THE BLUSHING BRIDEGROOM.
Manly Conduct of a Bride I'm Mis-
souri, Under the Leap Year Code.

from st. Joseph paper, February 81
There was nice little party Wednes-
day night at the residence of one Of the
most respectable families in South st.
Joseph, and while the festivities were
progressing, two charming young ladies,
sisters, took a pair of young men by the
arm, remarking that as it was leap year,
they proposed to insist on their preroga-
tives and desired at once to be married.
A squire was called for, and one was
shortly found in the company, in the
person Of our worthy conseryator Of the
peace, Gus. Saltzman.
When this official presented himself,
ready for the delicate business, one Of
the couples forthwith backed out, but
the others stood their ground, and the
Squire proceeded with the ceremony,
asking the high contracting parties sew
eral times during its progress il they
were really in earnest, TO which question
they each time gave an affirmative reply.
They we're thereupon pronounced man
and wife. After the party commenced
to break up to 90 home, the impromptu
groom claimed his bride in all earnest
ness, aud insisted on taking her home
with him, but she demurred and tried 70

Real Estate Transfers.

Among the transfers of real estate for the
past week we notice NJ. L. Patterson, G. & VI,
to j. X. Payne, of the tract of land lying west
of the College grounds, containing between
thirty and forty acres. We have also seen at the
real estate office of Chas. Seymour, plan of
the grounds as Mr.. Payne has laid them out. A
park of four acres called The Circle" is laid
off in the center, and the approach is by way of
Temple Avenue, which is one hundred feet
hundred The lots are all large and the whole
plan strikes US as very fine indeed. The lots
on Temple Avenue are 90x300 and on THE
Circle" the lots front eighty feet and contain
about one acre each. Combining as this land
does an eligible situation, with fine river and
mountain view, we are not surprised to hear Of
many sales of lots. We hear Of sales to the fol-
lowing gentlemen already Geo Andrews, Chas

The Fire.

In yesterday mornings paper we gave prl .,.
account of the fire, which appeared IN our cry

there were in reality two fires the nrsC Oh "hlcn

A colored woman had lighted candle burn

very unwisely placed 1t on straw mattress, IN
tending to extinguish 1t before gong 10 Steep,

room occupied by Mr. McCorkle and his wife
, and gave the alarm when that gentleman arose
and with greal eXertion prevented its spreading
and smOthered the flames with a piece OF mat
ting.
Leaving the woman to clean up the ashes and
burnt straw, Mr.. McC went back to bed, but
she was not as careful as she should have been,
for either the burnt staw only smouldered instead
of the fire being put out, or else she swept some
of it aside without seeing Il, for two hours later
she came running into the main part of the
house, screaming with terror and with her
clothing in flames
Mr.. McCorkle sprang out of bed and snatch

his attention to the burning house.
The alarm was soon responded to by the ar
rival Of the fire department and large num-
Der of citizens on the ground, who did all in
their power to prevent the spreading of the
flames and saving the furniture, but without
avail, for by the time the engines got fairly to
work the fire had made such progress that their
efforts were fruitless.
Mr. McCorkle's loss is heavy, losing the
greater part of his furniture and the clothing
of his family, barely escaping with what they
had on. He himself had a suit packed in a va
lise intending to have gone to Virginia that
day, but was detained, and saved that much

and confusion, and many articles saved were
considerably damaged.
One of the news boys of this office found
Mrs McCorkle's watch lying in the street after
the fire was over, where the. crowd had been
thckest, and strange to say it was not injured
in the least, and returned to Nee.
His loss is especially heavy in bed clothing

number of trunks packed with the same.

The Board of Publication of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, of Nashville, has issued
a Sabbath school library book entitled "Tbe
Tall Man of Winton" 1t has been handed to
US by s 7. Logan, Esq, and we have been
much interested in looking over and particu-
larIy interested in noting the leading points in
the life OF the hero of the book, Nat Grafton"
as in the closing chapter we read that " Nat
Grafton afterward became wise legislator, and
then Cor long years great judge, whose opin-
ions are to-day the law of the land, and will be
for centuries to come" By comparing some of
these leading incidents in the heros life with
those in the life and times of the great Judge
Green, for many years the leading jurist in Ten
nessee and one of the cearest intelects that ever
adorned the bench, we conclude the interesting
book pictures the early life of this great judge.
1t should be in every Sunday school library.
