A HAsTY MARRIAoE,-@We hear OF The
marriage of one of the Central Railroad Con-
ducters, to a lady among the hills Of onon-
daga county, which was done up with rail-
road despatch. The bridegroom left Ro-
chester on Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock,
in charge of q freight tran for Syracuse
At Port Byron his train got off the track
and became immovable He went ON foot
through the snow at midnight to Weedport,
and there procured an engine with which he
returned to Port Byron, and took his train 10
Syracuse, where he arrived at 8 A. NJ. Mon
day. The hour fixed for the nuptial GER
emony had passed, but the eager bridegroom
was not SO much behind time us to be deci.
dedly irregular. He procured horses--drove
nine miles to the residence Of the father o.
the bride--was there joined in holy wedlocE
received the congratulation of his friend'
--saluted his brde--and on the same even
ing, was Oh his train returning from Syra-
cuse to Rochester. Though the marriage
was concluded somewhat IN haste, we pre-.
sumo the preliminaries took the usual SLOW
course of true love, and we trust the pail
will always be in so much Of hurry as new
er to find time 10 regret their union.-Ex.

EARTHQUAKEs AND The
Boston Traveller says that during the fore
noon of the Sth inst when shocks of earth
quukes were felt in Maine, New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia, telegraph lines in different
sections of the country "were more or less
disturbed by extrancous electric currents,
similar to those that uniformly accompany
manifestations of the Aurora Borealis; but
the disturbance was slight, compared with
that which accompanied the eruption Of Ian
ma Loa, volcano on one of the Sandwich
Islands, in February, 1852, at which time
every telegraph line throughout thecountry,
from Halifax to New Orleans, and from
New York to ST. Louis, was rendered COM
pletely Imperative"
