having hankering to see her, Teller,
thought it would be nice joke on him TO
have him come over and spend the Sabbath

a Young gent in the telegraph Office, she
sent up a telegram informing the aforesaid
Brandon gent that his lady-love here was
very sick and desired his immediate pres
ence (the young lady's parents not for
moment to be thought oi). The telegram
was received in Brandon in due course OF
time, which caused the lover to hurry up
and get on his best toggery'' and take the
first train for Port Henry arriving here,
what was his surprise to find his ever adora-
bic at the train to receive HIM with open
arms. Pretty good joke, but may heplayed

with a contradiction. The house had had a
sudden bat temporary difficulty which it

caused by gloomy news from outside the city
