A LONG WH.K TO GET MARRIEp.-
The Free Grant On. W Gazette
says domestic event has transpired
there of much interest to our seclu-
dcd community, namely, tho mar>
riage of Miss Lambicr and Mr..
John Vaughn. To get q marriage
license, the bridegroom walked
from his place of future residence
five miles from Beggsboro', to
Burk's (nine milos). Mr.. Burk not
being at home, Vaughn was sent to
whore he was working, q distance of
twenty-four miles from tho resi-
denco. Mr.. Burk sent him back to
the House for form, and upon his
return gave him q license, and
Vaughn proceeded with it home to
the brides eighteen miles further
ninety nine miles so far. Then they
went to the Rev. Mr.. Gilmour's, a
distance Of twelve miles, whore they
wore happily united, and returned
homo to hor houso-anothe twelve
miles. Total for her, twenty,.four
miles, and for him, ono hundred and
twenty three miles, in the ardent
pursuit of matrimony. Needless to
say that all this distance was
travelled on foot.

The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the
morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by an easy expcctora-

RUTH'S THANKSGIVING.
By BrxY FORBES.


Whom shall We invite to our Thanksgiving feast !,
Asked the daughter of the rich farmer Winner,
THE gifts Of this year have been many you know,
We must have a sumptuous dinner
We have relations to bid to a feast,
osly Tom, the far off dear brother,
And he's with the Indians out on the plains.
There's but Will and 1, father and mother
There is old Mr. Lee, as deaf as a post,
To smuse him would be but vexation,
But he's lonely and old and think
VIII send Willie up with kind invitation.
But forgot he's away at Sandwich. 1 kaow
he has not come home poor old fellow,
He'll SIT at some feast getting more billousness,
And take on a new layer of yellow.
There's the Grahams, but they have party at HON,
heard Luther Graham tell Father,
And the I.inns dine at home with relatives too.
declare. lack ofuncles and aunts is bother.
There's Tommy McPherson and his rosy wife,
'Twoula do me real good to invie them,
They might look upon it as queer joke you know
And perhaps 'tsould be better to slight tn EN-.
"Esery one has so much, they need none OF cure,
But do want to ask some one to morrow,
most wish there were beggars, out here in towr
wosld Danish for day their sorrowi
II they only had stomachs like empty wide bags,
All unused to high rate of living,

And So make out to enjoy one Thanksgiving .
A season of snug winter weather,
And keen sauey breeze, as 1t whired DER the farm
Bore lightly the Thanksg living feather.

Oyster stew, chicken pie, turkey roasted,
Cranberries cream pie, pumpkin pie, and rich cake
Four kinds besides cookies, Ruth boasted.

We've had health and profit and pleasure,
Good prices for cattle, good crop of corn.
Ours is pressed down, heaped up measures
I'm thankful for to'the Ruler of all.
For the boun tiful year full of blessing,
30 the Thanksgiving turkey III cut up and serve,
(How Tom used to like it with dressirg).',
They all ate with thahkfu!ness, relish and peace,
Though Ruth was still wishing some person

When 10, appeared Thomas cPhersoni
He stamped off the snow on the door mat outside,

And sat tn em all down t. so wondrous Iunck

Sd. That the application ofDayid Brodt and
others to keep and maintain q Boat Yard on

as your committee believe that the Board Of
Supervisors have no jurisdiction in the case.
4th. The application of Adam Keene to
keep and maintain ferry across the Missis-
sippi river has been granted tor the space OF
one year; the reason why your committee has
f1ed so short time for this license to run, is
because the Bond is signed without considera-
ton, and the notice to parties owning the land
is defective, and would recommend that the
Bond be returned to Mr.. Ksene for perfection,
and that the sum of three hundred (s00) dol
lars be Incorporated in said Bond, and now
ask that the following accompanying order be
adopted by the Board of Supervisors:
II is hereby ordered by the Board of Super
yisors Of the County of Grant that ferry d.
