A romance IN REAL LIFE.-A wedding
took place in Bristol, England, few weeks
since, under somewhat romantic circum-
stances, realizing the old adage, that "Truth
is strange; stranger than fiction" 1t appears
that n sister of Mrs. NJ, who resides mt Mont
peer, some two or three years since, married
a merchant, and emigrated to California soon
aiterward, with a view of betterng their for.
tunes, taking with her the likeness of an un-
married sister. The picture happened to be
hung in very conspicuous part of their
house in California, and attracted the atten
ton of Il rich resident of that district, who
happened to pay visit to the house He
was enraptured with the image of the fair
unknown, and exclaimed "By Jove, III marry
shat girl If she is to be found in the world"
lie was told where she resided, and he
posted to her Il note inclosing present Of
forty pounds sterling, and few days since a
knock was heard at the door, and on the
young lady going to open il, a good looking,
bronzed-ieatured gentleman rushed into the
house and gave chaste salute, exclaiming
that he had come from the other end Of the
world to find her, at the same time pulling
out the likeness which first led him to seek
his attraction. or course they were married,
and are to "live long and die happy,"a as usual.

About hogshead Of acorns Of the cork
oak have been introduced from the south Of
Europe by the U. 5. Patent Office, and dis
trbuted in the middle and southern States
for experiment, or to test their adaptation
10 the climate. This tree, in its native cOun-
try, where il is an evergreen, usually grows
to height of twenty or thirty feet, but in
England there are specimens which exceed
fifty feet in height, with diameter of more
than three feet The substance famiIiarly
known to US as cork, is the epidemis or outer
back, and sometimes grows two or three
inches thick. Should The experiment sue.
ceed, it will be subject of great national
Importance that plantations should be es-
tablished 10 various paris of the country for
the purpose of growing this useful substance,
particularly in the event of war between
this country and Europe, in consequence OF
which the supply would be cut off.

CURIOSITY GOVERNS THE Would "A cer-
gvman once announced to his people that he
would preach sermon to young men; the
pcws of his church were crowded with hyoung
ladies'. lie Then announced 4 sermon to the
Young women; the church was thronged with
broadcoth lie proclaimed an address TO
children; and the fathers and mothers, and
what some one calls "the dear middle aged
people" were out in force. He gave notice
that he should exort sinners; and he had the
sexton for an audience. So the announce
ment of subject is not always the best way
to secure the audience for whom it is best
calculated, and for whom the lecture is
written.

There was a great excitement here and

gilsis Of that city. lie died after several
days. confinement, from injuries received
from knives and pistols, during drunken
scrape in which he was engaged al S.anwix
Hall; and, according 10 the New York pa.
pers, there never has been SO large funeral
procession assembled on any former occa-
sion in ihnl city. The cowardly manner in
which he was aIlacked-being overpowered
by numbers and literally butchsred, has cre-
aIed strong sympathy in his favor, and
every step has been taken that was deemed
necessary for The arrest Of the murderer;
bu, so far their efforts have failed.
There were several persons concerned IN
this lracas, among whom was Morissey, an.
other one Of those villains with which New
York has been cursed for some time past.
They have all been arrested, except the one
who committed the deed. and some are un.
der bonds for their appearances at court,
while others, unable 10 give security, have
been lodged In jail for safe keeping. Baker
