A BOGUs MARRIAGE NOTICE AND WHAT
CANE OF lT.-Some fifteen years ago. more
or less, a young man of dissolute habits, y
resident OF Altoona, conceived and execu-
ted the idea of giving publicity, through
one of the local journals. to bogus mar
riage notice, in which a certain James L..
C-n and a Miss Anna G-m figured
as the contracting parties. The reputed
bridegroom was of course highly indignant
at the liberty thus taken with his Cogno-
mon, but subsequently learning the source
from whence it originated, his indignation
gave way to that feeling which once upon
a time o'ercame the pertul bed spirits of the
mythical individual whom the iaCkass kick
ed whereupon he straightway went and
made love to the young lady "a servant girl
in the vicinity with whose name so much
freedom had been taken, and after the
usual billing and cooling the loving twain
were made ''bone of one bone etc, not
however until the fair one had fallen heir
to several thousand dollars left by de-
ceased uncle in Germany. which streak OF
good luck probably added to rather than
diminished Anna's charms in James esti-
nation. BE tina as it may, the newly we'd
dcd betOOk themselves to Iowa, where they
went to work with a will, a horse or two,
various ploughs, and several other farming
concOmitants, and now they are worth, ac-
cOrding to the Altoona Tribune, or were
the other day when they passed through
that city homeward bound, about Sl2O, 900
in clear cash, to say nothing of the little
''olive hrauches'' which have, we presume,
grown up around them and made their
hearts glad in the interim. And so ends
the story of the bogus marriage notice.
