OswegO's Romance.

The Oswego IN. " Palladium gives
the following pleasant little story, in
which Oswego, Franklin, and Jefferson
Counties have a share: Memories
differ on the point, but it was either
twenty or twenty-five years ago that
Mr.. George Adams, a rising young law
yer of Malone and widower, was mar
ried to Miss Treadway, of this city.
Miss Treadway was at that time hand
some woman of perhaps twenty-five,
and Mr.. Adams was an imposing-look
ing man, some ten years his wife's SEN
Tor. Their tempers were incompatible,
and after a couple of years of married
life they were divorced, Mrs. Adams
coming home to her fathers house and
Adams continuing his law business at
Malone. A few years after this Mr..
Adams went into the Eastern States
and married a lady named Jones, who,
we understand, has relatives living near
New Haven, in this county. This mar
riage was without issue, and about two
years ago Mrs. Adams No. died.
About this time Mr.. Adams had risen
to the prominence of Judge, and was
working gradually up. Three months
ago Mrs. Adams received letter from
her former husband, the purport of
which can be surmised only; but cor
respondence was begun between them,
and day before yesterday Mrs. Adams,
accompanied by acouple of lady friends
from here, met Mr.. Adams in Manns-
vile, at the residence of sister of his
first wife, where the long-separated
couple were again joined in the bonds
of wedlock, which it is hoped no man
can again put asunder. The happy
pair came here yesterday morning, and
will remain until Monday, when they
leave for Malone. Mr.. Adams has two
daughters by his first wife living, one
of whom is married and resides at
Sandy Greek. AIS well that ends
well.'n

4 QUEER GIRL.

What was that, mother" think better not CO. :
Why, mother the fun of the winters the snow
like to be out In a regular blow
don't mean the cold snow that glistening lies
And sparkles, and dazzles, and puts out your
eyes
Though l rather like skating, meath evening
skies.
When the ice is like steel in the dark-blue air,
And that marble gllsten is everywhere,
The moon riding high-but, mother, I'd not dare
Face great, white winter midnight all alone!
I'd as soon see ghost, if the truth were known
Yes do drop my curtains at night, own.
But, mother, a nice honest snow-storm like this
Why, it just jolly there, please give me kiss.
I'll wrap me up warm and the walk will be bliss.
No, / sha'n't get wet. This is snow; snow is dry.
See! feathers! they float up soft and so high,
whistles by!
just like frolic in the falling snow
| Just like to put on my things and to goi
And wish the wind then to rise up and blow!
It's nothing at all but the iolliest joke
When a girls wrapped up in her waterproof
cloak
l just brace myself like tough little oak.
Do you know, l think when I'm woman grown
III be one of those women standing alone,
All joyously doing a work of my own?
g I'm such queer child?" Mother, dear, if it's
I'm sorry. Kiss me now-I sha'n't be gone long.
o snowtiakes . storm wind | feel like song!

Heroes of the Metropolis.

One of the chief instances of heroism
well worthy of record was that mani
tested throughout the entire day of the
wreck by Mrs. Ann Huet, who, being
early assisted from dangerous position
on the main deck to one comparative
ly secure in the starboard forerigging,
remained there until the closing scene
a spectator of the principal horrors, yet
calmly awaiting whatever fate Heaven
might have in store for her, without a
murmur. Her experience during the
trying day was of kind seldom en-
countered by her sex. Scarcely secured
in her new position, she witnessed the
death of Mrs. Harrison, who, when
washed from the pilot-house, was
grasped by Quartermaster Poland and
almost Immediately torn from his arms
by the ruthless breaker which drowned
her there, and then at the same time
washing her husband from the wreck to
safety. A strange ruling of Providence,
the same wave proving harbinger OF
death to one and of Gfe to the other of
this welded pair
Prominent among the heroes of the
Metropolis tragedy stands the humDle
and unpretentious-looking Irishman,
Timothy o. Brien. BY his own unaided
exertions he rescued from the breakers
and surf nearly fifty persons. Timothy
is native of County Limerick, Ireland,
is about thirty-four years of age, five
feet six inches high, very stout built,
Hercules in strength, and of the great
est physical endurance. This is the
second wreck from which he has es-
capped with his life, the first being that
of the steamer Golden Gate, which was
lost off Acapulco, on the Pacific coast,
in 1868. She was burned to the water S
edge, and O'Brien was one of the twen-
ty-five persons who swan ashore-a
distance of seven miles. Soon after the
Metropolis struck and began to break
up, there was general rush for the
rigging. O'Brien secured a position
high on the mainmast, but when it be-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-03-02

came apparent that the only chance for
life was in swimming he boldly jumped
from the rigging over the heads of the
others and struck out for the beach,
which he reached safely, the fifth man
from the wreck
Realizing the peril of his fellow-pas-
sengers, o. Brien fastened over to the
Currltuck clubhouse, three-quarters of
a mile distant, where he procured pair
otoveralls and quantity of dry matches.
de returned and built several fires, aft
er which he began the work which
marks him hero. The sea was full
OF struggling victims, buffeted with
breakers, and one by one sinking
never to rise again with life, when
oBrien, at ten O. clock, plunged boldly
INTO the rescue. One by one he brought
The nearly exhausted, and in some in
stances half-dead, victims ashore, and
placed them in the hands of others at
the fires. He never halted until five
O'Clock in the evening, when the last
survivor had reached the shore. In
the seven hours during which he was
thus engaged O'Brien had saved nearly
tlfty persons, many of whom would
have persisted but for his great cool
ness and his manly aid. The last
and browning act of this great feat of
humanity was the rescue of Mrs. Anne
Huet, the only surviving female of the
wreck. She was struggling feebly with
the breakers, supported only by life
preserver, but evidently exhausted and
about to sink. O'Brien saw her posi-
ton, and, calling to young man named
John Doherty to help him, he started
through the surf for the dying woman.
Twice the treacherous waves snatched
herfrom his friendly grasp, bat at last
he caught her and with Doherty's as
sistnce brought her ashore in an I'M
conscious condition. She was alive,
however, and was at once subjected to
the somewhat barbarous remedy of be-
ing rolled upon barrel to get the salt
water out of her, and then placed upon
a bed-tck beside one of o. Brien's fires.
In about thirty minutes she revived to
find her husband beside her. He had
been washed ashore about forty yards
below on the beach, and when dragged
out his fist exclamation was: els my
wife dromed?" He was told that she
was saved and overjoyed with the news
he was carried to her side, where he re-
manned until she opened her eyes to re-
alize that both had escaped watery
graves.

Toward the close of the fight of Ink
ermann, Lord Raglan, returning from
taking leave of Gen. Strangways, met
a Sergeant carrying water for the
wounded. The Sergeant drew himself
up to a salute, when round-shot came
bounding over the hill and knocked his
forage cap out of his hand. The man
picked it up, busted it on his knee,
placed it carefully on his head, and
made the salute, not muscle of his
countenance moving the while. "a
neat thing that, my man." said Lord
Raglan. Eyes, my Lord" returned
the Sergeant with another salute, "bu
a miss is as good as a mile" The
commander was probably not surprised
by such an exhibition of sang troid, be-
ing himself good that way. He was
badly hurt at Waterloo, and says the
Prince of Orange, who was in the hos
pital: 4" was not conscious of the pres
ence of Lord Fitzroy Somerset until |
heard him call out in his ordinary tone:
Hello! Don't carry that arm away till
have taken off my ringn Neither
wound nor operation had extorted a
groan from his lips. "-ChamberS' Jour-

to sixteen years old, the children of
well-to-do or wealthy people, were ar
rested near the depot at Railway, N. j.,
the other day, while on their way to
Denver, Col, to form a company for
fighting the Indians, having become
deeply imbued with dime-novel notions
and taken such names as Daredevil

the Scalper." Their pockets contained
cheap double-barreled pistols, revolv-

ten dollars in cash.

A Rio JANEIRo letter says much talk
has been caused by the confession of a
man that he was the real author of the
murder and burning of eight persons
in 1852, for which a wealthy planter and
three of his slaves were executed in
1856. The tragedy occurred near Ma
chat, and the murderer says that, as
sisted by some dependents, he forced
the house in the dead of night, secured
all the inmates, deliberately murdered
the whole family to destroy their evil
dence, and set the house on fire, in ex-
pectation that their death would be as
cribed to an accident.

food from the lofty rack on which they

4 Great LAWYER with a Weakness.

Luther Martin was one of the most
famous lawyers OF his time. He was a
little above the medium height, and was
slovenly in appearance. His dress was
a compound of the fine and the coarse,
and seemed never to have felt the brush.
He wore rufles at the wrist richly edged
with lace after every one else had aban
doned them. These rt1ffles were con-
spicuously broad, and we're always dirty
with tobacco juIce. Judge Taney said
that in his speech he used vulgarisms,
and that he heard him say "cotch him,
instead of caught him, and We sot down,
instead OF sat down.
His genius was frequently clouded by
the excessive use Of strong drink. Being
engaged in an important case, he
promised his clients the day before the
suit was 10 be tried not to drink any
liquor. He retired TO his room, but
could not resist his desire for stimulants.
He sent for bottle of brandy and loaf
of bread, and after saturating the bread
thoroughly with the brandy, he ate II,
and mis- unfortunate appetite was salts
fed, and he claimed he had kept his.
promise not 10 drink. He tried the
cause in the ablest possible manner, but
on being reproached by his clients for
his virtual violation of his promise, he
remarked: 81 did not drink drop; be-
sides, say no more about it. Had it not
been for the bread, 1 would have lost the
case"
He had paralytic stroke, and having
squandered his large earnings at the bar
as fast as they were acquired, in his old
age, under the goadings Of penury, he
removed TO New York, and received the
hospitalities and kind attentions OF Aaron
Burr, whom he had ably defended at
Richmond. Before his death the Legis-
lature passed resolution that every one
on being admitted to the bar should pay
one dollar cash for his use. He died on
July 10, 1926, when he was eighty-two
years of age.
