There was a wedding at Westport
yesterday, and the welded couple started
in one Of Perry's landaus to take the
5.45 train from New Bedford. When
near Bliss corner one of the horses was
affected with paralysis, and a message
was sent to the stable for a relay. On
the arrival of a fresh horse the disabled
animal was left by the roadside and the
journey was resumed. In order to ac-
commodate the party the train was held
