Romantic Marriage.

On the last trip Of tho steamer Sonora,
one Of those little episodes of life occurred
which is beyond those ordinary transac-
tions that make up the sum total of hu-
man existence. At an early hour, as we
are informed, this fleet and noble steamer
might have been seen nearing the town of
Greenville. The anxious looks exchanged
between many fiber passengers, portend-
ed that there was something extraordinary
about to occur. VAST a case of cholera!

An Excellent Joke.

The Lynchburg Express states, that
among the many beautiful strangers who
graced the ball given in that city to Tho5.
| s. Bocock, and his lovely bride, appeared
one who was introduced as the daughter
of distinguished gentleman from Wyshe-

her face, the gracefulness of her form, her
engaging manners, and the style of her
dancing. added 10 the respect entertained
in this city for her father, made her q belle
at once. Crowds of fashionable young
gentlemen thronged around her, solicieing
the honor of her hand for the dance.

most delicate attentions, and the jealousy
which naturally springs up among rivsls,

applicants for the ..sext set." Indeed,
but for the modest, kind, yet firm demssn-
or OF the fair stranger. there is no telling
what collisions might have taken pisoe
among the wrangling suitors. Nor were
the attentions paid her confined to the on
posite sex. Many Of our loyeliesi ladies'
sought an Introduction to her, and invited
her to their homes. She regretted her in
ability TO accept the hospitali,ies tendersd
her, and pleaded as an excuse, that che
