ton for union of hearts, was Immediately ac-
cepted. The coast now being perfectly clear,
her old beaux having vanished like smoke be-
fore the wind, preparations we're commenced,
but previous to the performance of the ceremo-
ny, the gentleman was hastily summoned TO a
neighboring city oil business of importance, and
like true lover was DESTROYS of bringing some
thing on his return asa memento of the strength
of his ttachment, and fancying nothing more
acceptable than massive gold chain, succeed
ed in dsentangling from the graceful neck of
his fair lady a light cham, for the purpose of
replacing it with another on his return still
more valuable, and worther of the wearer.-
Some time has elapsed since the gentleman 8
departure-the time appointed for the per-
formance Of the ceremony has rolled blythe
old beaux have awakened from their "masterly
inactivity and threaten DANGEROUSLY to be "a
venged-the lady is fast recovering and some
what thankful for her narrow escape-but the
gentleman with the chain is missing Need
we repeat, where is that chain!

VIII not Visit The City. We regret to learn
hat letters have been received from Colonel
Charles Carroll, Of Howard District, stating
hat his Regiment of Volunteers will not be
lble, as they desired, to visit Baltimore on the
approaching 4th of July, to participate in the
celebration with our citizens. Many of the
members of the company, forming the reg-
ment, are engaged in farming, and as it would
be in the midst of the harvest, they could not
spare the time necessary for the visit. We are
informed that the commanding officers of the
9TH aud SD Regiments, as soon as they under
TODD that Col. CAROLS regiment purposed
listing Baltimore, addressed him letters, gal
antly proftering an escort and the hospitali- {
les Of their several commands, during their
ojourn. The offer, from the above cause, was :
leclned, with promise, however, that at some {
uture time they will gladly avail themselves of
he friendly offices rendered.
Drtmmond Light. A splendid Drummond
Ugh is to be exhibited on the 4th of July
evening, from the Washington Monument, OF
sufficient power to illuminate at a great dis
ance. 1t will no doubt be magnificent sight.

Iron Crates in The Placements. We notice
hat workmen are employed in every section of
he city, fixing wooden covers TO the iron t
crates in the pavements, in accordance with }
ecent ordinance of the City Council. So far
{ is very well, but we are inclined to the opin. b
on that many Of these CRATES are better "nan- -
raps" now, thant they have ever been. Wood r.
IN covers have been placed on some, causing a
hem to be several inches higher than they
we're and making first rate place for folks to p
