Warrington Irvir g,s First Inv,

when young he became intimately acquainted
with daughter of one Of the Knickerbockers
OF the time, sturdy in family wealth. With the
young lady he pressed his suit successfully:
and In time the father might have succumbed,
despite the fact that he regarded the resources
with which Irving proposed to support wife
too slender to maintain that style Of luxury to
which his daughter had been accustomed. In
an evil hour, rs it seemed, DR. Creighton, a
minister of the Presbyterian Church, despite
his Scottish parentage, fell in with the gentle
man whom Irving was desirous to make his
father-in-law. The clergyman's eyes were
dazzled by the beauty of the same young lady
who had won the heart of the aspiring author.
and the eyes of the father had blinded to ali
other considerations by the wealth which DR..
Creighton offered, together with his heart
Time and persistency pushed Irving from the
scene, and the girl, Obedient to her father 8
urgent entreaties, gave his preference the pre-
cedence of her own. But the saddest part of
the story remains to be told. When the uues-
| tion of the marriage portion was under consid-
Grafton, the father stated that the family had
| been tainted with insanity; and to guard
against the evils of harsh treatment, should his
daughter be afflicted with the same malady.
insisted that certain sum should be set aside,
which, in the event of such calamity. should
be devoted to her maintenance on her estate
on the banks of the Hudson. and that in no
| event should she be removed from the mansion
there.
The terms the ardent suitor, hoping for the
best; complied with. 1t may have been the
result OF hereditary disease. or of the effort to
crush out and kill her young hopes, but not
many years elapsed before the young wife was
raving maniac. She became so violent that
confinement was rendered necessary, and the
tamlly mansion was converted into an asylum,
Dr. Creighton building another house on a dis
tant part of the estate. The unfortunate woman
Is still living. and on quiet nights her shrieks
may be heard shrilling along the banks of tt Q
river-almost audible, too, at the secluded re.
treat which Irving occupied No heart but
his own knows how much the sad event may
have tinged his own life, or to what exertions
it may have urged him in attempting to drown
all remembrances of his disappointment Dr.
Creighton has for years oficiated at the humble
chapel where Irving worshipped-and singu-
lar enough, read the burial service for his for
mer rival. To those who were aware of these
mournful circumstances, the strange coinci.
dence must have been exceedingly painful.
There are but few portraits or busts of Mr.. Ir.
wing In existence, as he has, especially of late
years. persistently refused to place himself at

The THREE FIGHTING DEAcoNs OF GEAuGA.
In small neighborhood in Geauga county
lived three deacOns. The first is Methodist
the second Presbyterian, and the third a
Baptist: All live quite distance from their
respective meeting houses, and as the travel
irg is excessively bad at this time of year, they
concluded to hold meetings in the little red
school house in the neighborhood. The aues-
tion then arose which denomination should
hold the first meeting. The Methodist claimed
the privilege of opening the ball The Pres
byterian demanded it. The Baptist insisted
upon it. Here was "a fix"
They wrangled over the matter until the
dander OF each deacon arose to fever heat and
each vowed he would hold q meeting at the
red school-house the very next evening, which
happened to be Friday last and on that even
ing at early candle-light the school-house was
crowded with Methodists, Presbyterians, Bap-
fists, and several world people
The Presbyterian commenced reading cate
chlsm. The Baptist at the same time arose
and commenced reading tract on immersion
The Methodist at the same struck up an old
fashioned hymn, shouting it forth at the tor
OF his lungs. The effect was ludcrous II
apparently struck the mixed congregation So
tor they all commenced laughing. The Bap,
tlst was wheczy He sunk exhausted into his
seat, while the Presbyterian and Methodist
continued. All at once the righteousness OF
the scene struck the Baptist. and he INDUCED
in protracted horss-laugh. This displeased
the Presbyterian, and forgetting himself, he
dealt the Baptist a stunning blow under the
right ear. The Methodist threw his HYMN
book down and rushed to the Baptist's rescue
He arrived just in time to receive the Presby.
terian's iron fist between his eyes The Bap.
tist and Methodist rallied, and together at.
tackled the Presbyterian, but he was too much
for them. The scene that ensued bepears
description. Chairs were overturned Win.
dow glass was broken. Women shrieked Men
yelled We have no wish to make fun of an
affair which has caused profound regret among
the religious people of Geauga. We merely
relate the facts. The matter is in litigation
