parties were married on the evening of
j September 20, 1867, by pastor Of one of
our churches at his residence, to which the
couple and party of about half dozen
Others went leg that purpose The hus
band and wife, previous TO September 80,
had been for some time on very friendly
terms, and joked together frequently about
marrying one another. On this evening
they, with i party of some eight or ten
persons were assembled at the house of one
OF the PARTY, and a challenge was given by

| The young lady surprising the rash youth
would back down from his position, i'm
medately accepted the chaliange. The
whole party then proceeded to the residence

vicinity, and the nuptial knot was soon
tied The young lady had never seen a
marriage ceremony performed except that
of the Episcopel Church, and contemplated
Iinterruptlng the minister before he had
concluded. The difference in the form of
the ceremony, however. deluded her, and

the man and woman, however, treated the
affair as a joke, the man supposng that the
minister had been informed that they were
not in earnest The following morning,
however, they were both told that they
were really married, and the minister was
Immediately called upon and the joke ex
planned to him. He informed them that
he had performed the ceremony in earnest,
and that they were legally married. Both
parties were now in a dilemma, and as Meth

ton for a divorce The young lady accord
ingly consulted legal advice in the matter
and instituted suit for divorce which the
young man does not defend Judge
Walker will soon render decision in the
