Mr.. .Editor:-A breeze has at last
blown up the creek putting an end to a
calm that promised to last till doomsday.
Our little, burgh has something to talk
about and the feminine portion of the
population are awaiting themselves of
'hc god-send, yOu bet. An event which
rarely happens to man but once in a
life timessave al except by free niger
lack, hefel one Of our citizens on Tues
day night of last week. To come to
the point the fellow got married, That's
asubieetT7patrimony,-that has been
talked about sirce Cain went on his
drowsy errand, and will be a standing
theme to descattt upon for unborn gen.
cratioss. SO eur women folks declare
and try their hand at it accordingly
In very truth they have got good
thing, and if could tell it like one of
the tcuguey sex You would say so too
1t is all about the wedding-nothing
else.
The circumstances of the case are
substantially these A long spliced, gan
der-legged Mssourian took freak like
nise.man to splice four feet more to
himself in the shape of wife of about
that length. The beautiful, accom-
plished and amiable Miss Barlow, whose
cheek blushed with the roses of fifteen
spring.times, was the lucky maid on
whom. the genuine son of Pike or son of
somebody else, stately as a sand-hll
crane, gaunt as greyhound and grace
full as hippopotamos, looked down
with liquory eyes and dissolving bowels.
lie gazed lona-the distance was con-
siderable. She looked up, reclined her
head gently in his TANKS, and 'peared
so kind o. molasses like-soft and sweet
at the same time, that he came down
several pegs and took lick, and there
was no weaiing him after that. He

NC FqOIdoic Miss DdIloW saw IL. nc
beautiful Miss Barlow felt tender as a
vino fruit nipped in its pumpkinhood by
unkindly afirfsearly frosts. She looked
80. The hungry Missourian saw it. A
kindssd look and fellow feeling made
the pair wondrous kind. They sent for
priest. Sympathizing friends were
cslledin- to'thc nutshells. Haul gat up
and gat on the great occasion. He
secured the country high and low for
guests, overlooking some in his immense
haste. Boil was panied to the core be-
cause Haul had the leading part to ex-
ecute on. so august an event. Peapody
collapsed, and Rice the fourth great
manager went down doing service on
celestial mission. The suspicious event
came on the 10th inst. The glory and
pride of the surrounding country congre-
gated together. The Rock-creekers
and Brush whackers were on hand clad
in the reginentals of Pike of beautiful
bu.tcrnut brindle. Hoe-downs, shin
digs and smashings in father-land never
saw n more fascinating group of corn
fedsgehtry. They came to see sights,
cram thems elves on dodger knick knacks
and sour crout preserves, get gloriously
fuddled on whisky, have a tearing
break down and good time generally
They had it all. Buttons few in every
direction with a perfect looseness, as
specimens of bone aud muscle essayed
TO cut e. pigeon wing, or with dangling
arms executed double shuttle. But l
am getting ahead The bride was CIV
en- away, beautiful gift by a wheeling
ttle.professor of the pas dc stag. Ser
aphina. the Belle of the Camp graced
the occasion as bridesmaid. The prea-
cher scud. and then the buttons flew as
heels w Mt II rocking.
Great credit is due the Rock creek
anfSelby Flat Serenaders for the inim-
itablo music they discoursed on the &C
exsion: For an impromptu effort it was
one of the best. Several new instru

<ao bridegroom; who having no soul for
science nor ear for music arose from the
naptial couch in wolfsh temper and
incontinently chawed up poor minstrel
bsf9re breakfast for daring to execute
p,asic the. aforesaid bridegroom could
not appreciate. The uproar brought
from her virtuous couch the blushing
bride in deshabille to hush the oft
posted declarations of her young lor
that be must and would have blood from
