 Resolved, That all men, young and old, before entering into a connubial contract with one or more spinsters, be compelled to adorn their bodies with suits of Ready Made Clothing, costing not less than 5000, nor more than S25O0 Heretofore the wives and daughters have been compelled to manufac- ture the cloth and make it into queer look ing garments, without regard to style, fit or finish And in these days of advanced civil ization it is blessing to know tbat one of the burdens of the gentle sex in that remote part of the country has been relieved to no small degree.
