MARRIAGE UNDER DFFGCULTIEs.-Some
time since gentleman called on the clerk
of one of our ncighboring county courts 10
get marriage license. 1t was given him,
and the circumstance passed from the
mind of the clerk until three weeks after
wards the same gentleman called for an
other license, bringing his first to have 1t
cancelled. Upon being questioned in re-
gard to the former license, he said he "dld
not marry that gal because she was too
smart" for him she wanted to know how
much money he had, what he was going to
do with it, where he was going to take her,
&c, &C., and he had concluded that 1t was
best not to marry gal that knew so much.
The license for "gal" No. was gwen,
and he went off perfectly happy, but re-
turned the next day for another license, to
be married to still different lady. This
time he gave as a reason for not having
used the second license that "gal NO.
had heard of the second engagement
and gone to the priest and told him that
she was engaged to the gentleman, and for
bid the performance of the ceremony !;
"bnt," said he, "I've got her this time
she don't even know that | am acquainted
with this gal, and I'm going straight home
and get married before she has time to
know anything of it. If anything, however,
should happen to prevent this marriage,
I'll be back again Tomorrow for another
license, for there are whole field of gals
after me-" But he succeeded in his last
effort, and did not return again. These
facts were related to us by the clerk ofthe
pnurt

FIRE IN GooCHLAND.-On last Tuesday
afternoon about l o'clock the dwelling
house of DR.. Quintus A. Snead, near Per-
kinsville, in Goochland county, caught fire
near the top of the roof from spark from
the chimney, and very high wind pre-
vailing at the time, the whole building was
in very few moments enveloped in flames.
The family barely escaped, the children
having been rescued with difficulty. Not
single article was saved, all the. furni-
ture, books, and valuable papers of DR..
Sncad being consumed. We have not
heard whether the building was insured.
The furniture and library were insured for
$500 in the Albemarle Insurance Company
at the agency of John ii. Montague, in this
city.

LOCAL MATTERS.

RUMPUss AT THE CUSTOM -HOUsE-UNITED
STATES SENATOR CHOKEs REVENUE COLLEC-
TOR.-The custom house was on Friday
afternoon the scene of a rencontre between
Colonel James, United States internal re-
venue collector for this district, and Hon.
Joseph Segar, United States senator elect
from "District No. !, ,"in which the first mens
toned gentleman was somewhat roughly
handled by the senator. We give the fol-
lowing information concerning the affair,
as coming from parties present, and inte-
rested in it:
1t appears that Mr.. John G. SPOTS, of
this city, had in his hands power of attor-
ney to collect about $3, 900 refunded to par
ties in Nelson who had been enormously
assessed. He presented this to Mr.. James,
and payment was refused on account Of
some alleged informality about the power
of attorney. Mr.. SPOTS appealed to Mr..
Segar at this .uncture to use his influence
in the collection of the claim. Mr.. Segar
agreed to do this, and accordingly visited
Colonel James, and applied for the pay
ment of the claim, arguing that the paper
was made out in due legal form, aud ought
to be paid. After some further discussion,
Colonel J. told Mr.. S. that if he would
put the paper on his table he would act
upon it. The paper was put upon the
table, and Mr.. Segar awaited action upon
it for some moments; and at length, upon
putting the question as to what had been
decided concerning the claim, no reply
was given by Colonel James. Upon this the
former demanded the paper, which was
refused. Mr.. Segar threatened force if
he could get it in no other way. The re-
fusal being persisted in, Mr.. Segar seized
Colonel James by the collar and choked
him, declaring that the paper should be re-
turned to him at all hazards. Mr.. Henry
Smith, clerk in the custom house,
stepped in after awhile, and upon promiS-
ing that the power Of attorney should be
returned, the senator released his hold.

RICHMOND, April 6, 1867

Messrs. Editors,-From an extensive ac-
auaintance with the destitution of this
community, | am satisfied that the city
dispensary lately established will fail to
relieve a large and by far the most deSer-
uing class Of our suffering people. Of the
eighty-fve physicians in the city only sir
can send I" free" prescriptions to this dis
pensary. Large numbers of genteel peo-
pie who cannot now buy medicines have
had family physicians for years, and will
not change them for strangers to save few
shillings, though these shillngs should be
needed to buy bread. This feeling is ma
tural, and not altogether without reason.
| have, therefore, made arrangements with
one apothecary in each ward, well located,
to dispense such medicines as | may fur
nish for the nominal sum of ten cents for
each prescription, the physician certifying
that the patient is unable to pay.
And in behalf Of these people | appeal
to the generous druggists Of the North and
West to send us such mcdicinesas as they may
be willing to give, and | will see to it that
their donations are publicly acknow-
ledged and well bestowed. My arrange
ments to this end have been well consi-
dercd, but need not be detailed. see per-
sons daily who cannot purchase the medi-
cines they absolutely need, and protracted
sickness, and sometimes death, is the re-
suit.
The medicines especially needed are
calomel, quininc, opium, biSmuth, and the
tonics and astringcnts generally. \ cask
of cod liver oil would be most valuable
donation.
Mr.. Hamilton, the very polite agent OF
Adams Express, has, with his usual gene
rosity, consented to transport all such con-
tributions free, and MeSsrS. Purcell, Ladd
& Co., wholesale druggists, have kindly
consented to receive and issue them to the
dispensing druggists in this city.

A BUSINESS VIEW OF THE THIRD OF
APRIL" Things have changed now, sir"
said an intelligent mulatto barber to Gus
toner the day after the colored parade.
" Barber business amt like it used to be.
Time was when big parade like twas
yesterday give the BARRIERS something to
do. White people turned out then, and it
took all the BARRIERS in town to shave 'em
before parade time. And the shampooing
after it was over-that was mint OF
money. These niger professions don't
do, sir; a three days beard don't show on
their faces; and niger can live comfort
able without shampooing the dust out OF
his head" The barber was evidently sor-
rowing over the days when he used to wax
the moustaches of the Young Guard, and
Blues, and Grays, and Yagers, and Mont
gomery Guards, and all those lively, trim
looking young fellows who used to enliven
the Fourth of July with their neat uni
forms, and many of whose neatly-trimmed
locks now lie matted over forcheads cold
in death.

which had lapsed owing to the war be-
cause of failure to pay the premiums.
Although the company was under no legal
obligation to pay this sum, they have in q
spirit of true liberality paid for this and
other like policies.

FIGHT AT THE Custom HoUsE.-On Sa-
turday afternoon an alteration took place
on Bank street in front Of the custom
house between a well-known merchant of
this city and one of the revenue detectives,
which resulted in the merchant knocking
the official down by a severe blow on the
side of the face. Another official stepped
up and separated the parties. From what
was said by the belligerents, we understood
that "cigars" was the subject of contro-
verSy, and some very ugly charges were
made by the merchant.

him will be judiciousIy distributed to the
