AConneeticut wedding Fee.

A clergyman who was formerly To-
Gated in this city, but is now in New
York, married, little over q year ago,
a couple who at once started for Europe
and have recently returned. The BRIDE
groom was gentleman of wealth, and
before he presented himself before the
bridal alter he placed 500 greenback
in his vest pocket to give the parson
for the marriage fee. While crossing
the ocean he discovered, greatly 10 his
astonishment, the bill in the pocket
where he placed it, and could account
tor its presence there only on the theory
that he must have had another bill of
IA different denomination, which he had
given to the clergyman by mistake
On getting back to this country he de-
termined to solve the mystery, and
waited upon the reverend gentleman
and inquired if on certain date he
did not marry a certain couple. The
clergyman remembered the occasion
perfectly. II know 1 ap about to ask
an impertinent question:" said the
visitor, "but should like to be inform
ed what fee you received for perform
ing the ceremony?" The clergyman
said that he would, of course, gratify
him. Il received" he went on TO say,
"a very small quantity of fine-cut
chewing tobacco, folded i'm a very small
piece of paper" The only thing re.
manning to be done was to apologize,
laugh heartily, shake hands, and make
the s10O deposit good Hartford Cur

.MTSCELE.a.TEOUS.
Astounding Weapon.

From the n. Y. Star.
Mr.. Koykel, of Passaic City, n. J.,
has for ten years past, in connection
with New York mechanic, been at
work on an invention which promises
20 revolutiOnize ordnance. There WAS
An exhibition, on Saturday, in public,
of the gun. The little one used, Satur-
day, looked like twelve foot gas-pipe,
with half-inch bore, carrying needle
shaped bullet. On the under side of
the gun are metallic pockets, each filed
with as much powder as the load at
the breech. AS the gun is fired these
additional charges of powder explode
as the projectile passes through the bar
rel, so that before it gets out il receives
the impending force of each additional
charge. Being spread along the barrel
the danger of an explosion is averted
and the force increased to wonderful
degree. The first shot fired was through
a solid mass of monitor iron four inches
