A Meeting of Long Parted Lovers.

An Ashtabula correspondent relates
the following: A beautiful, brown
haired daughter of Sweden was the
heroine of romance having its termi-
nation in Ashtabula recently, which
throws the "novel writer's" completely
into the shade. Twenty years ago,
when little fifteen year old damsel, she
was wooed and fairly won by Christian
Hanquest, bright lad twenty years of
age, in far off Sweden. The parents of
the girl were of higher rank than the
relatives of poor Christian, and as soon
as they learned of the preference mani
tested by the young couple for each
other, they ruthlessly "tore their young
hearts asunder," and probably "packed
the girl off to boarding school" )" If
there was such q cruel institution In
Sweden.
Christian bore his hard fate at home
as long as he was able, when, finding
all efforts to see his betrothed fruitless,
he ventured upon the ocean as a COM
mon sailor. After q lapse of several
years Hanquest returned to find his
friends and relatives scattered or dead
and himself a total stranger. He was
unable to find even the slightest trace
of his sweetheart. Hanquest had
amassed quite a little fortune in his
wanderings, but his unsuccessful efforts
to find his beloved, for whom he had
labored 80 long, caused him to care but
little as to the manner in which it was
spent, and finally threw himself once
more on his own resources, without
money or friends, in the early part of
the year 1872. He was in an English
seaport when he became rid of his last
"red," and shipped upon an American
vessel and worked his passage to New
York. While there, hearing stories OF
the fabulous wages which were paid
sailors upon the inland lakes, he went
to Canada and engaged himself on a
schooner. Here, however, he found
his golden dreams were naught, and,
reaching Cleveland, he started on foot
to Buffalo, where several of his friends
from the old country were living.
Hanquest spent the night of the 3rd
ult. at Ashtabula, and in conversation
with some of his countrymen who were
employed on the railroad, he inciden-
tally related fragments of his past his
tory, among them an account OF his
early love. While he was speaking a
Swedish lady, aged about thirty-tve
years, who resides in jamestown, N. Y,
and who was spending a few days in
Ashtabula, exclaimed in the language
of her Fatherland: Christian, do you
know me ?" and fell weeping upon his
shoulder. The wanderer had found his
mate but we draw curtain over the
scene, as too hallowed for the prying
eyes of reporter to penetrate.
The reunited couple started for
jamestown, where they will soon be
joined in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The fair ones parents are said to be
highly respectable people, and they will
probably not now maintain any opposi-
ton to what is evidently the manifest
destiny of their daughter, who for SO
long q period has remained single.
Hanquest will doubtless settle down
into sober and industrious citizen.

FRIGHTENED to Death.

Tereza Cherra was little italian girl
only six years old. We often hear the
expression Enlightened to death" used
in hyperbolical sense; but this child
was really frightened to death on a re-
cent Sunday in the streets OF our city.
Probably she was not unused to crowded
streets, such being the sad experience
of many of the little Italians in our
midst but evidently she was sensitive,
and not accustomed to roughness. For
one day she came running home to her
parents, wild with excitement, sobbing
and shriekiag in hysteric way that
nothing could check. All that could be
gathered from her wild words was that
some man had rudely laid hands upon
her. Physicians were summoned, but
they could do nothing for her; the
child would not allow herself to be
touched, but died while they were con-
sulting-frightened to death.

A Double Execution.

Joshua Nicholson and Thomas r.
Hollahan, who murdered Mrs. Mary
Ann Lampley, an old lady aged 72, on
the night of Jan. 2 last, and also rob-
bed the house, suffered the extreme
penalty of the law at Baltimore.
Both prisoners walked with a firm
step, Hollahan nodding pleasantly to
the Jail officials as he passed along.
They yascended the steps ofthe platform
with steady tread, the countenances
of each beaming with smiles. Both ad-
dressed the people assembled, saying
that their sentences were just, and they
were willing to die.
The men then took their positions on
the platform, Nicholson on the left and
Hollahan on the right side of the plat
form. Sheriff Kane then advanced to
Nicholson and adjusted the rope around
his neck and the white cap over his
face, after which he approached Holla-
han, who, as the Sheriff lifted the rope
to raise it over his head, bowed low,
and as he rose received the fatal moose,
at the same time requesting the Sheriff
to be particular in placing the knot
under his ear. The white cap was then
drawn over his face. During these pro-
ceedings the attendant ministers were
comforting the doomed men with words
af consolation. All preparations being
now concluded, Hollahan said in q
clear, firm voice Brother Nicholson,
give me your hand, I bid you good-by."
With their pinioned arms and bound
hands they bade each other adieu as
best they could. Both men died quick
ly after the drop fell.

Dangerous Counterfeit.

in New York and Boston, which 30 close

A few evenings since, a would-be

A Fish Story.

The Rutland (Vt.) Herald is respon-
sible for these assertions: can old
resident of Castleton, who lives in the
vicinity of Bomoseen Lake, was recent
ly ishing in the lake, being anchored
but a few rods from shore, when he had
a most extraordinary bite and take , at
the end of his line and hook. With an
unlimited amount of exertion he pulled
up-a four-gallon jug, with something
inside tugging at the line. Upon break
ing the jug three-pound pickerel was
found. The probabilities are, that the
fish, in his early fishhood,' being of q
philosophical turn of mind, or being
out on little time in search of some
thing to make his heart happy, had en-
tered his jug, and being unable to get
out, had remained there ever since, till
he had attained his present weight and
age"

A Marvellous Change.

The extraordinary change that has
taken place in Japan in ten years is
hard to believe. It is but ten years
since the country was opened to foreign
commerce, and already in Yokohama
and Yeddo, there are many hundreds
of native shops, selling foreign goods,
besides those kept by foreigners. In
addition to this, it is stated as remark
able fact, that large part of the male
portion of the middle and upper classes
dress entirely in our style. Even old
men, too old to sport the new costume,
look with delight upon their grandsons
dressed in hats, boots, and what belongs
between, and take pride to show off in
the streets their "young Japan" thus
apparelled. The army and navy are
remodelled on European systems in or
ganization, arms and uniforms, down
to the common trumpet, drum and fife.
They have stages, steamers and tele-
graphs, and contract has been made
for a railroad. There are two extern
sive boundaries, with foreign machi-
merry, in the country, and several docks.
As to the matter of diet, beef, the abom-
ination of Buddhism, begins largely to
be consumed, and bread is much liked.
In the heart of the capital sewing ma
chimes hum in the tailors' shops. A
foreign college in Yeddo has hundreds
of boys studying English, French and
German. Eight foreign physicians in
struct inmedical colleges. Newspapers
are published in several places, with
their columns of "Foreign" and "Tele-
grams," clipped and translated from
our standard papers. Bookstores,
selling English and French books, are
seen in many places; and the quantity
of books imported is immense.

CRowDED.-Few are aware of the
vast number of people that can be placed
in a small space. When We speak of
millions of men we are apt to picture
to ourselves an almost boundless mass
OF humanity, yet million of people
standing together, each person occupy
ing four square feet, could be placed on
patch. A square mile would accommo-
date 6,965, 900. The whole population
of the United States would hardly cover
two and half miles square, and the
population of the entire world could be
easily accommodated on tract of twelve
miles long and twelve wide--less in sx-
tent than some townships.

A curious battle took place, recently,
at Pelham, N. H., between hen and a

proach of the reptile flew at it with
ruffled feathers and threatening beak,

could, but finally, after repeated efforts
