 A young lady and gentleman who are enjoying sojourn on Newtown street, have been receiving many com pllments, etc, upon their marrow es- cape last Saturday while they were out on a fishing expedition on the banks of the Pootatuck, on the upper side of the Black Bridge in the Glen. The young man felt nibble on his bait after patient waiting, and wheth- CT he had 8 monster fish or became so elated over his seeming luck can not be ascertained. However, down the steep bank he slid into the calm dark waters of the little stream which has quite depth at that point. With quick wit his companion, who is a young lady of calm disposition, went to the rescue, but unfortunately her efforts were futile. Persons passing in the vicinity thought their call for assistance only a joke and proceeded on their way. Finally George Burr passed along with his meat wagon, when the much distressed couple con- vinced him they were in trouble, and he went to the rescue with the result that before he could extricate the young gent from his perilous position he was obliged to, on account of the steep high bank, cut down a good sized tree thus assisting the young man to shore. The young lady while doing her best had both feet submerg- ed, but otherwise took in the humer- ous side of the unusual situation. They were conveyed home by auto through the kindness of Dr. F. J. Gale.
