In Liberty county, Ga, on the night
of the 18th ult., one Sam Gauldin went
to the house of Simon Osgood, who lives
in Liberty county, TO inquire about
a debt which Gauldin owed Osgood, and
which Osgood had given to constable to
collect. There was a dispute, and Simon
Osgood, who is an old man, with three of
his sons and a grown daughter, seized
Gauldin and beat him terribly with
sticks, fence-rails and q hoe. He died
the next day. Two of the sons, Henry
and Raymond, are grown men; the 9TH
er, James, Is youth of thirteen years.
The girl, Ellen, is about nineteen. Hen
~ escaped, but all the others were arres-
ted. and on Wednesday and Thursday
were tried. The old man, Simon, was
found guilty Of voluntary manslaughter,
and sentenced to twenty years in the pen
itentiarY; Raymond and Ellen were con-
victed of murder, and sentenced to be
hanged on Thursday, the 18th of Decem-
Der; and James, convicted of involuntary
manslaughter, was sentenced to one year

Gre,na Green Marriages.

As long ago as 1906, writer in the
London Mirror wrote concerning Gretna
Green marriages: 1.-The Gretna Green
forms are equally unnecessary and ride
ulous. x x The ceremony by the
blacksmith (who performed the marriage
service) is an impertinent piece of
mummery, even to degree criminal, as
it is Il mockery of the ecclesiastical forms
of the country, which can neither make
the marriage one whit the less irregular,
nor can the want of it render the en-
gagement less valid or legal. Yet [ was
assured on the spot that this scandalous
lmpostor has in some years drawn above
l, 200 guineas. X Of late, how
ever, two interlopers, one of them
disbanded soldier, the other a mason,
threaten to deprive him of half his
trade" Yet these marriages continued
for forty years later. The last notable
one was that OF Lady Ada Villiers,
daughter of the earl of Jersey, with
Capt. 1bbetson, cavalry officer. Lady
y LEILA, by the connivance of a maid,
elopeu i-om Brighton, where Lord and
Lady Jersey were then staying 1t was
nine days wonder All that was really
necessary to make runaway match from
England valid in Scotland was for the
parties to call upon the landlady and
chambermaid to witness that they de-
clared themselves MAI and wife, and oc-
cupied the same bedchamber.

with ivory spoon instead of feather
black velvet vest and belt, with steel
buttons; black knee-breeches, black
silk hose. black kid shoes, with black
bows and steel buckles; black cloth
cloak and white gloves. The cutters
were strung with ribbons of the national
coliors of Spsin--red and yellow. Fifty
Of the troop were musicians, their in
struments being the guitar, the violin,
the bandurria. the flute, and the
pandero. One afternoon they gave
performance on the terrace in front OF
the operahouse. aud one of their mum
Der executed a national dance. which
was at once graceful and curious.
Victor Hugo made the shortest address
of his life in greeting them in the sim
pie words, Sons of Spain. am your
