held, Massachusetts, Eagle, says:


"A little incident is told about Young cou-
pie in Williamstown, who had made arrange
ments TO be 'spliced' Commencement week and
given out invitations 10 friends to attend the
ceremony inthe evening. 1t was discovered
on the morning ofthe happy day that the pub
fishing law had not been strictly complied
with, and that the CEREMONY would not be le-
gal.


Here was dilemma that called forth little
more Yankeelingenuity than either Of the hap
py couple could muster. They accordingly
applied TO distinguished clergyman and scno-
lar to know what could be done under the cir
cumstances.


The way was soon pointed out. The parties
assembled on hill within sight OF the village
where, under the authority Of the State Of N.
York, the splicing operation was satisfactorily
and durably performed; Witnessed by the moon
stars and trees, BESIDES numerous spectators,
and thus very unpleasant disappointment
avoided ~ .oe ,l.l.

4 There is future to all who would have
the virtue 10 repent, and the energy to atone.'
