County Of Gum berlund.
TNaE undersigned inhabitants OF BIu1swick, N
l. this County, respectfully pray ttnt the road
hereto ore located by the County Commits Jioners OF

on the petition of William 3. Fr intOn and others
extending from county road in Topsham. across
the Androscoggin River, over Shad Island, to a
county road in Brunswick. may be discontinued,
For the following reasons:
Firsf. Because it appears by the original pe-
titOn Tor said read, that the petit oners not only
PRAYED tor a road, but. also, and part OF said
undertaking, prayed tnat bridge, forming por-
tlon of the road over the Androscoggln River might
be 'builded" aud maintained by the said counties.
Whereas. the said cOun, 8 had not and have not
any power to buildf d maintain such bridge !; and
the action of the joint board OF Commissioners in
bridge to be,b0 ne by the ,wns, not responsive to
the prayer Of Il petition and the road 70 ocat is
not such as was contemplated or desired by the
petitioners, or by any parties interested.
Second. Because the building and maintaining
of such bridge, as part OF said road, will be a
very heavy burden and expense to the towns OF
Brunswick and Topsham. altogether beyond any
advantage to be derived erefrOm by the inhaDi-
tants of said towns, or by the public.

VIII be not les, than twenty five thousand dollars,
ana Will require to be paid by the County of Cum
Serand, and that such damages will be excessively
disprop0rtiOnate to any advantage that may be
gained BY the building OF said road.
fourh. Because the ,ast Legisa cure OF this State
empowered the two towns of Brunswick and Tops
nam to purchase the Toll Bridge over the AndrOs-
cogn River at an appraisal OF disnterested parties
anu thereby make it Free Bridge.
wherefore your petitioners pray that after due
notice, ami lawful proceedings had therein the said
load may be discontinued.

A Five Thousand Dollar Joke. >.

The Zanesfield, Ohio, Times tells the fol-
lowing: AT recent wedding among the
first families of this CITY, quite o sprightly
joke was perpetrated, but Just upon whom
the weight of it fell is difficult to determine
While the party were sitting around the
supper table, and before the distribution of
the viands had begun, the bride turned her 6
plate over and drew from under it q slipsOf
paper, which, upon reading, she discovered
to be a check for five thousand dollars paya-
BILE to her order. Flushed with Joy, of course
she passed it to her husband who hastily
cast his eyes over 1t, and in turn passeditt to
gentleman friend at hand, who likewise
perused it, but pretending ignorance of the
object of the gift handed it to "a clergyman
in attendance, who without a word, began
to pocket it with that hilarious motion and
flush of cOuntenance which indicated that
it was the best fee he had ever received for
officiating at wedding. The eyes of the
three were at once fixed upon him in SUR
prise and CONSERVATION. The bride,S of +,
course, would not speak for five thousand
dollars and the bridegroom was entirely to
happy to utter a word and even if he felt
like it, his relations were too recently
formed to assume control of his wifes prop
erty, and the friend who had got them into
the trouble too sensibly appreciated the joke
to say word, while the clergyman--well
he didn't think of anything but going
straight off to the bank and drawing the
money. However, before he'got the check
comfortably nestled in his vest pocket,7
the friend who had passed it to. him is ,
sued his order in the following words:
sTake that check out of your pocketp
which the clergyman promptly obeyed, and, I,
all parties were at once relieved of suspense.
The joke, however, was duly appreciated,
and by none better than the Clergyman
himselfn -.

How the HudsOn's Bay Officials get
Wives. F
To the Editor Of the New York sun.

To the Editor Of the New York Sun.-
SIR: Your narrative of "A Woman who
goes thousand miles away to marry man
she never saw" reminds me of the cool
and unceremonious way the officials of the
Hudson's Bay Company have of getting
their wives, especially those who live in
the most northern part of what was form
erly known as the Hudson's Bay Company
territories, such as the Mckenzie, Athabasca
and English River Districts. In these dis
tricts manageable women are few and far
between, except indeed the pure Indian
women, who formerly were considered
good enough to satisfy the fancies of the
gentlemen of the service.
Since the Red River district, however,
has been settled with Europeans, Canadi
ans and halfbreeds, there are many fair
white and half-breed women To be found
more suitable to the fancies of the gentle
men of the northern districts, and their
tastes have therefore undergone change,
They will not degrade themselves now by
intenmarrying with the pure Indians, but
generally send down word to some friend
residing in the settlement that they are in
want of a wife, and beg him to select one
to the best of his ability, placing entire
confidence in his choice.
The recommendation and choice of the
young lady are generally made through the
missionary, as the clergy, of course, are
supposed to know the character of their
fair flock
AS soon as all the necessary prelimina-
ries have been arranged, tile young lady
takes her departure for her Northern home
with the first brigade of boats that leave
the settlement for that district After six
or eight weeks voyage, she meets her FIJI:
ture lord and husband, and gets married to
him, after half hours acquaintance, by
the minister who is awaiting her arrival.
The distance, is, perhaps, not so great as
that of our fair friend who went OIL to
China, but if one takes it into considera-
ton that these voyages of six weeks to the
Mckenzie River District are made in open
row boats, with nothing but the open stern
sheets to sit in during the day and canvas
tent for the night to sleep under, with the
disagreeable accompaniment of myriads of
mosquitoes to torment them the whole of
the long voyage, the boldness of the under
taking and experiment of accepting hus-
band in that crude fashion is somewhat
more venturous and daring than most of
the young ladies of these more southern
clmes would like TO hazard their happi-
ness on.
This fashion of getting wife chosen for
them is by no means uncommon among the
officials of the Hudson's Bay COmpany's
service, especially those who are quartered
in the very remote districts referred to.

Little Wilfrid and his Uncle.

ONE peculiar instance of his mode Twill
give, and let it stand rather as a pledge for
the rest of his system than an index to it.
1t was only the other day it came back to =
me. Like Jean Paul, he would utter the
name of God to a child only atfgrandd mo-
ments; but there was great difference in
the moments the two men would have
chosen Jean Paul would choose thun-
der-storm for instance; the following will
show the kind of my uncle's choice: One
Sunday evening he took me for longer
walk than usual We had climbed a little
HILL believe it was the first time ever
had wide view of the earth. The horses
were all loose in the fields; the cattle were
gathering their supper as the sun went
down; there was an indescribable hush in
the air. as if Nature herself knew the
seventh day; there was no sound even OF
water, for here the water crept slowly to
the far-off sea, and the slant sunlight shone
back from Just one bend of a canal-like
river; the haystacks and ricks of the last
year cleaned golden in the farm-yards;
great fields of wheat stood up stately around
us, the glow in their yellow brought out
by the red poppies that sheltered in the
forest of their stems; the odor of the grass
and clover came in pulses; and the soft
blue sky was tiecked with white clouds
tinged with pink which deepened until it
gathered into flaming rose in the west,
where the sun was yelling out oceans of
liquid red.

in calm glow, like an answering, rosy
moon. The eyes of my mind were opened:
saw that he felt something, and then felt
it too His soul, with the glory for an in
terpreter, kindled mine. He, in turn,
caught the sight of my face, and his soul
broke forth in one word:
