Love is the union of two hearts
That beat in softest melody;

He looked with much anxiety fol
the next issue of the Gosham Sentinel

The compositor into whose hands
the notice was placed happened to be
on a spree at the time, and made a
wonderful blunder in setting the type
Here is the notice as printed:
Married.-At Gosham, Feb. 28th,

Miss Euphenia Piggins.
Jove is an onion of two heads
That beats its softest mellowy,
Time, with its cabbage heads, imparts

Lecture at the Church.

The lecture on Wednesday evening at the
Presbyterian Church, was delivered by j. Y.
MURDOCH, Esq Subject, Development
Of Character" The audience was not so
large as the entertainment deserved, owing
to the cold change in the weather, and 9th
er causes.
Mr.. MURDOCH handled the subject in a
mastery manner, and was frequently and
loudly applauded by the audience. He por-
trayed the gradual development Of charac-
ter in man, from lisping childhood to full
grown and intellectual manhood, in style
both pleasing and instructive. Among the
rest, we noticed full delegation present
from the Philognomian Society. The next
lecture will be delivered on Wednesday eve
ming of next week, and will be given by E
w. PACKARD, Esq, on "The Development
Of American Character"
1t was expected that j. Ross BROWNE
ESQ.,, would entertain our citizens on the
next evening, but owing to his stay among
us being limited, it will be impossible fol
him to do so. This we regret very much
as it deprives us of an intellectual treat
which We had made up our mind to enjoy
and which all who had read his entertaining
book had right to expect.

Lieutenant General.

1t will be seen by reference to our Con-
grcssonal news, published Thursday, that "a
resolution has passed both Houses of Con-
gress, creating Gen. SCOTT Lieutenant Gene
raj. This is right end proper Gen. SCOTT
is war-worn veteran, whom this nation
should delight to honor His life has been
passed amidst scenes of warfare. Wherever
the fight was fercest-wherever the struggle
was most doubtful, wherever the carnage
was most deadIy-there was seen his tall
and commanding form, cheering his troops
on to deeds of glory So long as our annals
shall bear record of the victories of Queens
town Heights, Lundy's Lane, Fort George
and Bridgewater, and those later and more
brilliant during the Mexican war, so long
will the name and fame of our Great Cap
tain endure. Since the death of Napoleon

Of Wellington, we believe he has had no
equal as a military chieftain. All honor
