A gentleman of this town was considera-

paper addressed In familiar handwriting.
He hastened to learn It's contents and close

Fairness only allows US to quote a sentence
therefrom: zone young lady seized gen
tleman at her side and threw her arms
around his neck The young lady is
prominently identified with educational
matters and is at all times dignified, and
reserved. 1t is strange, therefore, to notice
into what ludicrous predicaments fright
win sometimes precfpitate the fair sex.
