p Horrible Fate Of Bridal Party Bell
vile (Oho) Advocate of the 18th ult.. gives
full account of the melancholy loss of life
attending bridal party, which we mentioned
a few days since. 1t appears that the 1 lth of
July was the day appointed for the marriage
of Charles Il. Ketter, Esq, Of Prairie du
Long, Monroe county, to Miss Rosalie Huel-
bnrg, Decd of Dutch Hill, about ten miles
distant, on the east side Of the kaskaskia riv-
er. Intervening about half way is the river,
which then was very high, and had overflow
ed its banks.
"After awaiting the arrival Of the bride and
her relatives at the place appointed for the
marriage, until nearly evening, a messenger
arrived with the dreadful tdings that all, ex-
cept the father and son, were drowned on their
way to the wedding-6ve women-the moth
er, the bride, two sisters, and young female
friend in their company, had met their deaths.
at seems that Mr.. HueIbefg, the father,
had risen early on the day before, and with
his family started for the place. One car
rage contained them, and as they approached
the river, where the ferry was awaiting them,
and were crossing the bottom Oh the road,
which was covered with water, the horses
were turned off. overseeing the carriage and
its passengers into deep slough or ravine.
The water was running rapidly. The father
chung 10 the vehicle-the son to a cluster OF
bushes, and were saved.
''By the assistance of some hunters, the DO
dies were recovered; each corpse was taken
up and placed on bier, and the sad process
sion, by 7 o'clock in the evening, had reached
the house Of feasting-thus suddenly changed
to a house of mourning. The feelings of this
wedding party-of the aged father, whose
grey hairs are going down in sorrow to the
grave. for a family thus annihilated-of the
brother, who mourns for his mother and all
his sisters, thus struck down together in his
presence-of lover whose heart is riven as
with thunder bot-the feelings and emo
tions of these can neither be imagined or de-
scribed.
''On the next day one grave was dug fol
FIVE persons-and side by side were laid the
mother. with her three daughters, and their
yoang friend and companion, Miss Dressed.
1.-The funeral was attended by vast assem-
blage of the neighboring country. and the fu
neral sermon was preached by the Rev. A
Dony, Lutheran preacher, of Bellville, wh'
had attended for very different service
Tears coursed down the faces of both preach
er and auditory during its delivery. and tn
hearts of all were impressed by the affectin!
scene. 'What shadows re are. and wha
shadows we pursue : 'e-BoFtmore sun.

rell's Journal, obtained in manuscript by Jas.
Darlington. and by him (l7SD embodied I'm
a traRslation) in his Miscellanies.-(See
Greenhow, lit, ct seq.) Thus, Cooks jour
nails having been published in 1884, his dis
coveries take precedence of Heceta, and OF Be-
deoa at least, if not of Maurell. Such, at
least, is the effect of Mr.. Greenhow's doc
trine; and, moreover, he himself afterwards
affirms that Cook ''saw no part Of the west
coast of America. south of Mount San Jacln-
to. or Edoecumh, which had not been prevl-'
ously seen by Perez, Bodega, or Heceta: and,
after passing that point. he was, as ne ire
uuently admits, aided. and in measure gui-
| ded by the accounts of the Russian voyages
The. observation of the English were, howeV-
| er, infinitely more minute aud more important
| in their results than those of any or all the
other havigators who had preceded them In
the exploration of the North Pacific: for, by
determining accurately the positions of the
principal points on the coasts OF Asia and A.
merica bounding the sea, they first afforded
the means of ascertalning the extent OF those
continents, and the degree Of their proximity
to each other, respecting which. The most er-
roneous ideas had been adopted; and the COM
parative ease and security with which they
executed this task, served to dispel the appre.
tensions, previously entertained, with regard
to expeditions through that quarter Of the o.
cean."-pp. 1897
There remain to speak of but two Spanish
: voyages-that of Arleaga and Bodega, III
1873; and that of GaIiano and Valdes, in 1899.
: Of the first of these, we need only repeat what

a of men still! fit for action; and it needs not
s. therefore, any calculation such as we have
y given of remoter events.

Of plants should be busted; orit may be thrown

peach trees, in particular, were remarkably

has been likewise observed that the verdure
