Telegraph: Congreve and Shakespeare and several other poetp, for aught we know, have suggested In substance, "Thus Brief still trends upotttuo uools of pleasure; Married In haste, we may repent at leisure."

Morris who roused Justice E. B. from his slumbering bed Friday night about the hour of tea o'clock to be married. They were not a couple of giddy young people nor of an age when tin- saemly haste is liable to be Indulged in, for the groom registered as aged forty- two and the bride has passed thiry- seven "summer's fantastic heats" aud probably as many rigid winters. She hails from our neighboring town of Sterling, a city, it appears, too quiet for a marriage ceremony.

Yet from avenue to avenue on 3rd street one can see burdocks on nearly every corner, even crowding over on the sidewalks, ready to fasten "their burrs to the dresses of ladies as they pass. If it is as bad in other parts of the city, there will be burrs enough this fall to seed the country." If the streets are growing up with weeds in places, why not employ men to keep the weeds down? If possible it might be advantageous to rent one or two mowers and level the weeds wherever they are to be found all over the city. -(-There was a very attendance from Hock Falls at ItSo dedication of the new Montuiorency church Sunday evening.
