EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE 4DVENTUI

The Liverpool press yesterday gave publicity to
ow of the strangest love edventans which have bees ,re•
corded by the newspaper, for Borne time. It appears that
a man whose lame it in unnecessary to mention, bat who
has for some time past resided in Manchester, pawed the
affections of a woman whose tame does out appear, lad
proposed matrimony to her. The man wee worth •• consi-
derable sum of money, and suggested to the *Went of hie
affections that after marriage they should enter into busi-
ness. The woman of course readily fell in with his views,
sod kept a sharp look oat for some eligible Meiosew in
which to engage. One offered in Liverpool, and thither our
hero betook himself with his lady, in order that they mitht
buy a "soft goods Meioses" wineh was advertised. YaF
tars having gone so far, the pair deemed that the smelly
of their loves rendered the marriage ceremony a sera ma-
volitional form, and accordingly occupied a sleeping
meet in Bultorietriset. Each night the MAW

the mattress of the bed, his companion the while
watching him with much interest. Oa Friday he wont
with the woman to procure a marriage license, and wee
about to open his pocket-book to take out a note to pay for
the document, when his future wife prevented hist, and
paid the aniouat herself. It was unused that they should
be married on Mooday, and on Saturday they returned to
Manchester and went to their respective homes. It appears
he bad not examined his notes since Friday. and when
opening his pocket-book in the evening be found that 440/.
' bed been abstracted and flimsy paper substituted to make
up the bulk. He at once preceded to the Manchester
police-station, and having procured the 'services of a de-
tective officer, the woman was taken into custody and con-
veyed to Liverpool. Upon their arrival the, e, be proposed
that if the officer would give up his prisoner he would
make her his wife. The detective at once consented, and
the woman having been set free, the pair proceeded to the
Old Church, where they were married, and satisfactorily
settled the monetary difficulty.
