A HOrse-Car Romance.

The Troy On. W Times tells the follow
ing romantic story:
" Some FIVE or six months ago. q gentle
man from New York came to this city on
business connected with his firm On
hne summers evening, he found himself
possessed of day of leisure. His bust
ness accomplished, his passage and state
room secured by the evening boat for
New York, the question arose as to the
manner in which he should fill up the
day. The landlord of the hotel where he
was guest suggested trip over one of
the horse railroads leading out of the city,
as giving him view of pleasing and va
RED scenery, and of busy and thriving
village. On this hint he acted. As the
car moved on, young lady of modest
mien and attractive person quietly entered
and occupied q seat by the New York gen.
tleman's side. His attention was arrested,
his interest excited, his fancy pleased. In
short, 1t was case of love at first sight,
so far as he was concerned. But how was
he to make her acquaintance
Finally, he noticed that the lady seemed
somewhat annoyed by the wind, rather
chilly for the season, blowing through an
open window at her back. He proposed
to close it, to which she assented with
thanks. 1T is the first step which counts
says the proverb and the closing of the
window was in the first STEP From this
the way was led to general conversation
In which both seemed quite interested.
When the lady had left the car the gentle
man ascertained from the conductor her
name and residence. He then furnished
the conductor with his card, giving his
name and address, and requested him as
special favor to call at the residence of the
lady and ascertain whether q visit from
him would be permitted. This the con-
ductor, who knew the family, agreed to do
The lady at first said no, as ladies are
apt to do under similar circumstances, but
upon further reflection, and recalling the
fact that the applicant was gentleman in
appearance, and agreeable in manner, and
that neither harm nor danger need necessa-
rlly follow the interview, the request was
finally granted.
"In the meantime, telegram informed
the New York firm that their associate

would be detained in Troy day or two
longer than was anticipated. In accord
ance with the permission given. the eve
ming found him on his way to make the
promised visit The first impression was
strengthened upon further acquaintance.
ana the interest soon became mutual The
gentleman gave references of the most un-
doubted responsibility, as to his Character
and position, and the result was a nro-
posed marriage and acceptance"

The Legislature,

We direct the attention OF our readers
TO the proceedings of the Legislature in
to-days paper They will be found OF more
than ordinary interest.
The repeal of the Stay Law, rs recon-
mended by Governor Holden, seems to
have received its Quietus in the House by
q most decided vote. One thing is remark
able that, with but one or two exceptions,
the negroes of the body voted in favor Of
the repeal. We should like 10 be able to
give the personal status Of the others.
Interesting matters were developed IN
the debate upon Gel. Sinclair's resolution
to paw certain Trustees of the University
De,. diem and mileage while attending
meetings Of the Board. Those patriots
have destroyed this, the noblest institution

over it, wasted usefulness is but empty

The most important feature of the pro-

of Mai. AVERY, the Senator elect from the
Burke District. resulting in his scat being
declared vacant. Party trickery and de-
pravity were never SO glaringly displayed.
The debate and tho illegal action evinces
that these partisans have wholesome fear
of the talented young Senator. AS evidence
of the total incapacity of The negro as a
legislator, the position taken by Galloway,
from this county, shows. Galloway is one
OF the most, if not the most, intelligent
colored member of the Legislature. Yet

Much interest is felt in the proceedings
of the convention, as it's business is of a
very important character. 4 new diocese
is to be formed, q bishop to be elected,
and his residence to be decided upon
On Thursday a vote was taken upon the
name of the diocese, when it was declared
unanimously to be called the ''Easton

We learn that Easton has subscribed four
teen thousand dollars as portion of the
forty thousand dollars for the bishop ssalary,
which exceeds that of any other section. -
This. the name of the diocese, and all, 60
to show very strong probability that Eas-

Friday afternoon five votes wero taken,
four by the clergy and one by the laity.-
On the fourth vote the clergy elected

fourteen, over the Rev. Mr.. Pinkney. The
