Romantic Way Of Getting Married.

At the passenger depot, on monday, says
the Williamsport " Gazette" singular case
of love, desertion and restoration to the toys
of first love-" occurred A man residing
in this county, who had been engaged, for
a long time, to young lady of this neigh
borhood, had illicit communication with
her, and subsequently desired TO brake his
"early VOWS, notwithstanding her earnest
entreaties. While she was sojourning near
this place, he was Summoned by an officer
to make his appearance in this vicinity. She
and her friends met him at tbs depot, on ar
rival OF The cars, when an interesting inter-
view took place, the result of which was
the renewal of his pledges with her-but
now to late, for her character had sustained
an irreparable injury. Soon after the recon-
ciliation, they and their charge, with an
officer attendant, took the cars for their ma
tive place, where, we suppose, the nuptals
were performed, and "another man made
happy"

THERE is al present a petition ahoat some.
where 10 re-annex the counties of Union,
Snyder, Columbia and Montour TO North
cumberland county. This no doubt is capi-
tai idea, as the above named counties be-
ing the offspring of Northumberland county,
no uncongsnlality would arise by the re-an-
nexaiion and it would also do away with
the pesky filibusers who nearly plague the
life out of their mother.
We hardly know however how 10 dispose
of the Public Buildings in the different
counties, in such a manner as TO devote
them 10 useful purposes. The Petition pro-
vides for the one at Lewisburg in the fol-
lowing manner:
"The Court House at Lewisburg might
be used as a Temple for the dispersed Nor
mons, who controlled the political destinies
of that county several years slnce."-M,i-

NEw AND DANGEROUS CoUNTERFElT.-lm-

most dangerous counterfeit notes ever cir.
culated in this State. 1t is a Five on the
Eason Bank, at Easton, Pa, and is so near
ly fac simile OF the genuine, that he safest
plan is 10 refuse all $5 notes of the Easton
Bank. All the devices are the same as the
true note but the shaded bars across the

in the good noe, are imperfect in the coun-
terleit, and black line appears also, that
is not OIL the genuine. The ink with which
the note is printed is rather lighter colored
than that of the good notes. The signatures
are well initiated. Vignette-woods scene,

e The Baltimore Sun, in discussing the
question, what ought man TO do, if placed
in the late position of Mr.. Sickles towards
Mr. Key, concludes as follows:
1--WE say just what may a good and true
and honest man has done before, and we
could name shining example in the act
of one, who well deserves the title of hero
and philosopher. He neither slew the man
nor woman. He called the erring wife be.
fore him, and bade her take whatever she
rlghtfully claimd as her own, and leave him
forever. and then like the hero that he was,
and is, he pursued manfulIy the even tenor
of his way, and all men honor him. This is
what, in our opinion, man ought 10 do"

fifty members voting, Thus the further ag-

ends, without the church putting its hands

admire; this is the diplomacy which We are
