Sorted Them Out.

A clergyman who has just returned
cago Record-HeraId. tells a story he
heard there of the marriages made
on certain feast days. when no fee is
charged and the young couples come
in great numbers a long distance TO
take advantage of the custom.
The custom is not general but local,
being confined to certain rural places
in the vicinity Of Manchester and Old
ham. Upon one of those OCCASIONS
tells the clergyman with q chuckle. "a
delegation of fifty young people from
Oldham and the surrounding country
journeyed to Manchester, making a
picturesque grouping at the Die Eng
Iish church of st. Marks. Each one
Of the men carried a long staff or stick,
as the people used to call a cane. and
each OF h young women ~brandished
an umbrella, the use of which Will be
presently seen.
After the ceremony Of marrying the
lot was concluded, and the crowd was
going down the church aisIes, one
young woman hurried back and inter
cepted the rector as he was going 70
the vestry.
