PASSENGERS on the east bound
train, C. & z. r. R., Monday afternoon
last experienced . sudden and violent
shock at Mt Savage. a car was run
upon The main track from siding
with the purpose of coupling it to the
rear when the brake chain broke, and
down it came resistlessly upon the
train. Capt. Mansfield, the conduc-
tor, instantly comprehending the sit
uation, signalIed the engineer to
proceed beyond the usual stopping
place, knowing the force of the crash
would be considerably lessened by the
train s forward movement. Wien the
shock came it we'll nigh unseated the
passengers and Of course alarmed
them ve'y much. The express mes
senger effects were considerably
shaken up, but the actual damage
amounted to stoved-in bumper and a
broken platform. But for the GOODNESS
and thoughfulness of the conductor,
somebody would have been hurt.

sons Of the apparently untoward and
mysterious forestalment as follows:
The projected union had encountered
some parental antagonism, and the
messenger dispatched to overtake the
party was instructed to say that this
embarrassment would be gracefully
removed if the truants would return.
To This felicitous proposition there was
1ue acqniescenee fus I've steps We're
retraced, sorrowfuIly perhaps, but
with he determination that Joy should
come with the morning. For that day
therefore the consummation of tie
nupt.s'l t:e vas obviously inlrac.ira-
bic. Ear.y on Monday a second en-
voy extraordinary proceeded to Cum
bernard, obtained the indispensable
authority, anL returned in gool time
to nable tie high contracting parties
to celebrate the manor privilege of the
race according to the most engaging
ceremony known to ritualistic observ-
ances. Tins was done, and assurance
was doublv assured by the minister,
who conceded Tie novel accommodate
ton of marrying the parties, first, at
the residence of the brides mother,
and, last, at the church OF the groom's
mothers choice.

For power parental siclnly saw, and strovc
To tear the lily bands of pli,shtcd love;
Nor sIroyc in vain. But while the fair

The sirongtr lover, with uuswcry', rIruth,
To his firm passion consecra'cs his YOUTH
Certainly the good wishes of all at

ty trust is that in this, as in every
other connubal venture, that whatev-
er may have ruilied the wonted Joy
