Albany News: A marriage wu celebrated in

and adventure. Mr. W. W. Hall, a nod and
reapected dtiien, and a widower of 60 sam-
mers, has for some month! bean enamored of
MIm Georgia, daughter of Mr. J. H. Butland,
hia near neighbor. The parents of the girl
objected to bar onion with her lover,
who hu two daughters as old as aho. Matters
bad been in abeyance fox somo time prior to
tho wedding. The lovelorn gentleman had
been requested to oeaae hia virtte to tho home
of Mr. Bntland. An idea occurred to him a
day or two prior to tho marriage whloh wu
fraught with fond hope* and eventually cul
minated in a happy result. Ha obtained the
■■alstance of hia daughters, and matter* were
arranged. The Mtaoes Hall, on Sunday morn
ing, ratted Mr. Holland's family. Of course
nothing waa suspected, and they met the
yoong lady without restraint. Hr.S.G.Long,a
J.P. of the oonnty, had been requested to hold
himself in readiness, and was at a neighboring
house all day. Sunday wu a wet and stormy
day, and although note* passed frequently
daring the day between the lovesick pair, it
wu impound* to arrange matters Mtlsnsctorl-
ly. Night crept oo space, and the flood-gates
are still wide open. At ten o’clock, p. m., all
the family and their guests have retired, and
are sleeping tha sleep of tha innocent. A
ahrill whistle is beard at tha gate at this hour,
and the maiden hears it She hurrlM out into
the rein and darkness, and as she reaches tho
ralp she is not startled to behold a man stand
ing on the outside of the enclos
ure. A whispered dialogue, bat brief, enmes.
She returns to her room and in a moment re.
appears at the gate accompanied by tha MImm
llall. The strange man takes her into hia
arms and convey* her, through rain and mud-
to a buggy In waiting one hundred yards dis
tant down tha road. She, with the Miner
llall, gets Into the buggy, sod the groom-elect
and his true and faithful friend follow on

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.
The Bogan Bonds Again.
When tho republican government of Geor
gia waa fiddling around and dipping into
things in the name of John Pope and liberty,
it concluded to raise the wind by issuing s
lot of unauthorized and crooked bond* The
undertaking was a highly-promising one,
nntil l)r. Angier, the republican state treas
urer, informed all concerned that he would
not be a party to such proceeding. Thera
wu considerable surprise, bnt no consterna
tion, tunong those who wanted to raise the
wind. The making of bogus bonds waeon
industry not to be lightly given np.
Treasurer Angler continued his protests
against the bonds, refhsed to sign them, and
teftued to stamp them with the seal of the
state. Henry Clews, however, thought he
lira smarter man titan the treasurer, and
he had no hesitation in placing the bogus
bonds on the market Treasurer Angier, in
order to warn the public, went to New York
city, printed a history of the bonds in the
newspapers, and pnt everybody on notice
that the bend* were bogus and that the state
wm not responsible for their issue. He ad
vertised the facta in this country, and in
Europe, and it cannot be said, with troth,
that there ia an innocent holder of these
well-advertised bogns bond*
Clews, however, succeeded in disposing of
a number of the bogns bonds in Germany,
and, from that day to this, these German
holders have been hanging on the ragged
edge ol hope and despair. They have em
ployed able counsel, and this able counsel
hss been engaged for several yean in an
effort to compel tho people of Georgia to pay
bonds with which they had nothing to do,
anil for which they are not responsible. A
more hopelrM effort wu never undertaken—
and we have no donht that the German hold
ers of the bogns bonds frequently grow
weary. Probably they have paid oat a good
deal of money in tho shape of oonnsel fees,
fur those who betray a disposition to dance
to the music that lawyers make must pay the
pipera.
We have already printed the current state
ments relative to the cnit to be brought
against Georgia by thostato of Illinois.
Thoughtful readers need not be told that
there is nothing in them. It may be that
Illinois is to be need ns a calf to compel tho
German cow to give down her milk into the
lawyers’ jugs; bnt, beyond this, the threat
ened anit has no significance. Oar own
opinion is, that the lawyers are entitled to
all the milk they can gather in this way;
bnt there is no reason why anybody should
begin to feel nervous when the legal gentle
men atlck their beads over the fence and
holler, "Co, wench I"
