Mr. Daniel AlcKn1gIt one ofr0nr
eldest, wealtiiest and most respeeled
citizens was married on Thursday tho
18th inst. 10 Miss Clarissa Ilulscy a
girl Of nineteen. Uncle Dan, as he is
iamiliarly called, had well nigh lived
out his three score and ten years in
single bliss aud his marriage was a
source Of much surprise. Their, or
rather her cuurtship, was Of The most
romantic nature that has ever come
under my 0bseryniivn. Her iather
was n very poor man and had rec
emily taken aposition a OH Mr.. Nc
Knights farm, either as q cropper or
an employee on the farm ;,he girl vol
untcered her service to do his milk

Knight aud his hired boys generally
did the r own cooking, but when
they were al workinra remote field
she would 90 aud prepare their meals
for them and place every thing OIL
tile table III good style. One day last
week he asked her to help him plant
some broom corn. While they were
planting the broom corn he addressed
her IN the same old familiar style that
other members of her family adj.
dressed her SSis, you have been
doing my cuokjng and washing for
somp time, how would ii suit you to
continue TO do it2' She said il
would suit her very well. Uncle Dan
considered il match aud procured
license aud tile story has been told.
