TY YEARS OF WEARY
WAITING.
SCBKT
Not long ago there w_
the Gazette an allusion to
published in
u romance
winch had lor its home the village of
Dundee, in Yates county. Since that
time new and important deYelopments
have appeared in connection with thi|it
story, and we art) now enabled to lay be
fore our readers something of a connect
ed narrative of the events hinted at.
In 1855 a gentleman of high birth and
great wealth in England came to this
country to travel for pleasure and lio
aut * People of the New
World. In these rambles he came to the
quiet village of Dunde e, where he m&c(e
a homo for somo time) with a Baptist
clergyman named Curr ier. While theiie
i into compani. >nship with the
».laughter of a well-to- do gentleman lay
tho namo of Bliven. TI io girl was at thQt
time sixteen yeai's of a' re, handsome, en
gaging, and sensible. ' The acquaintance
soon ripened into a sort of romantic
triondship, and at la »t the foreigner,
whom we may as well designate by his
Proper name and title- -Sir John Gordon
T almadge—offered his bund to Candace,
which was accepted. 1 The direct narra
tive is to tho effect t fiat tho two weife
by Bev. Mr. ( Jurrier, who was
pledged to secrecy eon coming the maf
riagu for tho term of oi io year. The pat
ents of Candaco were n- A informed of tlie
action of their daugh itor, nor did the
knowledge of the secre t marriage come
to any of tho villagers. Soon aftei"ihp
wedding. Sir John left his young bride
and returned to his home across the
ter, having promised to record the
riage in due form us soon as ho should
arrive, and having additionally promised
that ho would return within the year and
take his wife to England.
The year wont past, and Sir John did
not come. Meantime Rev. Mr. Currier,
the only person in America besides the
young wife who knew of the transaction,
died, and his secret died with him. An
other year passed, and five, then ten, al
most twenty, and still the waited for
husband did not return to make good his
promises, nor did any tidings—-we under
stand—reach the ears of Candace con
cerning him. At lust, in March last, we
believe, through the instrumentality of
a personal advertisement in one of the
New York papers, the long silence was
broken, and tidings for which the Dun
deo bride, now grown to almost midd.'e
ago, had so long waited, were received.
It appeara that the return of Sir John
to England without his American wife
was for the purpose of arranging matters
satisfactorily with his parents, who he
knew would bo indisposed to recievo his
bride if she were taken to them without
nor knowledge of their son's step.—
hortly after his return homo that while
out riding with his mother one day his
horses took fright, ran away, threw the
two out, killing his mother, and very
seriously injuring Sir John. From this
affliction, however, he recovered partial
ly, and iu due time set out for America
to reclaim his wife. As if adverse fate
directed his every movements, when he
reached Liverpool he was taken severely
ill, and for a long time he lay vacillating,
as it were, between life and death.
Though recovering, his illness had so
preyed on him 1 hat lie became demented
in which condition ho lived all these years
unable to make known the object for
which he was journeying, when sickness
overtook him. In the latter part of last
winter sanity returned to the afflicted
man, but only for a short interval before
death relieved him of that life which had
been a burden. During this lucid inter
val recollections of his earlier life came
buck to him and the secret wife in Dun
dee was uppermost in his thoughts. He
made known to his brother, now Sir Al
fred Ta'iaage, tho true story of his mar
riage in this country, w bed his immense
fort une of $4,000,000, half to a brother and
a sister, and the other lia!f to his wife in
ease she might be found alive. He fur
ther pledged h is brother to send a special
messenger to America for the purpose of
hunting up his wife.
Iu pursuance of these pledgee, a mes
senger was, as early as possible after the
demise of S*v John, dispatched to this
country with instructions t<> find the
bride by advertisement or by personal
search. The advoi tiseing was done as wo
have seen, but the messenger, fo 11 owing
the direction given by the husband before
death, came from New- York to Dundee
soon after landing. At the latter place
he found tho parents of the lady, who di
rected him to Elm îv a, whero she was then
visiting. This was in the latter part of
May last. On arriving in this city the
messenger inquired for the residence of
Charles Roland, brother-in-law of tho
lady whom he sought. He repaired to tlia
gentleman's residence. No. 437 East
Water street, where lie found tho
long-woitiug and long-sought bride
of twenty years ago. The lady hap
pened to be alone at tlm time the
messenger en'h>d. Tho commingling
of astonishment, pleasure, and sorri
which contented for mastery as the sadly
romantic history of her long ago bride
groom was unfolded can be better im
agined than told .—film ira .Gwsette Any.

cat, and wore tho feline trnpliy in tri
umph In his belt. lie bad been reading
fractional currency literature and this
was the result, l.ast week he was a pi
rate, and hung thirteen cats to the yard
arms. This week he careers as an Indian
scout by cutting up his father's perfora
ted buskskln underclothes foi an Indian
suit, trimming It with beads from his
mother's velvet cloak, while her new
bonnet was demolished 10 secure the
ostrich feathers for bis head-dross.
This was a perilous week for the chil -
dren of the neighborhood, and If a boy
unguarded by bis father, ventured out,
Tompkins' boy, skulking behind sonin
tree, whizzed an arrow at his head;while
dogs were mercilessly treated as wolves,
and cats as panthers. It Is astonishing
how lively a boy of an aspiring mind can
make a neighborhood. But all these no
ble aspirations were lost upon Brown;
he was a man who road the Bible and
taught a c'ass iu Sunday School; und
how could he could be expected to ap
preciate the romantic sentiments of a
dime novel.
Brown was standing at big weod pile
the other evening, at sundown, when lie
was startled by a war whoop on the
oilier side, and there was Tompkins'
boy In iodian suit and red paint,draw
ing a bead with bow and arrow, on his
tine Brahma rooster; audjnai as the
ohicken popped over, Brown got over
on(th3 other side and got Tompkins'
boy by the ear. Now Brown was not
a violent man to pull a boy's hair all
out and jaw-hawk him around; liepo
sesses great palienre, and he just qui
etly lifted Tompkins' boy up by the
ear and slood him on tlio end of his
toes, while that ear stretched out like
a piece of India rubber that bad been
warmed by the lire, and he talked
with him quietly about his depravity
and pleaded witn him to abandon bis
bloodthirsty life,and let nie ambitious
In future years lend him to the honest
walk of polities. Brown then changed
off and took a fresh lift on tnoear with
his left hand, while he drew out a
Bible from hie coat pocket and read
the sermon on the Mount to Tomp
kins' boy. This reading did not iu
tereet Tompkins' boy,bis attention was
more parlioularly drawn to tbe nieely
with which he w . heltince.l on Ilia
with wU leb he » , balanced op uta
too.s by the aid of ids ear; but the
most pier , sut things grow tiresome
at last, and the novelty of his positiou
wearing off.lie «aid De had lo go home,

Dia BBpper was ready, and DIB mother
wantta .him to pick up chip» lot hor;
bo Brown gave him a catechism and
some tracts, and Jet him down slowly
so the effect would not be so nudden
on him, and as Tompkins' boy woqt
away home that ear atood up iu the
moonlight Ilka a finger board onthe]
crossroads, and old Tompkins had toi
r
bans: a two pound weight on it to draw
to its place,
That night Tompkins' boy walknd
the floor and swore revenge. Dab
blant the Brown's; he'd murder them
all, and hang their scalps on the fence
to dry! Yes, he'll kill the baby, too,
it had no business being a Ilrowu."
The next evening, as Brown came
home in the moonlight, he felt a dull
thud and a sharp pain in the calf of
his ifg, and stooping down,he pulled
out a sharp spike, and when he
straightened up he was uuder the
necessity of pulling another out of the
back of his neck. They came ihick
and fast, and kept, him busy pulling
them out of his back and arms, while
two of them went through his new
hat. He did not know what it meant
until he mw they were arrows, and
then the way he went for that Tom
kins' boy was lively. After a long
search he found lum in a fencocomm
and the fun began. Fortunately,Brown
hail a little rattr*i oano with him. He
took Tompkins' boy by the back or
the neck and the seat of his pants,
and laid him across the top rail of that
fence, and as every whack name down
Tompkins' boy Jumped sixteon inches
high. Brown's dande rup, and it was
the hottest engagement Tompkins' boy
was oyer in, and made him so soro
he'll have to sit down some other way
for the next wrok. Brown took all
those noble aspirations out of him, and
now he will never be tit for anything but
a Street Uommissiouer, and Brown lmd
to tie on nine pounds of fat bacon to save
himself from the lock jaw.
