It scents that a banking officer in that town met at a, Lull a young lady from this neighborhood,, who was very good look ing:, sprightlY, and attractiye. 'While Is'altz ing with her, he proposed in Jest that they should he married. The lady accepted his proposition, and they °adjourned to a side room, where a. person present was called upon to perform the ceremony, which be did, tO the infinite amusement of, all concerned. The gentleman thought no more of the matter un til the breaking up of the ball, when the fair partner called upon him to conduct her to his resi - hence. — lie demurred and thought she had better go to her own residence. She said that the home of her husband was her honie, "whither thou guest, I will f o llow then." He didn% hardly understand that she was his wife. She insisted upon her marital rights. and claimed that as the ceremony had been performed by a Justice of th 2. Peace, it was 0 perfeetly fair and legal transaction. The gen tleman ingaireil.into matters ; found that her position's were correct. and that he was in a bad hos. He is now endeavoring to ignore his wife and back out of the bargain, with little prospect of success, however. The lady has before been married, and was, it is under st eel, divorced from her former husband, but nailer such circumstances as admitted of her 'marrying again.—Lanca.ytcr Examiner.

As the political commotion in the United States is over. and everything is quiet, I thought I would send fall a specimen of a po litical commotion which sometimes happens nt particular places.
