The down train of the Mississippi Central Railroad, on last Wednesday evening just after passing Toone’s Station, broke an axle of the tender and was detained all night. This detention would not have been noticed by us, in all probability, had it not been that a young friend of ours was aboard said train expecting and intending to be married on that night at Saulsbury. Well the train failed to come to time and so did he. However, he telegraphed to his “duck” to hold on until he could get there and she did hold on!
