TROUBLES OLA NEwLY-wEDDED PAIR
The Troy Press tells an amusing story of
the vexatious disappointments which be-
fell recently married pair. threads thus ;
George w. Pratt of Pittsford, Monroe
County, and his wife were made one just
before Christmas, and like most people
started on a wedding trip. Port Henry was
their destination, and they reached Sarato-
ga in safety. Here the groom found 1t nee
essary to see man just opposite the de-
pot, and left his blooming bride in tho car
He would be back in a minute but while
he was looking through the bottom Of a
tumbler the train started of and left him.
The bride continued her journey alone,
while the groom was dashing around Sar-
atogo like mailman to get SOMEBODY to
stop that train and bring back his bride.
He finally burst into tears and fell pros
trate on the street. Constable J. w. Gill
bert volunteered to assist the man in his
trouble. A dispatch was sent to Port Hen
ry for the bride. She, sensible woman that
she was, got on the down train to come
back after her husband. The up train and
the down met at Saratoga. When the for
mer came into the station the bridegroom
boarded it and was whirled away north
ward just as the down train drew up to
the station having on board the wife. Tho
situation is now reversed, and Mr.. Gilbert
felt embarrassed with new bride on his
hands instead Of the groom. More dis
patches TO Port Henry followed.
The wife took the next train north at the
same time her husband took the next train
south from where he was. Half way be-
tween Saratoga and Port Henry the trains
pass, one standing on a siding, the other
not stopping. At this particular point the
husband and wife passed 'unbeknownsp TO
each other. When the groom reached Sar-
atoga he found his wife had left for the
north on the last train, and ditto wife when
she reached Port Henry. Finally an order
was sent TO Port Henry peremptorily re-
quiring the wife TO stay where she was Till
the husband should come. BY observing
this order the two got together at last and
everybody was happy, including Officer
Gilbert"

j. q. Abbott, an eXpressman at Law
renee, Mass, heroically saved the lives of
two boys recently, who had broken through
the ice on Spicket River. He saw a lad
named James Davis, 10 years old, strug-
Cling in the water, and went to his rescue,
and, although the ice was thin and ex-
tremely rotten, succeeded in bringing the
lad TO shore, who, as soon as able to speak,
informed him that Eddie, five years old
son Of Henry Behrmann, was under the
Ice. The brave man again erawled out on
the Ice, scarcely thick enough TO bear his
weight, and caught sight, through one of
the numerous air holes, of the boys hand
floating on the wafer. Lying Hat on the
Ice he succeeded in drawing the insensibe
boy through hole, and being an expert in
resuscicating drowning people, he succeed
ed, after considerable time and much la
Dor, in bringing the boy to life. During
the act large crowd breathlessly watched
Abbott. mOmentarlly expecting TO see him
disappear through the Ice.

THE "SPoILs. President Washington
removed nine persons from office in eight
years all for cause; Adams also removed
nine, but none for political reasons; Jefler-
son displaced thirty-nine, none, as he de-
clared, because their politics differed from
his. Madison made five removals; Mon
roe, nine; John Quincy Adams, fewer still.
And yet your Tom Murphys and Caseys,
your Buffers and Chandlers-even your
Tildens and Kerrs-will tell you that the
government cannot be carried on without
parties, nor parties without patronage -
Republican Congress was so sure of this
that 1t strangled its own reform offspring
in its infancy. Tilden is so persuaded OF
1t that he has put his mon partisan" canal
commission into Democratic State Offices /;
and rOll-call of the servants of the House
of Representatives, or Of any body con-
trolled by the Democrats, would fail TO

Which in stormy weather are in demand
IN Short this Deacon is equal to the task
OF furnishing you with whatever you ask.
