From Aspen Hill.

EDITOR CITIZEN = Knowing that you
prize highly the communications you
receive from our wide-awake village,
we propose TO treat you to another; not,
however, that we have any special
news or any more subscribers for you.
As to your excellent paper, every one
in these parts who cares to keep him
self posted has already subscribed for
it. You will be delighted to learn that
our village grows apace, and that the
sounds OF busy industry, the shrill whis-
tie of the locomotive, the crash of the
saw mill, the ring of the anvil, the
click of the yarG-stick, and the CUR
gle of the GOOGLE are heard in our midst.
An occasional CLEAN of sunshine be-
tween showers bTightens the prospects
of the farmers, and many of them now
indulge the hope of being able to plant
their crops this spring. A marriage
has recently occurred between parties
who live in this neighborhood, which
has been the sensation of the day. A
juvenile bachelor of about forty-five
summers has been married to a mature
though estimable lady of perhaps sixty
five years. She will doubtless train
him up in the way he should do, as she
is an experienced wife, having been
married three times before. We ten
der to them our best wishes with the
hope that they may be numerously blest
in the usual way.
Our clever young friend, Billy Strong,
had his house burned short time since
in his absence. He has been living a
miserable, lonely bachelor life for some
time, and that is what came of it. The
lesson, it is thought, viii not be lost up
on him, for, like a sensible man, he will
''take u wife" to protect the one he is
going to build from similar household
calamity. We tender him our synpa-
thies in his misfortune, provided he
takes the course here suggested.
Talking about domestic concerns re-
minds us of novel way of adjusting
small family Jars that has been resort
ed to, as we are informed, in thi sYicin-
ity. That the method, however, is
deeply colored need not prevent it from
being regarded as a safe precedent. Mr..
and Mrs. Barker are both of the EthiO-
plan persuasion, and were joined in the
holy bonds of wedlock about two years
ago. Now, whether the rosy God pre-
sided over their nuptials and blended
two loving hearts in one, is not for US
to inquire, but it seems that their love
has not run its course smoothly, for
since their honeymoon waned they
have been living a very mixed sort of
life, mixing more or less as their fan
eies were centripetai or fttgal, or vice
versa. The ebony head of this family
is young and ardent, while the dssky
partner of his domestic infeiicitieS has
| fallen in the scar and murky leaf, and
fails TO inspire a sentiment so tender as
to preclude the conjugal irregularities,
which, as far as we know, may occur in
the best regulated families. Be this as
it may, though the charms of the anti
qIIated Mrs. b. may hang as a heavy
drag upon the heartstrings of the youth
fgl husband, his footsteps have strayed
50 frequently and so far into Forbidden
paths, that the church Of which they
are both members has taken the matter
: in hand. Now, the Rev. Mr.. Coleman,
who dispenses law and gospel to the
sable community that wofships at Tun-
I mel Hill, has head that isn't kinky for
nothing; for il was LETT for him TO
1 evolve out OF the chaos which reigns in
/ the sooty household Of Bro. b. the navel
/ solution CT the martial offishness that
/ has threatened to separate f reveT this
| iRhaTmOniOus twain. To bis brilliant
/ intellect the shortest way out Of this
4 eonnuhial middle was 10 marry over
/ this divergent couple, and thus reuhite
I the divided household. This was ae-
cordingly dones peace was Fsss sOred, and
under Frightening auspices they en-
tered anew the path 70 matrimonial
] possibilities.
Now, Mr. Editor, this new usode OF
restoring the disturbed equilibrium Of
