We cut the following from the Buf-
falo Commercial Advertiser IA curious case
was brought under the notice of the police
magistrate yesterday. Two individuals, male
and female, were placed at the bar charged
with larceny. 1t appears that they were
"pllghted lovers" and had concluded to unite
their destinies for "better or worse" on Sat
urdsy night last Upon the auspicious even.
ing, however, it so happened that the hard
hand OF the law, represented by the strong
grip of Constable Toles was laid upon the
would-be happy pair and in lieu of the bridal
couch, they were persuaded to occupy sepa-
rate cells in the lower Watch House The
reason of this sudden change of programme is
easily explained. The pair not having in their
possession sufficient worldly goods to render a
house complete in conveniences, appropriated
various articles to which other parties had a
prior claim. This coming to the knowledge Of
Mr. Toles, he speedily pounced down upon the
adventurous couple and placed upon them
letters almost as strong and only trihe less
calling than those they were about willingly
to don. 1t appears that the operations of the
betrothed were on an extensive scale. Even
the cake which was to grace the nuptial feast
and the wine in which the health of The blush
ing bride was TO be pledged. were purloined
from stores in town. 1t is probable thai, at
the particular request of the Justice, the mar
rlage ceremonies will be postponed for brief
period"

better than at present. We think the prospect

backward season has kept away the peaches

have no weather to injure them.
