A BoID MAN.-Ohio Courage must mt h.
doubted hereafter. since one of her sons bos
dared to marry LOLA MoNTEz. Inasmucb "a
the Mr.. Hull who has performed this feat for.
merly hung out a law " shingle' on the Frank.
lin Buildings, we give place to the following
extract from letter to the Cincinnati Gazette
from San Francisco 1t says -
The most noteworthy incident of the week;
by great odds, is the marriage extraordinary Of
Patrick Purdy Huh. Esq, one of the proprie-
tors of the Whg Advertiser newspaper of this
city to Madame Marie Rossanna Dolores. Coun-
tess of Landsfeld de Head, Baroness of Rosen:
thai, and Chaironessc of the Order of st. The
rese. The ceremony was performed on the
morning of the I'd ult.. by the Rev. Fathcr.Fla-
vel Fontainc. of the Holy Church of the Mission
dolores. n large company of distinguished
citizens participated in the ceremonies of the
occasion, and the marriage certificate was duly
attestcd by Gen. James f. Wainwright. in his
maglsteral character Of clerk of the county of
San Francisco. Mrs. Patrick Purdy Hall after
ward repaired to the city. where she remained
until four O'Clock, whcn in company with her
husband. she departed on her bridal trip to
Sacramento. This singular marriage naturally
excited both surprise and mcrriment, and spec
ulations are rife with respect to the object Of
the interesting parties. 1t is asserted to have
been pure love match on the part of Lola,
while the assertion that Patrick Purdy Hall,
o.
morning OF the affair." seems to indicate that he
was actuated by mercenary motives and a de-
sire to the requirement of nOtOriety. But Of
THIS 1t becomes not an outsider to speak. a lit
tie incident that occurred during the absence of
the bridal party at the church proved somewhat
amusing to the "fancy." and excited no little
comment on the part OF the public.
''SOmc of Mr.. Hulls friends being mischev-
iously inclined, visited his sleeping apartments
and draped then-hcd. chairs, windows, and
all-in tapestries of black Grape, and upon the
return OF the happy groom he was considerably
surprised ut the dolOrOus aspect of the bridal
chambers. 1t is universally conceded that the
happy husband is the bravcst man in the State;
for it is much doubted whether another could
have been found who would willingly have
mated with the woman whose boast is that she
is her own protector, under any circumstances.
MIR. Hull originally turned up some whcro
about the interior of Ohio. and has been a resi-.
dent of California about three years. lie is not
man OF ability or education. although he is
said to have fair business qualifications The
most that his friends claim for him is that lie is
'clcvcr fellow In personal appearance and
address he is quite another sort of man than
you would have believed would prove accepta-
BILE to the distinguished Lola, being quite ordi-
nary in both qualifications. In short, the dig
nifty of his presence will be appreciated when
inform you that his circle of acquaintance,
usually and unusually address him as 'Pat.'
But the marriage, as Cockney would say, is
III odd, very h'odd.'
Judge Finn was, during his late absence

and Whled away an hour in the Hall where the

in conversation with some gentleman, an old
citizen. who kindly pointed out to this stran-
ger visitor the notabilities of the Convention,
and remarked that a discussion had Just termi-
mated as to the propriety of submitting the elec-
ton of Judges to the people, but on the repre-
sentatOn of some influential lawyers from the
West, that in Ohio, whose constitution had re-

Finn one OF the most corrupt of Judges, had
been elevated to the bench, the old plan of ten
year appointments by the Legislature was again
adopted. The Judge was off in a few moments
