AN INTERESTING RoSANCE-FIRsT Love
TRlUNruANT.-Last week, the Whitehall
papers contained the simple notice Of the
marriage of s. Lyman Dwight Of that
place to Mrs. Nancy Adams, Of Carson
City, Nevada. Connected with this union
there is an unusually Interesting romance,
that affords a striking illustration o! the
power of first love-" and the persstency
with which human nature will cling to
objects upon which the affections have
been centered IN youth. Away back in the
year 1927, Lyman Dwight was lad seven
teen years old, poor and accustomed to
earn his own living. About that time he
became devoted to a girl two years younger,
and the young man + sentiments were I'M
questionably reciprocated by his fair com
panion. Her family. however. was wealthy
one. AboIt that period Dwight obtained
employment on a sloop tina. piled the waters
of Lake Champlain. and while following
that calling, left his native village, South
Hero. The girls parents learned OF his
vocation, and considering it too mental dc
manded that all intercourse between the
two should cease. Finding that the dictates
of love still oyercame all obstacles while the
young people were anywhere near each
other, the girl was taken off to st. Law
renee county to live. and as time went On
she apparently forgot the choice of former
days. for she married a man named Adams,
who became infused with the gold fever of
40 and departed for California. lie was
industrious, and rapidly accumulated n
fortune from gold mining. About 1853,
his family Joined him on the Pacific
slope and remained there until the chill
dren had become heads of families. Some
time in 1857 the elder Adams died, and his
widow remained single, deyoting herself to
the family, OF which certain members have
become prominent persons, one son at
present filling the position of lieutenant
governor of Nevada, while another is
mayor of Carson City, in the same State.
During this long interval Dwight had lin
gercd around the vicinity where no was
born, and after embarking in several dit
ierent callings finally became Il well known
and successful merchant. lie WAS also
married, but his wife died some three years
ago Learning by chance where Mrs Al
ans lived, tho attachment for his first
love" again asserted itself. and cores
pondence was commenced After few
months he, for the second time, proposed
marriage. and no obstacles preventing. she
came from Nevada few weeks ago and
met Mr.. Dwight, the two not having seen
each other since they were separated as
stated. On Sunday. September 30, they
met ut the Iodine Spring House. South
llcro-the home of their rbildhoud-and
were duly married by the Rev. Georse 5.
Guernsey Thus alter space Of 30 years
has elapsed, they are at last united, and
living contentcdy together at Whitehall.
