Marriage Under Difficulties.

A marriage that was attended with numerous difficulties because of scarcity of money, came off in Cincinnati a day or two ago. After paying for a license (75 cents), the groom had but 25 cents left. He collected enough from spectators for the magistrate’s fee, but another obstacle arose. The young man said that if he did not have a certificate to prove his marriage, the parents of the bride would not believe the ceremony had taken place, and there would be trouble. Another collection was taken and the certificate was provided. Then the couple went away happy. They were from Hamilton, Ky., and had eloped to avoid the opposition of the brides parents.
