AMALcAmATioN.--A negro barber by the name
Of Carey, well known in this city, recently visit.
ed the village OF Medina, in the State OF New York
and Passed himself off as a Choctaw chief under
the name of Oknb Tubbee Carey is good
musician, and wonderful performer on the flute
A lady, at whose request he had played several
airs, fell IN love with him, and acknowledged her
attachment and fascination by food of tears
Carey acknowledged mutual sentiment related
ga dreamp he had entertained quarter of a cen
fury ago, about an angel, &c, that had ever since
ing up and down the earth to find the reality, and
had just discovered it in the person Of the devoted
fair onel or course the lady, who is represented
by the Medina Citizen to be young, beautiful and
wealthy, believed every word of the fiction, and
popped the question ofmotrimony. Carey, though
in years about 6fty-fve, consented, and the knot
tied on the brink ofa precipice, overlooking
the falls of Niagara There was romance The
blue vault Of heaven above, the fosniing cataract
below--and curly-headed negro clasping the
hand OF beautiful young white woman, midway
between the two elements reverend white
gentleman united the loving pair, and the bride
in gratitude gave the official fifty dollars for his
services. A trip to Europe was in the distance.
at last accounts We hope they may have fine
time Of it yet we cannot help suggesting, that
should the lady feel disposed to place on firm
foundation the claims Of her husband to honesty
she will, in the same liberal spirit which she
manifested on the occasion Of her union, just shell
on, few hundreds to pay Carey's printing bills
in this city.
