From the Philadelphia Nor h Amreica


We yesterday saw at the post-Ofiice pipe neatly
folded under a copy OF a religious paper-so nicely
that ordinary touch would have failed to detect
it, while another paper contained a number of mi.
mute phias filled with homeopathic pituies. Ladies
often send yards of silk and other dry goods, and
patterns of all kinds for making articles Of clothing
but ninetenths of all stopped and coniiscatcd.
Gloves, collars, cravats, fringe and light articles of
almost every kind are almost daily taken from news
papers by the people who handle them at the post
Office. Could the senders of this contraband be dis
covered a severe lesson in the shape of prosecu-
ton would be the result. In tho case Of newspa-
pers, however. there is clue to the identity of
the sender, and the thing cannot be done.
People are not all aware that glass bottles of any
kind are not received by the mails An odd coec-
ton of phials, apparently containing medicine, in
wrappers duly covered with postage stamps, are to
be at the post office in verication of this fact.
The bottles may contain harmless mattar but as an
exception might ruin entire mail all glass is pro.
hibted from transmission.
The postmaster has box full of gold and silver
coin, found in the letter baskets into which the let
tiers are dropped by depositors. The coin has slid
from the envelopes, and the losers in all probability
have mathematical post-oiiice people in general
for supposed dishonesty. When we consider the
amount OF careessness exercised in correspondence
and in writing the addresses Of letters, marvel
that the p0s-olice system can rectifv as many
blunders as it does. When attempted knavery is
added to carelessness however, the postmaster very
naturally feels indignant.

MISCELLANEOUS,
a Bit of Romance.

Among the many condolences brought
about by this war, we relate the following
Mr.. John Stewart, Tyrone city, young
man about Is or 20 years of age, and a
member Of Capt. Jones Tyrone Company,
which belongs to the Juniata Regiment,
and which was encamped in Camp Cros-
man, met a Miss Drennon, Of this place,
for the first time on Wednesday evening
last, and it appears that they both loved
at first sight perhaps not wisely, but too
we'll for between y and l o'clock on
Thursday night, they went to find the
Chaplain of the regiment to marry them,
but failing to find him at that hour, moth
ing daunted, nor yet the least discouraged,
but woiully disappointed, they gave it up
to renew their search for him at early dawn.
As the regiment was to leave in the morn
ing there was no time to be lost, and at an
early hour they were on the look out for
the chaplain, but did not succeed in find
ing him until short time before the trains
started, when they repaired to the Penna
Central station house, and were then and
there united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony. Their honeymoon was of short but
sweet duration, for they had but a few
minutes to chat together, when he was or
dercd to jump aboard. With few fond
and affectionate embraces, such as only
newly married couple know how to do up
to perfection, and the shedding of tears on
both sides, which flowed copiously and
without restraint, he was gone He to re-
new his pledge to his Country, in some
new field Of action, and she to her tempo
raTy place of residence, to mourn over the
departure of her husband of but an hour.
A bride for an hour, and widow, per-
haps, the balance of her days. We are
told that Miss Drennon, (now Mrs. Stew
art) is lady of unimpeachable character,
and her friends are very much astonished
at her conduct in this affair She has not
been acquainted with her husband ten days
yet, but to every intent and purpose, is al
read y widow. Such is life Inthis case
we are reminded very forcibly of the old
axiom, Marry in haste and repent at leis-
ure.' Should he be so fortunate as to re-
turn to his wife after an eyentful clreer
with the rebels, we wish them all the feic-
ity and joys of this life, for he has certain
ly shown his undying devotion to the I'm
ion.-Huntingdon Globe.
