One stormy/day in March Mr.. and Mrs
Adams were called TO town to attend to
a matter of very important business. AS
the early thaws had caused the river to
rise beyond its usual depths and wash
away the small bridge which had served
the farmers in that vicinity. Mr.. and Mrs.
d Adams were obliged to cross the river in
a small rowbOat or ride seven miles out
Of their way to cross over by a large and
secure bridge. They were somewhat in a
hurry to reach town and decided upon

across with them and row the boat back

While preparing to depart with his
parents, Henry called out to his sister:

receiving the highest number of electoral
votes was elected President, while the
candidate who received the next highest

candidate, in 1872, with James Madi-
son. Madison received 12S electoral votes.

two instances-Gerry and Calhoun-are
the only ores in which the successful
