Matrimony Decreasing.

BOYDTON, VA. January 6.-(Special.) y
In recent interview with Mr. w. A.
Jameson Mecklenburgs popular County
Court Clerk. your correspondent learned
that although the population of the coun-
ty is increasing, isatrimony is decreasing.
During the month of December, 1895. there
were issued by the Clerk of the County
Court sixty-one marriage-licenses- forty
two colored and nineteen white. For the
month of December, 1886, there were only
forty-one issued-thirty-fOur cOlored. and
seven white. The records also show that
upon an average one third OF all the
marriage-licenses issued during the year
are taken in the month of December.

NEW YORK, January 6-The cold
weather to-day resulted in an increased
attendance OF buyers in the dry-goods
market Business, although somewhat
better than yesterday, was still decidedly
dull. The southern demand is probably
the best at the moment, as nearby
markets are buying lightly. while busl-
ness with the West and Northwest Is IN
terfered with TO some extent by the
financial troubles there.

A Moundsvlle CIV. Va special says:
The most persistent and long-continued
scourge of diphtheria ever known is re-
ported from the little town of Calls, on

since. In the time intervening there
have been over one hundred and fifty ca IS
and thirty deaths. Some persons have
had the disease twice. and whole families
have been wiped out by it.
