Pined for Companionship.

A romantic story comes to us from the good town of Sidney. It says that an elderly widower called upon a friend there recently, and, in the course of the conversation, confided to him that he was very lonely. His children had grown up and gone, and he felt the need of companionship. The friend was equal to the emergency. He told the disconsolate widower of an excellent lady, a widow, his wife’s sister, who would be just the person of all to cheer up his home and make life really worth living. He ended by writing an invitation to his sister-in-law to come and visit at his home, and sent his friend to Waterville with it. They drove back together, and on the way entered into a marriage engagement. The wedding is expected soon.— [Augusta (Me.) Journal. San Francisco police carry lariats to stop runaway horses.
