y HORSE IN AN UGLY PREDIcAMEST,
There is a sewer running down from
Clay street TO the creek, past the plan
ing mill known as Holidays, which
has bad habit OF falling in. 1t has
been repaired time again, but still will
cling to its ancient practices.
On Saturday last horse, used, we
believe, at the planning mill of Holiday
d Armstrong, was standing near the
lower end of the aforesaid mill, his
hind feet resting just above the sewer.
Suddenly the earth CAPPED, and the
horses fore feet remained firm, while
his hind feet were suspended in the air.
The gears and shafts of the wagon to
which he was attached held him in po-
sition.
The horse didn't like it however. He
would rather support his entire weight
himself, and made desperate efforts to
get on his pins. 1t was useless though
and had help not arrived he might have
hung suspended until the "crack of
doom" The owner of the horse and
Others seeing the trouble, came to the
rescue, and rigging IA block and tackle,
succeeded in extricatiug him after an
hour of labor.

FREEDMEN, MARRIAGES.

Breyet Brigadier General Charles III. How
ard, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau in this district, is displaying great
deal OF energy and good judgment in so regu-
Iating the affairs of the freed people under his
jurisdiction, as to make the results of his man
agement, not only Of the greatest benefit to the
freed people. but advantageous to the commu-
nifty at large. He has now undertaken the
laudable work OF correcting the irregularities
which exist in the matrimonial relations the
negroes, and has issued a circular containing
the laws OF Maryland and this District affect
ing the marriage Of colored people, for their
information, notifying them that their req uire-
ments Will henceforth be strictly enforced by
the officers of the Bureau. This circular pro-
hibits marriage TO females under twelve years
OF age. and 10 males nnder the age of fourteen,
CURED 10 permit the marriage of females I'M
der sixteen, and males under twenty-one years
OF age. Freed people nearer OF kin than first
cousins are forbidden to marry; and no mar
riage will be permitted between negroes and
White persons. Before the marriage rite Is
performed license must be procured from
The Clerk of the Circuit Court of the comfy

must be published in some regular place of
public worship on three successive SUNDAYS
preceding the marriage. Regularly ordained
ministers OF the Gospel are the only persons
authorized TO solemniZe the rites of matrimony.
except in the society of Quakers. General
reputation. cohabitation, and Acknowledgement
are held as sufficient proof of marriage, so far
ties are concerned; but, although such a mar
riage cannot be dissolved at will, yet 10 be
made perfectly valid, the marriage rite should
bStelebrated in g lawful manner.

MORE PERSONALITIES

The House was the scene to-day of another
personal controversy between Messrs. Blaine
aud Conkling, in continuation o. their tIt of
yesterday. Mr. Blaine accused Mr.. Conkling
Of having altered the report of his remarks
yesterday for the GIoJs, whereby his reply to
those remarks was rendered inapropos. MIR.
Conkling denied that he had done ANYTHING
more than trim of superfluities OF language
in revising the report, and characterized the
statement OF Mr.. Blame as frivolous false and
personal. Mr.. Blaine made a spirited reply.
and strong language was used on both sides.
Both these gentlemen are forcibIe speakers and
or acknowledged ability, but Mr.. Conkling IS
somewhat arrogant and domineering in debate.
and the sympathy of the House was rather
with his opponent.
