When the twenty first New York caval-
ny regiment was disbanded at Cheyenne
city, Colorado, in June, 1866, one of the
officers, young gentleman of 4enterprising
disposition, determined to remain there and
seek his fortune. He found it--or at least
comfortable competency and has resided
at that place ever SINCE enjoying the fruits
of his labor and adding continually to his
store of this worlds goods. Previous to
entering the army he had betrothed hila-
self to young lady who, like himself at
that time, lived in the northern part OF
Livingston county, but during his absence
sort of GOODNESS grew up between them,
and some time since, while he was on o
visit to this part OF the country, further
disagreement arose, and since that time
they have not corr Dnded. The gentle
man, deeming himself free to choose again,
wooed and won a charming young lady, the
daughter of a prominent citizen of Rush,
in this county, and q few days ago came
east to fulfill an engagement of marriage
with her. Everything went on hsrmoni-
ously, and yesterday forenoon, in the pres
ence of manymutual friends, they were
united in the bonds of wedlock. But in

answer the complaint. 1t was disagree
able alternative in itself, but the worst fea-
ture of the caselay in the fact that he must
tell his, bride of the predicament in which
he was involved. Cold chills ran down his
back and struck to his heart, and in short
permeated his whole sytem when he thought
OF It. There was no use in delay, how
ever, and summoning all the courage he
could command, he called the lady aside
and honestly acquainted her with the story
of his firstlove and estrangcment, and what
had come of it. To his great relief she
took decidedly philosophical view of the
subject, and proved herself imbued with
wifely spirit by declaring that she would
accompany him to Rochester and face the
terrors of the law by his side. OF course
she received partial reward for her de-
