CONNUBIALITIES.

John B. Parshall, compositor in the Del
hi, N. Y, Gazette Office recently set up the
notice of three golden weddings. He set up
the marriage notices of the same couples fifty
years ago-a remarkable coincidence.
Near Boston, Ca, there lives an extensive
family by the name of GrOover. One pecul-
iarity about them is their internarriage.
Within a radius of five miles there reside
seven separate families, and each head of the
family married u lady of the same name, and
the kinship of none run lower than the third
cousin.
John Hamilton of Greenfield, aged thirty
six, walked into the marriage license court at
Wilkesbarfe, Pa, leading little Isabella Tay
lor by the hand. She is only ten years old
and wore short dresses Hamilton wanted
marriage certificate. The consent of the
parents was given and the couple We're mar
ried this morning.
Mrs. Mary T.. Adams was about the courts
at Indianapolis the other day preparing
breach of promise suit against her brother-in-
law, Mr.. Lane. She claims that after twelve
months acquaintance they We're betrothed
and the marriage was set for last evening,
but the groom failed to report. Today sho
discovered that he had married her sister, al
though she was unaware that the sister and
he We're friends.
