THE PRISONERS, REUNION
The First Reunion or the Survivors OF
Rebel Prisons Made a Most Conn
plete Success by the Good People
or TOledO-The Program, and Rep
resentntiOn from Wood County.

port Of the days and two nights proceed.
ings, and befttingly eulogize the generous,
whole-souled and hearty welcome extended
by the good people of Toledo to their old
soldier guests and greatest sufferers by
the war.
When we consider the numerous times
this season that the generous people Of
that city have been called upon to con-
tribute their time, their labor and their
means for public demonstrations, and their
hearty and ready response to each call, it
is more than could have been or was ex
pected of them TO get up the feast and dec
orations and the labor incident thereto for
this occasion. But they did it, and their
guests cannot find fitting words to express
their gratitude for the hospitable manner
in which they were received and entertain.
ed. Capt. MAwER said after the supper
last evening that he would like to have
charge of a newspaper for short time,
while VIM. SHEPLER said he would prefer
the eloquence OF Bob. IEGERsoLL for about
an hour.
But, honors seemed TO be easy. The local
speakers who welcomed the prison survi-
vors said they we're proud that their city
was honored with this the first reunion of
the prisoners, and the prisoners felt ex-
ceedingly glad that they were alive and
there to accept the hospitality Of this gen
erous and patriotic people whose sympa-
thes had been with them in the field of
conflict, in the prison pen and was still so
forciblv manifest i'm piVil life
We cannot, this week, in the limited
space at our command, give a better gen
eral idea of the proceedings than to repro.
duce the program gotten up by the com
mittee OF arrangements for the reunion,
which was more than filled in several
particulars-only excepting some of the
prominent speakers who could not be pres

The ouaker's Trade.

A TRADE thoroughly learnt Is some
IA times more valuable than the pos
session of wealth. We will prove 1t
with story to the point.
A great many years ago, before steam
boats or telegraphs werein use,a wealthy
young gentleman paid marked attention
to Quaker's daughter, and after time,
when the climax had arrived that
they desired to be married, the young
man found that he had to pass through
the ordeal of getting permission from her
father; so with his suit he approached
the old man. On all points of ability to
support wife, and respectability of
character, the old Quaker was quite sat-
isfied, but he had to ask the young man
one question:
"Dost thou know trade p''
Being rather crest-fallen, the lover re-
piled In the negative.
"Then thou must learn one before
thou marries my daughter" was the
answer.
Not to be nonplussed, he went and
looked about to find trade that could
be most quickly attained, and selected
discriminating, and after satisfying the
old man that he could build basket
well, his sanction was given and the
happy couple married. They took their
honeymoon trip along the Mediterranean
sea, and were shipwrecked, losing every
thing but their lives, escaping to an
island, on which he supported himself
and wife by the trade he had so recently
learnt for about eighteen months, when
succor arrived and they were restored to
their friends.

A Fair Division.

A NOBLEMAN residing in a castle in
IA Italy was about to celebrate his
marriage feast. All the elements were
propitious except the ocean, which had
been so boisterous as to deny the
very necessary appendage of fish. On
the very morning of the feast, however,
poor fisherman made his appearance
with turbot SO large that 1t seemed to
have been created for the occasion. Joy
pervaded the castle, and the fisherman
was ushered with his prize into the sa-
loon, where the nobleman, in the pres
ence of his visitors, requested him to
put what price he thought proper upon
the fish, and it should be instantly paid
him.
Zone hundred lashes," said the fish
erman, on my bare back, is the price
of my fish, and L will not bate one
strand of whipcord on my bargain
The nobleman and his guests were not a
little astonished, but our fisherman was
resolute, and remonstrance was in vain.
AT length the nobleman exclaimed
"Well, well, the fellow is humorist,
and the fish we must have, but lay on
lightly, and let the price be paid in our
presence"
After fifty lashes had been admins
tered the fisherman exclaimed
Hold, hold L have partner in
this business, and it is fitting that he
should receive his share"
"What, are there two such madcaps
in the world 20 exclaimed the nobleman,
"name him and he shall be sent for in
stantly."
You need not go far for him." said
the fisherman; you will find him at
your gate, in the shape of your own por-
ter, who would not let me in until 1 had
promised that he should have the half
of whatever received for my turbot. I"
"Oh, oh, )" said the nobleman, bring
him up instantly, he shall receive his
stipulated moiety with the strictest JUS
tice.'
This ceremony being finished, he dis
charged the porter, and amply rewarded
the fisherman.

A Remarkable Phenomenon.

We are informed that gentleman
residing in Wakulla county, by the
name of Cox, who is cultivating farm,
upon arising one morning last week,
was surprised to find that during the
night his residence had been changed
from region where water could not be
seen and was situated on the border of a
lake. When he retired the evening be-
fore his house was far away from any
pond, lake or river, but upon going out
next morning his surprise may be i'm
agined when, instead of his garden, an
immense sink, fifty or sixty yards
square, filled with water, running up
within eighteen or twenty feet of his
residence, met his gaze. During the
night this transformation occurred ,leav-
ing not even a vestige of the tallest pine
trees which were standing in their maj
esty only twelve hours before. These
sinks, however, are not unfrequent in
the country. 1t has only been a short
time since that sink occurred near
Lavender's Mills, more remarkable than
the one alluded to above, in that it oc-
Cured upon the very top of hill-one
of the highest points of land in the
county. VIII not some one explain
these occurrences p tallahassee Wore-

A Texas Courtship.

THE following, the most remarkable
4 courtship and marriage on record,
we take from the Waco (Texas) Ex-
aminer," of June 29th =
M. 9. Shakespeare, farmer residing
in the northwestern part of this county,
and possibly distant relative of the re-
nowned bard of that name, called on the
Rev. j. HI. Richey, in this city, at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon and said:
Parson, do you know all the ladies
in Waco ?"
"No, don't know half of them, !" re-
piled Mr.. Richey.
"Do you know widow lady named
Mrs. Ward, who is employed in the FAM
lily of DR.. McGregor ?"
CT have not" said Rev. Richey, " the
honor of her acquaintance; but why do
you ask ?'
"Well, " said Mr.. Shakespeare, dom t
know her either; never saw her in my
life, but thinking maybe you knew all
about her, thought I'd come and ask
you. I'm thinking about marrying
her.o
II should think" remarked Mr.. r.,
/" that you would refer that matter to the
lady herself"
6 will, so WILL" said Mr.. S., "but
not until have first seen DIR. M'Gre-
gor," and SO saying, he turned and
walked away.
About three quarters of an hour later
Mr.. Shakespeare again stood in the pres
ence of Mr.. Richey.
/ have seen DIR. M'Gregor," said Mr..
S., "and he says he has known the lady
for sixteen years and she is all right. -
Then exacting from Mr.. Richey prom
ise that he would wait in his office a
little while," Mr.. S. walked off, saying
he would call on the lady,"
And he did.
Its all right, parson," said he walk
ing into Mr.. Richey's Office less than an
hour afterwards. tive seen the lady,
and she says it's all right. Quick as /
can get a pair of licenses 1 want you to
so up and tie the knot"
AT 4:30 O'Clock Mr.. NJ. G. Shakespeare
was married to Mrs. Nancy Ward, Rev.
j. H. Richey officiating, and the newly
welded pair left at once for their rural
home MIR. Shakespeare has good
farm and is well able to make his wife
comfortable. Mrs. Shakespeare is a
good housekeeper and is otherwise well
qualified so make him good wife.
Two hours and twenty minutes, dating
from the moment the would-be bride
| groom's first inquiries were made, is the
