the death of George l.. Slocomb, of that
city. He has been in the employ of
the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad, as

over the body until death ended his

ROMANCE IN REAL LlFE.-The fol.
lowing incident in the lite Of the grand.
father ofthe late Governor Caleb Strong,
of Massachusetts, is quite romantic:
"He had paid some attention to Mary
daughter Of Capt. John) Sheldon, OF
DeerfeId, Mass, and there was love, but
no engagement, between them. On the
fatal goth of February. 1904, she was
taken prisoner by the French and Indi-
aus and carried to Canada, where she re-
manned two or three years. 1t is stated
that the first question she asked OF those
who came to redeem her whether Jona-
than Strong was married. He was
married-her return being considered
very uncertain. After her return she
also married. But in l76l her hus band
and Strong's wife both died and these
aged persons-he in his sOth year, and
she in her 76th-renewed their attach
ment, after lapse Of So years, and we're
married in 1862" Sylvester Judd,
Esq, of Northampton, says that a third
Of a century ago people were living in
Northampton who had seen the venera
bic couple ride through the streets OF
that town, she on pillion behind her
