TIE ANNEXATION FEFL1NG IN CUBA.-The
Havana correspondent of the New York
Times writes that the extremely radical
Cubans, who have been accustomed t.
scout at the idea of annexation to the
United States, have changed their tone,
and are DOW quite anxious for annexation.
He estimates the number OF Cubans who
now favor a seperate and independent
government for Cuba about the same with
the number who favor a continuance Of
tho Spanish rule, and both these classes
do not embrace more than one fourth OF
the population Of the island. At least
three-fourths eff the Cubans, according to
this correspondent. are 10 favor OF speedy
annexation to the United States as the
most feasible plan for securing and main.
tsining their independence. and fostering
and developing the resources Of the
island.

Too Much Married.

The Montpelier (Vt.) Journal copies
the following from a private letter,
dated not a thousand miles from White
River Junction: "They have got up
the funniest snarl across the river that
You ever heard of AT a party last
week, at IS, after eXhausting the
ordinary games, and wsnting something
new, meek marriages were proposed.
Accordingly names were drawn by lots,
and four couples stood up to be married.
The ceremony was performed, aud they
duly pronounced imam and wife, by
the laws of the State and before these
witnesses" Afterwards they ascer-
tanned the man officiating was Justice
of the peace, and the parties were legal
" married They are in the greatest
alarm about it that ever was.
One Of them, Prof. --, of T
Seminary, expects lady up from below
in about fortnight to marry him, and
nearly every one involved is expecting
to be married right away-one other
gentlemen to a lady below-and they
feel like death. They have searched
all the law books, and consulted author
tiles far and near, and everything only
proves the knot still tighter. The JUS
tice has been fined $50 for each couple.
He says he is from another county, and
cannot do business here, and supposes
the marriages not to be legal. It is
certainly funny scrape, and made still
tunnier by the fact that all the parties
belong to the upper ten The best
opinion is that they are legally married,
and can only be divorced by the Legis-
lature.
