One of our fairest and most accomplished young
ladies' left u.s. last Friday, and the effect her de-
parture produced upon the nerves of some of our
young men is still noticeable The scene at the de-
pot was very affecting. We noticed one young man
in secluded spot, weeping bitterly; and just before
the train left another with tearstained face,
and PARKWAY look in his eye, approach her, and
ask if she would accept trife in remembrance of
him; and as she extended trembling hand to grasp
it, We took it for granted she had accepted, but
few seconds later, when saw the aforesaid trife
hurled violently ut box car, we changed our mind.
The friends of the young men have used every pre-
caution prevent suicide but they are now salts
fed that all danger is over.
