giving so large fee as he desired, and
asked permission to send it few days
later OF course, the request was grant
ed. AT later stage of the proceedings
the groom again consulted the minister.
This time he wanted to borrow some
money. The clergyman began to COM
prehend the situation, but conceded this
point also, with small loan. The hap.

600 in shares of 500 The corporators
are men of ample means for successfully
prosecuting a very large business and we
do not see why Toledo may not be the
proper source of supply for large trade
in this line. The marble procured at
Middlebury is of the very finest quality.
Some of the specimens which we have
seen are susceptible of very high polish.
