An amusing wedding took place in Jus
tice William F. Ruschs Office last Wednes-
day night. The circumstances which led
to the wedding are quite romantic, and moi
without touch of real life. The contract
ing parties belong to two of the best fami-
lies Of Pelletville, Sussex County, N. =.
The groom is LIE Grand w. Pellet, SON OF
L. g. w. Pellet. the head man of Pellet
vile, and very wealthy, according to report.
About a year ago the young gentleman
who is only twenty-one years of age-be-
came acquainted with Miss Mary Banker,
young school-ma'am of about twenty,
who taught school in the pleasant little
hamlet of Branchyille, three or four miles
distant from his home He paid her a
number of visits, and it is said that they
became more affectionate and tender than
even engaged people ought to be. Some
months since LIE Grand, Junior, came to
the conclusion that he could not get along
on the money which his generous parent
supplied him with, and he left the paternal
roof in disgust and went to Hoboken,
where he expected to make his fortune in q
short time. His hopes of amassing large
amount of money came down peg or two,
and he accepted position in the rubber
factory at that place at the prineely COM
pensation of six dollars per week.
If his hopes of making money
vanished, his ardent love for the
pretty school teacher did not. he sent
her numerous letters, protesting his undy-
ing love, and coolly informing ner that he
was earning twenty dollars per week, and
urging her to resign her position and join
him in Hoboken. At last her condition
became SO critical that she concluded to 90
to Hoboken, where she met her lover
nearly three weeks ago. Somehow or
other no marriage ceremony was per-
formed, or they had lost the certificate at
all events, the lady was not satisfied, and
she wished to have ceremony performed.
In the meantime the young man became
tired Of the pretty country teacher, and
apparently longed for the society of the
more polished city girls. The deserted
lady hunted after her recreant knight for
several days, until at last she overloaded
him late last Thursday night. She de-
manded that he should forthwith go with
her to q minister or to a justice of the
peace and have marriage ceremony per-
formed. In the midst of the alteration
they were met by Mr.. Samuel Shoyge,
fellow employed in the rubber works, who
volunteered to accompany them to Justice
Rusche's Office to see them spl;ced. The
young man did not wish to marry the girl,
and made resistance but it was OF no
use, as the lady was tall and muscular and
he the reverse. She took him gently by
the collar, and did not let go until she had
escorted him into the jovial Justices Office.
ssYou might as well go through with it.
now" she said to him, ssas am the strong
est" Then turning to the smiling Judge
she requested him to unite them in mar
riage. He demurred, but in vain. He
stated that they had been married in New
ark week before, but he could not re-
member whether by a minister or ma
gistrate. The lady had no recollection
whatever on the subject; and she insisted
that the ceremony be perf@S@ed again.
When she stepped forward <fore the
Judge he stood quiet and thoughts Of escape
whirled rapidly through his head; but
they were suddenly cut short by the lady
who stepped back and grasped the refrac-
tory youth by the collar as if be were
child and planted him in front of the Judge
who proceeded to perform the ceremony.
The ceremony was performed in The pre-
sence of Henry Cordts, the furniture
dealer, and Samuel Shayze. After the GER
emony was completed, the genial Judge
took the first kiss from the bride, and
the strong-minded bride and detected
Dom left for home. As the couple have,
to all appearance, left town, it is supposed
that the lady has taken the young sprig of
nobility to receive the blessing of his
parents.
