Approach Of Spring.

In the latter part of last week, we we're
favored with beautiful weather, and the
note of the blue bird, that harbinger OF
Spring, gladdened the ear. But the
CHEEKY songster was premature for on
the Sabbath, it showed all day, husbng
the music of this commoner of air. Since
then The weather has become fine, and our
hopes for the speedy opening of Spring
are again revived. So mote il be; we
have had long and dreary winter, with
unprecedented continuance of cold, and
look forward to the approach Of mllder
season with more than ordinary longing.

SALE OF A WIFE.-A short while ago
Mr., Robert Rhodes was united in the
bonds of matrimony with Miss East,
ham, of Longbridge, but the marriage was
unfortunate. Both parties very soon for
got their vows 10 Glove and cherish, " for
shortly after they relinquished the fascina-
ton of each others charms and separated.
Since this event they have both lived in
private lodgings. TO bring the marriage
knot to solution, the husband, on Mon
day last, publicly led his wife through the
streets of the village by halter, offering
her for sale, when, being viewed by one
and examined by another, she was ultl-
maleIy, after little higgling, "knocked
down for 20S. The purchaser was a Mr.,
George Banks, who quietly but ga'lsn'ly
seized the hatar and led her away.-PreS-

LADY IN A RAFFLE.--The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Express
saws A young and beautiful girl, (oI
course) but unfortunately wanting in the
substantial goods of this matter of faci
world, has lately conceived the idea OF
putting herself up in lottery. She has
accordingly issued proposals, through
some of the newspapers, to this effect
She values herself at 100000 francs
which is dirt cheap for such fine goods.
Size offers for sale 800 tickets, at 1000
francs each, and when all have been dis
posed of, engages to place herself and the
100000 francs in the hands of the lucky
dog who throws the highest number.
This lady however manages her tickets
in person, makes "lhem not transferable,
and only sells TO such applicants as she
can pleasurably contemplate in the light
of possible husband. This BIT of spec
ulatiun has an American sound, but 1t is
strictly French, assure you. Another
lady adverlses in the journals for some
benevolent gentlemen, "between the ages
of 35 and As" to come forward and marry
her daughter-"l7 years Of age, beautiful,
accomplished, possessed Of 10000 francs
per annum, and-affiicted with the 81.

would be a good chance for physician.
