TYROLESE MARRIAGES.
Marriage Customs In the Villages

The marriage customs in the different
villages Of the Tyrol are interesting.
The etiquette in such matters is not a
little droll. For instance, while it is by
no means permitted to an Invite" to
give a refusal, 1t by no means follows
that the person who has apparently &C
espted with elfusion ct oil intends to
present himself on the occasion, aud it
is the duty Of the Hochzeitlader to dis.
tinguish between the genuine aud the
pretended acceptance, and Wo to him if
he causes the unlueky bridegroom to

can.

tween Birch Creek and Jefferson, and the
people have gone wild over it. When
the stage gets to the former place the
driver applies his mouth to the instru-
mert and yells to Jefferson: Look out;
! N comm like house afrs. Me and
the stage" And then all the people in
Jefferson sit down on the sidewalk in
front of the express Office and wait for
the stage, which arrives in the course of
eight or ten hours.
