The New York correspondent Of the
Albany Argus give the following;
A romantic affair occurred in Brook
lYn short time ago. A handsome Or
phan work girl, Mary Elizabeth B., lived
comfortably on the fruit of her honest
labor, and had for some months been
courted by young man, a journeyman
halter. One day the young girl said to
him; Albert you have been pressing
me to marry you for three monts, and l
have postponed the marriage. Now,
however, will no longer delay it. A
rich lawyer has offered me $1,000, g
month if would consent to be a dis
honest woman and has promised that I
should have splendid apartments on
Fifth avenue. There is my hand-marry
me directly" The lover, highly indig-
nant at the attorney and counsellor,
was too glad to obey the direction. The
marriage took place at the residence of
the bride. The evening before the we'd
ding, however, the bride groom told
Mary Elizabeth that he had a secret to
tell. He was not journeyman halter,
but was one Of the richest men in the
city Of Boston, and said he would take
her the next day to the beautiful country
seat in the suburbs OF the modern Ath-
ems, which he had inherited from his
father and mother, for he indeed was an
orphan like his bride, his Mary Elizabeth.
The young lover, it appears, saw Emma
a few months ago at Barnum's Museum
at the Wednesday afternoon matinee,
and fell in love with her at first sight,
and while she was gazing at the happy
family, consisting of cats, rats, dogs,
mice and monkeys, all confined in one
cage.
She lived IN an attic, and he had taken
a room in the upper story of the same
house to be near her. Thus he could
see her every day, and mutual passion
soon sprung up between them. On the
Dist of next month the happy couple
sail in the Arago for Havre, and after
spending the honeymoon and the winter
abroad, they will return to their own
native land in the spring time Of the
coming year.

An Old Printer with "a Curious His
tory.

A printer named Thomas O'Flanagan,
has Just died in Dublin, at the age of
80, whose career was interesting. He was
actively employed as compositor up to
within few hours of his death, on the
Nation newspaper. Seventy years ago
he was a jOurneyman printer on the
Press, then the organ of the OMITTED
Irishmen" and used to boast that he had,
with his own hands, "set up the manu-
script of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. o.
Flanagan at that time, as @ sworn
brother, was one of the armed body
guard of the Geraldine, and took part in
an encounter with Maj. SIR and his
force in the neghborhood of Thomas
street, Dublin. On subsequent occa-
sion he saved Maj Sirr's life, when one
OF the disafected was abont to fire upon
him from a window, by striking the
pistol out Of the mans hand. O'Flana-
gan spent subsequent part of his life
in London, and filed responsible posi-
tion as chief printer on the staff of the
Morning Chronicle in its best days. AS
he had been acquainted with Lord Ed
ward Fitzgerald Napper Tandy, Arthur
OConnor and Emmet during one Irish
crisis, so he was at latter period, in
1848, familiarity known to Gavan Duffy,
Thomas Davis and John Mitchell, as
one of the Nation stat, In 1848 he was
arrested, along with others employed
upon the paper when it was seized, on
the eve of the Ballingarry fight, after
the suspension of the habeas corpus act,
but detained in prison for but a few
days, there being no charge against him
or his fellow printers of completely in
the ins1r-ection. When, shortly after
ward, an entertainment was given by his
colleagues to celebrate his fiftieth ami
versary as a journeyman printer, it was
not supposed that he would retain his
physical and mental powers, and be able
to earn his daily bread, as he did, for 20
years longer.

Local and state Items.

A BLOODY" Rowan affray oc-
Cured in the lower part of the town on
Saturday evS.ing, which created con-
siderable excitement in our village for
some time, it being currently reported
that one of the participants had died
from the effects Of injuries received
therein. The fight occurred at the habi-
tation of One Richard Johnson, who has
for many years had the reputation of
keeping a diSorderly house. At this
house woman named Mary Ann Sulli-
van, a maiden lady Of reputed loose
character, has been stopping, and to
Mary Ann a couple of fellows named
william Valliquette and Frank Morse
man, both noted characters, have Of late
been paying their addresses, and on Sat
urday last they were both there for that
purpose. Valliquette being engaged
with Mary Ann, Morseman concluded to
pay his addresses to Mrs. Johnson, and
while so doing Mr.. Johnson entered the
house and disliking to see the partner of
his bosom receiving attentions at an
others hands, commenced an attack on
Norseman by sezing a club aud knock
ing him down. Valliquette, who was in
an adjoining room, went into the apart
ment occupied by Morseman and John
son, and seeing NJ. down, commenced
kicking and pounding him, which he
continued to do until the interference of
some of the employees Of the Rutland
and Washington Railroad machine shop
compelled him to desist; and it is
thought but for this interference Vail
quette would have killed Morseman, as
he had already pounded his head and
face to almost jelly. Oflcer Crawford
interfered at this junCture, and con-
veyed Valiq MoTseman, Johnson
and Mary Ann to Jail, where they now
are awaiting examination.

JOHN A. KAssoN.-This rather noto-
rious son of Vermont, and late Con-
gressman from Iowa, who has recently
been heralded by copperhead sheets as
supporter of bread-and- as annun-
ciated at the Philadelphia Convention
No. l, was announced to speak at Des
Moines, Iowa, on the I'd inst, and ''my
policy" men flocked to hear him in large
numbers hoping to gain some crumbs
of comfort from his speech. What
"crumbs" they got on that occasion may
be inferred from the following extract
from his remarks, as given by cores
pondent of the Associated Press:
- Mr.. Kasson recited briefly the diplo-
matte efforts that had been made to avert
war, and the labors of President Lin
coin to arrest the shedding of blood and
to put an end to destructive battles.
But all these efforts to procure peace
failed everything failed but war. At
ter everything else failed the rebels were
subjueatad by force of arms. But I
think hear Democratic friend say !:
II thought you claimed it was not your
object to Subugate them 2" True; but
when everything else failed we had the
right to overthrow this hostile dynasty,
and we were determined to accomplish
1t, and we did it. TCheers. Notwith-
standing the diplomacy Of that patient,
noble, pure hearted, honest statesman
and patriot Abraham Lincoln, lap
plause, Notwithstanding all the mag
unanimous propositions made to them,
they trampled them in the dust, they
Knocked us, they derided u.s. and we were
forced to subjugate them, and, thank
God, we did subjugate them. TAp-
plause. After the downfall of the Con-
federacy-after crushing and subu-
eating this hostile dynasty, what was
the condition these States were left in d?
If we consult Second Blacks Reports,
we will there find that it is held that
this was civil war; that we had the
right to consider the rebels as enemies :;
that in the final adjustment we are pos
sessed of all the privileges that we would
have had, had this war been between
two independent foreign governments.
Mr.. Kasson closed by
eNhOrClnS Cne people 10 stanu Dy the
principles of human liberty and human
progress, to contend for the rights
of all men, whether white or black. He
desired to make himself clearly under
stood, to defend his position, and if he
had not done so let questions be pro-
pounded to him now, and let him not be
suspicioned hereafter-and closed by re-
peating that he believed it to be the duty
of the people to stand by the Constitu-
tionaI Amendments until they became
the law of the land; to stand by the Or
ganization which contains in it and rep
resents the principles of human liberty,
human progress, and the equal rights OF
all men.

RUTLAND, VI, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER IL,

ANEcDoTB OF QRRN VIcToRIA.
London correspondent of the Presbyte-
rian tells the following anecdote of the
Queen OF England;
Prince Albert was q kind, prudent
and afftctionate husband But his pros
poets were on q raZor's edge at one time.
About a year and half after their mar
riage, Albert became very fond of play
ing cards, and stalking sums Of money
on the result. Victoria demonstrated at
his folly and prodigality, but in vain. At
length, one day, when number Of no.
blemen hungry, and Of the genus land
shark, had Prince Albert at table, Vic
toria sent a polite message for her hus-
band to come to her room. The Prince
paid no attention to the request. A
more urgent desire was answered-"Beg
the Queen to excuse me q short time,
and / will be there" A third time an
officer came, with-"The Queen of Eng
land requires the presence of Prince AL
bert" Instantly he FASTENED to obey.
For not subject, however exalted his
rank, dare to disobey such q summons,
without being guilty of treason.
When her eldest son married, and had
been several weeks on the continent, he
sent letter, saying that he expected to
be home in few days, and requested
that he might have a room. She wrote
back that when she desired him to visit
Windsor Palace she would send for him.
He, nor any one else in the realm, dare
not disobey such an injunction.

THE NATIONAL DEBT-Secretary Nc
CulIough has given to the public ano:h-
er most encouraging exhibit of the ma
tional indebtedness. The details show a
net liquidation of SO $40 226 during the
month of September; Of S)695l ,425
since June /, 1866 and Of Sl84, ,9l6 834
since August l, 1865, when the debt was
largest. The net Indebtedness of the
country Aug. 1868, was S2,757 ,253 276;
Oct. l, 1866, was $2,578. 1856, ,9l2; net
liquidation in fourteen months, $780,
9l6.334.
Thus it appears that the debt has been
Cancelled at the monthly rate of over
thirteen millions since Aug, l, 1865. 1t
is quite confidently anticipated that
this rate of liquidation can be easily
maintained until the public burdens
shall have been reduced to moderate pro-
portions, and until the legal privileges
OF premature redemption of the inter
est bearing bonds and notes shall have
been exhausted Though the summer
and early autumn Of the current year,
the progress Of liquidation has been very
rapid, having averaged over twenty four
millions a month.

THE CHAMPION TELEGRAPH MATCH
A third match for the telegraph sending
championship Of New York and New
England, between Messrs. P. H. Burns
of Worcester and W. f. Kettles OF Fall
River, took place at four O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, on the Western Union
Company's lines from New York to Bos-
ton-Mr. Kettles working from the
former, and the champion from his own
city.
Since the last trial between these two
gentlemen, the interest of the public at
large in these matches, and OF telegraph
ers especially, has been largely aug
mented, so much so, in fact, that cOnsid-
erable sums are known to have changed
hands on the result.
The two hundred and fifty words ap-
pointed to be sent, were fixed upon only
Yesterday morning. allowing little or no
chance for practice otherwise, the rate
of speed would have been higher; but
as it was, the time made probably equals
the best on record.
Mr.. Kettles led, and, as on former
occasion, was interrupted in his first es-
say. At the conclusion of his second
aud more successful attempt the time
was announced as six minutes twenty
one seconds.
Mr.. Burns followed, completing his
task IN six minutes seven seconds. BY
two Of three judges the champions
writing was considered palmer and bet,
ter than his opponents, while their col
league favored MIR. Kettles in these res
poets. They were united however, in
the opinion that the display on either
side was every way better than any pre-
vious oee that had come within their ex-
perienCe Mr.. Burns was adjudged vic
tor, and as such is to retain the cham
pion key until better man presents
! himself.
In order that the non telegrapng pub
lie may the better appreciate the skill
displayed, as above recorded, it may be
well to say that the $50 words trans
mitted in 367 seconds contained 1l56
letters, or more than three to be sent per
second. To form these letters it was
necessary to make 1892 down strokes OF
graduated length, with the key, and as
many up strokes. In every second,
therefore, Mr.. Burns performed a trifle
over IA distinct motions of his hand.
The punctuation marks are not taken
into this calculation, although they were
introduced by each contestant.
When we consider that in writing in
the Morse alphabet well defined space
or pause must be made, not only be.
tween the words but also between the
letters, and even in some of the letters
themselves, all of which is so much
time lost the rapidity of Mr.. Burns
manipulation partakes of the marvel
lous.
It is thought improbable that Mr.
Kettles will again appear as a contest
ant for the championship, at least foI
the present. Other aspirants may, how
ever, present themselves.
1t is rumored that already negotis
tions are making for match betweel

D section and Southern operator of som

"BEuARE OF TIE VIDDRRs. "A wild
ow of forty-three summers, and the
mother of four children, two of whom
are married, lately sued a gay deceiver
for breach of promise. The "deceiver"
is an old man of seventy-six, the father
of nine children, and the possessor of
two farms. The parties live in Warren
county, Ohio. This aged lover gave the
fat and forty, if not fair, widow several
rides in his buggy, to church and other
places, and told the lady that he might
conclude to marry some day, and if he
did, he thought she would be a good
woman. Upon this hint she acted; pur-
chasing wedding dress and consulting
a few particular female friends in regard
to the wedding cake. At this stage,
however, the old man craw- flshed-de-
clined to fulfill the engagement-fatly
denied that he ever intended to marry
the lady. To heal her lacerated feelings
she brought suit against the 'perfidious
old wretch" and received 1866, which
made her happy.

fusal of civil rights. The blacks have
fought for US, have died for US. They

right Of suffrage, the right of partici-
pating in the privileges they have aided

KILLED BY FIGHTLNG. - Last Tues
day, two Frenchmen, father and son,
were wooding up an engine at Sher-
brooke, when difficulty took place, and
finally the dispute took the form of
throwing wood at each other. This
lasted but few minutes, when the par
ties rushed out of the shed and began
throwing stones. AS the father was in
the act of picking up stone, the SON
struck him in the back with a stone,
which put an end to the contest. The
father went and leaned against the en-
gine, and in two minutes dropped down
dead.
