THE office of the INDEPENDENT

The office of the INDEPENDENT
is blessed with two "devils.n A
few nights ago they procured big
trap, and after batting it with a live
mouse, left it in the back room and
went home to dream about all kind
of rats. The next morning we miss
ed them from work. Looking out
of the window we saw a novel sight.
On the ground was the trap, and in
it big black cat, while it was sur
rounded by Is dogs. One Of the
devils" dropped the bottom out of
the trap-the cat fell, the Is dogs
made rush and in a moment, dogs
"devils" and cat were all yelling in
one pile. The cat got away, and the
dogs got away with the seats of two
new pair of trousers-the boys swear
the dogs were cross eyed, while the
mere mention of a rat trap brings
the tears to their eyes.

MARRIAGES. The matrimonial
market has been reasonably brisk
during the year 1883, in this county.
We gather from the Clerk Of the
County Court that there have been
in all 100 licenses issued during the
year, as against 101 last year. The
ages of the contracting parties are
as follows: under 20 years males and
16 females ;over 20 and under rs years,
A males and SO females; over 25
years and under 80, 33 males and Is
females; over 80 years and under 35,
Is males and 16 females; over IS and
under 40, 3 males and females;
over 40 years and under As, 2 males
and 3 females; over As years and
under so, 2 males and female; over
40 and under go, 6 males over go
years and under 20, 8 males; over 10
years and under so, male. 1t will
be seen that from 20 to Is is the
popular ageof marrying We learn
also that the new year is starting off
with unusual activity in this line. =
