JoNEs.-The Del. Democrat after giving an
account of the thievng propensites of Jones,
who married Mrs. Dolly Day (and. who it is
said after getting the "widows pile" took
=" French leave'D thus discourses:
The nuPlials ol this blessed pair were solemn-
lied an Dover, and we happened to be at the
Capitol on the very day that the memorable
ceremonies were pronounced We had the
rare luck, in fact to occupy the same coach and
car with the happy couple in their Journey
homeward. Mr.. Jones on that occasion, was
glorIously drunk, and his overjoyed bride, if
our eyes did not deceive us, was not far behind
hun. Upon our arrival at the Dover Depot,
Mrs. Jones was afectionately handed from the
carriage and deposited on the platform, where
she was left by her husband, who went off
little distance to see about something else
something to take we suppose. In the absence
OF the husband Mrs. Jones took the arm of a
Dover gentleman who generally officiates on
such occasions, with whom she entered the
cars and sat down. A close conversation then
ensned IN the course of which the gentleman
seemed 10 become excited and laying his arm
over the back of the seat very close to Mrs.
Jones'S neck, he whispered something in her
ear, which seemed to give her so much more
pleasure than pain, that she first smllei and
then laughed. The newly made husband now
reeled INTO the car whereupon the Dover gen.
lIeman sloped aud casting one " longing linper-
ing look behind made tracks for Dover. The
cars soon started, and upon our arrival at Smyr-
