The rains and SHOWS Of the last few days

Of Fauquier, who reside near Brandy

cross the Rappahannock. at Beverly S ford,
in two-horse wagon, and when near
the middle of the river they We're washed
by the current form the ford and down
the middle OF the dangerous stream. The
coupling becoming unfastened, they were
in perilous situation and the gentleman
losing his presence of mind, endeavored to
leap into the river. As he had on his
overcoat he would in all probability have
been drowned, but the lady caught hold
of him with one hand and with the other
guided the horses to q point near the
shore, where the wagon hung up.
Then insisting on his remaining and
looking after the horses, she leaped into
the stream, swan ashore and went to Mr.
Cunningham's, the nearest house, 70:
assistance, which i'll an hour or two was
procured, ard the half drowned and frozen

to Mertie Cleveland, a member of another
leading Tioga county family. A few days
ago they went on visit to the brides
father at Frost Settlement. A chicken
was to be killed for dinner. Mr.. Cleve-
land took down his rifle to shoot one and
young Cass asked his father-in-law to let
him do tho shooting. He took the gun
and went out into the yard. His bride
stood at the window looking at him.
"Shoot the big one, WILL" she shouted
to him as the chickens were huddled to-
gether. Cass laid the gun down and
tossed a stone among them to scatter
them. He then picked up the rifle by the
muzzle and drew it toward him. The
motion knocked the hammer down on the
cap and the gun was discharged, the ball
crashing through the bridegroom's head,
killing him almost instantly. He was 80
years old,

Decidedly Cheeky.


In cases like those that turned up recent
ly, where certain county officials put in
bills and has allowed them large sums for
work done in their Offics, there was un-
doubtedly just cause for complaint. 1t is
the duty of county officers to keep the work
and papers in their offices in order. They
receive pay in the shape of fees from the
people who have business there, and for
them to ask the county for additional pay
is decidedly cheeky, and and the county
commissioners are derelict in their duty
to the people when they pay out the coun-
ty money on such flimsy pretext.
