Darien (Timber C>asrt?j. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 8. Married for Money. A MISSISSIPPI BENEDICT MAKING OFF WITH his wife’s GREENBACKS IS CAUGHT AND MERCILESSLY MAULED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE HONEYMOON. A marriage was consuinated iu Ya zoo City on Thursday last, which, from i’..s inception lo the grand finale, was the most extraordinary that has ever occurred in any communtity — the parties to the transaction were white. The facts are these: Some months ago, Mr. wooed and won a buxom widow of some fifty summers, named . Their courtship was one of felicity and unalloyed bliss, and all passed off as “merry as a marriage lx 11,” until the twain were mad one flesh. We will here state that the widow possessed, besides other “charms,” a pile of greenbacks, which the gay and festive youth also had a hankering after. But we are digress ing. The happy pair, on the day übi re named, repaired to the hospitable cabin of tlie sable and notorious pro fessional, Dr. Doty, and sent for ’Squire Wilson to come hither and perform Jthe solemn rites of m it rirnony. The ’Squire answered the . summons promptly, wheu they were made one twain —the “doctor” offici ating as groomsman, bridesmaid, etc. Now he loved the fair widow and she loved him And wedlock of each was their wish, And so Sharkey Wilson cooked both into one, And so he served up a h—l! of a dish. As soon ns the ceremony was over, a friend to the family hastened to head quarters to prepare for their re ception. The happy pair, accompa nied by the Doctor, now wended their way homeward. They scarcely crossed the threshold when lie commenced a vigilant search for the old woman’s treasure. He soon found it, and on the double-quick darted through the back door. The daughter, also a wid ow, bad been watching the movements of her new made dad, took after him through the corn, and captured the flyiug fugitive near the house. Having a rope, she downed and tied him se curely to the root of a large mulberry tree —and, with the aid of a good hick ory, administered a castigation to the patient, terrible to behold. The bride soon staggered to the scene, to assist her daughter in the work of recon struction, and ns the licks would fall heavily upon the back of her truant husband, she would exclaim: “Oh, my dear, how I love you; but, you cl—d rascal; you stole my money.” The piteous cries aud lamentations of the now unhappy groom soon reached the ears of the ever vigilant police, Atkius and Collins, who hur ried to the spot. The scene, when he reached the trio, baffles descrip tion. Tied to the roots of the trees was the husband of only a few hour’s creation; the step-daughter, with her night-clothes torn into threads, stick iu hand, and rapidly repeating the licks, while the bride was punching him in the ribs with her fist, calling him thief, robber, ku klux, using cuss words, etc., and demanding her money. The groom would look up imploringly at the polieo and claim their protection, adding, “Jack, untie me; these cl and women have got mo foul.” The ground around the con flict, and stick also, were covered with hair, dry goods, buttons, etc., belong ing to the young widow. To end tho melee, the police released the gav Lothario and separated the parties. Thus ends their honeymoon, at least for the present. — [ Yazoo Citj (Miss.) Democrat, July 21.

A countryman came in one day while the proprietor was in tbe back room, aud seeing a saddle that suited, asked the price. Monkey said nothing.
