

A Curions Love STORY.

Says the Easton Argus:-First love,
the world generally admits, is always
the most sincere. An instance illus
trating the truth of this, recently came
to our knowledge, which is worth re-
peating. Forty-fve years ago young
man, named Peterson, served his ap-
premiership at the printing business,
in the office of Christian Jacob Hut
ter, of this place. Whilst in his en-
ploy he became interested in young
lady Of our town, and proposed mar
riage. He was accepted, but the
mother of the girl opposed the match
and broke it of. After finishing his
trade he went to one of the Southern
States, and married q sister of Hon.
John NJ. Clayton, former United
States Senator from Delaware. After
having two children, his wife died and
left him a widower. He then emigra-
ted to Canada West, where he became
quite a wealthy and prominent man,
and filed the office Of County Record
er, life appointment, at Guelph.
There he married second time, and
became a second time widower.
Last summer he passed through
Easton, on his road to Wilmington,
where his daughter was at school. and
whilst here made inquiry after the
sweetheart Of his younger days. AS
certaining that she was widow, and
residing in Philadelphia, he called
upon her, renewed his acquaintance
and after more than forty years sepa-
ration. again proposed marriage tc
her, and was accepted. lie was tc
