HAPPTNEss.-As a general
rule it is a bad plan for a well
regulated newspaper to make
corrections or explanations, but
when an unintentional wrong is
done it is nothing more than
justice to correct it. In a we'd
ding notice in the BAENER on
Friday morning the following
language was rsed: "***
wishes them all the happiness
usually allotted to the human
family" These apparently in
nocent words intended, Of
course only for the couple al
luded to, fairly put our usually
mild hammered, handsome and
good-natured county clerk, Mr..
Hugh Lewis-if he was IN good
humor we'd call him major or
colonel-Squarely on his head ;
he was red hot and tearing his
hair ; if he is not bald this morn
ing it will be a wonder. He
says it was unfair and unjust to
wish the couple all the hap
piness." He does not begrudge
them any reasonable amount Of
happiness, but all the happiness
is more than he can stand;
he says he has more marriage
licenses on hand and for sale at
the regulation price and that it
is not only his wish, but most
sincere desire that a fair quote
of happiness go with each and
every marriage license a.
goes out ofhis office with the
seal of the court attached.
That's what made Mr.. Lewis
tear his hair.

PUNcTILIoUs.- Wednesday
afternoon Mrs. Smith, a lady
residing on west Sandy street.
returned home from call to
find her house invaded by a
tramp, who had effected an en-
trance through window. She
asked him what he wanted and
told him to leave; this he per-
emptorily refused to do and
kept his seat. Mrs. S. lett him
and went to Mr.. F. Weibusch
for assistance. Mr.. w. &C
companied her home and told
the tramp he had better leave.
The tramp replied, "Well if you
say so I'll go. but 1 don't like
the way the lady talked (; she
was entirely too impertinent ;
you have addressed ME as
gentleman" The punctilious
tramp is described as having
worn a very large and ferocious
black mustache.
