Glaus- gloser, aged 65.

Mrs. Ebber ling insisted upon inspecting the con tents of the box. Her liege lord ob jected, and a separation ensued.

The moral of it all is, of course, that husbands should have nu secrets from their wives, and that people shoulJ not marry either in their first or sec ond childhood. Marriage Licenses. Jno. C. Clark and Mis Maggie Moore Jno.
