 Couple Twice Married.
 On Thursday evening last Canaan minister was called upon to unite a couple in marriage, just across the Housatonic river in the town of Sails bury. The minister took his seat at a table and prepared to. fill out the mar riage certificate when he glanced at the marriage license and found that it had been obtained in the town of North Ca naan and therefore the ceremony. to be legal, should have been performed in that town, whereas it had been per formed in the town of Salisbury. For moment the minister was in a quandary inasmuch as he had unin- tentionally violated the law by perform ing the ceremony in the wrong town. It occurred to him that the middle of the Housatonic river constitutes the dividing line between the towns of North Ca naan and Salisbury and as this river flows not more than fifty feet from the door of the house where the ceremony was performed the clergyman suggested that they row to the North Canaan side and again go through the formality of the wedding ceremony. Therefore, the party crossed to the North Canaan side and in the moonlight the ceremony was again performed, and the party returned to the house where the certificate was issued as originally intended.
