the commercial crisis raised in this chamber
now ended. France would not renounce the
treaty OF 1860 with Great Britain, nor forgo the
advantages of other commercial treaties of a
similar character, nor would she destroy the
good effect of the vote of the Chamber in the
cause of commercial reform, for the tendency
OF the government was to refer the question of
reform to the Legislature. He concluded by ex.
pressing the conviction that free trade consti-
tuted basis of future greatness and CONNER

MATRIMONIAL.

An impatient couple In Chesterfield county, Va,
were married In buggy few days ago. The
afancei bride made journey TO Richmond TO select
the wedding trouseau. When she returned by rail
she was met by her lover with top buggy to carry
her home. On the road they met tie pastor OF their
church. and as the license had already been obtained
the impatient and too eager bridegroom insisted upon
the ceremony being performed at once-the preacher
on horseback and they In the carrage--wth farmer
and his wife who happened to be present as wit
nesses.
The western papers tell a story of young couple
who rode into Otterville, No., few days since in
pursuit OF parson to marry them. Learning that
he was OF store In the public square, they rode up
In front Of the store, and calling him out told him
their erand, and he, without requiring them to dis
mount married them they sat- to the great amuse.
ment Of Q crowd Of spectators who had gathered to
witness the ceremony.
This reminds US OF marriage which took place In
Salem, Mass, very many years ago. A respectable
couple had come to town from Topsfeld for the pur
pose Of being Joined In holy matrimony. As they
were riding through North street they met the
witty Mr.. Ben. Merrill, and, refining up told
him their errand 70 town. "Well,o said the
comica little barrister, looking over his glasses,
with the twinkle peculiar to him, "Do you wish,
Esquire TO marry this womanr' 40, yes" replied
the man. "And do you wish, madam, to marry this
manf YES" replied the woman. every well, then

enough replied Merrill, and went about his busi-
ness.
