OBITUARY.

In your issue of Sunday,it became your mean
choly duty 10 announce The death Of Mrs. MAR
GARET r. RANDOLPH, widow ofthe late Lieut..
JOHN b. RANDOLPH, Of the United States Navy.
She died after few days illness, leaving five
little children. Mrs. RANDOLPH was well and in
timately known to the writer. She was an ex-
traordinary woman. In the character OF her
mind she united almost every element of genius,
which was improved and elevated by the rarest
accomplishments. She was not less remarkable
for her strong practical sense and her wit which
enlivened every company, ever quick and spark
ing, was SO tempered by her kind humor as never
to infct wound. She was as kind and as gene
rous in her nature as she was bright and attrac-
tive in her mind. She had many warm friends,
and deserved them ALL Her death has cast a
gloom on our society, for she was one of its
brightest ornaments. She was afectionate
daughter, and watchful and devoted mother.
May He who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb have in his peculiar care her little orphans

A TRIPLE JEWISH MARRIAGE. - Between
the hours of twelve and one o'clock yesterday,
a blissful scene was witnessed by a large con-
course of friends in the Synagogue of the Jews
on Lloyd street. Three happy couples were at
the same ceremony, united 10 the bands of
holy wedock by Rev. DIR. Hockheimer. The
candidates for matrimonial honors, ia pairs,
having appeared within the altar, long white
WOODEN robe was thrown entirely over each
couple. The Rev. gentleman assembled the
desk and delivered an address. Then descend
ing, he approached the first couple and caused
the gentleman to place upon the right fore
finger of the lady ring. This was followed
by the male attendant tending to the groom
glass Of wine--the bridesmaid followed the ex-
ample, and groom and bride each partook of
the wine. The minister then read-the robe
was entirely removed-and the wine again
handed and tasted as before. The ceremony
in the other two cases was precisely similar.
The brides were appropriately attired in white,
with Grape shawls, embroidered. Head dresses,
light caps neatly trimmed with evergreen.
Throughout the entire service there was deep
silence and solemnity--and the ceremony
Though the language was not understood by
some) was evidently conducted with ability.
AT the close there were many congratulations
and kind feelings expressed, whilst few, one
Of them probably an aged mother, gave vent to
her feelings in tears.--Bau. Sun OF Monday.

BANK VETo.-The Governor of Pennsylva-
MIA has returned, without his approval, the act
of the Legislature chartering the Bank Of Potts
town. In the message returning the bill, he
ayows a readiness to sanction the incorpora-
ton of new banks when indispensably neces-
sary, and clearly demanded by the actual bust
ness wants and interests of the State, but in
determining this question, the locality itself
its existing banking faclities-its proximity to
other banks, and to the great marts Of trade
the means of communication--the amount,
value and character Of its trade and business,
and other attendant circumstances, should be
considered. From careful examination Of all
these, and with proper reference to private and
public interests, he cannot discover the neces-
sity that requires, or the wants or interest Of
the community that clearly demand the loca-
ton of o branch at Pottstown, and therefore
withhohs his approval.

REMARKABLE PRopHEsY.-The following re-
markable prediction was made by Friar Bacon,
who was born in the year l,2l4, some $40 years
ago. "Here," says certain writer, lis poetry
and philosophy wound together, forming a
wondrous chain Of prophesy':
Bridges unsupported by arches will be made
to span the foaming current Men shall de-
scend to the bottom of the ocean, safely breath
ing, treading with firm step on the golden
sands never frightened by the light Of day.
Call but the secret powers of Sol and Luna into
action, and behold a single steersman sitting
at the helm guiding the vessel which divides
the waves with greater rapidity than if sire had
been filled with crew of mariners toiling at
the oars; and the loaded chariot, no longer
encountered by the painting steeds, shall dart
on its course with resistless force and rapidly.
Let the simple elements do thy labor; bind the
eternal elements and yoke them to the same
plough"
