FIRST BOARD.

- Tennessee bonds we're quoted in New
York yesterday at 674 for the old and Ga
for the new.
The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the 2lst inst. says; Tennessee bonds
continue dull; the dispatch in the morn
ing papers to the effect that a bill provid-
ing for the sale of defaulling railroads had
passed the lower branch of the legislature
without dissenting vote, had no effect on
the price ofthe bonds. The disordered con-
dition of affairs in that State more than
neutralizes this action of the legislature"

The people living over the Capitol Hill
were greatly startled, Sunday morning, al
certain intelligence received from a certain
couple, who had run away and married.
The parents were deeply opposed to the
marriage, but the "old man." for indeed
he was an aged man, who does not livea hun
dred miles off, could not resist the tempta-
ton, and hence the elopement.
