I1B@A law has been enacted in Cal ifornia that will prevent the frequency of, if not entirely suppress, the bar barous practice of dueiing. It requires any Legislator, on taking the oath of office, to swear he has not been engag- ed in or aided a duel since the passage of the law; requires the survivor in a duel to pay all the debts of the other party, besides disqualifying him for any place of trust or profit in the State. It is considered complete preventive.
 HORN SNAKE.-The Eaton CO., ) Register says that a gentleman living some miles west of that place, lately killed "Horn Snake," a reptile often talked of, but rarely seen. It is said to be a most yenOmous snake. The Register thus describes it:
 "The monster killed measured four feet in length; and the horn at the end of the tail, through an almost imper- ceptible hole from which the poison is eiected, was about an inch and half long, spiral, sharp at the point, and so hard as to defy the effort to cut it with a knife"

 WIFE.-There is no combination of letters in the English language which excites more pleasing and interesting associations in the mind of man than the word wife.
 There is magic in this little word. It sends to the minds eye 8 cheerful companion, disinterested adviser, d nurse in sickness, a comforter in mis- fortune, and a faithful and ever affec- tionate friend. It coniures up the i'm age of a lovely and confding woman, who cheerfully undertakes to contribute to your happiness-to partake with you the cup, whether of veal or woe, which destiny may offer.
 The word wife is synonymous with the greatest earthly blessing; and we pity the unfortunate wight, who is con- demned by fate's severe decree to trudge alone through life's dull pilgri- mage without one.
