 From certain communications that have appeared in The Press in the last two weeks it appears that 8 deserved retribution has fallen upon the clergymen of Stafford Springs. Evidently the "iron has entered into their souls" ''the galled iades wince;" in other words, they now know how it is themselves. They did what they could to get the town clerks office away from Stafford, thereby depriv- ing the clergymen of that locality of mar riage fees from strangers on marital thoughts intent, and deprive their wives of much pin money. And now 1t seems that those clergymen at the Springs get no advantage of the change they helped to make. More than that when they mildly complain of the ring for the ex- plotting of marriage fees they get nothing but contempt and dead loads of legal lore poured upon their unprotected heads. It is needless to say that they need not come to the Hollow for sympathy.
