Yesterday morning a gentleman from
the county came in to get a license to
marry, and found the county Office
closed. What TO do he did not know.
as his marriage was fixed for last
night, invitations were out and the
wedding feast had been prepared, and
he had no license. Not knowing that
the office would be closed he put off
getting them. The Virginian represen
tatiye was appealed to for advice Ia
place him in a position to secure the
coveted article. Captain Barnes, dcpu-
ty clerk, was visited at his residence,
but declined to issue them, saying that
It was q. holiday and that they would
not be legal. The gentleman had Ia
postpone the marriage until tonight.

charges made. His friends here say
that the attack upon him was under
