A LOVE FREAK

We heard of strange marriage which cams

ties were doubtless pleasantly and others ,un-
pleasantly disappointed. A young lady, a resi-
dent OF our sister city, was TO have been married
to young man who resides on this side, and to
whom she had been for some time engaged. ~.
But 1t seems the lady fair was not particularly
partial 10 the swain to whom she was Setrothed,
and so decked in her bridal robes, she left her
fathers house and came over to this side Of the
river, in order if possible to avoid the tieng ofths
silken knot, which in this case, was TO bind az
least one unwilling heart. She proceeded to the
residence of a friend on Liberty st. Whether by
accident or previous arrangement our, informant
sayeth not, she Glanced TO meet young gentle
man, who had long been enamoured of her, and
In a few minutes matters were arranged between
them, and clergyman sent for, and without
further delay they were made and wife,

bridegroom's father but how the djsconsolats

"But there is another distinguished citizen

the General Government, in its most erroneous
dema I'D. been allowed by Gov. Seward TO release
Mcleod without trial. we hazard nothing IN say
ing that this most important Treaty would not have
been negotiated or, If negotiated would nave been
rejected BIZ the Senate. The ingiorious surrender
of Mcleod, under menace of war, would have
postponed ancable negotiations to come distant

embodiment would have been superadded to the
domestic mi.eries which sink and sicken the Ma

submitted to the abrogaton Of their laws, OF to a
compromise of the honor and dignity OF their
State. In pursuing, with fearless integrity, the
path of duty and patriotism in relation to the Nc

cast and independence, it is meet that he should

The Crosen water Deb.


,,s t5, Editor Of tie Tribume:
Only a few word =, if you please, on the subject
q, the head Of this article.
1t has become very important question-How
shall the means be raised for paying the interest
On this debt, that justice shall DO done to all
and the fewest suffer from injustice
1t ia Just that those who receive direct oenebt
should first be taxed accordingly; in which case
every tenant should pay reasonable sum for the
ordinary use of the water, and where 1t is used IN
lerre quantities for manufacturing other pur-
poses it should be paid for according to the sup
NV. direct benefit accrues TO owners OF such
property as admits of insurance, and on which
reduct;on has taken, or should take place, in the
prices of insurance, owing to the introduction of
an abundant supply of water.
Therefore, every landlord and every owner Of
merchandise should pay tax upon houses and
goods, at least equal to the average reduction of
the cost Of insurance.
Should the revenue thus raised be insufficient
then Ia, generel tax be levied upon all real and
personal properly, which, it is fair to believe, WI"
be light burthen upon our citizens, it revenue
from the other two sources is rigidly exacted.
There is no good reason why any citizen, not
7;ycclly benefited, should pay one dollar until
those whe derive immediate advantages from II
shall make commensurate remuneration. +.
