SINGULAR CASE cF MARRIAGE.-A cores pondent of the Abingdon Vrgirian, writing from Marion, Smythe county, relates singular case of marriage. He says !" We have, with in half mile of this place, ar individual who has remained in one position (hat on his back) for Is years or more. His joints are as st if as though he never had any; he can move his head slightly, can move his hands little, is unable to eat single mouthful, unless put into his mouth by another person, Is fat, very hearty and cheerful; and within the last two years has married a good looking and hearty girl, and is raising family of children. The clergyman nho married this man, sail he had some scru- pies about it, until he had d long conversation with both of the parties. He saw they were bent on being married. The young lady stood by the bed of the groom-she could not take his hand, for he could not reach it out-and they were made one. |"
