Lovers IN A FIx.-SrNGULAR SCENE AT A
WEDDING.-The Dandridge (Tenn) statesman
OF last week announces the marriage Of Mr. Ben
Husky to Miss Susanna Parker both of SEWER
county. We learn from the Statesman that tUo
expectant brldegrooms were in attendance at the
" "auspicious hour" each elate with the prospect
OF duplicating their existence. II seems that the
fair deceiver had so wound herself into the affec-
tons OF the two, that when " popping time
came round, she was unable to resist so urgent
were they in their glorious cause. According to
time SCI. both gentlemen were at the appointed
place, both anticipating the brilliant good time
coming" with apparent coolness The Squire
announced his readiness to tie the knot by s'lead
your partner out on the floor" and to the aston
ishInent Of the assembled lockers on two grooms
advanced with eagerness to grasp the fair hand
OF the cruel-hearted and bewitching creature
AFTER somewhat animated discussion the two
frustrated and almost prOstrated aspirants to mat
rlmonial honors concluded to let the lady make
choice, II one she could effect, between the two
which she soon accomplished. and was married
to the one she most admired. Verify the course
OF true lover will never run smooth.
