Ithattane nv Sitsecas.--Onite 'an interesting.
marriage took place at Syracuse err the evening of
the 12th inst.' It appears that. two Shakers, a male
and !male, belonging to a section between Schen
ectady and Troy, became enamored of each other,
and determined to escape limn a place where
they were denied the privilege of entering into wed
lock. They accoolitigly came here with flying
speed, and soon had all the necessary
ries arranged for a marriage. The great broad
brimed hat and Shaker dress were taken from the
man, and a fashionable sun of black given him in
exchange, and the female arrayed in a neat fitting
dress of the latest arid most approved ['art-a$ style.
Thus ligeed, they presented themselves before the
aftar, and were made flesh. A' happier
couple, those in attendance state, they never Saw.
The gentleman's name was LJ. lVicks, and the
lady's. Rosetta Hays, and their ages tespectively,
38. and 17. Rosetta is pronounced as a lady of un.
common beauty of person, as well as great cult
ivation n 1 mind. Alter their marriage, the bride
groom related his experience as a shaker, and
the 'peculiar rites he was. bound to obey. As._ a
part of his experience, he stated that he hail never
kissed a girl in his lite, until ho kissed Rosetta,
about forty-eight hour.; before their marridge. They
started 'yesterday for Louisville, Ky., there they
expect to spend the honeymoon. .
