How a Couple Caromed from Priest 90
Magistrate

NOW ~ NOuFAo CbEoAAeA AEoAn A-FAt-al 20
Magistrate.
Louisville Cotrier-Journal, April g.
Quite = sensation was created in st.
Mary's Church, on the corner Of Eighth and
Grayson streets, about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. A marriage was to take place
there, which, however, didn't. A young
man, an employe Of MuldOOn g. Co., who
resides on Thirteenth street, sud q young
lady residing somewhere on the same street,
not a thousand miles from the young man,
had determined to get married. UnfOrtu-
nately, the young lady was of the
Protestant faith, while her lover was
a believer in the Catholic relig-
ion. The parents Of the young lady,
who is not Of age, were on this account op
posed to the union Of these two souls with
but a single thought, but they determined
to marry despite the parents opposition.
About week ago the young lady embraced
the Catholic faith, in order to become
united in the bonds Of matrimOny, and the
marriage was set for yesterday afternoon
about the hour stated above.
The parents Of the young lady still con-
t:nued to oppose the marriage, and the en-
trance Of their daughter into the folds Of
the Catholic church only tended to increase
that opposition. They sent word yesterday
to the priest that they would hold him re-
spOnsible if the marriage took place. How
ever, the church was opened and about 500
spectators crowded it to witness the expect
ed ceremonies.
At the appointed time the organ pealed
forth the wedding march in solemn, i'm
pressive tones, the heads Of the spectators
were turned to the entrance, and the bride
and groom entered, followed by brides
maids and grOOmsmen, and marched up to
the chancel. At this point the priest,
decked in his robes, stepped up to the bri-
dal party, whispered TO the groom, who in
turn whispered into the ear Of the bride,
and to the surprise OF the assembly that
had anxiOusly awaited the ceremony Of two
happy hearts being made one, the bridal
party turned around and walked out
Of the church without having the nuptial
knot tied. From the church they took a
carriage and drove away. The disappOint-
ed spectators looked al the priest, who also
left the church, and then departed them
selves, unable to account for the sudden,
mysterious departure Of the bride, groom
aid attendants, and tie whisperings Of the
priest. But before night many Of them
were enlightened. The young lady and
zaatl lanau- after driving away from the
LAl-o -lls-1 .-.iage, took The train for JEFF
..--t, and were there made one by
ilws Of Indiana. They Immediately
lelumed 10 the city. 1t seems the priest
I'D thnsshi Jest, in view Of the opposition
OF the young lady's parents, that they
should hrst be married by some officer le-
gally qualified, and then afterwards they
csuld be married in accordance with the
ritual Of the Holy Church Of Rome. The
parents Of the young lady will now have
to content themselves as best they can.

est and most popular men in the State, and
being desirOus Of giving his son a good ed
ucatiOn, sent him TO Fayette, Mo-; this be-
ing q small place, he thought bis son would
not get an opportunity Of practicing his
Tascalitv. After POmerOy had been there
for a few weeks, his father went 70 visit
him, and found he had gotten deeply in
debt, and was engaged to be married 90 a
Young lady, who had broke her engage
ment for this purpose. blr. Beeding think

How was be to get IL?
lie finally agreed TO kill his father,

ted the family. To DO this, he tried to get
Mr. St9ntOn, man Of not the highest

81 800 if he would do TO-, and told him that
he could get a man in St. Louis TO do It fer
$500. but was afraid the st. Louis man
would kill the wrong one. Mr.. Stanton
told Pomeroy to meet him in a log house,
on a certain night, and they would proceed
from there to kill them.
Mr.. Stanton had no idea Of killing them,
but was going TO tell Mr.. Baeding Of his
sons designs. Thinking Mr. B. would
not believe him, Mr.. Stanton got two men
to accom- pany him to the log house. so IS to
have some proof After they had arrived
at the house, POmerOy commenced telling
Stanton, and just then the men from un-
derneath came in, grabbed him, and took
him 10 his father.
Mr.. Beeding had him hOrseWhipped,
gave him a draft for ifty dollars, and dis
carded him. POmeTOy went TO Glasgow,

Destruction Of Horses and Mules by
Buffalo GBats.

Complaints are pouring in from all the
surrounding counties of the fearful destruc-
ton Of hoIses and mules by buffalo gnats.
Many small planters, especially cOlOred
ones, are ruined by having their only
horses or mules killed, and being unable to
replace them at a time when they are so
badly needed. The Ledger publishes a
letter from planter near Macon, Fayette
county, which says: ''NOt less than 200
horses and mules have died during the past
three days within ten miles of this place.
l went down to my farm yesterday, distant
six miles, and counted 81 dead on the way.
have lost four on my farm, and DR.. Hun
ter five, while some planters have lCst as
high as thirty head. II looks like starva-
tiOn to the people without money. Some
farmers will be compelled to turn out a

money to replace the stock"
