A Spicy ArFAIR.-A select party, consisting of
a man, his wife, and young male friend, recently
left Fall River, Mass, for Troy, N. Y. The hus-
band had creditors whom it was desirable to de-
eeive concerning the right of property in sending
large trunks; so they were checked in the name
of the young man. The three arrived safely at
Troy, but the wife and friend pursued their jour
ney further toward the West. Not to put too fine
point on it, they eloped leaving the husband be-
hind. They left the baggage, too, and so far, all
was well; but, trying to obtain possession of
the trunks, the man was met with the objection
that they did not belong to him. So the poisoned
chalice intended for his creditors returned to his
own lips. The deserted husband proposes to ad-
vertise that the young man mey keep the wife il
he will send power of attorney for the baggage.

AN ANCIENT RELIc-The Martyrs Bible.-The

H. Hildreth, contains the following account Of an
ancient Bible, probably the Oldest in the State:
At the house Of Mr.. Thomas Carter had the
pleasure of examining Bible printed by John
uarwood as early as the year 1913. Mr.. Carter is
This Bible is really ancient and Interesting book,
being printed in the old English black letter, with
illuminated capitals, and the spelling of bygone
day. It has often been lent by Mr.. Carter. The
kept it three years, and the Rev. Robt. G. Water
ston, of Boston, having borrowed it likewise. The
most interesting associations, however, connected
with it is the fact that it belonged to the martyr
| Rogers himself. That it was the good book which
| he perused, and from which he drew strength to
support him in his time of trouble, and the marks
OF fire are even shown upon it, where iti supposed
that he carried it to the stake with him. and only
handed it to his family after the flames had been
| kinded by which he suffered. -
