A Queer Marriage over in Sntter.


EDITOR DEMOCRAT Il feel like it would be
too great loss to your readers not to give an
account of bit of fun your neighbors across
the Feather stirred up last night
In the vast and illimitable city of Yubu
don't fail to spell this name correctly only
for once) there has long resided, in lonely
hut, lovely widow, fair, fat and forty
Now, for many weeks there has been seen to
come, about the lonely hour of twilight, to
the lonely widows hut, a lonesome looking
specimen Of the genus homo from the region
Of the Buttes. 1t being we'll understood by
the sharps that the lonely widow desired no
longer to live alone, but that she had just
scorched her tender wings in Hymen's flame
enough to make her wish to try the blaze
again, and it being shrewdly suspected that
the Butteous specimen before alluded to, in
stead of intending TO take the lonely widow
under the ample shade of his matrimonial
wings, had sinister (mind your spelling) de-
signs upon sundry cattle roaming the plains
with the lonely widows mark and brand
upon them, last night determined to bring
the lonely widows case to an issue. The
said specimen was seen to "wind his way"
to the lonely widows cot. lie entered-ah
fatal stepl-he entered, never more to emerge
from beneath her roof a single man. "Due
and timely notice" was given. The "Yubu
City Guards" surrounded the house; they
sent committee in to notify the specimen
that immediate marriage or tar and feathers
and rails were the order of the night. He
begged-he supplicated-all in vain. He
must not only marry but must declare that
he did so willingly. Oh, bitter fate, to be
compelled not only to swallow the pill but
to declare it sweet! What did he do? Why,
sir, he said that marriage was bad enough,
but tar and feathers and rails were worse
He asked for a drink of "Angelica," which
the guards generously furnished him, and
then declared that he could stand it if thew
would sprinkle little water in his face
Hymen's true and lawful minister was
brought in. He was none other than your
very particular friend-wel it don't matter.
The lonely widow was requested to arise
from her virtuous couch-for she had already
gone to bed-she did so with alacrity. The
modest committee retired while she robed
herself for the occasion, which she soon did,
for she was fairly trembling and shaking with
joy, like piece of mammals excellent jelly of
old. All ready-in come the guards and
Hymen's officer. He (specimen) goeth forth
to the altar like sheep to the Slaughter
She cometh tripping and dancing to meet
him, like Jepthas daughter to meet her
father They are asked if it is of their own
free will and accord. They answer it is;
she speaketh truth and he speaketh a-well,
they join hands; the work is done; the twain
are one flesh.
Just about that time of night there was
one of the widest. strangest and most con-
fused sound of songs, yels, tin pans, horns,
bull dums, and dun bulls, ever heard in
Yubu, even by the "oldest nhabitant"
Just about day break this morning, a ''sol
itary horseman was seen vending his way"
