FIVE TINES MARRIED.-A few days since
an old man of sixty-one years applied at the
office of the city registrar for his fifth mar
riase certificate. Ills intended bride is but
twenty-four, it being her first marriage. This
is the only case within the knowledge of the
present registrar of fifth marriage. Last
year one man applied for his fourth marriage
certificate, and during that year more men
were married for the third time than females
There is, however, a woman in this CITY of
about forty years who is now living with her
sixth husband. She was first married ut the
age of thirteen, and when fourteen was q
widow At the the expiration of the third
year she was married to her third husband
She has had but three children.-BostoR Trar-

GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE
q EoRGETows, Dee. Z, 1855

oEcR1EfOWS, Dec. &, 1919.
We regret exceedingly to learn that the
health Of Mayor Addison has been very feeble
for some two months or more, and SO much so
during the last two weeks as to prevent him
from attending 10 the duties Of his Office. We
learn from friend who visited him yesterday
that his affection seems to be general debility,
caused by an affection of the liver.
We also learn that the health Of Major VIM.
Jewell, an old and respected citizen, and one
who has served our corporation long and faith
fully, lat the present time assistant clerk and
tax collector, has failed to such an extent as
to cause both him and his friends to have
doubts of his recovery.
Our venerable assistant clerk, assisted chiefly
by Judson Mitchell, Esq one of the commits
sioners vi the sinking fund, has had pretty
iaboTlous time OF 1t for several weeks past, ro-
deeming our Corporation one and two dollar
notes. Their labofs, however, in this particu-
lar, we are pleased to know, are pretty well at
an end, within small amount Of the whole
issue by our Corporation Of the above men
toned denomination Of notes having been
promptly redeemed or exchanged for larger
notes on presentation.
Under the judicious management Of the
Board OF Commissioners, our sinking fund is
In most prosperous condition The earnings
OF it thus far have been fully equal to what
Its most sanguins friends anticipated, At the
present time the Board Of Commissioners hold
in their possession two dollars in reliable six
per cent. stocks, for every dollar which our
Corporation has in cirsulation-in FIVE, six,
and seven dollar notes-which makes it, be-
yond doubt, the very safest paper currency
which persons in the country can receive in
exchange for their produce.
The most magnificent cargo of hickory wood
we have ever seen brought to our market for
sale, came in on Wednesday on the canal
boat Mount Vernon, Captain Ridenbaugh,
consigned to Samuel Cropley, ESQ. The lucky
purchasers were Messrs. Barron Slower.
The quantity about forty cords. During the
month of November, there arrived by river
and canal l,665! cords Of wood Price from
