custom heretofore to cut and cure

two wholesale profits, the retailers

A clergyman OF this city, having
been previously engaged to celebrate
the bands Of matrimony on Christ
mas day, some distance in the coun
try, early in the morning donned hi
clerical robes, secured : noble horse
one able to struggle with the unfath

was seen making his way slowly blu,
steadily toward the classic hills Of
Soap Creek. After many difficulties
and perils he reached the place Of
destination. All things passed of
with the usual felicity of such occA.
sions. The twain were duly made
one. The dinner, which was elegant
and abundant, was duly served. At
ter the usual congratulations the cler.
ical gentleman gave his parting bless.

his horse, and for 120 minutes retrac.
ed his steps back to the city, where
he arrived safely, well covered with
the fertile soil Of the country over
which he travelled. He usually do.
mated the fee to his wife who wal
expecting . valuable Christmas pres.

seated by the fire, warming his chill.
ed humanity and drying his soiled
and wet garments she demanded the
fee, which the young and thoughtlesl
groom had left in the clothes that
were not present and up to date have
not been found. Hereafter the Rev

he feels disposed to withhold the

A VERY OPPRESSIVE ORDER.-The
latest number of the Internal Reve-
nue. Record contains q decision OF
Commissioner Raum, which, if acted
upon, will impose agreat hardship on
nearly oil of the small manufacturers
Of cigars inthis city. 1t is held by the
Commissioned hat the law ON the SUBJ
ject can only be construed to forbid
the sale of cigars at retail or In guam
tites Of less than one unbroken box Of
Is, SO, loo, $50, or 500, in the same bull
ding in which they are manufactured.
It can no longer be permitted that
one-half Of room or building be used
as mandatory, and the other half
% store. The two branches of the
business must be kept separate, not
only nominally, but by solid walls.
This decision affects, probably, about
three-fourths of the cigar manufacture
ers, the majority of whom do . retail
business Of greater or less magnitude.
1t will take from them one source of
livelihood. Those aware of the new
departure express their intention of
appealing to Congress for q modifi-
cation of the law, and they expect all
who are similarly situated, here and
elsewhere, to join hands with them in
the matter. It is understood that the
collectors will not attempt to enforce
this new version Of the order, unless
directed to do so by the Commission
er, until the 1st of May. This will
give the small manufacturers time to
make themselves heard at Washing
ton.-State Register.

Arrested for Deduction.

On the 10Th inst q warrant was
placed In the hands Of Constable w.
w. Williams Of this city for the ar
rest of Jos. Weiland (who resides
about five miles north Of Woodburn,
this county on the charge ofseducing
9 girl l6years old, daughter Of David
Barnes, farmer living in the NORTH
eastern part of the county. The officer
served the warrant and brought the
defendant before j. r. Benn, ESQ, of
jackson township. Weiland waived
examination and was held to answer
at the next term of the District Court
In the sum of one thousand dollars.
Constable Williams informs us that
young Weiland expresses himself a.
not only willing but anxious to marry
the girl for whom he processes warm
affection, but Mr.. Barnes will not per-
init him to do 90. A few weeks ago
the girl left her home and went to OF
tumwa, sent there, It IL said by Wei.
land for wicked and criminal pur-
pose, that evidence of his crime might
be removed. This charge he indig-
nsntly denies and says it was his pur-
pose to follow and marry her, because
her father would not allow their mar
rage ut home. Parties acquainted
with the defendant, say they have faith
to believe he will, If allowed to do 20,
fulfill his promises made to the girl.
If they are correct in their estimate
Of the man, and if his professions and
protestations are true and from the
heart, the enormity Of this great
wrong is lessened. If on the contra
~ his promises are false, and he has
no sympathy for that innocent and
deceived girl, and contemplates her
abandonment and further ruin, he 10
. wicked monster, and deserves the
severest penalty of the law.
LATER.-Since the above was writ
ten, Mr.. Weiland gave the bond re-
quired, then procured q marriage IL
cense, and he and Miss Barnes were
married on Tuesday. This last act
shows that Weiland is much better
man than he has been represented
and seems to corroborate his story
previously told, that he al along in
tended to fulfill his promises made to
the girl.-OsceolG Sentinel.
