R8-A number of Maryland papers (says the
Marlboro Gazette have recently published an
abstract of the decision of Judge Grain in refer
ence to the validity of marriages contracted in
this State without procuring license, as required
by law This decision has been stated in such
manner, as to lead to the impression that license
is unnecessary. 70 correct such impression we
give the follow sections of the 3Oth article of the
Revised Code on the subject.
'Sec. 1874. If any person in this State shall
marry without license, or without such publica-
ton as the law requires, on conviction, he shall
be fined 800. This section does not apply to
Quakers, who marry according to ttsages of their
society.
:'Sec 1875 If any person belonging to this
State shall go out of this State and there marry
with any person belonging to this State, with
out license or, publication, shall be fined 500.
Sec. 1875. If any minister shall marry any
person without such license or publication, he
Shall on conviction thereof, be fined $780,"
IF we rightly understood the opinion of Judge
Grain, in this matter. it was in keeping with the
above law, that though the license was not ne
cessary to the ralidity of the marriage, yet the
parties were subject to fine without such license.

The GREAT MErEoR.-The meteor of Friday
night seems to have attracted greater share of
public attention than usually falls to the lot of
such short-lived phenomena. 1t was observed
over large extent of country, being seen as far
South as Petersburg, Va, and possibly farther,
and as high in the North as Albany, N. Y
This proves that it was much higher in the hea-
vensthan. most observers thought, some of whom
describe it as only few hundred feet overhead
The elevation at which it was seen at Washing-
ton was about ten degrees, while at Brooklyn,
N. Y, it. was said to be twenty-five or thirty
degrees The accounts agree generally as to the
sumed to different spectators. They all speak
of it as making its appearance from behind
cloud little to the Northwest, and passing
away near cloud in the East.

Of corn was hoed three times, aud yielded
only sixteen bushels of corn to the acre,

such alarm appears to have suddenly disappear

hoped that the principal danger is over. The
reported cases in Canada have not been follow

ty, fifteen have died within the last few days
and Mr.. Storms, in Putnam county, lost sever

ease had its origin in the distillery stables il
New York. Mr. Ager, Of Carmel, lost five
cows, by introducing into his herd an uEima
confined for long time in an underground
stable in New York, and Mr.. Barnum within q
short time lost fifteen head of cattle by turning
them out to pasture from two months con-

No additional cases of the cattle disease are
reported in New Jersey.
The cattle complaint in Ireland prevails to
an alarming extent The British papers report
that the subject was recently brought before
the Irish Agricultural Society by Capt. Ball,
who stated that it has made such frightrul rava-

Notwithstanding the surprising
success of Garibaldi's expedition to Sicily,
the future fate of that Island still remains
matter of uncertainty. OF the seven

setta, including the eastern aud larger por-
tion of the island, are still, or were at last
accounts, held by the Neapolitans and this
district includes all the best fortified places.
If these places are to be reduced by siege,
it will take some time to organize an army
fit for such operations.
Then again. there is the danger lest the
French Emperor should take advantage of
the appeal which the King Of Naples has
made to him 10 mediate to patch up an ar.
rangement more in accordance with his own
ideas than with those of Garrbaldi and
the Sicilians. Were the whole island in
the same position with the western half of
it, the Siciians might perhaps be allowed
by France the same privilege reluctantly
conceded to the Central Italians of choos-
ing their own rulers. AS things are, the
prevention of protracted and ssnguinary
struggle may be urged as reason on the
part of the French Emperor for requiring
the sicllllans to accept certain adminstra-
tive reforms as the basis OF the re-establish,
ment OF the Neapolitan authority. Any
such reforms made or promised, had they
no other guaranty than the faith or oaths
OF the King of Naples, would not indeed

ever, insist that concessions made under his
guaranty for their fulGllment were quite a
diifetent matter.
