"Procrastination is the thief Of time"
Such must have been the thoughts of the
young couple who, one day this week,
launched their boat ponthe "trOublous
sea of matrimony." The pilot who has
taken his place at the helm, to steerthat
craft, has seen but sixteen summers roll
DER his head, while his fair companion,
in that perilous voyage, pleads guilty to
but fourteen. They are a brave young
pair, and we wish them success, long
life, happiness and a house full of -
this worlds goods. -t .. ..

Our town has not been blessed, since
our last issue, with asingle drop of rain.
Hot sun, dusty streets, and dull times
are the orderof the day. WehaVe verged
into that state, that we can only lil1en
ourselves unto somnambulists, walk
ing around without an object, and with
just enough energy to say. "Yes, if not
too far, and he keeps ice," to a question
often propounded by candidates. The
cry of "mad-dog" at our heels would
hardly get u decent trot out Of any man
in town. Thereisa dearth of local news
of every kind, shape and description.

On Tuesday last, Tony White, a gen
tleman of. color, was arrested under the
charge of larceny of two pair of shoes
and a hat on the night of the burning of
Bloch s. Dhpre's store. He was brought
before Justice Knox who placed him
under a two hundred dollarbend for his
appearance Mt the next term of the Dis
frict Court. He furnishedthe bond and
was released. Ea8 .I= INV 1sts
Toe much "greased lightning" or a
tendency TO "quote Scripture caused
the arrest. of the immortal Tony again
on Wednesday. Justice nnX, after lis
tening to the evidence on both sides,
concluded that the peace of some of our
citizens depended upon the prisoner be-
ing placed under a five hundred dollar
bond to keep that article about him. No
one appearing who was willing to risk
that amount upon the doye-like dispO-
sition of the gentleman, he was assigned
to that luxurious establishment under
charge of Col. Hayes. There being no
apartment in the Hotel furnished in
suitable style, the Bridal Chamber was
hulriedly prepared for SO distinguished
q parsonage, which chamber he viii oc-
eupy until the furniture used by the
Grand Duke, while he was staying at
the st. Charles, can be procured from
the city to ad0rI his room.
