Martin, and served as his deputy in the llecorder’s Office up to May 16, at which time he was competed to give up work on account ot sickness. On the 9th of June, he went out to his father’s home, at the advice of his physician, thinking it would he a benefit to his health. He died at 6 p. m. Stiurday last, Aug; S. On Sunday the 9th the remains were laid to rest ivhere his mother sleeps, jn the South Fork grave yard. His disease was pronounced to be the effects of LaGrippo which he had last Win t er a year ago.

New Albany, Ind., August 5.—A romantic aflalr in the West End of the city tame to light to-day. ’ ■ A few days ago a tall, lank specimen ot the genus homo from Oakland City, Ind., i>utin appearance in the city as the vender ir books. He put up at the Payton House, >n West Main street, giving the name ol Robinson. Here he met a pretty girliCfslC, iliss Pearl Heard, whose dainty.ways captured the heart of Robinson al. first sight. A young railroad brakemau named Asaxi 1 was very sweet on Pearl, but had not ret arrived at the point where matrimony eads to bliss. Sunday night Pearl heard he whistle of Asabel’s train and although ihe had retired for the night she arose and irrayetl herself in her best, confidentialy ixpectiug fiirn to call. Sure onough the inoek came and with a flutter of the heart die went to the door. Upon oiiening it what \as her surprise to meet Robinson instead if her true love. Kobinson at once fell at the feet of the idored Pearl, declared his love, proposing md was accepted. The next afternoon, ■gainst the protests ot mother and friends, Pearl and Robinson were married. On fuesdny, the day following the hasty marage, the girl repented her lolly, declaring she did not love Robison and would not live with him longer. The rejected lover had seen tier and urged ler to shake Robinson, saying that he would marry her as soon as. she could secure a iivorce. At last accounts peace was patched up, but it is safe to predict that a tinal separation is only a question of a Tew days or iveeks at most. (We understand that Mr. Robinson is not i book vender and that he had courted the (irl he married for over two years. He and bis bride reside at Oakland.)
