Sentenced to Matrimony.

A young man and young woman
were contesting possession of piece OF
property, the one claiming under IN old
lease, the other under an old will.
1T strikes me-" said the justice, "that
there is a pleasant and easy way to ter
inmate this lawsuit. The plaintiff seems
to be a respectable young man, and this
is very nice young woman. They can
both get married and live upon the
farm. If they go on with the law pro-
ceedings, the property will all be frit-
tered away among the lawyers, who, l
am sure, are not ungallant enough to
wish the marriage not to come Off"
The lady blushed, and the young man
stammered that they "liked each other a
little Bit" so verdict was rendered for
the plaintiff on the condition of his prom
ise to marry the defendant within two
months, stay of execution being put to
the verdict till the marriage ceremony
should be completed.
This is about the first couple ever SEN
fenced to matrimony in court of law.

Commissioner Lummis said he pre-
ferred lady superintendent. While there
was no doubt that woman superintend-
ent was correct, still he thought the term
was not generally applied in institutions
of as much dignity as the normal col
lege. He made an amendment that lady
be inserted instead of woman.

was better form than lady. Mr.. Lum-
