HALF MARRIED.

Now Finish the lob"

Vincennes Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
johnson township, this county, was
the scene of a funny attempt at a we'd
ding last Wednesday, which has Just
been developed this morning. Inthat
locality lives Melissa Underwood, the
fair daughter of an honest and re-
spectacle farmer. Two young men,
one p, H. Donovan, a farmer, the
other William Ayres. a miller, were
paying court to the fair Melissa. She
could not decide which one to favor,
having promised each one to marry
him, but finally being wooed more
ardently by Ayres, she consented to
take him if he could keep it secret
from Donovan. Ayres came to this
city, secured a license and the neces-
sary outfit, and on Wednesday, in
company with William Seller, a
justice of the peace of this place, pro-
ceeded to the Underwood farm. The
bridal party were on the floor, and the
squire had nearly finished the job,
when Donovan, to the surprise of
every one, rushed in and declared that
the ceremony should proceed no fur
ther. Donovan grabbed the girl by
the waist and exclaimed in piteous ac-
cents, "0h, Meliss, don't you consent,
for you promised me first" Ayres
had her around the neck, and yelled
in s%tentorian tones, go on, Squire,
we are half marriednow finish up the
job. The magistrate, under the cir
cumstances, refused to proceed, and
Ayres, although half married, is no
better off than he was before, and
! Donovan is disconsolate.

English NOIAemen and American
Girls,

The statement is made by a London
correspondent that the passion for
marrying American girls has developed
into \ regular craze with the English
nobility, like the rage for old China or
anything curious. This, of course, is
not surprising, because anybody who
knows an American girl is likely to
have a regular craze about her; it
comes natural to any grown-up man,
and there is no reason yet given why
an English nobleman should be ex-
empt. Besides, it is one of the signs
of an improvement in the times to
have the balance of trade turning in
our favor. For years and years now
American girls have had a regular
craze for marrying English %noblemen,
and it must certainly be gratifying to
know that complete reciprocity has
been established at last, We don't
like to sacrifice our girls to this I'M
substantial thing, for there is not much
to be relied upon in a marrying way in
what Hon. Bardwell Slote calls the
i. n. 0f g,-hoasted nobility Of Urpp,
