klNDERIooN, January 0.-Ihere
were some momentuus calls made on
New Years Day by residents Of THIS
lovely village, some OF is golden
youth drove hence to Chatham 10 see
the New Hear In at the hOspilAblu
mansion Of Miss Anna Clifford, All
Went merry US, not one, but Two mar
riage bells-as II turned out, The fun
was fast for awhile. But paror games
are not satisfying IN their nature
Young America Is nothing If not auda-
clous. He hit upon an Idea. "Say,
fellers, let's have u weddin' ~ The
young ladies said tho idea was perfect
~ splendid Then they said, "Oh !!
tut who'll get marriedg' 81 WILL
said young Perrine, sou OF that effect
I've Democratic campaigner, II q. Per
rine, Clerk of the Court OF Appeals.
He stood up rs II he were u ChlcngOan,
as II he were used TO IT, "Oh, yes, and
Lizzie you must be bride" This
was Miss Lizzie Lee, who lives
near Troy, but who was ON u
visit to her aunt, Mrs. Bradley, Of Kin
derh0ok. Miss Lizzie required the
usual amount of persuasion, hut she
blushingly took her place AZ last. The
ladies said; ooh! won't 1t he fun?
Let's have two couples" And so
young Mix, son of james Mix, an
Albany jeweler, who lives in Kinder
book, stood up, The choice Of his
partner was not so unanimous as In
the first ease but Miss Lizzie Dennis,
Of Undertook, was finally persuaded
to personate the second bride. The
places of bridesmaids and groomsmen
were quickly supplied Upon Mr..
Cole, schOOl.teacher here, fell natu-
rally the lot of reading the marriage
service. He did it AS one ordained TO
the Office. When he had said Whom
God hath joined together let no man
put asunder,n the ladies would have
looked solemn, If the young gentle
men had not just then been Insisting
that no wedding ceremony can he
complete without kissing the bride.
Soon after the village church-bells had
rung their Centennial chimes the
youthful party drove gaily to their
homes, The ladies gave animated de-
scriptions next day OF the loneliness of
the brides, and the solemnity of the
ceremony. 1t had looked, they VOW
ed aud declared, just for all the world
like marrying in real earnest; If they
wouldn't begin TO think % asking
10 be married more delightfully."-
than Mr.. Cole had done il "What
not the Rev. Mr.. Cole, here" asked
mamma. "Why, Mr.. Cole, the teach
err "Why, what do you mean?
Don't those silly girls know that Mr.
Cole is a real minister? Why, what
have they been thinking about ~
Mammals dropped on each other and
compared notes 1t was even so, Only
two years ago the Rev. II. II. Cole eX-
changed his calling rs an eXpounder of
texts for that of propounder of arith-
metical problems at Undertook. The
youngsters that had thus been playing
with matrimonial fire had burned their
fingers on the Rev. Cole. Undertook
mothers and Undertook maidens of
every condition are palpitating over
the subject. Rumprs Of all kinds null
tiply daily. One is that the gentle
man first named is satisfied to have
matters remain as they are; that he is
like the schoolboy sentenced by Old
Master Brown for some otfense to sit
among the girls.
| Then Anthony Blair with mortified air,
| With his head down ON his breast
Took his penitent seat by the maiden sweet
| That he loved of all the best.
Whether the young lady will be
willing to stay Mrs, Perrine, is not
known as yet In the other case it is
said that there must be divorce, Mr..
Mix being engaged to n young lady
living near Hudson.
