MARRIAGE OF a CHILD ELEVEN YEARS OF AGE.-The
Detroit Union records the following:
A wedding came off the other day, at the Johnson
house, which vas the cause Of much gossip and Tir
tuous indignation against all parties concerned A.
d. Brown his wife, and daughter of his wife by her
first busband-a puny, delicate and emacated girl of
eleven years-accompanied by fellow unworthy the
name of man, named Wayne, broken down play
actor Of thrtythree years, but more like fftywear
ing a wig and powdered understanding up the
bridal party. The bridegroom, unable to prevail on
the ministers of any christian denomination to per
form the nuptias applied to justice Russell, but that
gentleman spurned the smpleton from his premises
as his object was contrary to the laws of nature.
Squire Carson solemnised the sacred ordinance Of
matrimony between this Unmatched and unequal pair
a farce upon religion and civilization, unequaled in the
annals Of barbarsm
The disgust and indignation Of the whole commur
nifty knew no bounds. Some were for sezing the
pigmy wife and sending her to the house of correc-
ton. Others clamored for coat Of tar and feathers
for the justice who set the laws of God, man and de
ceney at defiance. The bridegroom treated bis little
wife with candy. Her relatives and himself, followed
by yelling bevy Of youngsters left town, and when
about mile out the boys thrust rail between the
brdegroom's legs to assist in his locomotiCn. BE
bIeatel like a calf and holding knife in one hand,
aud bis purse containing foryye cents, in the other,
begged for mercy. So with heavy heart and light
purse they allowed him to rcjoin the wedding party.
