The West Point Miss Citizen relates
that number of newspapers are agitating
for change of the name of Colfax county
the region in which West Point il sitn-
ated. The 8 Citizen " is in favor of the
change because it does not like "the word
Colfax;" Others because they do not like
the thing-Colfax. The sound is disagreea-
bic, and no better the sense. 1t savors of
the Credit Mobllier and lies. The Wash
ington ''Capital'' thinks Mississippi had no
business In the first place 10 have a Colfax
county having one, its business should be
to get rid of it as soon as possible. If the
county must be named after a man. name
1t after some one who has finished his ca
reer without having been exposed aE
thief, liar and hypocrite.

Our Acting Governor made a very
feeble attempt at pulling wool over the
eyes Of the sable 'publicans in his part
ing speech 10 the expiring Legislature,
on the Social Equality question; but it
made no impression, and received faint
applause. The object was apparent. His
colores auditors remembered that while
he boosted his exploit in signing the
dead-letter civil rights (so-called) bill,
he bad on but one occasion extended the
Inequalities of the Mansion, without re
gard to race, color or previous condition.

From the Winsted Comm II erald.
A marriage ceremony occurred in the classic
locality ofSunkap0gue, East Lyme, on Thanks
giving day, which merits notice. 1t was cee-
brated at the residence Of Deacon George
GriswOld. The bridegroom was John Griswold
Rogers, youthful bachelor of seventy EIGHT
summers, who wOOed and won his bride more
that half hundred years ago. The blushiDg
bride was Eliza DenisOn GriswOld, who is
slightly past sweet sixteen-there having been
several cold winters since then-at the present
time she Is of the mature age of seventy nine.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J..
y. HOugh Of the Congregational Church.
Among the guests were two brothers Of the
bride, aged unitedly 13l years. Another
brother, aged Seventy-seven, was absent.
Alien Rogers of New London, aged eighty
one, a-brOther OF the groom, was detained at
home. 1t will be seen that the couple belong
to q lOng-lived race, and they no doubt have
many years of welded bliss before them.
The bride has lived all her life in the house
next the one in which the editor of this paper
was born (and he IS no spring chicken) and
resided during the first four mOmentOuS years
Of his life, and among his earliest recollections
is that of the lOw-hung, pointed, brass-mounted
swallow tail of this Identical "luYyer as it fol-
lowed its wearer past "our house" to make
the regular Sunday evening visit to this identi-
cal maid. Unless we are greatly in error the
father OF the Herald editor the late Rev. II. l..
VAIN. being then the pastor Of the church in
East Lyme, published this constant couple
about the year 1882 or 1883, and the wedding
was expected to take place Immediately
thereafter. And so far as is known, there never
was any misunderstanding or unpleasantness,
or milf or flare-up that can be assigned as
the cause of the delay. They have always
been considered "engaeed," both by them.
selves and the neighbOrs, and during a visit
to East Lyme, not very long ago, we were
informed that this ancient beau still made
