LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. cas ew ee ‘a jat- ay last, that a friend of his from Orange county, im the Old Dominion, was in this city on delicaté business—namely, a runaway mat- Se» -rithonial match—at once sought him out, and volunteered his services to assist in the impor- tantvceremonies; an office which, to say the «>> least, was indicative of solicitous kindness Tea however, on inquiry, that it was uot bis friend who was to be married, but the Sctcopctin, Duly as bo had ovierel nee 18. as ev! 80 mDuL) interest @ the contemplated hymenial pro- | evedings, he was entrusted with the businers 4 eprom '@ minister. Accordingly, he hur- aay off for that purpose, and, making inquiry on the he was directed to a stately res!- Pac was met at the door, in res; to tthe | Fivging, by a more than ordinarily ' e servant. ‘Is the minister ‘within?’ hurriedly asked the groomsman, (we suppose he was acting this important char- acter.) * He is,” replied the servant. ‘Then I must see him instantly,”’ continued the in- terrogator. ‘‘Your name, sir.’’ ‘Never mind that; I must see the minister without business is of such a character no time to wait for coremony.’’ Bo gentleman was invited into the par- Jor, when the minister entered, making 2 pro- to his visitor ‘Are you a minis- ter?” hoinquired. “Iam, sir.” “Then I »» wish to engage your services. I want you t> ~~ go with me to the American hotel; you under- ‘ stand—a couple from Virginia are there in , and your presence is required to make their happiness complete ” ‘ You want me to “be ent asa witness?’ “ No, sir, I have upon you to tie the knot—to marr pronounce them man and wife.’ ‘ mover did euch a thing in my life; I am the minister from ———; not a minister of the we Othe groomsman apologized, ag well as he : could, under the circumstances -~said some- thing about information having been given to him, and, stumbling over a chair, evacuated the premises in double-quick time; the foreign minister, with a bewildered look, 4...

IL.) American says: “ This military corps starts on its tour to Washington, as we learn, on Thuraday the 12th day of December next. Tho Veterans contemplate visiting New York, Philadelphia aad Baltimore, stopping in each city long enough to see the notabilities of those places ** We have no doubt they will be received in all these cities with becoming attcntions. are re mtatives of the Granite State in each of these cities, who will no doubt extend : a hearty welcome tothem. [tis no ordinary corps, we, in this region, are well aware; but we had no idea that all ciasses of our citizens were generally represented in it. But on looking over the catalogue we find among its members :—Major Generals, 2; colonels, 8; majors, 6; captains, 10; judges, 4; lawyers, 8; physicians, 12; mayor, 1; ex-mayors, 2; city marshal, 1; ex-city marshals, 2. bank —— 3; cashiers, 3; editors, 2; fermers, 1; master mechanics, 19; manufasturers. stablers, 3; real estate brokers, 4; ministers 3 of manufacturing cempanies, mer- chants, 25' We doubt whether a military company in any other city of the Union ec: show such a catalogue vf its enterprising ci tizens. As a military corps, the Veterans make an imposing appearance, and we hope their tour will be one of pleasure to all con- cerned.”” A Har As 1s a Hat.—The reader is resp fully referred to the advertiscmentof oure! and accommodating neighbor, John T. Evans, if he wants a fashionable, and at the e-me time serviceable hat, really at a price to suit the present tight times. Evans is a graduate of Genin’s establishment, where he learned the seeret that the nimble sixpence is in the “end more profitable in trade than the slow shilling. Or, in other words, that more is made in the long run by turning his capital over two or three times a year, at a compara- tively small profit each time, than by seching to make a much greater profiten each sale, and thus turning hie capital over once a year at most. Genin, who is notoriously a “ fast man” in trade—a driver and creator of business—ha3 fairly inoculated Evans with all his go-ahead propensities; which makes his emporium cne of the most lar places for head gear this side of New York, with those who seek eapi- tal articles in the height of the ton, at north- ern prices. Natroxay Turatre —This evening, Miss Matilda Heron is announced to appear a: ‘* Camille,” in the tragic play of that name— an entirely new version of Dumas‘’s produc- tion, dramatized and translated by herself. ‘The ineidents, it is said, abound with thrillirg interest. The Philadelphia Sunday Merenry. while Speaking of Miss Heron's performances in that eity, says: “Her rendering of Camille w:s highly artistic, and in come ef the scenes she displayed powers which stamp her as one of the first actresses on the Amorican etage. The last scene was especially wonderful in dra- matic effect. The audience seemed spell- bound, and a death-like silence reigned throughout the house. Not a whisper could be heard, and no seat was vacated before the fell of the curtain. In other scenes Miss Heron was very fine, and we may mention as among the most acceptable that in which she encounters Armand in the ball-room ”” A Case of some irterest was yesterday decided before Justice Hollingshead. The facts, as we have learned them, are bricfly these: T. H. Phillips leased a lot and frame building from Mrs. S. M. Birch, on D near Bighth strect, giving her a promise, in writ- ing, of ove bundred dollars a year fur the use of premises. The house was burned down; but, notwithstanding this, she rendered a bill for six months’ rent. This Mr. Phillips re- sisted, on the ground that, as the buildio, had been consumed by fire, he could not, « course, occupy it, and was thercfore rclonsed from further obligation a3 a tenant. J L. Smith, — > #ppeared as counsel for Mr. Phi!- lips, and J. D. Clarke, esq , for Mrs. Birch. The case had previously been tried before a without a conclusion ; but yesterday an- other rendered a verdict for the defeni- ant, Mr. Phillips. / Tae WAsaixcrox Hichtanpers.—This gal- lant corps has appointed Clement Reynolds, of “El Dorado,” their second lieutenant, in the / place of John A. Campbeil, who has been pro- moted to the first lieutenancy, vice H.C. Har- rover, resigned. Le The Highlanders intend giving a bail this season, at an early d in their usual bril- liant and succe:sful sty!>. The announcement will be hailed with delight by all those who have had the fortane to enjoy their former ef- forts to gratify our military and citizens in that line. —_—_ Revivav.—There is quite a revival of reli- eer in progress at Ryland Chapel, in the eventh Ward.
