Owe regret to learn that the health
Of B. Chambers Wickes Esq. of Ches-
tertown, has been in a precarious con-
dition for several weeks past; so much
so, that he has determined to try a south
ern climate during the winter, and in
company with his brother Doct. Wickes,
starts for Florida on Monday next.
Mr.. Wickes is one of the ablest young
men in the State, and we hope he may
return in the spring with his health
fully restored.

1.-THE marriage which was reported
to have taken place near this town on
Friday last, did not come though
the would-be Benedict secured the ser.
vice of the Parson, and procured the H.
cense, which he very toolishly publicly
exhibited. 1t appears that there were
not "two willing hearts" to the affair
and the expectant groom was made ac-
quainted with the fact as soon as he had
reached her domicile. The truth of the
matter is con fined in nut shell-he had
once played her false, and she was de-
termined to be even with the gay de-
ceiver. Oh, these girls!-they play
the deuce with fellow when they try!
-Four dollars fifty clean gone--and
long improbable ride for the minister.
