A APosiffYe DenfaI.

Last evening after the adjournment of the Board of Selectmen Dr. Doherty came into the town agents room and asked Clerk Geary if anyone had come before the Board and stated that he had charged them one dollar for marriage license recently. He was informed that there was not, but that an affidavit had been read to that effect. The doctor was shown the legal document and very promptly denied the truth of the ale cations therein contained. He said the man was certainly mistaken, as neither himself or his wife had charged more than fifty cents since he was told not to do so by the Selectmen. The registrar seemed somewhat excited when confronted with the affidavit
