ONLY HALF MARRIED.-A few days since a
young couple registered their intentions to
be married at the City Clerks office. The
Clerk recorded their names in due form, gave
them little of that excellent advice of which
he has so bountiful store, and pocketed the
fee. Yesterday the intending woman told a
friend that she was married and living with
her husband. On cross-examnatio she de-
scribed the ceremony that the Clerk went
through when she was, as she supposed, united
to her true-love in the bones of matrimony.
At this recital she was informed that she had
only been Registered" and could not be mar
ried until she received her certificate. This
made trouble in the young woman's mind, and
she at once started for her brevet husband and
broke the awful intelligence to him. He was
thunder struck, and the once happy couple are
debating what to do about it.

Tho bill introduced in the House for
the consolidation of the three grand di-

to-day. There seemed to be general
feeling that, if possible, it ought to be
done.
The Supreme Court is now held in three
places in the State, viz: Ottawa, Spring.
field and Mount Vernon. At eacn Of
these places there is a library and al the
separate offices and attaches TO run the
court. 1t Is we'll known that all of
the members of the court, with the ex-
ception of Chief Justice Breese, ore in fla

sons, among which Is the fact that not one
Of the judges can, save for one or two
months in the year enjoy the comforts Of

IL all tho terms OF tho court
were held here they could for the six
years for which they are elected, move
their families here. Again, whea as is the
case, opinions are written by zach OF the
judges during vacation, it has to be sent
to each judge by mail for his concurrence

A few nights ago, sccording 10 the

sometimes walking around and under
their horses. o. t4oir return by the

and II acted as before. When the negro
was found hanging to o limb the next day
after his execution, he was taken down
