An Awkward n1istu{ke.

FROM Me t.OHt3Etut C1HF7eF-3oATuuf.
A young gentleman, whose name we aro ro-
quosted to withhold, camo to this city from
Henderson, Ky: q fow days aince and returned
to his homo with lovely, happy bride. Tic
marriage ceremony WAS performed by Rev. W.
G. Butler, Of this city. After procuring the il
conso md making ali other necessary propara-
tons, tho young intondod went to . bank on
dollar gold.pieco, which ho slippcd norvously,
md no doubt thoughtlossly, iuto his pocket, and
Aastenod to Ills nuptialn.
Tho ceremony was duly performed mud tho
happy young husband, only too glad to make tho
i:,to his pocket, and, drawing out what lo sup
posed to bo tho gold piece, without looking ltt
placed It in tho palm Of the reverend gontlomau,
and then wont Oh hiB way rejoicing, proceeding.
will, his bride to Ills homo in Henderson, az.
Btated.
Tho day after tho young mans arrival ut.
the first time after leaving Louisville, Lis tn-
gers came in contact with piece Of mouey the
alZo OF a nickel, and tho young man gave it only
tho consideration Of stray nickel which le sup
posed ho had dropped there in some n,omont of
forgctfnncss, such aa is common with newly
orcn diaulay, OIL taking tho piece from His
pocket o short whilo afterwards, and finding
TINT tho supposed nickel WAS nothing less
than tho five dollar gold pioce intendod
for tho preacher! and, worse than all, tho truth
suddenly 1ashed through his mind that ho had
tho marriage ceromony for him.
lle now understood tho moaning of tho Nnlf-
amused, half-puzzled look Which ho lad noticed
for Q momons in tho minister's oyo, and went
strhigltway to make roparation. Accordingly, a
day Or two ago: tho reverend gentleman received
with tho golden foo which was originally intond-
ed for him.

"a ,woelthy gentleman. living in Lancashire,
Englanl becoming Jealous OF Tie attentions OF.
u noighhor to his wife, resolved to wreak his
vengeance upon him. Whi.o ho was planning
how to ayengo himself, tho vito and noighboc
happened to so on t4o same train Of cars to m
adjacent town OIL tho samo dny, and the hus-
bantl securing the services of a professional
lugillst, awaited tho return Of the offender at u
convo1icnt point Of observation near lhe railroad
station. Just in tho dusk Of evcnng tho neigh
bor returned and 80 did tho wife, and M tioy
walked with tho crowd from tho station, tho
husband and the pugiliBt followed them. On
coming to convenient spot, tho husband gave
tho sgnnl md tho rugilist rushed upon tho
neighDor and knocked him down. The wife gave
soroam and fod, without knowing who had at
tackled her companion, but Bupposiug the asaail-
anita to bo robbnrs.
Tho pugilist then held tho PROSTATE man
while, III tho evidence before the Court states,
the husband "poundel him, choked him, and
worried him with Lis teoth." The unfortunate
man was subsequently, found in Il poarly dying
condition. and taken home. A surgeon exam
lned his Wounds aud pronounced them exceed
ingly dangerous, and perhaps fatal. His daposi-
ton was talen by q magistrate, and warrant
WIS Issued tho next morning for tho arrest Of
his assailants. The husband was taken In ous-
tody aud held to bail in tho sum of eco, ,0O0-
S100, ,o00-but tho pugiBt could not ba found.
An tho parties arc wealthy and OF lgh social
connections, tho affair has created a great son.
