We understand that our brethren, the
Methodists, have recently decided to leave
the word "obey" out Of the marriage
service. Our friends are, as all the world
knows most wiseand prudent denomina.

The GAMING OF GEoRGE WILKEs.-A New
York special to the Chicago Times Of March
10th, says:
An extraordinary scene took place in
Broadway this afternoon. George Wilkes,
editor of the Spirit ofMe Times, was publicly
caned by Warren Leland, proprietor of the
Clarendon Hotel at Saratoga. Mr.. Leland
has been stopping for some weeks pact with
his brother, who is proprietor Of the Metro
po!itan, in Broadway. The Spirit of the
Times, il appears, contained a filthy ard
scandalous alluson to Mr.. Leland's charac-
ter, for which apology was demanded but re-
fused several days since. This afternoon he
was on the lookout for the libeler, and the
moment he saw him he sailed forth from the
hotel. cane in hand, and applied it vigorous
~ to Wilkes's back. The latter fed into a
dry goods store, and Leland retired TO the
hotel, amid crowd of sympathizing friends.
No arrests have as yet been made.
It now appears that Mr.. Lelapd's assault
on George Wilkes was made on the sidewalk
in front of the Brandreth House. Leland
saw Wilkes coming, and. walking up to him.
said "Why did yon call me a id coward
in your paper?' Wilkes sheared off and
said: "Don't you dare to touch me, sir" at
the same time making a movement with his
hands it foelins for pistol Leland,
without further parley, struck him tremend-
Gus blow on the head and shoulders, break
ing the cane to pieces. A crowd now gather
ed around the combatants, the weather be-
ing fine and Broadway full of promenaders
Wilkes tried to make his way out of the
crowd, and as he did so Leland gave him
some parting blows on the back, exclaiming
to the crowd: "There goes the fighting edi-
tor of Wilkes's Spirit Of the Tmes!"
