CITY INTELLIGENCE.


truth than poetry A few evenings since, a
worthy Squire of our city, who had gone to see
a friend at public house, was sent for by his
family to return home, as a gentleman and
lady were at his dwelling, DESTROYS of seeing
him on urgent business He Immediately
! obeyed the summons, and when he arrived he
found young gentleman and lady awaiting
his presence. The gentleman soon broke
ground by stating to the Justice that himself
and the lady had Just arrived from the State of
Pennsylvania, and that they wished him to Join
them in the bonds of matrimony Here was
a predicament for the worthy Justice, who
knew the art and had often practsed it, of
severing ties between two parties, but had
never plaetised the art of binding the nuptial
knot. He explained the reason why he could
not act as desired; that although Pennsylvania
Justice could officiate as Hynen's bond-maker,
yet in Maryland none but minister of Reli-
gion could unite 1.-TWO loving hearts" They
thought it very strange, but finding it too late
to consummate their desire that night, agreed to
submit to its postponement till the next day,
the gallant Squire promising to assist them so
far as he was able. Accordingly in the MORN
ing he repaired to the Hotel where the ''young
/ folks" were stopping, when he was informed
that they had agreed TO postpone the happy
/
! they were going in the morning train Of cars.
| They appeared very we'll satisfied with the de-
| lay, as they seemed 70 think that now the cere-
mony was a mere matter of form, and few
more hours would not make any material diff
ference, The reason why they had come to
Baltimore did not become known, but from cir
cumstances it is supposed that their "mothers
did not know they were out"

hottest day of the season, the heat of the sun
being so intense, that out-ot-door locomotion
was almost impossible. The Thermometer in
our office, in the shade, ranged during the day
as folows:-a 8 A. M.-35; at IL noon,-9l;
at P. M, "a; and at P. M.-99.
Effects of the Heat, A German who was
employed in the repairing of south Bond street,
Fel's Point, fell down yesterday, insensible, !
from the effects of the heat. Proper restora-
tives were applied, and he recovered and went
to work, and in short time afterwards fell
down again from the same cause. He was
again restored, and before night was again at
work! That's what we call perseverance, or
opposition TO "Old Sol.n We have also heard
OF several other persons having been overcome
with the excessive heat, and from drinking cold
water, but none other than that mentioned,
another paragraph, has proved fatal, to
our knowledge. A number of the ship car
penters on the Point quit work, as is |
their custom during the midday heat
Persons cannot be too careful during the con.
tnuation of the present weather, in overhead |
ing themselves, and using cold water too freely
