WAS THE MARRIAGE ILLEGAL.

Recently a gentleman from Henderson
county procured license in this county to
marry one of MadisOn's lOveliest daughters.
The ceremony was performed at the resi-
dence of the brides father, in this county,
by a magistrate from Henderson. About a
week after the marriage the question was
raised as to whether the Henderson magis-
trate had the right to sOlemnize matrimOny
in another county. The father Of the bride
consulted his neighbOrS, and came to the
conclusion that the marriage was illegal.
Here was a predicament indeed, and the
brides father lost no time in procuring
Madison magistrate, and having the aston
ished pair remarked. But the question is,
was the first marriage illegal?

AS to funding rings" it is now in
order for the KnozriHe Chronicle to
give its readers a rest. Judge Houk
distinctly charges from the stump that,
while he was member Of the Legisla-
ture, the only man who ap-
preached him with a corrupt
proposition in connection with the
funding bill was William Rule, one of
the prOprietOrs of the Chronicle. In
this case, he seems to have been one of
the Rules that work both ways.

OMAHA, Aug. 24.-GOv. Furnas has is
sued a circular to set the true state of af-
fairs before the people. He says that in
formation received from various counties,
together with personal observation, war
rants the assertion that while the crops are
shorter than for several years, there is by
no means a failure. Small grains are an
average. Corn is from half to no crop.
Oats are very short. Fruit is more in guam
tity, but inferior in quality. In no case is
immediate need reported. At a number of
points on the border help Till be required
sOOn, and must be extended through the
winter. There are myriads Of grasShOp-
pers in the air to-day, going south.
