neighboring farms ct Middletown,
Conn, and last Wednesday they
went before the Squire and were
married. The next thing on the pro-
gramme was the wedding tour.
Neither had money; both had good,
stout shoes. Keeping excellent step
as both hearts beat as one, they set
out to walk to Woodbury. to visi,
Johns old folks. Wednesday night
found them on the road posting on
through the snow. All day Thurs.
day they pressed on, and as night
fell they stopped at little inn by the
roadside. John was very much used
up Fridaybecause of the long walk
but Ella lent him shoulder, and &C
the wedding tour was continued. A.
the two approached within four OF
Eve miles of Woodbury. John gave
out, and persons who kindly asked
what was the matter heard only from
Ella . request to borrow a wheel

trians had just been married, be len

the groom in this, the bride wheeled

Two young Virginia girls were !

Two young Virginia girls were ri.
walls for the good will of a young
man. Like ancient knighte they
fought for supremacy-one with a
club and the other with a pitchfork.
Fhs contest was long and bloody,
one receiving eighteen or twenty
slabs from the fork, and the other
being pounded terribly over the head.
Both have since died from their
wounds. The young man, the cause
of the jealousy, became frightened
and left the country. History does
not record a more shocking exhibit

gentle sex.
