II Matrimonial .flueniure.-An unparalleled
matrimonial adventure has taken place during the
last week in Dudley. Mr.. Wragg, patent
smoke bottle maker, few years ago. paiu MS a''-
dresses to Mrs. Bradley, in Birmingham street.
Dudley, but after long intimacy he proved lal'h-
less, and few weeks ago commenced paying
| his addresses TO Mrs. Lane, of the same town.
Mrs. Lane, happening TO be on fair terms OF
Friendship with her fair rival, was determined to
lpunish Mr. Wragg for his taithlessness. reign
ing to receive his addresses with tenderness, she
consented that the bans of marriage should be
! published in Wordsley Church,; and being expe-
rienced i'll the forms necessary to be undergone,
she undertook to have them published herself.
This she did; but instead of giving her own name,
she gave that of Mrs. Lydia Bradley. So far all
went well; but the difficulties to be overcome were
greater. The morning for the celebration came
and with it came Mr.. Wragg to the house Of his
new love. Mrs. Lane received him with smiles,
ready altired III her wedding dress, and informed
| him that if he would wait ten minutes whilst she
made some preparations, and put on her vail, she
would accompany him.-She then went up stairs
and transferred her wedding garments to Mrs
Bradley, who descended duly yelled and decorl-
ted for the ceremony. 1t is customary III Dudley
for the party to go to church.-The trepidaliol
of the representative of Mrs. Lane may be more
easily conceived than descrbed:-'The ceremony
was entered upon; aye, and such was the mod
est trepidauon Of poor Wragg, that he Wen
through it without raising his eyes, or noticing
that the name of his bride was Lydia Bradley
and not Nancy Lane After leaving the altar, re
covering his spirits, the gay Benedict attempted
to steal kiss. He was successful; but wha
words can depict his astonishment, his indigna
tion to behold the face was not Nancy's bu
Lydia's! The sequel only remains to be told
the bridegroom who had been audby consolin&
himself upon the prospect Of being ''independen
for life" with Mrs Lanes property, sought in
slant redress by applying to an attorny. Alas
the gentleman Of the law told him that his only
remedy an application for a divorce, but ht
would not be answerable for the amount of the
costs; so the aithless Mr. Wragg has beef
obliged to put up with his misfortune, to the NJ
small amusement of the whole town.-BcN

Rare Spor.-An ex-consable of Auburn,
n. Y, was observed the other day, sitting very
patiently on the curbstone Of the side with
fishing rod and line in his hand, apparently
fishing in the gutter. At his side was basket,
containing three smoked herring. 1t turned out,
on enquiry, that the old man had been hired by
some wags to sit and fish there all day, at the rate
of one smoked herring an hour, which was reg
ulary deposited in the basket as soon as it be-
came due.

Ha,niet's GraUe.-Among the many objects of
interest to a stranger at Esinore, are the castle
or fortress and the garden Of Marieslust, where is
to be seen what is called the grave of Hamlet.
The interior of the fortress contains nothing
markabe; the grave is misnomer-for Hamlet
lived regned, and died, and was buriedin Jutland.
A conspiracy had been formed against his life by
his step-father and mother, as the ancient Dutch
chronicles state: he feigned imbeciiity of mind
being aware of the plot laid to destroy him, form
ed another against them, and eventually burned TO
death the whole family, by setting fire to house
in which they were, and stopping up the doors.
He afterwards reigned quietly and respectfully,
and died natural death. may affirm that there
is no brook crowned with willows near Esinore,
where Ophelia could have pershed, and the en-

the bitter almond are considerable, but it should
be administered by professional persons only, be-
ing powerful poison when taken in too large
dose. The kernels of the sweet almond arc of

them is used by draughlsmen in tracing drawings
on common letter paper 1t may be interesting to
some of our fail readers to be informed that Mac
CAESAR oil is merely the oil Of Almonds coored
red with alkanet root, and the no less celebrated
Russia oil is the same, rendered milky by small
quantity Of ammonia or potash, and scented with
oil of roses. ..
Rowland's Lotion, Milk of Roses, Caledonian

of oxymuriate of mercury by almond emulsion,

Corn IN Mississippi.-lt would seem from re-
marks in some of the Mississippi papers, that
the people of that state do not intend, here
after, to rely SO exclusively upon the west fol
their corn and pork. The Natchez Free Trader
says: sit subtracts most previously from the
gain of plantation, to buy corn in the ear, al
from | to 2 dollars barrel, and pork at from
lS to 80 dollars barrel, for sixty, eighty, or a
hundred field hands, during the whole year
! The editor goes on to say, ''the true farming
policy begins now to be understood, and for the
encouragement of Mississippi planters, the corn
crop is almost invariably abundant; never did the
corn prospects look brighter than the present.
What the Free Trader says is no doubt true.
One OF our own citizens, who has visited and
spent much time in Mississippi, this spring, in
formed us yesterday, that he had seen as much
as five hundred acres ina body in corn, in that
state, and the whole looking as well as he had
ever seen the same article, any where The
Vicksburg Wing says; 'never within the mem
ory of man, has there been so fine prospect for
crops as there is this year in Mississippi. From
every part of the state we have the most
cheering accounts. In North Mississippi heavy
crops Of wheat have been raised, and it is more
than probable that next winter state will be
independent Of the west" the pork line

will be contracting for their next winter operations

The blessing Of Freedom.-Freedom is thu

is the appropriate sphere oftalen and virtue. Th

powerfully, must act freely; and it must act, too
under all the fair incentives of an honest ant
honorable ambition. This applies, especially, t.
the mass Of the people. There may be minds
and there are, which find sufficient incentive tt
exertion, in the love of knowledge and improve
ment, in the single aim at perfection. But thi
is not, and cannot be, the condition of the mass 0
minds. They need other impulses. Open then

way to wealth, to honor, to social respect and t,
public office, and you put life into any people
lmpart that principle to nation of Turks o
even of Hindoos, and it will be as resurrection
