A Real Romance.

Ox the 30th ult. Sylvester Guiberson, a son of N. W. Guiberson, of this city, was married to Miss Minnie Waters, of Excelsior, Minn., and this is the way it happened: A young gentleman and Miss Waters were on the lake skating, when suddenly the ice gave way and they were treated to a remarkably deep and cold bath. Three big cowards stood near them but would lend no assistance. Mr. Guibertson was a quarter of a mile distant, but heard their cries of distress, rushed to the scene, at once comprehended the situation, and in a moment proceeded to rescue the young lady, who was almost drowned and frozen, and on arriving at the shore informed the three cowardly whelps that if they did not go and get her youiig companion he would throw each one in after him—an order they at once obeyed. Mr. Guibertson carried his young prize to the nearest house, where she yras properly cared for, and as soon as she was able he escorted her to her home. This was enough for the old, aunt of the young lass, and straightway the courtship began which culminated in their marriage.— Winterset (Iowa) News. Since the adoption of our new divorce laws widows are not as thick as they used to be. Now and then, however, one ropes in her victim as Cbadizah rpped in Mahomet; for a while the victim struggles frantically against his fate, then sinks into its depths “ with bubbling groan,” and all again is still.— Brooklyn Argus. >1:
