Unmdr5 led Ladies in demand.-A cor.

cial, who writes from Cassville, in Wis.
consin Territory. says
A great disparity in numbers prevails
between the sexes. Three fourths ofthe
population, for miles around, is of the
harder mould. Marriageable ladies,
consequently, are in great demand. A
married lady told NE she had acted as
bridesmaid at three weddings within
the last year, for the want of AN unmar-
ried one TO perform that service. In
two OF the cases the brides were IA years
old-the other twenty. At Dubuque
the proportion is said TO be seven to one;

supposed, entirely devoured her proge>

his sly from the stock of neighbor, and
had nearly forgotten his loss, when few
