This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives Stillinia. Man drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides of rotassizin and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined, that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still fo effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence mhich prominent physicians all over the coun try rpose in it, trove their experience of iu usefulness. I'trtifieates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are const, ntly being' r-Tfived. ar.d as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnUh convincing evidence of the superiority of tuL Sar saparilla over every other alterative medicine.

Ian knew it, but be had sot stirred from the old five-barred fence where be leaned, plucking the long grass rpeare ia the field on the other aide, and cbewtur tbem as though they ere raw natural food. His trousers were tucked ia bis boots. His coat was somewhere in doors, and bis straw bat bad a hole ir it o one, u a used to larmers' ways, could have guessed that, giving Dan his money value, be was wcrih more than many an exquisite promenading the o'Cewaik of 1- ifih Avenue. He bad a grand, well-tilled farm, a bank account of value, and a home stead as eolid as an old caotle, with its naaseive granite walls. - Vet, as be lounged there, chewing straws, be eaid to himself, with a kind of savage scowl : "I wonder what I was made for? I am nothing. I haven't got any iniog worm naving. h-very one is belter off thaa I. I wUh I was at the bottom of the mill-pond I do, bang it ! bat s the use of living each a life?" "It's just what I expected exactly my luck !" be ssid, savagely. "I've always bad it so. Other bovg bare had mothers mine died before I knew ber. Other boys bare bad sis ters I never bad cne. Xo woman erer cared for me or erer will, and why should tbey : A clumsy clod hopper, who knows nothing beyond sowing and reaping and driving the plow !

Xobodr erer loved me oobcdv ever wilL 1 wish I was dead." "Dan, tea is ready." "Cocfoand it I know it," mattered Pan, and he slouched in, old nurse Peabody greeting bim with a "lawful sates, ibings is cold. Why will you ebillyshallj so ? She sat pouring oat the tea, an old. grim iooKing woman, woo might bare been Jitde of cast iron, so bard were her features. After the first remark she said no thing more, bat helped Dan s she bad done ever since the time when she came to the farm to keep bonse and see to tbe motherless child and eat ber own supper in eilence. Dan eboreled bis in as only a Yan kee farmer cocld, learing no time to chew, and left tbe table tbe instant be was done. He was not in the habit of finding a social occasion in a meal at bis home. First be fed tbe "critters" and then himsflf in moca tbe same spirits. In his actions there was no tinge of romance in bis speech, much less. He was burly and brown, and had a way of answering strangers that made tbem ebr of speaking to bim a second time. First be started, then he paused, then pat answers into tbe shortest words capable of tbe longest abbre viations to be found in tbe English language, and mattered them with out looking at tbe party addressed, and all because, in bis inmost heart, be fancied that, do what be would, nobody coaid like bim, Lncy Lee, ia particular, who always seemed to bim tbe best and prettiest thing in tbe world, and as far above bim as the stars above the muddy earth. Her father was tbe village banker, a gentleman woo stood big ia tbe es timation of tbe best families ; and Lacy was accompbished, beautiful, and good. Bat for all, Dan Holloway need not hare despaired as be did, for Lncy, from ber pew in church, bad often cast a Jy glance at tbe brown, broad shouldered farmer, with bis glittering black carls and glowing cheeks, and thought bim the handsomest fellow there. So be acta ally was, in bis Sunday toilet, for to quote tie words of old nurse Teabody : "Dan Hollow ay became dressed." Once, too, when tbe don cow ia tbe meadow frightened Jaisa Lacy, Dan bad proved himself quite a hero, and omer had afterwards actually escorted ber home, though all be said waa : "Xot at all," when she thanked him. He was in bis Sundar dress, too, that morning, for be bad been in to town, and was just driving through tbe gate of bis own garden when the dun cow lowered ber horns He bad no lime to think what be should do, and done it all tbe better for that, and siace that time Miss Lucy bad liked bim more tbsn be fore. Sometimes going to the bank to depoeit money, or to draw some sum he needed Dan used to see her at the window, or in the garden, for tbe house and bank were next to each other, and then be always bowed, sometimes spoke just a few words, in his own Bulky way. But Lacy felt sure ibis apparent hulkioeas was only shyness, and that there was a great deal of good in Dan Holiowsy it one could bat came at it. For some months after the affair cf the cow she felt that be was quite a fi iend ; but even her good nature fail ed at last, and she was piqued by his constant silence into taking no notica of bim, unless it was absolutely ne cessary Other men admired ber, and it was abaa.'d to care for one who never took any notice of ber. Notice? Ab! If she bad only fctown. He used to steal acrots tbe fields at night and Bit under the great elm by the roadside, staring at tbe win dows of tbe bouse and wondering which room was hers. He used to watch her coming and from;, and once naa oeen so anxious to see ber ride away that he bad gone upon the roof of bis house and stayed up there till she and ber pretty black boree bad faded into a dark spot in the distance; and when she passed bim with some one else at ber side be felt himself tbe most miserable wretch in creation. "If she should erer marry," he said to himself, "I should bare to sell out and 0. I should, I'm sore. 1 couldn't stand it where I :oald see ber. Xo one of these fellows will lore her as well as I do, though she can't gse&s that." So tbe time passed on. Dan more and more in love, Lucr more and more indifferent, as Dan continued his sulky silence ; and young Morris, as every one called bim, because there were three older Morrises, grew deep er in her liking. She was not of a suspicious natare, ana she knew herself handsome; and it never entered her mind that the reputed wealth of ber father bad aDvthiog to do with this wooing or that, being poor, yonng Morris would have sooner thought of tbe plain Misses (ireen who were known to be greater heiresses than herself. She believed all that was said, and every look and action came from tbe heart; and when a girl once thinks herself beloved it is easy for ber to re tarn that lore. The thought of Mrs. Morris, once by no means attractive, grew pleas anter daily. Who would hare fancied that the ooeer. craitr-iooKing casnier, reter Apsley, whose nose and chip nearly met, who seldom SDoke, except on tbe subject of money and who was Lucy's grand detestation, should bare bad anything to do with ber destiny, es pecially when lore affairs were on the carpet. Bat so it was, thoagh no one bad guessed it, certainly not the thief himself. The night on which, eneakiDg down to the bank vaults from his little room in tbe upper floor, Mr. Apsley unlock ed the sale, and perpetrated a gigan tic robbery, was the turning point of Lucy's life. Bat for tnat, on tbe morrow she would bare accented bim, and found herself, in a month or so, Mrs. Mor ns. Bat for that for in the excitement of the boar tbe servant girl, who first heard the news, rushed all about Ap plebow with it, and over his break fast Mr. Morris heard that Lee, the banker, was rained. He started ep with a flash on his face and a matter, and set eff in the quest cf certain tidings. As far as he could learn, tbe girl's words were correct There would be a ran on tbe bank that day, and some were calling Lee a rascal already. Morris posted in hot baste to the bank, and drew bis ten thousand. He saw from tbe faces around bim that eometbing actually bad gone wrong, and beard from one or two present that Apsley bad positively decamped. In bis selfish heart be bad bat one thought joy that be bad pared bis money, and ttat be bad not already gone too far in bia courtship to draw back. The example of young Morris bad its effect. Everybody rushed to the bank to draw their savings. Tbe banker was in despair. Time would have saved him, but time be could not bare. There was one man's coming be dreaded more than that of any other, and that man was DanisI Holloway. There were twenty thousand dollars to bis account, and bis call for them on that day would bare been tbe fatal blow. Lucy knew this ; and when at bigb noon she saw Daa riding oo bis pet horse White Beauty up the road, ber heart sank. She bad no power to leare the garden paling, where she stood, and felt faint with an guish. He lied his horse to a post and came oa toward her. Close beside tbe gate he stopped and touched his hat "Good day, Misa Lucy," he re marked. "Good day," she faltered. "1 thought I'd speak to yon first," he said, looking anywhere but at her as be spoke. "There's trouble in there, ain't there ? and be nodded at the bank The tears fell from Lucy's eyea de spite all her efforts. "Is it serious ?" he asked. It seed aot be," said Lucy. "Papa says ae only one will fire afraid." oeeda time ; bat bo him that. They are set ESTABLIS H E D, 1 8 Q SOAIERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCT. 1, 1879. "That's.natural," said Dan. "Yes, but it necda't be," was Lu cy's reply, 5 "Please tell me alt about it," said Dan. ; y He looked at her, and she looked at bim. As well as sho could she told bim the exact truth. -1 He listened quietly. "Miss Lucy," he ( said, when tbe story was done. "Li think I under stand. I think it's all right with the old gentleman, and o fault of his if it isn't. Now tell me this if I don't draw my money, as I came to, won't it help it a bit? I . should think it would. Of course, I would not like to lose it. Bat I cannot believe that I will, bat, however, the truth now, shan't I ruin the bank if I draw my money ?" . "Yes," said Lucy, "you can rain cr yon can save a !''? "Then, by George !" said Daniel Holloway, "I won't ruin it. I'll trust in your father and go home. Good-bye, Miis Locy. Tell bim, please, it might keep! him from wor rying, and at bis age, worry does him no good." He turned away, but Lacy stopped him. i "How shall I thank you ?" she esid. I "Don't say anything," be said. "I've bad an old father, myself," and be tairly bolted, tearing Lucr in a state of mind altogether iodtscnb able. The ran continued ; but only for small sums, which be promptly paid ; and when Beat, the butcher, stopped on his way to tbe bank to warn Dan Holloway he found him ready to go to town. "As for drawing my money I shall not," eaid Dan. Let others be fools if they will." And Beal, who knew the sum that Daa bad there, actually faltered in his purpose and rode home. So matters grew more pleasant at the bank, and the hour of closing found no signs of failure. Before that hour Dan was in New York; something which be bad men tioced to no one, took htm there. On the previous week be bad business with the csptain of an ocean steamer lying at a certaia dock, and sat talk ing with him in the of&ce where pas sengers purchased tickets. As ne sat mere, bidden by a screen, be beard a voice be knew, and, looking around the desk, saw Apsley. He was engaging a passage for some one of the name of Smith, and came back twice to be sure of the boar for starting. As he departed, Dan also arose.and tbe cashier saw bim. He looked up in a startled, disconcerted way, and nodded. "Pleasant daj,It.-IIollowar.". he said ; "i're been engaging a passage for a friend. I should dread a sea royage." I should like one very much," said Dan. Ah, you are younger," said ilr. Apsley. "And then I am so sick woefully sea sick." There they bad parted, and Dan bad thought no more of the matter until to day. Xow he felt sure that for himself and no other bad the cashier engaged the passage. The day on which the vessel left pci t was the next the hour, sunrise. If be were right, he could overtake bim yet With this thought be traveled to New York, sought tbe proper author ities, and before dawn the next day he e'.ood in Bight of the great steam er. Its captain was.of coarse.on board. Daniel sent for bim. It ended by an introduction to a certain window looking upon the state room. "Is he a young man?" 'Xo, said Dan. Then be gave a start "By George, it is though in a red wig and spectacles, and a mustache that don't belong to bim !" and spoke so loudly that the toiduant Mr. Smith bearing, quickly made a dash shoreward, where bis progress was cat snort by the policemen there on guard. Late in tbe day the back of Lee & Co., was Bull continuing, a carriage stopped at the door, and Daa sprang from it, bis face beaming and bis eyes aglow. "Come for his money at last," groaned the banker, and stood mute and motionless as, marching into bis rery office, the young man doffed his bat Tbe banker cocld hardlr gasp "What can I do for yon?" " The answer was an unexpected one "You can come and take a look at Mr. Apsley, if you like ; we're got bim out there money and all," and then Dan told his story. So the bank was saved and not ruined, and Lucy, happy as a bird, could have kissed Daniel instead of merely shaking hands with him ; and be, conecions of having done good, and being really liked if only for that, was qnite a different person from sul ky Dan, who had no words to spare for anybody. Tbe banker would have him dine with bim thai day, and in tbe evening be walked with Lucy in tbe scented garden. The moon was rising, yel low and round, behind tbe dusky pop lars. "It will be a splendid night," eaid Dan. "Yes," said Lucy ; "and to think what a wretched night it might hare been for as." Daa looked at her. "The idea of yon beicr wretched," said be. "Why, I'd rather die myself than to think of it" Lncy shook ber head. So Morris had often said.and she knew all about bim by this time. "Dying, is no easy matter," she said. ' It is easier than living some times," said Dan ; "and believe me or not, I'd be willing to die to-night if I could be sure you would never hare a care." Lucy looked at him with tears ia her eyes, and something ia her face set Dan's shyness qnite to flight He caught her hand. "Lacy," said he, "if you could on ly like me well enough to be my wife, I'd do the beat man can to maktyou happy as long as I lire.1 7. Can't you? long I bare If yon only knew bow loved you, I think you He waited patiently ; bat she made no answer. A moment more be bent orer ber and kissed her, while she slyly kissed bim in turn. before long there was a wed dncr, and tbe world of Applebow went to church to witnees it, and a few wondered "what Miss Lee could see in Dan," and others whispered, "how well he looked, and how happy be seemed." And young Morris now engaged to plain Miss Green, wbo had tbe most money shut himself up that day with his cigars, under a plea of a bad toothache, and was in no pleas ant mood for long days after. As for the brief courtship, it was not repeuted of at leisure, for if there was a happy couple and a happy home tbev were to be found at tbe Holloway farm now happy and homelike as mortal dwelling may be. Why She Took a ftkal. About a week ago some young la dies got up a party to go on a moon light excursion up the Passaic river. The night finally arrived and the moon hooded field and river with a glow of pearly richness. hen the party waa ready to leare Lfie bouse wbicb had been appointed as tbe rendezrous, it was noticed tbat one of tbe most charming young ladies of the coterie had a shawl on. "What's the matter, Lucy ?" asked ooe young lady ; "are you afraid of taking cold:" "Xo, no," she replied. "Perhaps you are troubled with malarial:" suggested a young man. wbo wai struggling to direct his vi tality into a mustache. "I never have malaria," replied the pretty creature with a smile of gurn dropativeness. "Tbe thermometer is up at 863. "lou ll roast lo death it you wear that shawl." "I'm willing to roast," she sai3, pettishly. "Don't rou know why she wears that shawl V laughed ber little broth er, as he wiped some taffy off bis month with his coat sleeve. "You keep still, you John Henry," said tbe dear angel, as she turned a trifle red. The boy then got out of reach and yelled : "lil tell you why she wears that shawL When she gets out on the rirer Bob pats bis arm under it and bugs her, and nobody can see through the game." Then there was a scene. obn Henrv was scmmarilr sent to bd. and tbe party started for tbe scene of festirity. Xlaaaeel TaJeata. Says tbe New York Witness: Many a life has been lost because tbe left hand was neglected. Tbe large majority of men do not use a tithe of tho power they possess. Their talents are mostly in a napkin. Oje of the wealthiest men in Wall street to-day broke down in business a good many years ago. He weni into an office where be was acquainted, and said to the members of tbe firm tbat be had no bread for his family. "I'm ready to go messages for you, or per forrr any other serrice." He bung op bis coat there and commenced work around tbe lowest rung in tbe ladder. Previoufclr this man's check was accepted anywhere in the street. You may be sore such a man gradu ally mounted op. Over in Boston a likeminded man fell out He was without bread, and soon would be without shoes unless be waked up and stirred bis energies. He was a bookkeeper, and at one time earned a handsome salary. What did he do ? This be did: He took a cotton-hook and went down lo the wbarf to load and unload cotton at so much an hour. Behold, another man with grit Tbe owners of the cotton and the ship eyed this hero. Soon tbe de cree went forth, "Come up higher." He resumed tbe quill and laid aside tbe cotton hook. Discouragement never weakened the Boston boy.

Choice flowers are sent across the continent from California by a novel method, which is described as fol lows : A large potato of a California variety, tbe largest in the world, was cat in two and a part of the pulp scooped out of tbe centre of both pieces. Into the halves were laid the 'Occidental bloom,' and the po tato was joined together again with a strip of this paper about the edges. Tbe moisture from tbe potato kept the flowers fresh daring their journey, and their color was as beautiful on reaching their destination as when first plucked. The odor, however, was gone from the flowers, and they gare forth a decidedly 'Potatoish' scent We presume a scooped -oat pumpkin would answer tbe purpose equally as well, and afford greater room for storage. eraicl IBEXE'S AKTIOS. "And all must go? Can nothing be saved?" querulously questioned Mrs. Arthur, ber hands listlessly folded acroes her lap, her air betoken ing utter helplessness, as she looked pitifully toward tbe beautiful girl whom she addressed. ' "Nothing mamma," answered tbe latter, drawing nearer as she spoke and kneeling by tbe other side, while, she laid ber finger caressingly upon her mother's pale cheek "on ly is ; but papa's death has taught us how much that is. Don't worry, dearest I bone tbe sale will enable us to buy furniture more suitable to the few rooms until 1 can secure some pupils and get tbat which for a time must be our future home, a little home in tbe countrr where you are to lire surrounded bv birds and flow ers, and forget that the red flag ever waved from your door." They were brave words, bravely spoken so bravely as not to betray the effort they cost tbe speaker, Six months before Irene Arthur reigned a belle in her father's mag nificent home, when like a thunder bolt from s ciear summer sky, came that father's failure and death in quick succession, with tbe lessons only experience teaches, of friends deserting in tbe boar of need little br little seeing tbe necessity of standing alone and seeing hope drift- iqz fanner and further in the dis tance, until the present, with its ab solute emergencies roused her to ac tion. Tbe Email head, set so regally up on tbe slight, sloping shoulders, held itself more regally still ; the red, fail- curved lips were pressed more proud ly together, as Irene buckled oa her armor for the fray. The hardest part was over cow. Her mother had been told tbe worst which could befall them. She must now take her from the spot hallowed by memory, before the desecrating feet of Btrangera entered it A few days' search and she was remarked by finding in a quiet house a suite cf rooms which met at once her requirements, in sad contrast to tbe elegant luxuriance with which she had been surrounded ber life long, but where, at least her mother was saved the sight of the red nag, which seemed to her to be dyed in her heart's blood. "Is there nothing you would wish to save, Miss Arthur," questioned a Toice at her sile the morning of tbe sale. She turned baughtilytoward the stranger, but something in bis clear, bme eyes bent upon her witnessed tbe words held honest meaning. I beg your pardon, sir," ebe an swered, unable to disguise wholly the price these latter days had devel oped o forcibly "I have not tbe pleasure of your acquaintance." It u for me to beg pardon. I forgot I might not be known to you personally, although I am the auc tioneer apirointed by tbe estate. Your father once did me a great kindness, and I thought I would not seem intrusive, I should like very mucn to preserve any article vou may desire." "With many thanks sir, I desire to receive no favors," she replied, coldly, and passed on, to take one fleeting look ere she fled to the place 6he must now learn to call her home, to be haunted all day by the sound of the auctioneer's hammer and the voices of strangers desecrating the bails. Bat when ia the dusk of the even ing a cart stopped before the door, and one by one, articles hallowed by association her father's chair, ber own desk, ber mother's favorite pict ures were brought in, the feelings so long repassed gave war to a burst ot tears. Who had done this thing? For one moment tbe honest blue eyes that had met ber own tbat day rose before her. But, no, such delicacy belonged not to their owners rank in life. Nor was it a stranger's work. Some one must hare known ber well to have selected the few things it bad been such bitter warfare to part witn. They were, indeed, like old friends sent to comfort her, as, In the weary days teat foiloweC, her eyes wonld rest upon them in her bitter struggle for the daily necessities of life for herself the luxuries which to her mother bad become necessities. Business bad often before thrown her with Earl Kenneth, the owner of the blue eyes. There bad been mat ters connected with tbe sale wbicb compelled ber to meet bim, until be grew to her almost as a friend, and at times she would forget tbe social gulf wbicb separated tbem she, the once wealthy banker's daoghter; he a man who had risen from tbe ham blest ranks, bat whose soul was that of a nobleman. Tbe friends she bad once known she no longer knew. Tbey rode; she walked, and most stand on the curb to let their magnificent carriages drift by. Earl's cheery voice and pleasant smile her mother, too, grew to wel come, with the few choice flowers or the ealy fruit he erer laid so quietly ly in Mrs. Arthur's hand, growing daily paler and thinner. But one erening he sat by Irene's side alone. Very calmly, rery truly, yet with a certain humbleness, he told her he lored her, and asked her to become his wife. "I cannot bear to. Bee you strug gle," he said. "Once, as you well know, I could not ask yon to become my wife, and though i hare aot for gotten dear, that I am a man who has only honor and ambition, I yet ean take yoa from this life of toil, can shield yoa with my breast, can toil for yoa if yoa will give me the precious assurance I seek. Waa the man mad ? The pride she had forgotten in these quiet months now surged upward as she tamed toward him with pale face and spark ling eyes. "Sir, yoa insult me !" - "No man insults a woman with his hoaest lore. Miss Arthur," he an swered, the pride ia hers bearing its j reflex oa her face. "I lore yoa ! My lore yoa spam.

"Why does not Earl come ?" que tioneu the invalid. "I want to see him I mis' bim. Write, Irene, and tell him be must cU this evening to see ua." She wrote in obedience : "Mamma asks for yoa. She knows nothing, it yoa will drop in occasionally to aee her I shall be glad." It cost ber pride a struggle to send even this; bat was it possible it also brought a thrill of something like pleasure that she should meet bim once more ? Tbe week bad seemed strangely long without bim. Why had she thus answered bim ? Of course the tbinx he asked waa impossible ; but ab, how cruelly she bad spurred bim ! Had he forgottan it: She expectea some trace of sorrow on the hand some brow; but when he entered in obedience to her summons, the frank smile lit up bis face, as devoting him self to tbe invalid, be spoke to her only when courtesy required. "Men easily forget," she thought, and with the thought she gave a sigh. The winter wore lo an end, and slowly tbe invalid grew weaker and more weak. The shock had been greater than ber nervous system could bear, and she sank under it day by day, until tbe exertion ot moving from ber bed to her couch became too great, when, for the first time tbe realization burst upon ber daughter that she was soa to be left desolate indeed. Earl, during these moa'.h, came and went as of old ; bat sometimes Irene asked herself if his words to ber had not been a dream. Xot once did his eyes rest on ber with the old look not once did be hold for a single moment the little fin gers within his own ! and a sense of empty disappointment, none the less bitter because unacknowledged, brought to the proud young eyes many an unshed tear. tJut tbe bit terer sorrow waa in store, aa "the in vilid's rest approached more and more near, until the angel cf death stopped and gathered her to bis breast Earl waa there at tbe last, and as she lay so quietly on her pil lows they thought her spirit had fljwn she suddenly riu.-ed, and laid her daughter's hand in t ii "Take ber !" 6he sai '.

"Do not mind it ; she mean: only as a brother, Irene," be ?tid, i com fort, days after, to the . epii girl, and Irene wondered wby she could not as such accent it. So the weary days merged int j weeks, tbe weeks into months, and tbe proud young spirit lea-ned its own bitterness. She saw Eirl rare ly now there was no longer the ia valid's impatient demand upon Lis time. Some of the eld friends Lad ; come forward in this second hour of suffering; but through it all she missed him, and the thought tbat be bad learned forgetfalness brought her no comfort, She was thinking of bim one evening when Le entered the bouse. "I am going away, Miss Irene," he eaid. "Will you bid me God speed ?" The .M pride struggled for mac tery agaicst the cheking in the slen der throat, bat the words she strove to utter refused to come. "I have been studying law daring these years of bard work, and am now able to to wait for the practice I hope will come. Yoa will think of me some time?, Irene ; and if in trouble re member the words I once said; tbat I stand ready to act the part of a friend. Ii even this aekiog too much?" he added, as her silence continued. Had he then forgotten all his words the love Le had said was hers forever or did his pale ghost lie buried ? But she must speak ; she must not let him know. "Good-by," tbe faltered; then spite cf herself the words ebe bad thought locked in ber beart burst from ber. "Earl, do not go ; I can not bear it!" "Irene!" where had his icy indif ference fled now ? His face was pale; his voice trembled in its straggle for calmness. "What matters it to you ?"

Near Prospect, a station on the Chautauqua Lake railroad, about 8 miles northeast of MayriCe, in the State of New York, resides Mr. Al pha Barn ia the old "Fish-and-Barnes" homestead. Alpha Barns, until the last few years, wa alwayt known as "Fish-and-Barnu," from the fact that bis mother lired as wife to Hiram Fish and James Barns. Born late in the last century, ia Connecti cut, Hiram Fish came with bis pa rents to Oneida county, New York, and lired there until 1913.

What hia anxiety mu3t hnvo bteu these years no one can kuw. The chaf ing, of confinement, the insolence of captors, were heightened and inten sified by fears of the loss of the object of his heart Immediately on beiug liberated he hastened toward Rome, arriving there late in the day, Jaau ary 2G, 1318. No word having been received from bim for nearly four years, and supposing him to be dead, Amanda bad giren ber band to James Barnes, and oa that day (Jan uary 2G), but a little while before Fish arrived, the indissoluble union had been made. Ilia appearance at the time created the greatest confu sion. Amanda declared that she loved Fish and could not live with Barns. To make tbe best of aa un fortunate circumstance, Barns and Fish agreed to live with her aa their joint wife. Ia pursuance of tbt agreement the three, in August, ISIS, moved oa the Fish lands ia Chaut auqua county, and there lived togeth er for nearly fifty. year?, uotl the death of Barnes, which occurred Jan uary 13, lsGl, aodshe and Fish lived together until bia death, December 20,175.

Tbe mother always called and spoke of Barns aa "Mr. Barna," and it ia said never mentioned the name of Mr. Fiab,"aa she always called him, save with tears.

The clerk replied that there were only two vacant beds in tbe house, one, wherein was quar tered a Pittsburgh morning newspa per man ; and tbe ether, in a room wherein was a Pittsburgh erening newspaper man, who were with the excursion. 'To tell the troth, they are both pretty drunk, bo yoa may take your choice as to which room yoa will sleep in.'
