AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.

MARRIED, at Lowther, England, on the
4th OF November, Mr.. RICHARD CLARKE
to Mrs. MARY MARTIN, widow, of the
parish of Moreland. There are some pc
culiarlties in this match deserving of re-
cord. The bride has attained the ven
cradle age of IS, and has only one eye.
thus practically realizing the idea of the
poet, being to her husbands faults a
"little blind" The bridegroom himself
is no chicken, having seen upwards Of
seventy six summers. He is also much
celebrated in his ghbourhood for the
universally of his genius, as exemplilied
IN the great number Of pursuits in which
he has engaged during his career He
began as tailor, and quilted that occu
patton for the more elegant profession OF
dancing master Growing tired Of trip
ping on the light fantastic toe, he hop
ped off in the rambling pursuits of a por-
ter; next, he turned piy-merchant, then
horse dealer, sixthly, he gave up horses
for the staff Of life, becoming brealbakcr;
and in addition to this useful occupation,
he now does : little in the way Of preach
ing! 1t is but Just, however, to observe
that in all his multifarious calines, he
has shown himself a clever, industrious,
honest man; and we wish him much iov
