Mitin A Dan Cupid did himself proud in Blair county, of the yesterday. orphans Guy court R. of Lingatelt, Blair county, issued permits to twenty-one couples, to wed. This is the greatest one day's record in the history of Blair county, since the marriage license law went into effect, thirty-one years ago.

June is the banner month for weddings, in this county, but at no time, was there ever so many licenses issued in one day, in the month of brides and roses. Attaches of the court house were unable to explain the spasmodic influx of marriageable people yesterday, some holding that there must have been little Cupids in the rain which was falling; a few declared that the Weather had nothing to do with it. but that it was due to the joyousness of the season, while others claimed that the report that turkeys were selling 3, 4 and 5 cents a pound, in Pittsburgh, caused parents of marriageable children to have them take the step, when stepping was good. Most of those procuring licenses yesterday be married today; some were married yesterday or last night, and a few have been postponed until still later dates. Of those licensed to wed yesterday, the oldest was a woman 65 who married a man of 54; the youngest was a blushing bride of sixteen summers.

A number of those procuring licenses vesterdav, had been married before. and one took the initial tep for a third union.
