“CONFIRMATION STRONG.”
How Chancellor Kent Extricated Him*
self from flic Hands of a Jealous
tVoodcliopper.
Early in June, 1815, says L. B.
Proctor, in the Buffalo Courier,
Chancellor Kent and his wife, in a
private carriage, left their home in
the City of New York on a tour to
the “Country of the Genesee," as
Western New York was then called.
At that time, though the distance
did not exceed three hundred and
seventy miles, the journey was more
toilsome, protracted and dangerous
than a trip from New Y'ork to Kan
sas, Dakota, Oregon, Colorado or
California now is. Canandaigua, or
Canadargua, as it was then called,
was a frontier town, surrounded by
an almost interminable forest, and
Buffalo a place that marked the
most distant boundary of the far,
far West.
On the fifth day of their journey
the travelers reached that then won
derful structure, Cayuga bridge,
placed there fifteen years previously
by the celebrated Manhattan Com
pany, of New York City.
Crossing the bridge the travelers
continued their journey, hoping to
reach Canandaigua before night.
But unfortunately the Chancellor
mistook the road he had been in
structed to take, lost his way, and
night overtook him while yet many
miles from his place of destination.
As he was naturally adventurous
and daring, the deep, dark wood
lands around gave him no fears.
Not so with Mrs. Kent. Her life
had been spent in the City of New
York. The Chancellor urged his
weary horses onward with the hope
of gaining some place of safety and
shelter for the same night, while
his wife clung In great terror to his
arm.
But the darkness Soon became so
deep that it was impossible to pro
ceed, and the travelers believed
themselves doomed to spend the
night in the open forest exposed to
all of its horrors and dangers. But
just as Kent brought his horses to
:i halt, ft light suddenly gleamed
out of the interstices between the
trees, a short distance ahead. Push
ing onward once more, the trave
lers found themselves in a few mo
ments in front of a comfortable log
house standing near the roadside.
A woman apparently thirty years
of age, with a lighted caudle in her
hand, comes to the door.
“My good woman, myself and my
wife, the lady in the carriage with
me, are travelers on our way to
Canandaigua, but we have lost the
way; night is upon us and we can
go no further. Can you give us
shelter for the night, some supper,
and something for our horses?" ask
ed Kent.
“We are poor folks,” said the wo
man, “and I’m alone. My man is
chopping wood over in the Billings
settlement, three miles oft’, and he
won’t be home in an hour. You are
strangers and I don’t —but you look
like respectable people, and 1 guess
you can stay here. I’ll give you
something to eat if it ain’t quite so
good, and I’ll fodder your horses
too. Your woman there had better
git out and come in, while I put the
horses in the stable.”
Mrs. Kent obeyed. With the help
of Kent the horses were unharness
ed, led to the stable and fed. In a
short time the woman prepared a
homely but acceptable supper for
her guests. When the meal was
finished she said:
“I spose you’re tired and want to
go to bed. That’s our bed in the
corner there, but you can sleep on
it to-night. I and my man can
sleep . overhead. I’ll just set his
supper on the table; when he comes
in he’ll eat it, but he won’t disturb
you; then he’ll come to bed where
I am.”
So saying she placed her man’s
evening repast on the table, lit an
other candle, then ascended a lad
der leading to a sort of scuttle
hole, through which she crawled.
In a few moments she was in bed
lost in sleep.
The travelers also retired to rest.
“Tired nature” 1 u Tied them swift
ly on to the land of dreams. Sud
denly the Chancellor started up,
exclaiming:
“Bessie, that outside door is not
fastened. Presently the man of
the house will return, and seeing
me in bed here with you, he will of
course think you are his wife, and,
Bessie, he won’t relish that. Being
a wood-chopper, he will have his
ax with him, and before I can ex
plain matters, the Chancellor of
this State will stand a pretty good
chance to get himself chopped to
pieces—not a pleasant thing to
think of, Bessie.”
$2,50 A YEAS.
“It is a bad matter. While he
is chopping you up he may include
me in the exercise. What can you
do ?” said Mrs. Kent.
> “I tell you, Bessie, what I’ll do.
I’ll push that table against the
door. When the man comes it will
take him some little time to remove
it. While he is doing so I can ex
plain matters to him,” said the
Chancellor.
Accordingly he arose, took hold
of the table to push it against the
door. While in the act he heard
heavy footsteps approaching; the
next instant a man of gigantic size,
in his shirt-sleeves, wearing a bear
skin cap on his head, pushed open
the door and entered the room.
The first object that greeted his
sight was the Chancellor, with no
clothing on him but his shirt. Glan
cing at the bed, he saw' as lie sup
posed, his wife there, and the situa
tion became painfully apparent to
him. Furious with jealousy lie ex
claimed :
“Who the devil are you, in my
house in your shirt-tail this time of
night? Damn you! I-’ve caught
you, whoever you are!”
Kent, trying to explain matters.
“It’s all right. I am—”
“All right! All right! you be
damned,” thundered the man. “I
see—didn’t expect me home.
Thought you’d fasten me out when
I did come —was going to have
things all your own way here, hey?
But I caught you—happened around
at the nick of time.”
“Pray let me explain, sir,” said
the Chancellor. “Myself and my
wife there—”
< “Your wife! Your wife! Good
God! W hat a bold cuss you are. I
know who you are now. You’re
Sam Flieknor, that used to court
my wife, as I heard tell. Now, Flick
ner, w hat have you to say /or your
self, you cuss?”
“My name is not Flickner. It is
James Kent. lam the Chancellor
of the State of New York. That is
my wife Bessie, that is in bed there.
Your wife is up stairs all right. Here
is your supper on the table. Eat it,
for gracious sake!" said Kent in a
hurried manner.
“Chancellor of the State of New'
York hey ? What the devil is the
Chancellor of the State doing in my
house this time of night in liis
shirt-tail ? Damn pretty Way to
get out of a scrape—lay it to the
Chancellor of the State, hey ? If he
had caught you in his house as I’ve
caught you, he’d chancel you. I
say, you are Sam Flickner and I'll
lick hell out of you,” said the man
advancing towards Kent with a fist
that looked like a sledge hammer.
At this critical moment his wife put
her head down the hatchway, ex
claiming, “Hold on Jim! I’m up
here all right; he liaint been near
me, and I’m all straight and right.
They have lost their way, I guess
they are good folks, and I’ve given
’em our bed; eat your supper and
come up here to bed; don’t make
such a bear of yourself. If I hadn’t
been sound asleep when you came
all this fuss wouldn’t have happen
ed.” This address brought things
to a proper understanding. The
man apologized for his hastiness;
said he “didn’t beleive his wife was
that kind of a woman, though at
first things looked awfully against
her; besides that, he knowed Sam
Flickner was a cuss.”
The Chancellor went to bed. The
man sat down to his supper, and
w hen it was finished he retired qui
etly to his bed up stairs; and soon
all the inmates of the house w r ere
wrapped in slumber. The next
morning the hostess, prepared her
guests a comfortable breakfast.
Her man repeated his apologies
of the last night, gave them careful
directions regarding their road, and
with many good washes bade them
adieu. A few hours ride brought
them to Canandaigua, where they
became the guests of John C. Spen
