SOME one who sympathized with a GER
tain ehildless couple, let on their door
step the other night large rag baby neat
ly tucked up in shawls, &c. AT first they
thought il was genuine flesh and blood
baby, and we're much relieved to discover
that il was only counterfeit. The fun
niest part about the business was that the
couple never said word about the thing,
but lie, the too practical joker give them
selves away by telling about Il.

old, however, had to pay $72 30. The
Judge says further that the order was

came to town with John Cain and swore that

their fifteen -year-old daughter, Sarah, to
Cain. was written and signed in his pies-
ence. The license was granted and the
marriage celebrated, but on Friday Mr.,
jenkins swore out warrant against Lee,
charging him with perjury. The papers
were put in the hands Of Sheriff Carpenter
who arrested Lee, where he was working at
Mullins Stave Mill and lodged him in Jail
Lees story is that the girl gave him the
paper and told him that her father had
written il, and that as he had the greatest
confidence in her word, he swore as stated
On the other hand Il is charged that the
entire paper is in the handwriting Of Lee
and that he is not only guilty OF perjury

probable that he will have hard time
getting out Of what he calls little fun.
