 Married in Dover, by Rev. J. O. Peebles, on last Thursday evening, one Mir. Miller to Miss Thomas, both recently from Alabama. The bride and groom are, respectively, about 4 and l7 years of age. Sup pose they have deferred the happy alliance until this late period of life because of pecuniary embarrassment or some other hindering cause. Hope the groom's dad, whs they say has been nicely outwitted in this little affair, will have the prudence to re- member what has been said about ''spilt milk" and neither grisve nor become incorrigibly angry about the inevitable. May the young couple s future disappoint him agreeably, if at all.

 Organized at the college, on last Friday evening, q young Ladies Literary society. We are glad to note this manifestation of our girls increasing interest in the cause of culture and refinement. Judging from the character of the ladies that have been chosen to supervise It's proceedings, we venture tn predict much success and happy culmina- ton for this worthy movement. Nothing can exert happier inhu- ence in the cause of education and social advancement, than iudiciously co2ductcd literary societies. They serve to imbue young minds with q love of good and useful literature, and, at the same time, they awake a friendly spirit of rivalry, which can not fail to give an impetus to thought, and thoroughness Tn wide fields os useful research. We hope that teach CTS ana parents will give all possible announcement to this laudablc move ment, and endcavor to keep warm the interest which is now awakened. Success to you, girls; you have Tn augurated movement which is to culminate in more enlightened or. der of society for our town.
