The LIMEHoUsE WILL CAsE.-We learn that
George BUST, esq, ordinary of Charleston district
on Thursday last, entered bis decree sustaining
the testator's will in this II questioned
on the grounds of defective execution and imbe-
clity of the testator from extreme old age on the
application Of one B. F. Oliver; and defended on
behalf the and daughter oftestator between
and among whom he devised his whole estate, real
and personal, 10 be equally divided, share and
share alike. The ordinary sustained the will on
both grounds. The witnesses were very numerous,
the evidence youminous, and the argument pro-
tracted and learned. The trial occupied the time
Of the late and the present ordinary for several
days. The decision is of considerable importance,
the will disposed of real estate to the value
of about hundred thousand dollars and
the devisees had sold the greater portion ofit be-
fore any question as to the validity of the will, to
perhaps hundred different purchasers or more.
The case underwent most thorough examin ton
and sitting, well in the examination and cross
examination of witnesses in the argument ON
both the law and the facts; and the ordinary's de-
cisiou, made under such circumstances, and with
the aid Of so much light, may well be regarded
settling the question, and sufficient to quiet the
minds of all concerned.

pin dizzying circles, like the whirling leaves

the welkin ring with their terrific shouts.

Singular Wedding Party.

Singular w eddIng Party.
"A correspondent of the Placer Herald
is responsible for the following:
A marriage took place on the night Of
the l5th December; at the Nevada Hotel
"a lady not unknown to the California
public, to a gentleman from Kentucky,
now a citizen of this State, he being the
fifth upon whom she has conferred Hy-
mensl honors, and the third whose heads
are yet above the sod. By a strange con-
cantenation Of circumstances, her two last
husbands, between whom and herself all
marital duties had ceased to exist bv the
operation of the divorce law, had put up
at the Nevada House on the same even
ing, ignorant of the fact that their former
cara sposa had rested under the same roof.
with themselves, and, also, that they had
both, in former years, been welded to.
the same lady. 5 s4 .sl}
Next morning they occupied seats at
the breakfast table opposite the bridal
party! Their eyes met with mute butex-
pressiye establishment. The lady did not
faint, bravely informed her newly acquir+
ed lord of her singular situation, and who.
| their guests were.
Influenced by the noblcness of his ma
ture and the happy impulses of his heart
he summoned his predecessors to his bril-
dal chamber, and the warmest greetings
and congratulations were exchanged be-.
tween the four In the most, unreserved
and friendly manner. The two ex-lords
frankly declared that they ever found in
the lady an excellent and faithful com
panion, and that they were the authors Of.
the difficulties which produced their sep
aration, the cause being traceable.to too
frequent use of Intoxicating drinks. a
The legal lord and master declared
that his affection for his bride was
strengthened by the coincidence, and that
his happiness was increased, if possible.
by what had occurred After a few pres
ents of specimens from their. well-flled
purses, the parties separated two
ex husbands for the Atlantic States, with
the kindest regards of the lady for the
future welfare of her former husbands
The most least singular circumstance at
tending the above is, that the three were
all married on the 18th of December.
