dollars. he thrust the legal privilege in
his pocket.
Gaining an audience with the object of
bis heart, the two repaired to the house of
q clergyman, where the document was
presented, which, in the eyes Of the MINI
lister, appearing perfectly satisfactory, the
two were united in the holy bonds Of wed

The next morning, upon seating them
selves at the breakfast table of one of the
hotels, the groom commenced reading the
record of his marriage in the morning pa
per, and found that the printers had him
married to another woman.
Thrusting his hard in his pocket, be
pulled out the marriage license, when, 10
and behold, to his utter establishment, be
discovered that the clerk had committed
the grave errer Of inserting the wrong
name of the intended bride.

Uocle Bill resides in q village not far
