A REMARKABLE WEDDINO.
A remarkable wedding took place on the stage of
the Buckingham Theatre in Louisville last month,
when Mr. John Zonaris, better known as Mpr
Mite, thi. ty years of age, and forty-two inches high,
was solemnly married ta Miss Marie Neil, aged
thirty-three, whose height is inly thirty-oue inches.
This pair of midgets, who have been travelling all
over the world for e-veral years, fell in love with each
other when on exhibiti on at Pittsburg three mouths
ago, chiefly, it would seem, because they wore both of
• size, and it must ne admitted the area of choice of
such dwarfs is exceedingly limited. On the occasion of
this stage weilaing a great crowd ...ambled in the
theatre. At nine o'clock the curtain waa roll d
up, disclosing a stage set after the style of
a fashionable drawiag-rooni. After "The Marriage
Bells" bad been sung, Judge H. B. H 'Se,
of the Probite Curt, cams upon the stage in
evening dr.... He was followed by the brides-
maids. The little bride was attired in a dress of white
satin, with Court train, and wore pearl ornaments. A
long white veil, interwoven with orange blossoms, fell
gracefully over her shoulders until it touolied the fi o or.
Her tiny bands were encased in fourteen button white
kid gloves and her feet in satin slippers. Toe latter
were No. 6, children'. six,. The groom wore the
conventional suit of black broad 0101.12, with patent
leather pumps and white kid gloves. A few moments
after nine o'clock the manager a daughter came upon
the stage with the licence, which she handed to Judge
Hoke, who promptly performed the ceremony, and
concluded it by kissing the trkle. Then amid the
wildest applauee the curtain went down upon the
fad y-like scene.

ARAM OF THF " K 124 ti " EICITIN a SCIFT.I.

Late on Sunday night hese Smith, the King of a
notorious gipsy tribe, or family, well known through.
out Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, sod
Staffordshire, was arrested at Yardley Wool, near
Shirley, for a desperate outrage on the keeper of the
"pound" at Milverton. A son of the prisoner was
also arrested on the same charge, after bring pursued
several miles. The elder prisoner, together with
several son., daughter*, and clearnffiterisdn-law and
grandchildren' altogether numbering about a hundred
persona, have for years 1.1 • thorough gipsy life, his
lug four large caravans. About the middle of last week.
when the tribe of "Smith family" were encamped be.
tween Coventry and Leasningtou an attempt was
made by the keeper of the " pound" to imp und
some of the gipsiee horses which had strayed urom
the highway. The attempt was, however, On.
successful, the gipsies severely assaulting the
pound-keeper, nearly breaking one arm, heal lee
seriously ii jilting him abut the Ice ani
bead and I,IV him iorae,..dile. hum -
dietely af er the o itrage the Snidh and the fl
who had beau arrested abecouded. The police being
informed of the occurren:e at once sooursi the country,
but without any satisfactory result, and up Ving
early next morning to the place of the encampment,
found to their sump ice that all the caravans, together
with their occupants, had gone away. Telegraphi:
c •mmunication was at once opened with the police-
stations within a radius, the renl'. being the discov,ry
that the elvish,s hal trausferred their encampment to
a rural place a few miles from Rugby. Sergeant
Hawke* and Sergeant Court, if the Kenilworth
division of the Warwickehire concabulsry, at 0006
made for the encampment, and up in recogni.ing the
" king" and other of the aasailante, weds an attempt
to arrest them. Tne eipsies now turned uut in a body,
and pelting the officers with stones and striking them
with railugs, c mord the, to retreat. The officers
went as fast as the/ c odd to Rugby, returning t the
encampment with a large body of p dice. To their
astonishment, however, they found on their retail
that the gipeies bad disappeared. Despite the viril.nt
search ma& by the police, nothing was heard of Smith
or his family until Monate, when Impactor Carlini,
of Solihull, and S.rigesdet Cale, of Shirley, found the
caravahs were near Yardley Wood, about &quarter of
a mile from the metallurgical works of Mr. Webster.
As was the 0160 at Rugby, the officers found the
gipeies too strong for them and hastened back to
Shirley, where Mr. Thompson, of the Saracen's Herd,
kindly p;ovi led vehicles in order to fetch police officers
from various parte of the county. The arrival of one
of Mr. Thompron's "ft ea...," carrying seven policemen
In uniform naturally caused great exoitem-ut among
the inhabitants of Shirley, the total number ~f the
police force in that place • slog one offices. The 101103
proceosion, to take by storm the encampment, was
followed by hundreds of peptic's, no oue appiersetlY
knowing the reason if the wholesale presence of pities.
Under o =mead of Inspector Civil., the police made
• cordon around the sue impineut, up in seeing which
the gipeles, some who we e wanted," and others wh
were flit, male a stampede. Two of the " king s
sons, named Isaiah and Micah, after being pursued a
long distance dived into the canal,
swimming rice es
and escaping, the offioers not venturiog to fol ow.
Several arrest, were ma le, but the two ineetioned
were alone detained though the police cap ct shoal,
to make further arrests of members of the gip.), Until,.
The two men in custody were on Sunday night taken
han 'cuffed from Shirley to Solihull, anl were oe
Monday removed to Milverton, an I were brought ap
On Tuesday. The " " strongly objected to being
arrested, and it was only after a sharp struggle, le
which he g et the worst of the encounter judging from
his bleeding face, that be was secured.
