The Daughter Married and the old Man
 Despondent.

There was considerable excitement in Holbrook on Sunday last, over the marriage of ooe of St. Johns fair daughters to Lothario of the same place. The young couple had made up their minds to become man and wife, but the father of the girl object ed, and being well-to-do and prom inent citizen, corralled all legal re- sources in St. Johns that had the pow er to perform the marriare ceremony, sod supposed he had the young couple well bitted and bridled. But such was not the case, for in the still hours of the night, the young lady emerged from her fathers abode while the old gentleman and Morpheus were dwell ing in unity and joining her lover, both started for Holbrook. The fath- CT awoke to find his daughter gone, aud immediately he saddled his horse and set out to overtake them. Max ing such fast time, his horse gave out when within about three miles of Hol- brook, and the couple ahead of him were in sight of Hobrook. He could make no time, so he gave Mexican $ omake haste into town and inlorm the Justice of the Peace of his objec- ton to the marriage. When near the town some friends of the couple met the Mexican, and knowing his crrand, gave him S 10 hold their horses while they absented themselves for short time. The temptation was too strong for the Mexican, and he assented while the party came into town and accom- panied the young man and his afhanc- ed to the Justices office, and they were soon made man and wife. They re, turned and relieved the Mexican. when he went and did the errand with which he was charged, but too late. The old man came in after time, and learning the circumstances, the last seen of him he was looking after the Mexican and his money. It is to be hoped the father will take kindly to the situation, but as both the son and daughter are satisfied, it don't matter much how the old man takes 1t.
