A VERY interesting and to some extent

freedmen's village. Arlington Heights, during
the mast few days BY order of the Freed,
mems Bureau. two hundred and forty-seven
couples have been regularly united in we'd
lock by clergymen detailed for that purpose
Many of these are old persons, who are the
parents OF grown-up children. but who were
never legally married. Such we're quite 10th
to comply with the order, regarding their re-
lations Us having been practically realized and
sanclfed by time and faithful observance ;
but they were all married, aud Of course
much excitement and many grotesque scenes
we're the result. On the part of many the
desire for finery and display extended to
white wells and wreaths, if not Of orange
flowers, then Of roses and the sweeter honey
sucke while jewelry was not lacking and a
few of the females, whose pecunary resources
warranted It. were arrayed in white dresses
entire. They stood in semi circles, and were
married On g.aSse. fifteen or twenty couples at
time.
