married, under difficulties, came on in the sixth
Ward a few days ago, and created quite an ex-
citement among the Navy ardsrs, who were up
TO the fun. Charley carrigan came home from
long ,sea-voyage on one OF Gacie Sans ships-of-
lifeline, with his pay In his pocket in good yell
low gold coin, and with the strongest kind OF
t1ankenng sffsT wiz He skarried ABOUT the
looking "blue-eyed Mary to whom he paid his
derosrS in q most assidnouS manner for a limited
space Of time; and, thinking he had made his
>sDgork - he set out to secure the services Of the
Squire, and have the ceremony did, and all over.
In his perambulations be came across the Office
Of Justice Gull, to whom he made application to
unite him for life to the darling Of his soul The
Justice, nothing 10th, acceded to Charley's prop
Osition
IN the mean time, Charley, thinking Il best to
have the lady understand that he was coming,
engaged the services Of Messrs. Little and Yer
million, county officers for proposed stipulation
OF one Of the So pieces to go TO the ladys house,
Inform her that be was about TO fulfil his promise
10 marry her, and TO prepare her for the ceremony
This service was promptly undertaken by the
obliging officers, who, proceeding at once to the
house of the ladye-love of Mr.. CarTigan, they
knocked, were admitted, made known their bust
ness to the fair damsel, and were ver much as
tonished TO learn from her that she had never
promised TO marry the man; she was equally as
tonished at his audacity in saying So and re-
9uested the advance guard to beat retreat and
pains.
Just at this time Charley came In, and the in.
algnant Miss left by side door. Charley was
informed OF the bad success of his emssaries and
became indignant and lachrymose in the same
instant He bewaied and scolded, protested
and blubbered, cursed his unlucky stars and the
nols female sex ,swore, stamped, Taved, pitched,
hlnted at suicide, then at murder became a. blue
Ia the lace as he was in the pantaloons and urged
most vehemently that the false hea rted creature
had deceived him, and deserted him without
any pIeteNt whatever, and calling her back into
the room, became imperative and then suplica-
I'VE, threatened and implored, and all to no pur-
pose, tne young lady merely looking on coolly,
ana saying al half minute intervals, - never
promised to marry you; 20 along with Won -
:. But, insisted Charley, didn't tell W that
Ia make over to ye all my property in the old
country! All me fine estate in BaIyshannon
ana me jolly peat bog in Inskillin; besides the
Iorty thousand pounds in the two and a half per

PENDING all this the mag istrate and his aids

suasiSe Efforts To bring Mary up TO the licking
point, and in silent commisseration of his failure
however, Mary continued inexorable, and there
