which resulted in the marriage was be-
gun while the streets of Brooklyn were
filled with snow. The contracting
parties were Miss Mary McEwen and
George Cozen, of Hicksville, l.. 1. On
the night after the great storm MI.
Cozen was faoundering through the
drifts in East New York avenue, when
he was attracted by the sounds of q
woman's voice calling for help. He
made his way to the place whence the
sounds came and found Miss McEwen
lying helpless in the snow. Her feet,
hands and ears were frozen, and she
was so exhausted that she had lain her
self down to die. Mr.. Cozen, being an
athletic young man, picked the helpless
young lady up. put her on his back and
carried her to her home. The journey
was u weary one, hut home was reached
ut last and Miss McEwen received the
care of tender hands. Her rescuer was
Il frequent caller after that, and, it is
needless to say, a welcome one. The
acquaintance rapidly sprang into init
macy, and as the two young people
talked over the evcntful night they
found themselves regarding each other
with feelings of other than gratitude ON
the IL hand and admiration ON the
other.
IHE temperance of Judge ID. s.
Terry i'll the public prints as o,se of
the principals in the Sharon-Hill suit
and his Imprisonment for contempt of
court, recall a celebrated duel which
Terry fought with Senator Broderick
and the tragic death of the latter.
Terry became embittcred against
Brodcrick because he failed to secure
a denomination for Chief Justice and
lie thought that Brodcrick had some-
thing to do with his defeat. Brolerick
had become IL warm alhcrent of
Stephen n. Douglas. Attn Democratic
State Convention held in 1859. Terry
denounced Broderick in unmeasurcd
terms and said that if lie was the fol-
lower of any Douglas it was the black
Douglass. whose name is Frederick, not
Stephen. Broderick read Terry's re-
marks i'll II paper IL morning when he
was eating his breakfast. He merely

hack the remark that he had
once made, that Terry was the
only honest Judge on the Supreme
bench" In the then state of society in
California this remark was considered
a good enough ground for a duel, and IL
challenge was sent by Terry to Brod-
erick. Eighty persons Witnessed the
affair: IL h%alf-dollar was tossed up and
Judge Terry won the choice of weapons.
The seconds of Senator Broderick had
become very nervous over the prelim-
%inarics, and this somewhat unnamed
their principal. The pistols were finally
cooked and the word given for firing.
There was Al report from Broderick's
pistol, followed in IL second by Terry's.
For some reason Brolerick's pistol ex-
plolcd before it had been brought to IL
level. The bullet buried itself in the
ground IL third OF the distance short.
Had it gone all the way it would have
struck the mark, for it went in a PEP
fcctly direct line. The report of Terry's
pistol had hardly died away when
Broderick was seen to start. He turned
half way round and grasped at the air
as though trying to recover his balance.
His head dropped and he fell flat on
his back. his pale face upturned to the
sky. The ball entered the right breast
and passed through the upper lobe of
the left lung. The owner of the ranch
upon which the duel was fought was SO
intensely excited over this that he
shouted: "That is murder, by God!"
Terry was arrested in San Francisco
and Brodcrick died in three days. The
excitement throughout California was
intense. The trial followed and re-
suited in Terry's acquittal.
