The following, clipped from a
New Haven paper, will call to mind
to the citizens Of Windsor, the gush,
ing courtship of "Georgie" and
''sarah," two city boarders who
spent the summer at the good old
Ascutney House, and which tcrmina-
ted in marriage.
"GoT T1RED."-We notice that Mrs Sarah E..
Root, nee Russell, formerly reporter on the
Pdlddtuha. was divorsed from her husband,
| George w. Root, of Staten Island, by the
Superior Court, on Tuesday. The ground for
the dissolution of the marriage relation was
fraudulent contract" Just exactly what the
matter was with ''Sarah's young man." we are
not informed; but this we can say, that for
any human being, ''erect upon two legs and
wearing all the outward semblance of man"
10 entrap, by false representations, the bud
ding and gushing affections of an innocent
and contiding heart. especially when that
heart Is encased in tho corsets Of a newspaper
reporteress, is deed of darkness from which
we turn with heart too full of anguish to be
expressed in any known language. We trust
this episode will be lesson to Sarah, and that
when she embarks in matrimony next time,
she will see that number two can fill the situa-
ton
"Entrap," false representations
'budding," gushing 'innocent,'
''confiding," &c, Rich We cannot
account for the trouble, otherwise
than that an old admirer has lately
returned from the golden shores of
California. Look out for fun next
Summer:
The bogus correspondence from
Cornish, places the Windsor reporters
in a delicate position, as some of our
friends give us the credit of the pro
duction, therefore, we wish to enter
our protest against such mcanness
through your columns.
THE dance of the season takes
place at the Ascutney House on
the evening Of the goth inst. Mr..
Durkce informs us that he has secured
the Charlestown Quadrile Band, as
sisted by a celebrated Harpist, who
will favor those who attend with
several beautiful solos. Mr. Durkee,
by close attention and uniform gent
lemanly and pleasant address has
gained an enviable reputation as Il
landlord. We can guarantee any of
our friends from Woodstock GOOD
time if they will attend.
The lecture at the South Church
on Friday evening last by DR.. Isaac
Hayes the Arctic Explorer was very
interesting and fully attended.
We are glad to learn that a move
ment is being made to raise money TO
the replenish the treasury of the
Athan@um Library.
On the Ascutnny House Register
we notice among the prominent ar
rivals for the past week, the names of
several noble 'Refagees," "Fugitives
from Justice Men without Coun-
try Their nationality we cannot
vouch for, but we observed that one
Of them had on his American Shirt"
and one button lost, which was found
by r, L. Britton and duly forwarded.
The aforesaid button was supposed to
have been "busted off" while the wear
er was struggling to reach a high
note in the tune of Dearest MAY.
The only depreciation committed BY
them that we have yet learned, was a
raid on the house of Wilson Britton,
Hartland, and the Central House near
llartland Depot. We shouldn't be
surprised if they had a license law in
New Hampshire next election.
