Lindsey was on his way back to pay Nugent for the horse when he was arrested.

Says he thought the horse was the property of another man when he took it, and that his object was to get out of the country, as his life had been threatened by the friends of McMahan, killed in self defense by Lindsey about two years ago. Ho also says the horse was brought to him by a friend who was cognizant of his danger, and he was not aware of the ownership of the horse until daylight next morning.

A large number of friends were present, aho unite in pronouncing the affair a grand success. The marriage ceremony was performed after the manner of the Quakers. An excellent supper was served, and dancing was indulged in by the devo. tees of Terpsichore until the waning shades of night betokened the approach of day. The following is a list of the presents; A fruit spoon and a cream spoon Fa soup ladle; sugar basket; a tea set embracing eight pieces; velvet sofa cushion trimmed with silver braid; pickle -jar; set of knives and forks; a cruet stand; four silver goblets; water pitcher; tray; fruit knife, nut cracker; knife rest; three card baskets; jewell case; berry dish; two table bells.

A lively runaway occurred on our streets to-day. A team belonging to J. P. Linthicum was left standing in front of the saloon on the west side of the square, while the driver absented himself for a few 110- ments. The horses became frightened and dashed off in a run, going down the south side of the square at a rattling gait.

They went in the direction of Fink's corn shel. ler, and after dodging one or two teams of horses, run into a wagon drawn by two poke of cattle. The oxen immediately started off on a run, and the harness on the near horse of the runaway team getting fast near the right fore wheel of the ox- wagon, he was thrown down, his harness stripped off of him and both wagons ran over him, but strange to say, he at once got up and trotted off. No damage was done so far as we have learned, except the breaking of a pair of hounds and a neck-yoke, Singular. That because the bond proposition which was an extravagant one for the construction of 8 court house was rejected, that the public square should be rejected as a suitable place upon which to erect our present building, which is certainly very elegant for this new country, and which is ev ery day exposed to fire where it is.

Was it good policy to locate it in such an exposed place simply because it was not a $50,000 house? Certainly not. Nor does it help as it otherwise would have done, to beautify and emblemish our rising city. Again, is it not singular, and is it economy to allow so many houses to be exposed to the varying changes of climate when a small outlay for paint would preserve them and add much to their beauty and the ap: pearance of the city. Nor is it less singular that in this land of plenty, our citizens should starve out so many newspaper "inkslingers." Who will be next? It is also amusing to see a stranger rush into. Patterson Ridgley's lumber office for a large bill of lumber, only to find he had overlooked that smaller sign, "Vansyckle Pursel, attorneys at law," and find his mistake by an address like the following: "Good day sir; take a seat sir; any trouble we can help you out of to-day sir." In short, would it not be vastly better to paint over or take down about a dozen signs? And lastly, if this and much more superfluous matter were left out of our county papers, and instead thereof, we could have a brief account of the doings of our National Congress.

I ask would it not be better-for all editors and readers, as many would not then take a state paper who now da, and who are not able to take both. M. 144 PENS FOR 75 CENTS.

The time, passed pleasantly away until the near appsoach of the Sabbath warned the guests that it was time to depart, after. wishing the happy couple many years of prosperity and happiness.
