THE RECENT MARRIAGE OF AN ARMLRss Hero.
Lately was mentioned the marriage Of the arm.
less color sergeant of Massachusetts, regiment,
Plunkett, to Miss Nellie Lorrimer. We have now
an additional fact of interest connected with the
incident. When he left for the wars, Plunkett
was engaged to q Miss Lorrimer Upon his re-
turn he considered his helpless condition and
offered release to his betrothed, which was
readily accepted. Her sister was so indignant
at this that she said she would marry the brave
man herself If he was agreeable, and agreeable
be was, and they married The Hartford (Conn. !

At this season of the year it
is almost impossible. with tue ordinary vigilance
Of city officials to keep all the side walks in the
uniulproVed sections, in phssable condition, but
we can see no reason why the large number Of
pedestrians, OF a pleasant Sabbath afternoon
should be compelled either TO wade through the
mud or use 'be carriage-way on Market street
above Eleventh. Making all due allowance for
improvement aud the necessary accumulation Of
dirt, there can be no excuse for the Commissioner
who permits such state of things, or workmen
who pay so lutte regard to the comfort of those
who use the pavemnut after their weeks work is
done. While calling attention to this nuisance
it might be well to mention that the general CON
dtiOn of the sidewalk on Marke, st. above 9th, is
abOu as it has been for two or three years past.
