Seminary Trustees.

The adjourned meeting OF the Trustees
of the St. Mary's Female Seminary was
held at Moore's Hotel, Leonardtown Tues
day May 18th instant Thirteen members
were present. The meeting was called to
order by Hon. B. G. Harris, President Of
the Board, who stated that the election of a
principal was in order. The point was
raised that under the rules the 1st Monday
of May having passed without an election
it was now too late to choose a principal
for the ensuing year. A ballot was how
ever, taken but only six votes were cass
one less than a majority. The meeting
was quite lengthy and it was late in the
afternoon before the Trustees left town.

After License 20 Marry.

A Miss Mitchell, fourteen years old and
still wearing short dresses, appeared We'd
nesday, in company with man about
twenty four years old. before the clerk of
the Circuit Court of Calvert county, Mr..
Thomas b. Turner, and asked for license
to be married. Mr.. Turner questioned her.
and finding by her own statement that she
was not of legal age, refused to issue the
license. The girl says she ran away with
the man from Northumberland county, Va,
where she resides. They crossed oyer in
sailboat TO Maryland, thinking .hey could
get license here. While she was negotiat-
ing with the clerk Of the court the man
stood in the background. When she failed,
the pair re-embarked, the young miss, who
seemed 10 be captain, saying they would
sail up the Potomac to the District of
Columbia, where she hoped to have better
luck.-SuH.
On the 9th instant, Miss Ritchie and
Mr.. Bowen, of Northumberland county,
Virginia, drove from the Patuxent to Leon
ardtown and secured license to marry,
the groom making oath that the lady was
over 10 wears of age, and the girl testifying
to the same effect. Rev. z. ValSpinoza
married the couple. II Is thought by many
that the couple mentioned in the above
correspondence of the SaR might beidenti-
cal with the parties married here last Wed
nesday, but it will be noted that the name
of the lady is different We have been in
formed by Mr.. Fred A. Norris that the
couple married here spent sometime on the
