The First Wedding.

Major Noah thus pleasantly and philo-
sophically discourses upon the ''first we'd
ding He says:
"We'like short courtships, and in this
Adam acted like sensible man. He fell
asleep bachelor, and awoke to find him.
self married man. He appears to have
popped the question almost Immediately
after meeting Mdlle Eve, and she, with
out any filtration or shyness, gave him a
kiss and herself or this first kiss in this
world we have had, however, our own
thoughts, and sometimes in poetical
mood, have wished We were the man s'wot
did it, But the deed is done, the chance
was Adams, and he improved it.
We like the notion of getting married
in garden. 1t is in good taste. We like
a private wedding. Adam was private.
No envious beaux were there; no croaking
old maids; no chattering aunts and grumb-
ling grandmothers. The birds of Heaven
were the minstrels, and the glad sky flung
its light on the scene.
One thing about the first wedding, brings
queer thoughts to us, in spite of the scrip
tural truth. Adam and his wife were
rather young to be married, some two oil
three days, according to the sagest specu-
lations of theologians, mere babies, larger
but older without experience, without q
house, without pot or kittle, nothing,
but love and Eden.

A large mob was prepared On the

Cured in the Delaware Division last We'd
nesday or Thursday, about fourteen miles
below Easton. 1t happened at place
where the bottom of the Canal was lime
stone soil, and this giving way, formed a
kind of sink-hole. The water was imme-
diately drawn off, and the injury promptly
repaired. Much is owing to the energet.
ic officers of the canal for so faithfully
guarding the interests of the Common
wealth as well as the business community
This leak occasioned the detention of a
number of boatmen, among them large
number in the employ of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company. The latter
concluded to take advantage of the meet
ing, and get up strike for higher wages
If we are correctly informed, the Company
reduced their wages 5 cents per ton from
Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia, upon the
prices paid last year; they now demand an
increase of ten cents per ton upon the pres
ent prices, or five cents more than was
paid them last season. They oblige al
boats in the Company employ, whether
coming up or going down, to stop here
We are told that they also stop the Beave,
Meadow, Buck mountain and other Com
panies' boats. The Lehigh Canal is filled
with boats a distance of 5 or miles above
Easton, and so is the Delaware Canal, fol
several miles below the Collectors Office

day morning, there were probably 3O(
