WHY WEDDING DID Nor TAKE
PLAoE.-We recently published an item
stating that lady, terming her, we be-
lieve, San old maid. went to Fairhayen
to be married, but wasn't, because it was
discovered that her intended was already
husband, etc. A correspondent takes
exception to the account, and thinks it
only concerns the lady herself "whether
she is an old maid," and as that is
question of taste we will let it pass.
They did not quite arrive at the point
of marriage, it seems, although the gem
tleman had ''been paying her some at
tentions, declaring himself unmarried,
and she accepted them on that ground.
Some person acquainted with her, hear
ing a report that he was already mar
ried, obtained the address of his wife,
and wrote to her. She (his Wife came
on at once to see Miss Kelley at her
formed that Miss K. had been entirely
ignorant of Eer existence, and had Ro
idea of attempting an elopement. There
the matter ended. Miss K. is lady
highly respected in the community So
much for our correspondents statement
in extenuation of the lady. We do not
think it was needed, unless it was to de-
fend her from the charge Of being IAN
old maid We have not the item be-
fore US, but if we remember it Alright,
it distinctly stated that as soon as the
fact Of the prior marriage of the pro-
posed bridegroom was known to the
lady, she, as in dnty bound, declined TO
proceed The point Of the item was
against the man, rather than the lady,
except in SO far a. she might have been
a little too fast in engaging herself to
almost an entire stranger and as it
proved 10 a married man al that

Spain Recognized by the United
States.
MADRID. Feb. 18. 1873


Much excitement was caused here by
the ceremonies attending the recognition
of the new Republic by the American
Minister. During the crisis dispatches
were sent hourly to the Washington
government, and prompt response was
sent by Mr.. Fish to General Sickles, di-
recting him to recognize the new gov
ernment in the name of General Grant
and the American people.
The hour fixed for the presentation of
our Minister had not arrived when the
Alcala, the principal street of Madrid,
on which the palace of the President
stands, was crowded with a vast multi
tude of people. Two official chariots
were driven to the American Legation,
in one of which was the Count del Seno,
the officer charged to introduce ambas-
sadors. The Minister wore his uniform
as Major General of the American army,
and was accompanied by A. A. Adee,
the secretary of the Legation. Upon
passing down the Alcala there were loud
shouts of 'EViva" and cheers for General
Grant, the Minister, the Republic of
Spain, and the United States. The
troops presented arms as the General
and secretary entered the palace. The
whole Cabinet was present, and as our
Minister was formally presented by
Count del SenO, he stepped forward and

How WAsHINGToN's SALARY WAS
DRAWN. A curious statement having
been made as to President Washington
decling to receive any payments for sal
ary, one of the city papers publishes
data which shows that our Pater Patria
collected his dues with .commendable
regularity. He was sworn in April
30th, 1889. Congress gave the Presi-
dent 1925, 900 per annum, and the first
warrant ever paid on the Presidential
salary was for $1,000. This was on the
26th of September, 1889. The law was
approved on the 24th-two days before.
Up to December 27th, 1891, he received
$72, $50. His accounts closed March
Tth, 1897, and the warrent settling it was
for the amount of 1875. The warrants
drawn before the President was paid
were for members and Senators, but
they did not get their money till three
days after Washington.

DEATH OF LUTHER Cross s-Wc have
to record the sudden death of still an
other and an old citizen Of Montpelier,
who was for many years active among
its business men, Luther Cross was at
tackled by apoplexy at noon on Saturday
last, and died at about noon on Sunday
He came to Montpelier in 1922 and en-
tered into the mercantile business, which
he pursued for many years. He bore
his part in the civil and political duties
of the citizen was candidate Of his
party for town representative, often
elected magistrate, and in 1913 was
elected TO the State Office of Sergeant-at-
Arms by the General Assembly. He re-
ceived six elections to this office, and as
head and assistant has been employed in
it nearly every year since his election in
184S. It is remarkable coincidence
that two citizens of this town, both pub
lie officers for many years, and so very
widely and favorably known throughout
the State, should die suddenly within
four days of each other.

SALMoN.-A paper which generally
tells the truth, and which we are com
PEELED to believe on the. present occa-
sion, says that in the early history of
this country the salmon were 50 plcnti-
full and so cheap in some localities that
the indentures of hired servaats some
times contained Il proviso that they
should not be compelled to rat the deli
cious fish oftener than once week.
The same increase of value it is pre-
dicted, will happen to the now com
mon herring, which has recently be
come uncommonly scarce on the coast
OF Scotland, and therefore commands
high prices.

conference Of prominent and influential
colored Republicans, representing all the Wards
Of the city of Richmond, was held in that city
on last Wednesday night, when the following
preamble and resolutions, prepared by COM
mittee appointed at previous meeting were
read and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, we have been subjected to the
most gross impositions by class claiming to
be the only bit sources to trust in handling and
shaping our political rights, and. whereas, we
have so long remained docile and obedient to
their dictates that they feel assured in the most
assumed approaches; and, whereas. We believe
them desirous of keeping up burning anti
patty between the colored and Whites in order
to benefit themselves at the expense of both
classes; therefore, be it

ResotUed, That We invite and welcome all

fore the law regarding public privileges and

can add more to the permanent settlement of
those questions or assume them with less inn

most antagonistic to them.
Resolred, That we believe if the prejudices
OF the whites, eDgendered by the irregular or

the colored, produced from retrospection, was
removed, much good would accrue to both
classes, thus making our old State what every
good man would have it to be.
Resotued, That we will net allow the fimsy,
fictitious and deceptive walls reared and set up
by political deceivers, longer separate us from
