Miss Apglsds, the young lady who sued her
guardian the other day for permission to marry
the object of her choice, and who won her suit on
Saturday, proceeded. we have since learned i'm.
mediately from the court to Mr.. Justice Monta.
mat, and from him obtained the license necessary.
Thence to st. Patricks Church, and ere TWO
O'Clock she was Mrs. DeCoursey. Yesterday,
when the marriage was two days old, Mr.. F.
Haynes, counsel for Mrs. DeCoursey's tutor. ap
pesred at the bar of the Supreme Court and
there moved for a writ of prohibition to proven.
the marriage of Miss ADglads. The court, prob
ably to find out if such young lady any longer
existed, took the matter under advisement. We
imagine that the decision will De that the name
in the motion should be Mrs. DeCoursey. We
have heard before of locking the stable door after
the steed was stolen. but this is the most happy
instance Of that extreme csrefulness that we ever
encountered.
The fair at Baffer's Building for the benefit OF
the German Protestant Orphan Asylum was last
night again thrown open to the public, whe very
literally took advantage of the extension of time
granted in which they might do q good work.
The receipts last night must have gladdened the
hearts of the managers Of the fair. for they GER
tsinly were not small. The fair will continue for
two nights longer, and tomorrow evening every
thing luot sold will be disposed of at auction-
rare chance for investments innumerable. We
would add here that the splendid set of harness
to be voted to some fire company in town will
only remain open for competition during this even
ing, as it will be presented tomorrow night. To
register only demands as a qualification twenty
five cents in greenbacks. and no challenging al.
lowed. Letthe friends OF the several companies
see to it that each company is well supported in
the vote.
The contractors are busy Smelling Burgundy
street from Elysian Fields street out to the great
satisfaction of owners OF vehicles and the appre-
tensions of residents whose furniture is not i'm.
proved by the shell dust.
A gentleman who keeps a store on Canal
street, who had not seen gold piece in many
days, yesterday in order to accommodate for
eigner, changed piece of gold for him, giving
him. however, the change for ten dollars instead
OF five, the real value of the piece. This is
another reason why we should return to gold cur.
rency-the people are fast forgetting what
gold is.
College, established in this city since the war, has
become a fixed fact in our midst. 1t commenced
with few pupils and small corps of professors;
but they had plenty of energy amongst them, and |
struggling against all obstacles, the enthusiasm of
its founders. aided by their sound Judgment, has |
assured it permanent existence. The annual |
