Marriage Extraordinary.

On Thursday night a wedding came off az
Musical Fund Hall Philadelphia, under the
most peculiar circumstances. For some time
past there have appeared in the amusement
columns of the Philadelphia papers announce
ments of ''Who is to be married on Thursday
night at Musical Fund HalI?'' ssWho is TO ner-
form the ceremony at Musical Fund Hail on
Thursday night" 1.-The wedding cards ara
Issued for Thursday night"
these were looked upsn as mere advertising
expedients of the concert troupe called the
"Old Folks" until Thursday morning the To-
calcolUmns of the Inquirer announced that Mr.
Henry Z. Holloway and Miss Hattie A. Anna
bic, OF the troupe, known respectively as
Cousin Reuben" and Granny Slocum. -"
were actually TO be married upon the stage by
tbs Kew. Chas WsdsWorth, D. D., of the Arch
street Presbyterian church
The hall was crowded beyond comfort by an
immense throng of nearly three thousand per
sons, and after the conclusion of the usual pro-
grsmme OF songs, sung in the quaint costumes
OF me olden times, the performers retired
10 Inc dressing room, from which they soon re-
turned with the bride and groom The bride
groom was dressed in a very long brown coat
reddish waistcoat, Hessian boots bell crowned
hat, and long hair Of the period of 1890, and
the bride as an old woman of the same time,
IN shOrt-Iaisted faWn-cOlored silk, with a
very high, broad cap.
ONNA Aou we'll GOEne I0elr parts during the
concert, and the bride, when handed TO the
piano, infused large amount Of comedy in
her walk and the use Of her stick. As abe
appeared with Father Gulick, the chief Of
the troupe, Mr.. Wadsworth entered nv an
opposite door, and when the company were
ranged In q row, with the bride and groom
In the center, he made q short address to
the audience, stating that these two persons
were about to perform the most solemn ACT
OF their lives, and one which would ipou-
ence their being, both in this world and
the next, long after old costumes and new
costumes would be crumbled into dust.
short prayer followed, and the marriage took
place with great solemnity, the ladies as
usual, gazing eagerly, with very serious
LOOKS The audience generally seemed much
Impressed, and when, after the irreyocable
words were pronounced, an individual pre-
senting the aspect Of a dissatisfied Benedict
sad done for he met with NO Response
from those around.
~ the conclusion, the audience were invited
down stairs, where, in homeIy style, they were
RECALLED with mugs Of cider and doughnuts,
upon bare pine-Wood tables, as in the old.
1ashloned farm houses Of former DAYS.
Both parties were young, the groom about
I'VE and twenty. and the bride some wears
younger.

have a message must cross the sea,
But doubt what message IL shall be:
And be II Peace. or be Ii War,
A fitting rost I would choose therefor.
so say. you bOnny birds Of mine,
Around which neck shall / tie the twine'
The EAeLE.
Round mine, round mine, my mistress sweet,
NV wings are broad and nv flight is feet:
And / have q beak to rend the prey,
And tslOns for all my course would stay;
And can swoop over land and sea
THEN ''War," and your message send by me-
THE DOVE.
Round mine, D mistress sweet round mine:
I'm swift as arrow, and true as line :.
Nor talons sharp, nor beak have /,
But soft, sweet voice, and pleading eye;
And none will harm me on land or sea
Then "Peace, "and send your message by me.
The lien stands IN acT to spring,
Her glove Britannia lifts 70 fling;
A haughtv claim asks Taught reply,
He half has conquered, who dares defy
Then give me the message brief and bold
With the Lion the Eagle should partly hold.
THE DOVE.
The dugs OF the LIoness sucked thee,
When first thou earnest over sea.
Better ween than Britannia's glove,
Is the hand OF Britannia, clasped in love,
'Twixt Dove and Lion calm speech may be-
Then the message Of peace send tho1 by me.
THE EAGLE.
Thou hast boosted and clustered and talked of
fight
Has set a bold face In lieu Of right;
III breath thou bate, or back thou draw,
Or instead Of battle offer law,
On, scornful the Lions laugh will be
Then the message Of War send thou by me
THE DOVE
IL thou hast boosted, boast no more,
II war thou hast challenged, repent II sore;
The DEVILS wicksdest whisper TO man
lie, "Let wrong end, since wrong began"
oh, glad the Lions great heart will be,
TX message Of Peace thou send by me.
And still In doubt doth Columbia stand
bird and an answer on either hand;
For Wharf.-The Eagle with eyes a-glow!
For Peace-the Dove with her plumes Of snow.
But Peace or w ar should the mess 8ge be-
Twill find an answer across the sea

We learn from letter written to the
Baltimore Clipper from Mardusburg,
under datO of April l6, that an attempt
to enforce the laws Of the Rebel Govern.
ment took place there. 1t says
"a little episode in the history OF the
Robc lion transplred here yesterday,
yhich was the date fixed by both the
former aud Rebel Constitutions for tho
cOnvening Of the court Of Berkely coun.
ty At the appointed hour, the sheriff
under the rebel regime, entered the court
house and was about 10 ring the bell,
summOnins the late rebel Judge, John B,
Nadenbush, to his seal, when Thomas
Noakcs, a well-knOwn loyal citizen; Soi.
zed the sheriff BY the arm, emphdlically
notified HIM that "no rebel coHyl should
hereafter convene in BerksIg county
without passing oyer his dead Lody."
The sheriff desisied, aud the rebe court
did not convene. subsequently, by per.
mission and under direction Of Major Q.
NJ, Walker, Tenth Maine Volunteers,
Provost Marshal of the town, tbiCo Un-
ion magistrates wcro selected BY the
loyal citizens and held the court, Some
official business was transacted, court
and county officers appointed, aud the
Court adjourned until the next term with.

the action OF tho Constitutional State
authorities in the premises"
Governor PicrpOint ought to take the
