An EyAcTING BRIDE AND A SENSIBLE
BRIDEGRooM.-Ye yesterday afternoon was
set apart for the marriage Of very worthy
young man, Of this city, to young lady
residing on Halifax street. On Wednesday
night he paid the eXpectant bride visit, and
while conversing Of their future plans, she
told him that two things she would require
of him after marriage, and unless be gave
his promise to furnish these she would not
marry him. The things she deemed most
essential to the happiness Of a married lady
were cook and achambermaid, and these
she must have when she married. They
both were poor, and such demand from his
atianced wife astonished the young man
no little. He tried to reason with her, as
suring her that his means would not permit
such extravaganza that his occupation
fully qualified him to perform the duties
of cook, while he thought she might act
the part of chambermaid. But she was
memorable. The cook and chambermaid
she must have. The young man finally
took his hat, and telling her she must look
for some one more able than himselfto fur
nish her with the servants she required,
bid her good evening. Yesterday, we I'M
derstand some of the young lady's friends
went to the church, expecting to witness
the marriage, but the young man was en-
gagged in his daily avocation, with no
thought Of marrying. He acted wisely

4 TRICK OF THE TURF.-Readers who
are not familiar with racing practices, and
who read with incredulous amazement the
records of speed so marvellous as that Of
Dexter and Ethan Allen, the unrivalled
trotters, will feel their wonder abate per-
haps when they arc told of the stratagcm
by which this seeming miracle is accom-
piished. The fact is, the space got over
in the brief time announced by the trot-
ting champions is not at all the actual mca-
sure of their fair and individual powers.
On some Of these occasions each of the
trotters has running horse harnessed by
his side to the shaft Of the sulky, appa-
rently for the mere sake Of encourage
ment, but the arrangement Of the hitching
apparatus is so ingeniously contrived that
the runner is, in reality, able to lift or help
the trotter along by the superior rapidity
Of his gait, and thus increase the actual
speed of tho latter considerably. The
time of Ethan Allen in his successful race
against Dexter the other day was thus in
creased, it is supposed, by several seconds.
This is, of course, done openly, and with
knowledge and consent of all parties, and
so far as the result of the race is concerned,
is as fair for one horse as the other. But
it certainly creates false estimate Of the
real rate of speed capable Of being at
tanned by an unassisted trotter.-
