CRANES PATENT METALLIC
BURIAL CASKET.

TIME subscribers have become the owners
u o. the right of this newly invented
g Burial Cdsket" for the county Of Yazoo.
The Casket is fashioned to accord with the
feelings of the bereaved, aud yet retains all
the requisites of an appropriate receptacle for
the dead
Whatever tends to soften or make less keen
the pognancy of our grief, commends itself
to our considerations So much that is repnl-
sve has been discarded in the arrangement and
shape of the above case, that its name, the
''Caskel Burial Case" is an involuntary sug-
gestion. We do not hesitate to aver that
there has never been in use anything so entire
ly chaste, appropriate, and, withal, so conye-
nient as this invention.
The Casket is perfectly air-tighL composed
Of metal, and will last for ages.
Os- We have now supply of the Casket
on hand, aud respectfully invite our friends tC
call and examine them.
COFFlNS will be made for those who prefer
them. Orders attended to at all hours, whethe
by day or night, or Sunday.

Some years ago, a tall, gaunt knock kneed,
red-headed, cross eyed Hoosier, who was a
hunter of the classical Wabash, conceived
the idea of making visit to the home Of
bis progeniture to old Kaintuck. He did so

was, OF course, from his native impudencr
aad unearthly ugliness, the observed of all
observers. One morning, the whole neigh.
borhood was astonished with the news that
the unearthy hoosier had eIoped with Mrs.
B., an amiabIe, good-looking woman, wife Of
Mr.. B., and mother of half dozen little BIS.
For two long years the disconsolate husband
mourned over bis untowald bereavement
at the end of that period, however, to his
utter astonshment one day, in popped Mrs
b., looking as bright and rosy as ever. At
Ter the first joyful greeting was over, the
injured B. thus addressed his truant spouse
" Nancy, how could you take up with that

and the children all forlorn, as you did p

critIer from lndiany was little the best

incident, which occurred at the recent fair
in Lyuchburg, Virginia:
An incident somewhat remarkable now
occurred, which amazed, while it extensively
tickled, the risibles of several hundred spec.
tators. A silver cup, worth twenty dollars.
had been purchased by number Of gentle,
men, having the reputation of being great
admirers of uginess, to present to the ugli
est man on the ground, and the news Of the
anticipated event had travelled far and wide.
1t was while in the midst of the crowd un.
deInea;h he musicians stand, that Mr., P,
the " committee of one appointed to make
the presentation, WAS buntly accosted BY
one OF the hardest customers that could be
raked up, perhaps, between this and Pelo,

to see you-l watt the cup" "But you are
too good looking" "Show me another
man as beats me. and gin up" 9" Let me
try you, sir, look your ugliest." The ugly
man gave one or two physognomic grimaces
that threw the whole mass into roar. when
Mr.. Phelps, the very picture of Momus him
self, acknowledged his merits and delivered
the prize, with the parting query, What is
your name" Rucker," was the reply.

MARRIAGE OF KINDRED "A bill has pass
