A marriage took place on the night OF
the 18th uItimo, at the Nevada Hotel, OF
a lady, not unknown to the California
public, to a. gentleman from Kentucky,
now a citizen OF this State, he being the
Jifh upon whom she had conferred Hy-
snenial honors, and the third whose heads
are yet above the sod. BY a strange CO.
cateDation of circumstances her two last
husbands, between whom and herself all
marital duties had ceased to exist by the
operation Of the divorce law, had put up
at the Nevada House on the same eve-
ming, ignorant Of the fact that their former
cara sposa had rested under the same ROOT
with themselves, and also that they had
both, in former years, been welded to the
same lady. Next morning they occupied
seats at the breakfast table opposite the
bridal party Their eyes met with mute,
but expressive astonishment. The lady
bride did not faint, but bravely informed
her newly acquired lord of her singular
situation, and who their guests were. In
ffuenced by the nobleness of his nature
aud the happy ln'pu ses of his heart, he
summoned his predecessors to the bridal
chamber, and the wartnest greetings and
congratulations were interchange,l be-
tween the four in the most u1rcservetl
and friendly manner. The two ex-ords
frankly declared that they ever found in
the lady an excellent and faithful compan-
ion, and that they were the authors of the
difficulties which produced their separa-
ton, the cause being traceable to n too
free indulgence in the use Of Intoxicating
drinks. The legal lord and master de-
clared that his affection for his bride was
strengthened by the coincidence, and tina,
his happiness was increased, if possible,
hy what had occurred. After few pres
ents of specimens from their well filed
purses, the parties separated--the two
ex-husbands for the Atlantic States, with
the kindest regards ofthe lady for the fu-
ture welfare of her former husbands.
Not the leas, singular circumstance at
tending the above, is that the three were
all married on the 18th December.
