 .a,s Ofer ef Marriage on Mount 1o'n-As party of pleasure were ascending Mount Tom a few days ago, a we'll dressed man, furnished with fishing tackle, accosted lady, one of the party, who had loiterec behind her companions, to en. ioy, without interruption, the beautiful scenery which lay along the rich valley of the Connect icut

 Good morning, madam ? said the fisherman, touching his hat. ..... ..t..5.y.,-

 Good morning, sir ]" replied the lady. with a dignity of manner which would have been consid- cred perfect at the Court of Queen Elizabeth.
