UNcoMPLETED MARRIAGE CEREMONY,
We learn that marriage ceremony at
Father Driscoll's church, on Sycamore
street, on Monday, was broken off without
compilations 1t appears that a Protestant
gentleman came to this city from Virginia
some time ago, became introduced into a
Catholic family where there was daugh-
ter, and that the usual consequences Of
the proximity of young persons of different
sexes followed, and the parties became
engaged. s 81
On Monday the parties appeared in
church to be married, with the usual at
tendance of relatives and friends and the
appointments of good match. After a
part of the ceremony had proceeded, the
parties were taken into the sacristy, where
the priest, as is usual in such mixed mar
riages, asked the bridegroom if he pro-.
missed that the wife should have the con-
troll of the religious training of the chill
dren. The man, surprised, inquired if that
was part Of the ceremony, and was assured
that it was. He objected; but the priest
insisted. He looked to the woman, but she
made no sign. He then positively refused
to make the pledge to give up the control
of his future children, and left the church.
We are informed that the scene, as he
walked out from the room, down the steps
from the altar, and out, pale but erect and
determined, was striking Cincinnati Ga
sette, 9th.

DESERVING THEIR FRIEND.-There is no
mistake about the fact that the Democratic
journals, especially the old tile-leaders, are
deserving the President. They see what is
coming.

We now see. We have quoted the remarks
of the New Y ork World, and now the Chi
cago Times is showing the cold shoulder.
After admitting that the acts of the Presi-

retaliation upon the Senate, Secretary

says that, "viewed as such, they are undig-

Of gold-bearipg bonds, which we're abb

DARING ROBBERY. On Monday the 24th
ultimo, near Parnassus, in this county, a
most daring and outrageous robbery was
committed. On that night at 8 O'Clock
three white men, partially disguised and
fully armed, entered the house of Mr..
Kenney Sillings, good citizen and an
old man helpless from rheumatism, and
remained till ii O'Clock, during which time
they pillaged the. house, and in their
search turned everything topsy-turvy. No
other person was present except Mr.. Sill
lings's wife. They took away with them
slOO in specie; and $35 in currency, and an
old flint-look rife which Mr.. Sillings valued
very much, not on account: of the intrinsic
value of the gun, but because it had been
his fathers, and had been in the family
nearly century. He told the robbers
why he did not like to lose it, and told
them that if he had it he would willingly
give them FIVE dollars in gold for it, though
they could not sell it for more, probably
than Ave dollars. They took it, neverthe-
ess.-Staunton Spectator.

BANK DEFALCATIoN IN WASHINGTON.
The Washington Star of Monday mentions
the discovery of heavy defalcation at the
banking house Of George w. Riggs s. Co.,
of that city. The Star says:
"The accused person is Mr.. John G.
Clarke, for the past twenty years teller at
the bank, and one of the most trusted
employees of the firm. In the early part OF
last week Mr.. Riggs discovered an error in
the cash account Of Mr.. Clarke, and, upon
mentioning the fact, Mr.. Clarke immedi-
ately accompanied Mr.. Riggs to his private
office, where, it is said, he made afull con-
fession Of the whole matter, acknowledging
that he had for some time past been using
the money of the bank to loan to some OF
his friends, but expected to have returned
the same before it was discovered,
and that he had appropriated for that
purpose between 100000 and $4,000.
He Immediately transferred to Mr..
Riggs all his property-valued at
$4,000 or $l5,0O0-consisting of large
brick house on street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets, and other property
in different sections of the city. He also
handed Mr.. r. about S26, 900 worth of pa
per, which is properly endorsed and So
cured, and upon which the money will be
realized. Besides this, he will transfer to
Mr. Riggs all his right to a large claim
which be has in New York city, and which
will be paid in the course of q few months !;
thus making the money all good, and pre-
venting any loss to the bank. Mr.. Riggs
and the other members of the firm express
great regret at the occurrence, as Mr..
Clarke has been with them from boyhood,
and always enjoyed the esteem and conf
dence of each member of the firm. He
was very much esteemed by Q large circle
Of friends in this city, all Of whom are
panied at this occurrence. With the ad-
vice of his friends, he has left the city. No
action will be taken against him by Mr.
Riggs, Us the bank loses nothing"
