A Remarkable Narrative.
A most ovontful and instructivo
porsonal hiHtory has como t our
knowlodgo, mainly tlirough tho Htato
monts of a lady, now far ad van cod iu
years, and still living in this Stato.
who was formerly it riwident of Lo-k-port,
and tho wifo of a practicing
physician of that place. iSho is per
sonally known to tho Country den-.
tUman, and rolianco may bo placod
in all hor statoments.
The occurrouens roforrod to began
about 1823 or 18. 1, whou tho great
exoavatiou for the Erie Canal through
the solid rock for milos at Lockport
was in progross, under tho super
vision of David Thomas as Chief En
ginoor, and of which Darius Com
Htock, a widely-knowu eiticon, was
ono of tho largost contractors.
Tho physiciuu to whom wo have
roforrod roturnod ono day from his
visiting rouuds under a good deal of
oxeitnmout, and oxclaimod to his
wifo, "1 havo visited to-day. in a
poor Iritihiuau's but, tho moHt beau
tiful womau I ever saw in in my lifo.
Sho is very sick her coso must bo
an extraordinary one and you mimt
go and see what yon can do for her."
The wifo cousoutod to go, and on
ontering ono of tho most poverty
stricken hovuls sho had ever seen
tho Uoor of baro earth, tho door cut
partly down through tho lag sides,
so that on entering it was noooHHiirv
to stop ovor tho logs that were left
sho found tho sick woman king on
a bod of straw, supportod on rough
polos, which constituted the bed
stead, riho was young iu years, ami
trouble bad not obliterated tho sur
passing beauty nor tho retiuod ex
pression of hor couiittuanco. Tho
languago sho nsod indicated a high
anil excellent education, and sho had
evidently boon brought up in gouteel
society, notwithstanding tho utter
destitution of hor present surround
ings. Her husband, a young man
recently front Ireland, was a day
lnboror, employed by Darius Corn
stock and Otis Hathaway, his as
sistant, in excavating tho bod of tho
caual. Tho sick woman was, of
course, ad verso to giving any account
of their history to a stranger, but
after several visits tho physician's j
wifo socurod her oonfidouoo, and sho
related their romarkablo history in
substauoe as follows i
She was tho daughter of a gentle
man in Ireland, in rank bat littlo
below nobility, nnr father employ
ed as clerk and steward a young man
named John of rare attain
ments and ability. Tho goutloman's
daughter and tho young steward
formed a mutual attachment, bnt as
he was below hor in rank, notwith
standing his high character, tho
father would not hston a moment to
anything of tho kind, and seeing
what was going on, dismissod him
from his service. But tho attach
ment was too strong to Lo quenchod
by a mandate. - W bon too young
lady and her lovor found thoro was
no othor rosouroe, thoy concluded to
got married and "run away." With
his scanty means and ' what little
property of Lor own she could se
cure, they started for Qubeo, in Can
ada. The ship was wrecked in the
St. Lawronoo, and thoy barely es
caped with their lives. All thoir ef
fects and money went to the bottom
of the wide river. Thoir condition
was desolate enough, without means,
without exporienoo, unaccustomed to
hardship, and iu an unknown oountry
to strangers. IIo was compelled to
labor by the day to keop them from
starring He became nttorly dis
eouragpd, and through the entioo
moots of bdi companions he resorted
to driuking. In this state thoy found
thoir way to Lookport a place where
many laborors were wan tod at that
time foT excavating the caiuil, and
where he could obtnia ewployuiout

It was hero that his yonng wife, un
ncctiRtomod to such aouumttlatod
hai'dnhips and privations was pron
tratod on a nick bed, and in this con
lition was found by tho phyaii'iau
and bin wifo, ns already rotated.
It wan about tbo samn timo, or bo

contraotors who employed him, ob
norvod that tho young man had not

which ho had undertaken, mid that
in handling tho heavy crowbar, and
in wheeling tho loaded barrow, tho
blood oozed from bis fitigors. A fuw
lays afterward, whon pay day ar-
rivod, ho signo.1 the roeeipt for bin
wages by tho usual "erosH, or his
mark," used by tbo Irinti Ialorers
genorally. In tho course of a few

John was Htting by this reproof.

stepping forwaM, ho took tho pott
and signed his naino in a rapid,
prantioovl, and elogant band. Hw ;
omployors wore aHtouinliod, and said
to him, "John this is not the place
for thoo stop driukiug, and wo will
take thoo into our employ as clerk,

Thoco wore tho first kind and help

a circus was to show that night,niado
a bot that ho could puss overy one of
a party of thirty, who had como over

wager being accepted, tho party was
marshalled and procoe.lod to tuo
tent, whore tho doorkoepor was busi
ly ongagod taking tickets from all
who passed through tha aporture iu
the canvas. Coming np with tho
crowd, tho drummer rushed np to
tho tickotrtakor with bis hand full of
cards, and said :
"Just count those men as they
pass in, ending with tho one iu tho

"Cortainly, sir," said tho Oorberas,

by him and mingled with tho crowd,
till tho straw hat was reached, whou
ha shouted ''thlrty-ouo I" and turned
rouud for tho tickets. Bat tho polito
individual who bade him enumerate
had, vanished, while the party who was
orownod with the straw bat, tbe only
one who was stopped before he had
miugled with an melted into the in-
disttngutsliable mass of the crowd in

Tho ticket taker ooaldn't leave bie
post, for tbe ingress of regular spec

best of it, and said nothing. Ho had
