MARTINSBURG MATTERS.
Fixed With a Shilling.

  In reply to my request, Rev. J. H. Esterline has risen and explained 
why he was seen south of the Methodist Church so late as 10 o'clock 
P.M. a few nights ago.  He admits that he joined Daniel Fix and Mrs. 
Shilling in the holy bonds of matrimony.  Since the happy couple are 
"Fixed" it is not necessary to ask whether Rev. Esterline got a 
"shilling" for his fee.  I suppose he received more than that, as the 
happy groom got a good big "Shilling," and the buxom bride, after many 
trials and difficulties, managed to "Fix" herself for life.
