A case occurred III one Of our Justices courts
the other day, which had quite ia romantic de-

tance from this village, was arraigned on a
charge of stealing money. young man, who,
accompanied herinto court, inquired Of the Jus
tiee if there was no way Of averting the prosecu-
ton. On receivihg the answer that the Justice
had no discretion in the matter, but that the
money was returned and the costs paid, ainoun-
ting in all to about sis, the complainant might
possibly rot appear against the prisoner. A
consultation was held between he younglman and
girl, which resulted in the payment of the mo-
ney by the former. Another consultation be-
tween hetwo parties now took place, after
which tlIeayoung man whispered, something in
the ear ofthe Justice, who Immediately cominanI
'ded the couple to stand up, and proceeded to
join them in the bands Of matrmony. Such an
iexhibition of true love on the part of the swain
is deserving totlan extraordinary measure of con.
