CIRcrIr CorRT-The September Term
OF our Circuit Court opened on Monday
morning last, Judges Brent and Ford,
presiding. Judge Brent charged the
Grand Jurors in his usual clear and in
Jressive manner. c. plinentlng them IN
land.cme terms on their full and prompt
attendance. He advcrted 10 the increase
Of crime in our community and suggested
- the best remedy tie bringing of often

hstween murder snd granddaughter and
pointed out the difference in the several
grade, OF larceny. Reference was mode

negro people, rlo had been reported as
disturbing their neighbors by carousing
until late ho ur Of the night in a certain
building within our village limits and as
misbeL having in similar manner while
passing through our streets. He described
This as nuisance, the al atcment Of which
the law clearly authorized, and he stated
that it was the duty of the proper officers
to arrest parties so offending. The con-
di,ion CT our jail was then passed in re-
view and was spoken ofas disgrace to our
county and ms a serious embarrassment to
the administration of justice. In this
connection, His Honor. u-ually the very
impcrsonation Of judicial gravity, relaxed
into IN anecdote, which described ira

The jenkins sketches of fashionable
weddings in Church are well taken off in
the following burlesque:
BIG THING.
On Thursday evening last the meeting
house was crowded with people to wit
ness the first public marriage which has
taken place in this town. The bride was
Maria johnson, square shouldered, red
headed girl, daughter of old Johnson,
the soap maker, and tho groom, Mark
Marks, twin brother of Luke Marks, the
cross eyed chap who ran away with
Squire Dobson's youngest daughter, Sal,
about three months ago. Mark, as he
walked up the broad aisle, trotted along
as if he was stepping on eggs; but Maria
struck bold gait, and was the admired
of all spectators.
Altogether the march up the aisle was
a success. Joe Croker, son of the late
candy peddler, and John Simpson,
known as the "gay boy with the glass
eye," acted as ushers, and slung them
selves with perfect looseness in per-
forming their duties. For downright
style, Joe ard John can wear the belt.
Our reporter, who was present, dressed
in a brass coat and blue buttons, and
carrying gingham umbrella, noted
down the names and harness Of some of
the persons present, which we give as a
matter of special interest:
Mrs. Job Tuttle wore a braided straw
hat, made for the occasion by Mrs. Jones
milIiner; and it is not too much to say
that the latter can make the best millin-
cry of any woman in the business.
Mrs. Tuttle's dress was striped gingham,
with an outside garment of the same
material. She was the observed OF all
observers.
Lucy Johnson had on green berage
dress, with partalettes of nankeen, edg-
ed with two cent edging, and made a
very fine appearance. Her pantalettes,
10 particular, fitted remarkably well
around the ankles, and displayed her
shoestrings to good advantage.
Mrs. John Baldwin looked exceedingly
pretty in large plaid silk, which, we un-
derstand, was cut over from dress worn
by her sister Emma, deceased. For a
eut-oyer dress it was one of the best we
ever saw.
Lydia Rose had on a low necked, ser-
rel colored alpaca, frizzed with brown
ribbon; and her sister Jane wore low
necked yellow print, with good deal
of tucking. Low necks become this
family.
We have the names of several others,
but want of space compels US to omit
them. After the ceremony the newly
married couple returned to the home OF
the bride, and one who was present in
forms us that the way mince pies and CT
der suffered during the evening was a
caution to dyspeptics. Only one incident
occurred TO mar the pleasure of the occa-
sion. John Somers, who is counting a
sister of the bride, got a walnut meat in
his windpipe, .and nearly suffocated be-
fore relief was obtained. Barring this
mistaken swallow, the reception was a
success.
