MARRYING IN FUN.-An Erie paper tells
how at an evening party in that vicinity re-
Gently, as matter of fun, a proposition to
marry was entertained by two parties who
had then for the first time met. 10 carrying
out the joke it was suggested that the cere-
mony be Immediately performed-the preach.
er residing near by. They went to the house
of the minister to consummate the joke, found
the reverend gentleman in bed woke him. and
had the ceremony performed in the spirit ofa
joke, and naid the fee in joke, but the best
of the joke, is they have since learned that
the marriage was legally performed, and is
binding upon the parties engaged therein.
1t is supposed the parties, who are respecta-
bic, will mend matters by eventually assum-
ing in earnest what was intended as jest, the
true relationship of man and wife. The
gentleman is named Doane, Q resident of
New York State, and the lady Miss Whee-
ler. This is warning to folks who are fond
Of jesting, and especially in affairs of such
deep moment as the ceremony of marriage.
