knot, lived on the south side of this
creek. As the iates would have it.
heavy rains fell the night previous tc
the nuptial day, which rendered the
creek impossible. Its waters were
rising, and its current becoming more
rapid every hour. The clergyman
arfiv Cd at the time appointed at u
POINT where he had been in the habit
o. fording the creek; but it was as
much rs his life was worth to at
tempt to ford it on this occasion. He
turned his horses head to return,
when he was hailed by two voices
on the opposite side OF the stream
they were those Of the bride and
groom, who engaged him to stay.
After some debate it was agreed that
the ceremony should proceed. In
the mean time the friends Of the be-
'trothed arrived from the brides house
in the neighborhood. Then was pre-
sented singular a spectacle, 'the like
whereof was never seen before, and
probably will not be again. The do
mimic read the marriage service, on
the margin Of the creek, while the
parties stood on the opposite side. Az
ter the ceremony was over, the groom
tossed few guilders across the creek
which the Dominic picked up and
pocketed as his fee, mounted his
horse, and proceeded homeward, and
the married couple did the same.
A Plea OF" NoLo CoNrENDERE."-)
A native Of the Emerald Isle, being
brought before a court in Massachu-
sets, for assault and battery, was as
ked il he was guilty or not guilty!

The court answering this in the
negative. Pat was a liftlc at a loss
what to say. He did not like the
word guilty; and yet he gloried too
much in his character Of a boxer. to
wish to deny the charge. While he
was hesitating what to say, a gentle
man Of the bar whispered to him to
put in plea Of 6 Nolo Contendere."
"NOllegen tender yer' said the l.
rishman, who was better acquainted
with the shelalah than with law Latin,
"what's the manin Nv thatr'
"Thc meaning is, that you'll not
contend with the country" said the
lawyer
"Nollegen tender ye," said the ac-
cuscd, turning to the bench-''that is
to say, iii not contend wild the whole
country; but be J-s!" splitting on {
