from the surrounding country attracted
to Port Byron this morning to listen to
what might transpire in the sensational
case duplicating two young men of that
town and two dusky female companions.
The only one of the quartette arrested
for breaking into the school house was
Thos. Allen, whom Janitor Putnam
swore to positively r1cognizing-but
the others he was in doubt about. Allen
secured Maj. j. M. Beardsley to defend
him, and the major was on hand this
morning. Mr.. VIM. Jackson had been
retained by the prosecution, the school
board. The case came up before Justice
d. s. Hobart. A venire for twenty-fou
men from whom to select the jury had
been issued, but of the lot none were &C
cepted. and in consequence of the illness
of Jaritor Putnam, a postponement was
decided upon until next Monday morn
ing.
The discussion as to the guilt or inno>
cence af the respective parties, will
therefore be continued until that time at
least, and as public sentiment is said to
be about equally divided. the controversy
is likely to go on unchecked.
LAMBERT AND RIsBEN LOCKED UP.
Geo. Lambert and VIM. Risben were
arrested by Deputy Marshal Long and
Officers Hetter and Carlson last night for
assaulting and attempting to intimidate
three young men. who were accompany
ing some lady friends to- their homes.
Lambert represented himself as a police,
man and conducted himself in a manner
calculated to brighten the young men, and
then take advantage of their alarm.

A MODERN ROMANCE.
How - Greek Merchant Residing in Egypt
Secured - Wife.

How u Greek Merchant Residing in Egypt
Secured - Wife.
A Greek merchant of Alexandria in
Egypt, who made great deal of money.
unable to return to his country, but in
tent upon choosing a Grecian maiden
for his wife, writes to his correspondent
in Corinth at the bottom of his usual
business letter: FINALLY request you
to remit me. by returning steamer, a
young lady who might feel inclined to
become my wife. She need not be in
possession of any money, with which l
am sufficiently blessed, but a good repu-
tation, Of the age Of twenty-four or
twenty-five, O respectable family, good
looks health and temper and middle
sized figure. If the lady will bring me
the incloscd note with your kind ac-
ceptance you may feel assured that l
shall honor the same and make tho
bearer my wife"
Although somewhat astonished at
this singular order of his Alexandria
correspondent, the merchant of Corinth,
as a good business man, thought
best to fill it like any other received
from SO reliable customer, and to send
the merchandise demanded at short
notice. Having found q lady possessing
the required qualities, and willing to
transmit with the accepted check Of her
Unknown countryman her hand and
heart, the Corinthian took her aboard
the next steamer going to the country
OF the Pharaohs. At the same time he
notified his friend by telegraph OF the
precious shipment.
As soon as the boat anchored in tht
harbor Of Alexandria the matrimonions
Greek boarded it, to hear himself called
by name and see pretty young damsel
stepping up to him, saying: Il have a
check signed by you and hope you will
duly honor it." Never yet note OF
mine has gone to protest" replied the
blushing groom, and l shall not permit
this to happen to the one you hold.
shall be happy if in compensation you
will honor me with your hand"
A fortnight later the note was re-
deemed and the payer happy husband.
