Two Jolly Couple Too Tlicntly Mar
ried by a Jolly Alderiiiatn.
IN. Y. World.
Three Brooklyn girls went with
others on a picnic to Spring Grove
last summer, accompanied by three
young men, and had a jolly time. An
alderman was at the picnic, and he
had a good time too. Somebody pro
posed that they should hare a mock
marriage, and the alderman consented
to perform it. The three young
ladies and three young men stood up,
each with ther respective witnesses.
The ceremony was performed, all
had a laueh,cieparated and went home.
Now, however, there is a serious as
pect given to the matter. It is held,
and plausibly enough, that the action
of the aiderman was legal and bind
ing, and that the parties are really
married according to the law of the
State.

evenings afterwards Mrs. Adams saw
Harker approaching, and fearing be
was coming to heat her, she ran into
the house and fastened the door. Har
ker approached and ordered her to
open it, when she told him to go
away, and threatened to shoot him if
he did not, He refused, and placing
hU head at a crack near the door,
dared herto shoot, when she fired on
him, the ball taking effect in his head,
trpm which he died on Tuesday last
Mrs. Adams afterwards made her
escape and has not been apprehended.
An Indiana Con ny Sensation.
The Johnstown (Pa.) Iribune says:

prosecutor was compelled to pay' the
costs. A few days ago the tenants
occupying the house in which the.
MeClqres resided at that time had
occasion to repair tho kitchen floor.

An old stager in the business of naval store
brokerage recited to us yesterday quite "an
amusing incident that came under his ob
servation, in connection with the business,
some time before the war. A gentleman
of this city, who was well known in those
days as one of our most successful brokers,
called at the office of a prominent mer
chant on a certain occasion to see him on
some business. An old English sea cap-
in matters pertaining to gentility, but a.
very clever old tar withal, was seated in
the office at the time, and after our friend,
the broker, had gone out he remarked to
the merchant that it was a little queer that
a strapping fellow like that (referring to the
broker) should be treated as a gentleman;
if he had his way with him he would put
him to work at something that would de
velop his muscle. "Whysaid he, "I've
seen that individual going about the streets
for several days past engaged in peddling
fiddle wax" The fact of the matter was
that he had met our friend several times
with his tin pan full of rosin samples, and at
that time had not fully comprehended the
usefulness of the article nor the importance
it had even then attained in commercial
circles.
A Word to Too, Sir, or Madam.
Would you "feel good" Christmas morn
ing ? Well, then go straightway and mail
a money order or fix up a box of nice sub
stantial things and send to the Orphans at
Oxford. To the average well-to-do man
about town we say, leave a 1 or a V, or, bet
ter, an X in cool currency with Dr. Everitt
or H. H. Munson for the use and ia behalf
of said fatherless ones, and our word for it
you will stand a quarter of an inch higher
next moming in your stocking feet, or what
there is of you will feel that much higher
for the deed.
Don't forget this.

We learn that J. F. Porter, now in jail

shall be secured to him at the expiration of
his sentence and that he shall suffer no
further annoyance on account of what has

Bed Men'a Ball.
The warriors of the Improved Order gy
rated through the measures of the buffalo
dance, corn dance, medicine dance, " and
all that, last night at least we suppose such
were such, as we don't know much about
the means of distinguishing the various
dances people indulge in now-a-days and
they had a right lively time of it, too; lit
erally made things smoke, and succeeded
in keeping even the sleepy-beads awake.
Many of the gentlemen on the floor were
not members of the Order and we presume
we may say the same of all the ladies, as
we understand the brethren never allow
ladies to assist at the grand scalping scenes
reserved only for the initiated. Dancing
was kept up to a late hour. Mr. C. H.
Gilbert furnished the supper, and served it
well. His department was decked out very
tastefully.
Temperance.
The mass meeting in the interest of tem
perance heretofore announced to take place
at Fifth street M E. Church was fairly at
tended, last night, and a society was or
ganized on the broad basis indicated in our
last, with the following officers:
Geo. R. French,' President.
Rev. J. M. Rhodes, 1st Vice President.
J. C. Millis, 2d Vice President
Moore, Secretary.
Mr. Henry C. Evans, pf Messrs.
Evans & Von Glahn, it seems, was visited
Dy a Durglar Monday night. He was
aroused by the noise and the thief took the
alarm and concluded to pursue his investi
gations else w here. We yesterday announced
that the residence of Mr. H. Yon Glahn
was visited by burglars on Monday night.
and as the thieves got nothing in either in
stance the partners seem to have shared
equally in the profits and losses of this
business.
Tha Oni.Door Poor.
Weuaderstand that the committee on Poor
oi tne xKtaraoi uounty commissioners nave
adopted the plan of only extending the
usual assistance in the way of monthly or
ders for provisions, etc., to the bedridden
and blind, of which latter there are now
some ten or twelve receiving regular aid
from this source. All others in the habit of
receiving assistance from the county are of
fered the alternative of going to the Poor
House; but, out of twenty or thirty who
have applied for aid during e past week,
and who have been proffered a ticket of
admission to the institution over which Dr.
Scott presides, not one has yet signified his
or her willingness to accept the proposition.
A Snaplclona circa matanee.
A fine steer was brought to market Tues
day, and, upon the man who had him in
charge being questioned pretty closely by
parties who had a suspicion that there was
something wrong, he took the animal in
front of a grocery store on Front street,
hitched him and vamoosed. The steer was
found yesterday morning as described,
having remained there all night without I
food or water, and was, taken to the city
pound. The animal is black, with white
stripe across back, and white belly and feet.
