CURIOUS CASE Of MAFRI-
sMONY. -

NUN L.
The Patterson, New Jersey Guardian,
July 14th relates the following extraordi-
nary STORY: .-5-
Not ten days have elapsed since we
published marriage in our columns whilst
with the peculiar circumstances of the.
strange wedding We have until now been
ignorant. H. ..zatg So 49,
A young lady of this place went to
New York on visit, and was introduced
into a family residing in Fifth Avenue.
By rendering herself afable and endearing
she was invited to spend few days with
them as welcome guest. All went
smoothly, and acting with much proprie-
ty possessing. such apparent sweetness of
character, she gained the respect and con-
fdence Of the whole family, and upon her
|departura invited them up to see her at
her residence in this place, representing
her people as living in the first style with
every luxury about them. She then left
for Patterson, after receiving promise
from them to return her visit in very
short time.
A few weeks after son and daughter
of the family on the Avenue, came up to
Patterson and found the young girl at
home; but also found appearances very
different from what her description had led
them to anticipate. AT night the young
gentleman suggested TO his sister that they
should put up at a hotel; but this the
young lady strenuously opposed, and in.
sisted vehemently upon their remaining at
the house, which they 6nally consented
! to do. ss2'- st'
Bed time arrived, and both were shown
to their rooms In short time after the
young man retired, the young lady who is
the heorine of our story, introduced hera
self into his bed-chamber and passed the
night there. Extraordinary as this con-
duct seems to have been, it was not such
an astonisher as the young gentleman re-
ceived in the morning, for he found him
self entrapped, the minister present, and
fuss generally being kicked up by the girls
Erelatives. The sister upon being inform
ed of the true state of the case was highly
indignant and astounded even more than
the young man himself Only one way
presented itself for. the young gentleman
to escape from the wrath of the house.
