THE DOCK CONNECTION.

The General Assembly deserves credit for
the pro mptness with which it passed the bill
appropri ating 100000 to the completion of
the Ship L ock and Dock Connection between
the James River Canal and Tidewater. The
appropriation was made at the very heel of
the session, at q time when it is exceedingly
difficult to push anything through, and not
withstanding the great Importance of this
measure, and its general merits, we confess
we did not feel sure of its passage by any
means. The Legislat ure did certainly make
a very creditable display of its sense of the
public interest, and many members yielded
up very strong prejudicses in casting their
votes for the bill. The great work will now
be certainly completed to- the very great
benefit of large portion of the State as well
as of this city.

A DApKEy WEppING-Some few eve

A DARKEY WEDDING.-SOme few eve.
nngs since, just as of our most popular minis
tiers of the Gospel had closed the religious services
at his church and about retiring from the altar
messenger informed him that bridal party were
waiting at the door to have the marriage ceremo-
MES performed. The minister, though somewhat
astonshed bid the messenger invite the parties in,
and in few seconds thereafter, up marched about
twenty darkies, Handsomely dressed the bride and
not much lighter, and assembled around the altar.
The departing congregation seeing that something
strange was about to transpire, Immediately reas-
sembled, and soon thereafter as the worthy minis
ter could shake off his surprise and compose his rs
ible faculties, proceeded, in the most solemn man.
ner to perform the sacred rites, which made "Sam-
bo" and "Dinah" one.
