ALMOST AN ACCIDENTAL narrow escape
from another serious railroad accident was
made on Monday afternoon, on the Phlladel-
phia, Wilmington. and Baltimore railroad.
The 4 o'clock p. NJ. express train from Phi!a-
delphia when beyond Northeast, Cecil county,
in rounding curve, came in contact with some
cattle standing upon the road, fortunately
throwing them off without leaving the track;
The train, which was going at very rapid
rate, ran some distance beyond the spot where
the collision occurred, aud on returning 1t was
found that three animals had been struck, two
of them killed aud one injured. They were
removed and the train, with its numerous
passengers, came on to Baltimore,
MARRIAGE OF A NoBLEMAN.-On Monday
afternoon Justice Dodge was called upon at
the Jefferson Market Police Court, New York,
to unite scion of one of the Oldest noble hous'
es of France with Miss Louise Fanny Arbltzer,
Of No. 80 West Houston street. The groom
gave his name, rank and pedigree as Leon Eu,
gene de St. Clair, third Baron dc Oney OF
France, son of Count Louis de St. Clair, and
his personal appearance did not invalidate these
lofty appellations. The marriage was solemn
lied in the plain way usual in police courts
when conducting such affairs, and the newly
welded pair lett the court room with all pos
sible speed.-N. !. Sun.

was spending the night in hotel in Free
port, Illinois. After breakfast / went into
the sitting room, where met pleasant,
chatty, good humored traveller, who, like my
self, was waiting for the morning train from
Galena. We conversed freely and pleasantly
on different topics, until seeing two young la
dies meet and kiss each other In the street
just about the time the train was approaching
the station. 17sfsp
"Come," said he, taking up his carpet bag,
"since we are on so sweet a subject, let us
have practical application. I'll make a
proposition to you. will agree to kiss the
most beautiful lady in the cars from Galena,
you being the judge il you will kiss the next
prettiest, being the judge"
This proposition staggered me a little and /
could hardly tell whether he was in earnest
or fun but as he would be as deeply In it as
1 could be, agreed, provided he would do
what when saw his jet black eyes fairly
dance with daring.

the back car, and 60 in from the front end
where you can see The faces of the ladies', and
stand by the one you think the handsomest,
and then will come in from behind and kiss
her"
had hardly stepped inside the cars when
] saw at the first glance one of the loveliest
looking women my eyes ever fell upon. A
beautiful blonde with auburn hair, and
bright sunny face full of love and sweetness,
and as radiant and glowing as the morning.
ANY further search was totally unnecessary.
Immediately took my stand in the aisle by
her side. She was looking out of the window
earnestly, as if expecting some one. The
back door of the car opened, and In stepped
my hotel friend. I pointed my finger at her,
little dreaming that he would dare carry out
his pledge, and you may imagine my horror
and Amusement when he stepped up quickly
behind her, and STOPPING over her, kissed her
with relish that made my "mouth water"
/ expected, of course, a shrek of terror, and a
row generally, followed by a knock-down; but
astoBishment succeeded establishment when

A NEW ORLEANS RoMANCE.--A very am
using little incident recently occurring in our
city is being whispered around by parties
seemingly well advised in the premises. 1t
appears that at one of our fashionable places
OF amusement last winter, very fascinating
and pretty soubrette had short engagement.
1t was sufficiently long, however, to complete
" enlist the admiration of a gentleman enga-
ged m commercial pursuits, and not great
while from northern latitude. BY some
means the parties became ACQUAINTED, and as
the days fed along, mutual sympathy mellow
ed into love. The lady, little coy at first,
finally lent listening ear to the entreaties Of
! her adorer, and after brief engagement they
were married OF course it is not the inten-
ton of the reporter to recite the rosy dreams,
Of the honeymoon how each adored the other
and happiness, radiant as poesy itself, bewitch-
ed the hours into visions of delight Weeks
sped along, and months had measured their
length on times dial. But at last circum-.
stance occurred which put an end to billing and
cooling, and revealed domestic imbroglio
not at all in harmony with the harmony that
preceded it. One day the husband entered
the wifes apartment with the declaration
that, deeply as he then regretted such an
event, they must part % /.

The lady was silent for a moment. and then
assuming her most bewitching smile. replied
My dear, must confess that suspected
something Of that sort, and to guard against
any future trouble, had little paper pre-
pared by my attorney, which you remember
to have signed in the Justices Office the day
we were married. You supposed it to be,
merely certificate of marriage; but it was
merely an article of agreement, in which you
promise to allow me, in case of separation, an
annuity of twenty-five hundred dollars. Under

have to exact the fulillment of this agreement
