Tbe marriage of Father Hyaeiothe with
the Buckeye widow was a very simple affair.
Tbe ceremony look place in Paris at Ibe
office of tbe Register, end was a civil cere
mony entirely. It Is probable ;tbal a legal
religious ceremony could not be had in
Franca. There were only three or Ibur wit
nesses. Tbe bride baa a ion about twenty
years old, but she li describe,! as being a
very buxom, enticing widow. The bride
wore a light purple silk, which salon to
good advantage her well; rounded figure
and tbe groom was attired In an evening
drese. Tbe affair was essentially matter o
fact, aod we imagine will not produce any
great excitement even in religious circles,
si the general Impression teems to be that
Hyaeiothe, not regarding the advice of tbe
elder Welter to "beware ol widders," was
caught just at other men hareiwen caught
ever slues Eye beguiled poor Adam.
We are pleased 10 notioe the return to
town of our friend, Mr. A. Leggett He

CITIZEN'S MEETING.
Pursuant to call of the President an ad
journed meeting of citizens was beld at tbe
Grant ft Wilson Club Rooms, last evening.
The mlntites.of tbe last meetiog weretead
aod approved. ,
Tbe committee appointed at tbe last
meeting to draft resolutions, reported as
follows:
Pet. Cintrc, Sept. 23, 1872.
To the Officers and Board of Director! of
tbe Central Pet. Co, of N. T:
Gentlemen We, tbe undersigned, lease
holders end eitixens of Petroleum Centre,
having in view the prosperity and continue
tion ot id is piece as a busloess centre, re
spectfully atk your co-operation In the re
duction ol our ground rents. As we depend
to a great extent upon the surrounding
country lor custom and as oil development!
have ceased to a great extent and in some
surrounding districts bave ceased altogelh
er, and consequently a good many peopli
wbo foimerly traded here have removed to
the lower oil regions, we find It Impossible
now to pay tbe same rents we bave been
paying In former aod more prosperous timer
Not wishing to dictate lo you tbe amount of
reduction we would nevertheless respectfully
ask that you reduce the rent of Business
Houses Irom f 100 per annum lor 20 leet
front, tbe present price, to $30, and for
dwelling houses, from $50, to $25, and olb
er leases la the tame proportion, which
amount! we think would be a just compen
sation for tbe ground and which our bueli
nets will justify m la paying. We hope
Ibis will meet your favorable coniideration
at your earliest convenience.
Tbe report of eommitee wai adopted and
committee discharged.
Remarks were made In regard to a former
petition which bad been sigoed by tbe bust
nesi men of tbe place, aod it was moved
and carried Ibat laid petition be destroyed
and that none but those owning properly
end paying rente tbe allowed lo sign the
petition.
Moved and oarried that tbe President be
instructed to appoint a committee ol three
whose duty It shall be to procure signers to
said petition, and alto to prevent ibe same
to Capt J. E. Ray, Superintendent of tbe
Central Petroleum Cjmpaoy, for transmit
tal to said company.
The President appointed as such commit
lee Messrs. O. F. Scbonbiom, G. Gordon
and Owen Gaffney.
On moiloo adjourned.
Tbe law exhibits strange freaks at times
perhaps ralber Ibe Iresks of those wbo ad
minister tbe law. A singular legal decis
ion was made soma lime siooe In New York.
Sixteen years ago an elderly lady in passing
torougn e BIlby street of that city delected
an intoxicated mother In tbe aot of throwing
her lofaut Into an ash barrel. Tbe old lady
Interfered and succeeded In rescuing tbe
child, and taking II borne adopted It. Tbe
lady died a few yean since aod gave the
child to a married daughter. About tbat
lime Ibe mother claimed the child, and ooe
of the unjust Judges of that city, being a
political friend of tbe father of tbe child
committed tbe child to III unnatural parent,
Tbe child ran away from Us parents, seek
ing a borne with Mis. Witner, the lady to
whom II bad been given, but the parents
followed It up, reclaimed It aod bad It sent
to tbe House of Refuge. Mrs. Witner, by
writ of habeas corpus songbt to deliver tbe
child from the House ol Reluge, and tbe
matter eame up lor beariog e day or two
ince, and tbe child was discharged and
immediately sought refuge with Mrs. Wit
ner, whereupon the beastly mother of tbe
obild attacked Mrs. Witner, and tbe bus-
band of Ibe latter coming to tbe rescue of
bis wife was knocked Insensible by tbe fatb
er 01 me cono.
