DAILY ADVERTISER Elmira, Chemung Co, N.Y. Friday, March 21, 1879 PERONAL Editor TAYLOR, of the SUN, is happy. Francis MURPHY is doing temperance work in Kansas The TIOGA EXPRESS states that Dr. JENNINGS, formerly of Wlmira, now lives at Arnot (NY). Mr. John Smith HOFFMAN, who has been quite ill for the past ten days: is, we are very glad to hear, improving. T. A. RICHARDSON, of Elmira, a member of the Commerical Travlers' Association, is the guest of Mr. A. T. NYE, on East Fayette street----Syracuse JOURNAL Andrew JACKSON one of the Georgia Minstrels, was arrested in Rochester on Tuesday for stealing $150 from Pittston man named BELLMAN. The arrest was made by Mr. BROWN, one of the Lehigh Valley Railroad detectives. The little daughter of Mrs. Jennie MARSH, of Waverly, visiting in Elmira, from whose throat those ugly looking "diphtheritic worms" were taken, is well nigh recovered. Mrs. MARSH, who contracted the disease from her daughter, and who had it quite severely, is also recovering. J.D. PAYNE returned on Friday night last from a two weeks trip to Kansas, visiting friends and looking after his interests in that State. J.D. is one of the institutions of our village and when he's gone, we miss him.--Watkins DEMOCRAT. Should think you would. Martin L. FOSTER, who for some time past has been a resident of Elmira, has recently removed to Watkins, where he has been employed to lead and instruct the Watkins Cornet Band. Mr. Foster has attained a very enviable reputation as a solo cornetist, having filled quite an extensive engagement with the HUMMEL Family on their concert tours, and has been heard by many Elmira audiences with much pleasure. Thus Elmira loses a fine young musician and a much respected citizen. But our loss is a gain to Watkins, where Mr. FOSTER will make his future home. May success crown him.

After some words ACURRY shot PORTER dead and wounded BARRYMORE dangerously. PORTER and BARRYMORE were unmarried. CURRY was jailed. SHE CAN, BUT SHE WON'T Few girls, when they have a chance to sum up a case to a young man, know exactly how to do it. The following example, taken from the Louisville JOURNAL, may be of use: "You have asked me pointedly if I can marry you, and I have answered you pointedly that I can. I can marry a man who makes love to a different girl every month. I can marry a man whose main occupation seems to be to join in a gauntlet in front of churches and theatres, and comment audibly on the people who are compelled to pass through it. I can marry a man whose only means of support is an aged father. I can marry a man who boasts that any girl can be won with help of a good tailor and an expert tongue. I can marry such a man, but I w-o-n-t!" submitted by Pat Wainwright
