A Xeritahle ROMANCE.

From the Rochester IN. r. Democrat May 30
Ia the Democrat of yesterday morning
appeared the following notice:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES this city, on
bridge, esq of Hamilton Parish, Bermuda, and
member of the Colonial Parliament and Miss
Mary Il Everest, of Rochester.
There is little romance connected with
this marriage, which, as it is not to the
discredit of any of the parties concerned
we will relate. The bridegroom, as is
truly stated, is member of the Colonial
Parliament in Bermuda, and gentleman
of wealth and high social standing. The
bride Is an accomplished young lady of
considerable personal attractions. Some
months since young lady, who is an in
Innate friend of the bride, went to Ber-
muda, where she was employed as gov
erness in the family of brother
of Mr.. Outerbridge. Naturally the
latter made her acquaintance, and
in the course of his converse with
the governess frequently heard of
Miss Everest, and in such manner that he
became interested in her. AT length he de-
termined to open a correspondence with
her if possible, and, through the interces-
sion of the mutual friend, succeeded In do
ing so. Photographs were exchanged
which, as well as the correspondence,
proved satisfactory to both parties. And
so the course of true love for once ran
smoothly enough.
A week ago last thursday Miss Everest
received dispatch from New York an
nouncing that Mr.. Outerbridge was in that
city, and would be in Rochester at 4 80 p.
NJ. on Friday. She went to meet him at the
appointed hour, and the pair met for the
first time. Each recognized the other with
out difficulty, and the two walked in COM
pany to the lady's residence, where Mr..
Outerbridge was made welcome, and where
the subsequent acts of this little drama were
enacted.

FIRE CONPANY.-Witin the past few months
we might aay weeks, Brandon, Vicksburg Jackson
Grenada, Lexington, Summit and Crystal Springs
have all been visited by Tres, some of them amount
ing to terrible and appalling CONGREGATIONS, involv.
ing loss of life as well as property! The frequency
aud destructveuess of these fires it seems to US,
should admonish our citizens of the necessity of
making some preparations to combat and subdue
the dreadful and consuming element, should we be
visited by 80 great calamity. Canton has hereto.
fore been most fortunate in respect to fires hut we
have no special immunity in this regard and should
not presume upon what, SO far, has been mere
good fortune. Can Canton always expect to escape
u visit from the devourng element? Indeed we
have not entirely escaped 80 far. The FIRE at Mrs.
Bass. last summer, was formid lble one and but
for the almost superhuman exertions of the citi.
zens, would have destroyed her residence. The
residence of Col. Shackeford was only saved a few
week ago, by similar Hercuean efforts. We're a
fire to break out in any one Of the wooden tene.
ments on our public square, In all probability 1t
could only be arrested after the complete destruc-
ton Of at least one side of the square. The great
majority of the buildings are of pine, many of
them old, aud combustble as finder. Our citi.
zens who were here at the time will not forget the
rapidly with which the North side of our public
square was consumed on the first visit of the Yam
KEGS to this place in July 1868. III. whole square
in ashes in an incredible short space OF time.
But enough by way Of preface to our suggestion,
which is this that our citizens without further
delay, form FIRE company, and that subscripti,
papers be circulated by some two or three energetic
individuals to raise funds to purchase fire engine.
Certainly there is public spirit enough in Canton
to form one fire company, and prudence and
spirit of selfpreservation enough among property.
holders, and the community generally, to contribute
q sufficient amount to purchase one good engine.
Let some Of our energetic citizens take hold Of |
this work and put it through. Let not an enter |
prise " Of such e" pith and moment - be longer de.
ferred and neglected, to the great detriment ulti
mately, of the whole community--for what is one |
mans interest in u community is the interest of
every one, in greater or lesser degree.
We would respectfully suggest that a public
meeting of the citizens be called, to assemble some
srenng in the week (as this would be the best time
to full attendance), at which this su hject
shall be considered. It can thus be ascertaned
how much public spirit there is among our people,
and what degree Of interest is felt in the matter
There is wisdom in a multitude Of counsellors, and
In cooperation there is strength. There must be
beginning, or nothing will ever be accomplished
Who will take holdl Nous rsrrOns.
