WEDDING EXTRAoRDIyARY.-LaSt night a
man and woman marched into the police sta
ton and stated their wish to be married imme-
diately. They conld brook no del-y. Deputy
Marshal Bridges, who was in charge, with his
usual courtesy, Immediately went in search of
justice of the peace, and was fortunate
enough to find George Thomas, Esq, in the
Common Council room. where the Haydns were
holding their meeting. A. Mr.. Thomas went be-
low, and in trce the knot was tied, Deputy
Bridges and Constable Hall acting as Witness
es, and knot of reporters standing abont and
enjoying the scene. The knot was tied secure
ly and satisfactorily, but we were panied to no
tice that Mr.. Thomas omitted the usual cere-
mony of kissing the bride. 1t is a very repre-
hensible innovation.
The groom, who bears the aristocratic name
of Fitz Simmons, was rather the worse for liq-
uor, but seemed delighted at the approach of
his prospective happiness. He leaves his bride
for life on the ocean wave and a home on the
rolling deep to-day, which may account for
his gushing joy. The bride was rather down
cast, at the thought of wifely responsibilities
probably, and did not share in the genera |
hilarty. At the conclusion of the ceremony she
