Marriage of Necessity. A few days since, an
affair occurred in the southwestern portion OF
the city, which, Sin course" created conside-
rabe gossip. 1t appears that young gentle
man had been paying his attentions to young
lady, and had pressed his suit foran early mar
rage most strenuously, but the lady steadily
refused to promise to ''honor and obey" deem
ing Glove" entirely sufficient The young man,
however, thought the case very urgent, there
being fair prospect of certain little RESPONSE
bities accrung, which he did not wish to faith
er,except in lawful manner; but the lady most
sngularly. did not dread any such result, and
postponed the evil day, until it was too late
Then came the young mans turn to refuse, and
to all the fair ones solicitations, notwthsand-
ing the peculiar circumstances in which she
was placed, he turned deaf ear, and declined
assuming parental duties. This was predica-
ment the lady never dreamed of but like all
women, "what they will they'll do" and ac-
cordngly, she used her prerogative, had the
gentleman arrested in due process of law, for
breach of promise of marriage. Taking wise
course, and following in the footsteps of many
illustrous predecessors" he consented to wed,
and in custody of the law, was taken to the
couch of the lady, when the ceremony was du-
ly and satisfactorily performed. There are
some Few dtOtIlulGS COlloCttu WITH tile atfalF,
but we suppose beginning life with a larger ia
mily than is generally bargaincd for, will not
be bar to their future happiness

A Bargain TO be had. A few days since as
the Assessors were going around in Old Town,
they called at house, and asked female who
came to the door the usual questions, among
them, "what was the value of the household
She could not, and would not tell,
and was then asked "what she would be willing
to sell out at?" "Why," said she, in no very
good humor, eff the city is so hard up for mo-
ney, they can buy me, the children and all
have for $l5r' The Assessors declined the

would think most reasonable price.
,Ne,1!on University. We learn that the Rev.
Robert Piggott, has been appointed Professor of
Graphcs and the Fine Arts in the Newton
University. The introduction of Drawing in
its various branches, especially in connection
with the Fine Arts, into our collegiate institu-
tons will doubtless give interest to other studies
as well as elevate the character of those insti-
tutions III which it is employed. DR.. Pipcott
will also attend to the Anatomical chair to
which his father has been appointed in the same
University.
Not so Bad. On Wednesday, at one Of our
large cabinet establishments, plane was left
in front of the door, where it had been used,
for few moments. A very respectable look
ing individual picked it up, walked into the
store, and sold it to the owner for fair price.
He did not discover that he had bought his own
plane, until he went to get the one he had left
in front of the door. Not so bad a way 10
make raise-steal a mans goods, and then
90 and sell them to him.

girl, aged about IL years, was arrested yester-
