DIED, April 18th, twenty minutes past

ry Scott, wife of Josiah Scott Esqr., in the 43d
year of her age"
In deep sorrow we record the death Of Mrs.
Scott. One, truly great in all that constitutes
the wife, mother, sister and friend, has been
removed from our midst She has left de-
voted husband, affectionate brothers and
large family Of children to mourn an irrepara-
BILE loss. A cruel and relentless consumption
Frustrated her in lingering illness, and final

Eg- The boot and shoe trade of this city has
nearly doubled within FIVE years. 1t may be
said to have commenced in the year 1920, by
Spoford, Tileston & Co., but their connection
with it ceased twelve years ago; so that up to
a short time since, the old firm Of D. A. Wes-
son (now Wesson Il Co.. was the Oldest in ex-
istence. At the date mentioned, a business Of
$50, 900 or $50 600 was considered very large;
but there are now in this city at least four firms
who do yearly business Of S4oO, 100 to $780,
600 each. The trade is chiefly managed by
nineteen different houses; and as accurately as
can be judged, the aggregate sales are nearly
or quite $6,000,000 per annum.-JoarnaI Of

Marriage License.
PROBATE OFFICE, CARRoLLToN, !
April 20, 1853. I

N pIll ~Ns 1000
MR. EDITOR -
AS some Of the provisions Of the law
regulating Marriage appear to be but imper
fectly understood by many of our citizens, per-
NIT me, through the medium of your paper, to
present to those interested, the following sum
mary of the law in force on the subject
1. The ages at which parties are competent
to intermarry are, for the male 10, and for the
female Ia years.
2. Previous to intermarying, the bans must
be twice published in church, or license OBJ
tanned from the Probate Judge Of the county
in tchieI tie female resides.
3. If the male have arrived at 81, and the
female at IS, no consent Of third persons is re-
quired. In such case either party can obtain
a license, on application in person or by agent
to the Probate Judge, and on making the ne
cessary affidavit.
a. If either Of the parties be minor, the
consent of the father, or mother, or guardian,
(as the fact may be, must be given personally
to the Probate Judge or be certified to him in
writing, attested By tOO witnesses, who saw such
father, mother, or guardian sign, or who heard
such signer acknowledge the execution of the
same.
The following form Of a certificate, (insert
ing the proper names, } may be followed in such
cases
al, A. B., father Tor mother or guardian as
the fact may be- of G. B., minor, do hereby
declare my assent TO his Tor herr marriage with
@. D. Dated April - 1853. A. B."
"Attest, John Doe,
RICHARD Roe"
One Of the witnesses to such certificate must
appear before the Probate Judge, on applica.
ton for license under such circumstances, and
make oath that he saw the said A. B. sign the
same, or heard him Tor her) acknowledge its
execution.
Attention to the preceding synopsis will OBJ
viate much of the delay and disappointment
that now frequently occur on applications made
at this office for licenses to marry.
