Marriages.

Winter is fast coming on, and the
young people are drifting into matri-
mony at rate that makes ministers
and furniture men look contented,
and raise house rents at an alarming
rate. The summer walks and fIirta-
tions are things Of the past, and so they
qnietly settle down into staid young
housekeepers This is the way it
has been since the days Of Adam,
and this is the way it will contiue IN
til the last man comes to naught in
one Of the many ways which science
has been kind enough to discover.

The fires in the forests Of lower
Maryland are becoming trife too
frequent for landowners, and com.
mittees are being appointed, and
armed squads Of men are on the look
out for certain classes Of people who,
sometimes through careIessness in
hunting, and sometimes through sheer
devilment, apply the torch to . dry
old stump, or q pile Of parched an.
tumn leaves, and send destruction
through acres Of valuable timber.
The burning of barns and dwellings,
for the last few months has been IN
precedented in the history Of the
State, and-while in . majority Of cases
suspicion points to incendiaries, and
arrests have been made, proof was
wanting, and the fire-bugs went scot
free. Alarmed for the safety Of their
persons and property, and to protect
themselves against this class, the citi-
zens where these outrages have so re-
peatedIy been committed have enrolled
themselves into night watches. and

The lack Of guideboards on country
roads is a great source Of annoyance to
everybody not familiar with their
routes'of travel. It is a simple thing
to make turn at d corner when we
know which road to take, but not SO
simple to go many miles or more and
find we are on the wrong road. All
roads are liable to be travelled by stran-
gers, and every place where two roads
meet should be furnished with q guide
board. Strangers travelling on the
sprairies Of the Northwest, even in sec
tons long settled, especially where there
are no fences, suffer q good deal from
the lack OF guides. Every town and
county should remedy this grievance,
and BY doing 50 will benefit themselves
as we'll IS the public. Guideboards are.
necessary in summer, and il winter when
landmarks are obscured, are imper-
atiyely required Let every body help
TO guide the traveller on his way.

individuals who have passed the age OF
80 years, 60,3O3 are women and only
81, 528 are men. In Italy there are al
alleged centenarian women, and but l4l

Failure Of Commodore Garrison.

i. Commodore Cornelius X. Garrison on Fri
day last filed an assignment in the county
clerks Office at New York to John T, Terry, OF
E. D. Morgan & Co.; preferences, $G3l 800
Garrison well known as formerly deeply IN
terested in the Pacific Mail, New Orleans and
West India steamship lines. He is also
known to be the largest stakeholder in profit
able gas companies Of New York and
st. Louis and New Orleans. He was the prln-
cipal owner of Missouri Pacific, but sold out a
few years ago to Jay Gould. He has been in
terested lately in numerous railway schemes.
He was formerly a resident of St Louis, and
made the bulk Of his fortune prior to the re-
bellion. ,,#
The amount involved by the failure Is sup
posed to be IS. 0U0, 600. The preferences
amount to 1851, 600. Assignee Terry said it
was impossible yet to state the figures. The
effect on Wall street was to still more unsettle
things, though to notso great an extent as feared
Melville G. Day. counsel for Garrison, says
( The assignment is made because of financial
embarrassment 1t was forced upon Garrison
BY the protest Of notes under his endorsement
He is heavy holder of securities, and 80 much
OF his wealth was tied up in these, which are
almost unnlarketable at present, that he could
not meet his liabilities. He has a large number
Of Ohio railroad securities which have shrunk,
4 but which are not now on the market, the
value Of which cannnt be estimated. The
assignment is simply for the benefit OF cred-
