Lopez at one time threatened that he would

MARRIAGES NDER THE NEW Law
The public perhaps are not fully appraised
that it is necessary, under the new law,
for parties intending marriage To procure
licepse from the town clerk before a
clergyman can perform the ceremony.
The first marriage service under the new
law was performed by Rev. Edward Mills,
pastor of the Baptist Church, ON Wednes-
day, Dec. lat, uniting Mr.. George i.
Clark and Mrs Lizzie A. Donahue, The
license in this case was recorded in the
town clerks Office as number one
This was not the first marriage IN the
State under the new law. The Rev John
G. Hale united couple at Chester, on
Sunday last. the clergyman having
read the new law on Saturday. When the
parties appeared they were ignorant OF
the law and had procured no license
Fortunately, however, they were soon
relieved from the dilemma, for il appeared
that the gentleman At whose house the
parties We're assembled was town clerk
The clerk supposed he had no form, but
remarked that he had received q package
from the Secretary of State, which he had
not opened, and on examination it was
found to be blanks for the document
wanted, and one was Immediately issued
and the clergyman was enabled to proceed
with the ceremony.

TIE MARRIAGE IN TIKI SIGk-ROOM.
The unfavorable symptoms set in about
II O'Clock Tuesday forenoon. and early
in the afternoon his physicians thought il
desirable that the wishes expressed by
both MIR. Richardson and Mrs. Sage. and
by their relatives and friends FIR their
marriage, should be no longer opposed,
though heretofore, in view of the necessi-
~ of keeping the sufferer perfectly quiet,
they thought best that the ceremony
should be postponed. The Rev. III. w.
Beecher-who had promised on Monday
evening TO hold himself in readiness when
called upon to perform the services-was
accordingly sent for, and reached the As
tor House between and 6, in company
with the Rev. n. NJ. Field, ID. D., and the
Rev. o. B. rockingham. The physicians
were also III waiting, and after Mr.. Rich
ardson had been made as presentable and
comfortable as circumstances would per-
nit, the clergy were admitted. to the sick
chamber and stood by the bedside of the
sufferer, while Mrs. Sage sat near, clasp
ing the right hand of the patient, and the
numerous personal friends and relatives
present stood at the door and around the
bed. The marriage services then fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Frothingham-Let US pray.

this place and at this moment to bless these
Thy children with that blessing which
Thou alone canst give-a blessing which
shall make the dying bed full of peace and
satisfaction and gratitude; that shall make
the living heart full of courage and faith.
Bind together these two hearts, our
Father, and though the hands may not
hold each other through the journey of
life, may these hearts still be one before
Thee, to whom life and death, the world
70 como and this world, arc the same.

RUTLAND, Dec. 2, 1869.
Mr.. Editor While I enjoyed, as did
ell present, Mr.. Frederick Douglass lec-
ture last night, and was amused by his
remarks on the French, I regret for his
sake that he took such an imperfect and
superficial view Of the French element in
the United States. For his own benefit,
as vol as that Of your readers, beg to
lay the following facts before the public:
|. Although the French do not emigrate
in large numbers, and doubtless for rea-
sons which appear good to them, yet they
with their descendants number now over
half million. This settled population is
found in Louisiana, in the Southern and
Western States, in all the large cities in
New York State and in New England.
