MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Record for the yVcek-Some Valuable
Observations.
There was slight falling off last week
from the week previous in the number Of
marriage-1icenses issued at the County
Clerks ofice;-the number being 140 as
against III From Monday up to and includ-
ing Wednesday ninety-eight licenses were
granted, and presumably that number of
couples commenced the new year in the new
relation Of husband and wife. Two girls
were only 1G years of age, and four II. One
of the 1G-year-olds had for an intended hus-
band a boy aged 19, so that their united ages
were IS. The Oldest licensed couple had
reached a century,-the man 60 and the
woman 40. Thirteen widows, and there's no
telling from the books how many widowers,
took unto themselves mates for the second,
or perhaps some Of them the third, time.
In looking dFer the Clerks books for the
year, it was noticed that q large number Of
the certificates from the persons performing
the marriage ceremony are not returned to
the Clerk, as required by law. The law re-
quires return Of the license and certificate
within thirty days, yet there are over 100
which were issued before the 1st Of July
which have not yet been sent in. The statute
places the fine Tor each otfense at S1o0, and
makes it the duty Of the States Attorney to
prosecute. under the law. In great many
cases perhaps no marriage took place, owing
to disagreemcnts or death, or other causes;
but the ministers and Justices are exceed
ingly lax in complying with the law in this
respect. In four eases there is a record that
no marriage took place between the par
ties, in TWO the certificates were returned as
"not used" and one had the words "Bursted
up'' written on it. The marriage-license
clerk was formerly in the habit of asking the
street and number of those residing in the
city who took out licenses, but within q. few
weeks has simply asked them if they lived
in the city. This, Of course, has saved him
some extra labor, but it has also detracted
from the interest attaching to the published
record, for, If John Smith marries Mary
Jones, the reader would like to locate the
particular Smith man and the particular
Jones girl in some particular number in
some particular street, because he or she
knows so many Of that name in whole city,
full of Smiths and Joneses. True, a number
of applicants do not wish to have their names
published at all, but, as it is neither a sin nor
a shame to be married, the few ought not to
1lumored. Il is to be hoped Clerk Lundburg
will return to the old style and ask the par
ties where they reside, and enter it accord
ingly. Last weeks record is as follows:
