The humorous extract below strikes us
as not unworthy of Dickens,
We left Winchester in the stage coach
for Strasburg at 10 o'clock at night, on
the Oath of December, 1851, The wealth
er was bitter cold, and we congratulated
ourselves that the coach was not crowded
Mr.. McG. and the girls were on the back
seat, Methodist Minister, a soldier and
myself on the middle, and two soldiers
and our Maid betsy on the front. We
went off by starlight, with every prospect
of pleasant drive of eighteen miles.
AS we were leaving the suburbs of the
town, the driver drew up before small
house from which issued two women with
baby, two baskets, several bundles and
box. The passengers began to shout
out, $50 on, driver; what do you mean
there's no room for another; go on" The
driver made no reply, and the two women
came to the coach door and began to put
in their bundles. The gentlemen protes-
ted that they could not get in-there was
no room. The woman with the baby said
she would get in; she was "agwine to
Strasburg to spend Christmas with her re-
lations,, whar she was born and raised, and
whar she had not been for ten years, and
nobody had better right to the stage than
she had, and she was agwine. and Kitty
Grim was agwine too-she's my sister-in-
law and SO is baby, cause baby never
sesn her relations in Strasburg in her life.
