A Clergyman living not a thousand
miles fromFPy PyoctorsviHe, SsV Vermont,
having attended watcF meeting, re-

IN sewseM Morning. and found
team hitRsd in front Of his. door, and
= couple in his house. The object of
their visit was soon made known by
the young man, who told the clergy
man that he wished to be married to
the oung lady, who was id the other
room arranging her toilet. The rest
of tho story is thus told by the Rutland
Herald
The clergyman suggested that 1t
was an unreasonable hour for a we'd
ding, and proposed that they postpone
the nuptial ceremony till the next day.
In reply to this, tho young man said
they werO not intending 80 be married
until the next day, but had concluded
the previous evening to take trip to
his homo in jeffrey, New Hampshire,
and were going down to Winchendon
on the night train. The story was so
plausible that the Clergyman married
them. They left and went 70 the hotel
in the village, whore they spent the
remainder of the night. In the morn
ing they went to the depot 10 take the
train for Ludlow, neglecting to pay
their bill at the hotel, or for their team
hired at the livery stable. ~ MS

bill of three dollars for the use Of thu
