In connection with the recent Hmu'.l pox acart to told quite an interwtlng and romantic little atory of a young Arena.n woman who rontnuTed thto malady elsewhere and was brought here for treatment. Tho young tolly In question received a tetter from her Aanqe, who had gone j to war. that/he had a furlough and would soer.d U with her and his fam ily ]n hto eagerness to economise hia time ho naked her to m et him at hto mother'* homo In Mldvlllc. Thto she did, bat before ho left the train he discovered and wrote them that he had broken out with wbat ho thought was measlca and that' probably he had best not come homo. They, however, wore not at all nfrald of catching measles and told him to come on Immediately Thto ho did and it wa* discovered that be bad a genuine ease of smallpox and two of tho family and hto sweetheart contracted the disease from him. Tho elate of hto feelings can bo imagined when this tody without knowing h#r malady was sent here for treat moat and was at once taken to the [rest house. Her case was very light, nnd after an Illness of four weeks she was ytwterdav dismissed, her clothing thor oughly fumigated and Is again quite we'l. The awewthearte are, If possi ble, even more fond of each other than heretofore from the fact of their hav ing passed through the same dread ex perience at the same time.

On the first of May thto year the horse wai shipped to the trainer, Thay i #r, at 1-exlnglon.

To re surface with ravel or broken s'onr the driveway on either s.de of the green will be to make It possible for a drive down thto moat lovely of street* to be at leait endurable. Jn*t now the mud hole* and uneven place* cause the*# on pleasure bent to direct th#ir horses’ h#ad* to any place In prefer ence to thto which would most natur ally be selected. Beauty a* well as utility would be served by sodding the green on either *lde. and curbing It with a terrace effect. Down the centre should be a bard gravel path for cyclists and pe destrians First of all. though, the posts down the centre of the green must be moved. Not only are they un sightly In the extreme, but they are exceedingly dangerous to cyclists, and have caused more than one really ser ious tumble. It has been estimated by those who are In a position to understand these things that SIO,OOO or $15,000 will be required to make these much needed improvements. There is a movement on foqt to make an appropriation for this purgkis* next year, and it is prob able that it will be done, and (hat lower Broad will be included in the improvement. TODAY’S MARKETS.
