A True Lover Reelected, But sensible
0t Last


at Last.
Oil City, Pa, April 15.-On Monday,
March 20, there arrived in this.city a party
Of German migrants from Wurtemburg.
Their Castle Garden trunks and the peculiar
dress of the people attracted not little at
tention. There we're three..famlies, each of
which had apparently been sbundsntly bless
ed with children. as there were thirty-one
persons in the party all told. The men were
dirty, the women were slouchily attifed, and
the children bore an almost repulsive appear
ance. There was nothing in the appearance
of the motley crowd that would tend to suggest
anything romantic. The girls seemed TO be
industrious while engaged in loading the
heavy trunks on the wagons, but there was a
total absence of pretty faces, fine figures, or
we'll developed charms of any kind. They
came here TO engage in agricultural pursuits.
They were conveyed to the German settle
ment in Grant cry t'wnship, wherei they had
arranged for land, and at once commenced
work. On the following day one of the
young men of the party returned to Oil City
and found one of his countrymen to whom
he impaired a sorrowful story. He said he
was 80 years of age, and had served two
years In the army. He had fallen desperate.

ages. Nothing 10th, he had determined to
follow. He accompanied the travellers and
enjoyed the felicity of being near his adored
one. He repeatedly urged bis claim, but the
mother would not relent. At Castle Garden
his trunk was lost some one having stolen
his check, but that was of little consequence,
SO long as he was near his charner. He
continually urged the girl to either re.
rurn with him or marry him and he would
remain here, but the girls mother utterly
refused to make any kind of compromise
Therefore he had resolved to return, leaving
the girl behind with her parents. When be
left he remarked that there were other girls
in the world as good as she, and he would
| find one of them.
