How to Collect.

We have heard of many novel ways
of collecting little debts, but that adopt
ed by white minister not a thousand
miles from Camden, is a little more
"cute' than any that has yet come to
our knowledge. Being called upon q
few days ago to perform a marriage
ceremony for colored couple, he
promptly attended, and at the proper
time, proceeded with the ceremony,
when half through, he stopped and
said that he had married a number of
couples, fl iom whom he was unable to
get cent, and he would not proceed
farther until the. bridegroom or some
OF his friends forked over one dollar,
his charge for his services. The mo-
ney being handed over, he concluded
the ceremony, no doubt highly grati6ed
with the success of this strategem.

Freshet.


We learn this morning that the river
has overhowed its banks, and all the
low lands are covered with water. The
water is still rising and the Indications
are that there will be a large freshet
Rain has fallen every day this week,
some of the showers accompanied by
high wind. Farming operations have
been suspended and the ground is so
saturated with water that several days
of fair weather will be required to put
the soil in a proper condition to re-
celv, the seed this will of course throw
the farmers considerably behind hand,
While we write, rain is falling, with
the prospect of a stormy day.
