A New WAY TO WEDLocK.-The Dayton
tOhio) Empire of a recent date, publishes the
following singular story, which is doubtless
true, as the names of the parties appear among
its marriage notices
Esquire Turner met with matrimonial
incident, yesterday, to which we will briefly
allude. Yesterday morning gentleman and
lady from village few miles north of this
arrived here, for the purpose of getting mar
ried. A gentleman who resided in the same
place, hearing of the departure of the young
couple, and learning their purpose, stated his
determination to follow the party and marry
the lady himself
Swain No. p arrived here soon after No |
had deposited the lady of their mutual love at
at the house of an old acquaintance, and ascer-
tanning where the lady was, he called at the
house, and induced her to get in his buggy and
take ride. While out No. persuaded her
to marry him, and when they returned to the
house it was with marriage license and Jus
tiee Turner to administer upon the document.
OF course No. was badly put out, but how
could he help it? He turned philosopher
Didn't he come here to get married And
what matter to him what woman it was when
they were all the same to him? He'd get even

the room, Ne asked her if she would marry
him. She replied in the affirmative; and re-
questing the justice to stay in the house, he
returned in a short time with license, when

The gold exchange was again in an excited
state to-day over q counter reaction and the
prices of yesterday were reduced 21I 8 per cent.
The fluctuations of the gold market no doubt call
out the wonder Of many who were never initiated
into the mysteries of the operations of Wall street.
and cftentimes the sudden turn in prices elicits
the astonshment of some who have been in tho
street for years. We stated in effect, on Wednes-
day that the news of temporary checks to the pro-
gress of our armies would very naturally be used
by spectators in a way to send up prices, but
when it became known that they had attained .
height that the requirements of trade did not war
rant, they would most assuredly drop, and the
evidence Of this fact is now before Whom
we received intelligence that the Army ef
the Potomac had fallen back the spectators In
gold began to exercise their power upon those who
had contracts to fill with nothing on hand with
which to cancel their obligations, and by exciting
their fears, caused them to rush into the market
and buy at almost any price of the very men who
were thus deluding them. When the shorts had
satisfied themselves the demand ceased and quite
naturally the price went down. There are minor
causes, however, which operate upon the market
to a certain extent and one Of them is the ship
ment of specie, and if the amount be large by
any one steamer, the fact is used by the bulls to
run up gold one or two per cent and, on the other
hand, il it be snail, the bears manage to force
down the price. Gold opened this morning at
1897, and before one o'clock it had gone down 70
1917 two per cent of from the first sales, and three
per cent less than the highest price obtained the
evening previous in Fifth avenue. In the after
noon it was forced up to nearly the opening sales,
but it could not be maintained, and finally closed
uncommonly weak at l52H. The following were
