recalcitrant evader OF the law. Judge

that important document arrived the in
cSrcerated individual shelled out the

Chicago Inter Ocean.
The great banquet 20 be given in 1880
IN Chicago first alluded to in this paper
some weeks age, bids fair TO become Il
fact and a success. The gentleman who
is TO Gator for 1t and superiEtend the at
iair, told reporter yesterday that prom
inent Masons of the East are taking an
active interest in the matter, and some
estimates have been made as TO cost, mo-
dus opersndi, etc, TO insure the success Of
the undertaking. The dimensions OF the
Exposition Building have been taken
with view 10 It's adoption to the pur-
pose, and 1t Is found that the 10000 Sir
Knights VINO will meet here in Conclave
at that time, can be comfortably seated,
by proper arrangement OF tables IN the
main hall. This would leave the wings
and the rear apartment tor the ranges
aud other Appliances for cooking. Tue
walters are to be divided into companies,
each under a captain, with each company
subdivided into groups o. ten and delalI-
ed to table, which will seat 100 persons.
By this arrangement walters will serve
10000 baHQueLers with the same prompt
ness and efficiency that small party Is
served in AN ordlHsry Of any well-ar-
ranged hotel. The estimated cost is to
100000, and it is estimated that Tor this
sum the table can Be spread in frst.class
STYLE, with al the favorlte sessonable
dishes. This is II be on the occasion OF
the grsndest reunion of knights Tcmplar
ever held, and it is also intended to make
tae occasion memorable by the greatest
banquet ever given in the world.

AQueer Marriage Story.

The Allentown PENN Register
tells IL thus: "a rather romantic &C.
curreuce took place recently in the
Pottston Post-olficc. A prominent
clergyman of the borough by acct
dent left his book, containing the
formulas of the different ordinances
of the Church, lying in the Post-of-
flee, where he had gone with it in his
hand. Discovering his loss, he hur-
ried back, and found it in the hands
of young lady and gentleman, who
were reading over the ceremony Of
marriage. He jokingly offered to
read it to them, provided they would
give the proper answers. They con-
scented, thinking the whole very fun
ny. The minister read and the cou.
pie replied, to the great delight Of
one spectator. After the roverned
gentleman had ceased, he announced
to the astonished pair that they were
legally married. They, however did
not consider tho tie binding, and to-
tally ignored it."

go, and by and by he gets up to de.
part.

"don't think of going before tea"
The deacon, so strongly urged, re-
piled;
"Well, think | will stay, as the
folks will not expect me home before
dark"
"What did he say, Lydia2" asked
the widow.
Lydia had n ready answer;
"llc says he will not to-day, moth
or, as the folks will expccthim home
before dark, Why, how deaf you
arc, mother"
ooh, well, some other day, deacon,
