MARRIAGE LIcENsEs.
An Alarming Decrease In the AIatrI-
mOE1aI Business.

We find, by an examination of the
books of Judge Cunningham, that
there were 9S marriage licenses Issue
during the year 1873, while during the
year 1872 the number was 10, and in
1871, 102. Can it be true that the hard
times have had depressing effect on
matrimony as on almost everything
else? The fact that there is falling
OF of % couples between the years
1877 and 1873. would indicate that
there is something wrong in. Cupld's
department. OF the human affections.
But we shall leave moralizing on this
subject 70 the philosophers, Our desire
being only to give the facts and fig
ures in the case, and express the hope
in a manner of fact sort of way, that
there may be an increase in the mar
riage business during the present year;
that more people may realize the trrie
condition they should hold to society,
and get up business for themselves in
good earnest. There is eatirely too
much sweetness going to waste
around here, and we trust that Stoves

EDITOR News It Is said, {and /
am inclined to think. truly,) that
forbearance sometime ceases to be a
virtue. Now, there lives in our vicin-
jty, man who has for long time
bored, and afflicted, this cotmnunity
with his Misrepresentation of our us.
ually peacable nelghborhood. I refer
to your correspondent CIV" And lest
your many readers get the impression
from his communications in your
totherwise) excellent paper, that our
community is composed of Adulterers,
thieves and robbers, would like to
erise and explain" some of his filings
are at respectable men in our commu-
nifty. Firstly, "V' is a little sharp.
When no wants to assaii the eharac-
ter of & neighbOr, he does it in such a
way that we, the old settlers, or those
Intimately acquainted with the indi-
viduai, know who he means, but he
does not speak out SO that what he
says is untrue, he can be punished as
slanderer. CIV" put some knotsy
questions to the editor of THE EN-
PoRIA News in his last communica-
ton, or the one of Dec. 18th. To the
first we feel like saying. "W, you
ought to know how that is yourselfI'
to the second, "ditto - to the third we
would be little more lengthy. The
public property referred to, We sup
pose to be stone bridge built by "w."
himself, assisted by his brother, paid
tor by the district, or Township and
located on a piece of road which "W."
by extended research, found was not
properly established, upon the line of
which he built house in which he.
now resides, and which he fenced up
and turned out until it was almost i'm
passable except by a man we'll mount
ed. This stone bridge was almost des-
troyed by freshet last spring or win
ter and some one touched it up little
more after "W." had INSTRUCTED the
road, as dbo1e mentioned. We of the
do not kHOa0 bat he did it
himself. His fourth question in said
article, is a short extract, from a
speech of his on his favorite theme
a speech which he seems to consider
appropriate for sabbath and other
school picnic<, 4th of July celebrations,
&C., and from which he favored your
readers with longer extract in q
former article in which he drew q
dark mysterious, enigmatical picture
of some G,ctnl character whose hideous
proportions "W." would have you be-
lieve, were looming up right here in
our midst, threatening decency and
innocence with immediate destruction,
but Ichom, we who know the parties
better, recognize as an individual
being some eight miles from here.
And, "by the way" it was made this
same individuals duty at a certain
time to help tie CIV" upon his pranc-
ing steed, that he might make a show
in the capacity of a "raging tad" in the
nadTshGled hosts of Uncle Sam upon
the Border to defend our homes and
firesides against the invader Price.
With word of caution to "W." will
close, having taxed your patience and
that of your readers, beyond that 1 in
tended. What wish to say to "W.''
is this: Ifyou will live in a glass
house you should not throw stones at
other peoples windows.
