BErRoTHALs.-Th There was in last Friday
Gazette an advertisement, the like of which
has rarely, if ever, appeared in an Eng lish pa
per. We refer to the advertisement of "Be-
trothal," which would take place at the house
OF the lady's father, where the nhigh con-
tracing parties would be happy to see their
friends. The custom is almost unknown in
America, where engagements are generally
ushort, and marriages occur before "pa and
ma" know that the tender passion exists and
isreciprocated. But in Europe, and in Ger
many particularly, the betrotha is as much
an institution as the bridal is here. When
A. .~-;~,.a A;ai 7,ltias 4hat haset lovers thara
are duly surmounted, and the 'arsIes are ready
to plight their faith, the day fl the betrothal
is set, and friends are notified of the fact
through the columns of a newspaper, gener-
ally. When the company is assembled, an
appropriate ceremony of plighting their roth
is performed by the lovers, and then an en-
tertainment is given, in which the comesta-s g,
bles and potables are usually more abundant
and more substantial than at our weddings.
Ihenceforth, till their nuptials, the lady and
Gentleman are emencpated somewhat from
the restraint imposed on social life.
traveller, describing the custom, speaks
with much tervor of the Difference which is
everywhere paid to the betrothed. Here, an
engagem ent is considered a matter which it ia
not untruthful to deny, and the engaged per-
sons are subjected to raillery--as if TO marry
were foolish, and to promise to do so a theme
tor mirth, The traveller referred to found
that there was shown to the betrothed a gem
erai forbearanee and deicacy of consideration
which rendered it possible for the lady and
gentleman to exchange and indulge in those
little attentions to each other which are the
life Of what we call courtship, which would
be possible and natural in the sOeietv ~
Shakspeare's heroes and heroines, but in our
own American society, would be regarded as
indicating a foolish head and a veryssoft
heart.
For many reasons, we should like to see
the German betrothal become an institution
among us. Who knows but that it may be
transplanted to the Western world, and ladies'
seize the morning papers to end who is be- 4
trothed, with as much eagerness as they now
do to read the list of marriages rnd deaths.---

INTERESTING REsEARcH.-"W ilse" d
Co. are now investigating grave subject
we are at loss whether to call it sci
entific, metaphysical. spiritual, or what
guess we'll call it ,ckat-for the solu-
ton of which the whole world is looking
with the most intense anxiety. The ques-
ton is: "Can Curses pierce the clouds,
anG enter Heaven ?" Being extensive
operators in the "cursing" business, they
are interested in knowing where the
Courses go to. When the old Alche-
mists were experimenting to discover the
"Gold Stone" they stumbled upon many
important discoveries, which would 9th
erwise never have been dreamed of. So
our searchers after knowledge have, in
their profound investigations, begun to
enlighten mankind upon some matters
not relevant to the subject in hand. The
only important development thus far is,
that "Wilse" d Co. have, sometime
during their life, CHANGED to hear some
itinerant theatre "supe" attempt to play
Richard the Third" and having re-
membered some Of the expressions, they
now pompously talk of "those who are
familiar with the writings of sShak-
speare! Haw haw! haw!
But their researches are doomed to
meet the fate of the Gold Stone of the
Alchemists. They will never find out
whether curses can enter Heaven or not,
for they can never go there to see!

The KANSAS WAR.-The war in Sou
thern Kansas seems TO have broken out
with as much violence as ever before. A
large gang of Rufians under' one DR..
Hamilton, have been devastating large
scope of country. and numbering off the
settlers. They pretend to be IN pursuit
of Montgomery's band; but they have
been capturing peaceable, unoffending cit
liens, of every age and condition, and
without giving them trial, or assigning
a reason, have shot them down like dogs
When holly pursued, they cross over
into Missouri. Gov. Stewards militia
are on the border, and when the Rufians
get within the bounds Of that State, they
are protected. They swear that no crops
shall be raised in Linn County, this year.
No doubt this is but a prelude to the vote
in August. Cannot something be done
to crush these Rufians =?

WHAr FooIIsHxrss I'VE understand

WHAT ROBUSTNESS We understand
that there is considerable feeling among
some persons, in regard to the Ferry
Boats at this place and Iowa Point
Some are offering to bet that this one IS
the best, or that one can run the fastest,
&C., and several quarrels have almost
grown out of the matter. A Circus was
expected to come up on this side OF the
river, last week, to cross over to Oregon.
We understand that it was rumored down
below, that word had been sent out from
White Cloud, that the road from Iowa
Point to Oregon was impossible, and the
Circus would have to cross here; and
that, the people Of Iowa Point, hearing
of this, had stationed men along the route
to contradict the report. and offer to ferry
them at the Point free Of charge, before
they should come here. Now, no such
word was ever sent from White Cloud
and whether runners were sent from Iowa
Point or not, we cannot say. But this
feeling about ferry boats is perfect folly.
Our boat is large. good, and fast enough
to accommodate the public at this point,
and we have no doubt that the boat at
Iowa Point gives entire satisfaction there.
We had hoped that the time was past.
when every simple circumstance would
be seized upon, to create rivalry, bicker-
ing and jealousy. between the two places.
What good it can ever do, we are unable
to divine.
