s~President Grant promptly ve-
toed the bill which passed Congress
to pay Dr.Milton ] Best of Paducah,
KY, for his house destroyed by the
Union forces in 1864 at the time of
Forests raid. 1t will be remember
ed that the rebels got into the
house and picked off the Union gun
ners in the fort. The guns of the
fort were turned on the Doctors
mouse and 1t was very soon demolish-
ed. The owner claimed to have
been Union man during the war
and demanded satisfaction from the
government. Congress allowing the
claim established precedent that
may cost the country millions upon
millions of money. But General
Grant acted no less wisely in his ve-
to of the bill than his soldiers did at
Paducah in their veto of the slaugh.
ter OF brave comrades.

A Woful Tale of Too Much wedlock

And it came to pass some time yes
terday that Prot. Aaron M. Clarke,
cremona scraper of some repute,
was brought to grief and taken to
Jail in a way which he must, altho'
the public docs not, despise. Now
Aaron is dancing-msster, ancient
of years, it is true, but withal a rus
Ting old boy among certain of the
other sex. And thereby hangs the
present tale. The professor is well
known in several parts of this
county. He has taught divers dane
ing classes here and there, doing av>
ersge work as it went, training the
young how to go into society, and
literally spreading the rudiments of
bodily grace among the Masses
Some tive months ago he came to
Lancaster, and met his 10Th, we be-
lieve,) fate. He married, did this
musical old triHer with that noble
organ called the cart, married, we
say, winsome lassie forty years or
so his junior, and then departed for
Platteville, taking bis treasure with
him.
In Platteville the amiable Aaron
soon wallzed himself into the con-
fdence Of the citizens. He opened
dancing school, received many pu-
pills, and led prosperous life. But
soon reverses and disasters came
One morning the pair beheld an ap-
partition ia their chamber. Not a
spiritual one but a material and mus
cular. The Prof. was much agitated
and sore afraid, tor the early intrud-
or was his own dear wife-the fifth
one in chronological THEORETICALLY
married unto him somewhere in the
State of Michigan six or seven year 9
ago. This infatuated one had heard
of the truant tiddler's connubial fool
ishness perpetratod in Lancaster,
and so came oil the way from her
Michigan home TO recover and, it
may be, reconstruct her own aud on
ly Aaron. A scene ensued, of course,
in which the fiiddler's feelings must
have been "far, far from gay" as B.
Harte might be free to maintain.

Of Terpsichore was arrested, taken
