and afterward, with impressive display, at one of
the Roman Catholic cathedrals. This golden we'd

severe illness of the bridegroom, well to await
the arrival of one hundred thousand dollar bridal

sister to her prospective sster-in-law. So brilliant

LOVE AND PoLITICs.-During the Fremont cam
paign our democratic friends severe on us
| Republicans, because a certain Jealous church in
Kent county had dismissed from its communi II a
member who avOwed his determination to vote for
James Buchanan for President. Certainly, that
church would now stand vindicated before the
| country But we now have case of partizan zeal
which fairly equals the above A staunch old bred
! Scott Locotoco, of Eaton county, as we learn from
the Republican, has sensible daughter, who has for
some time Deen cOufteQ Dy Republican lover, and
as the upshot of it, had concluded to marry. This
cOnsummation the parental Democrat decidedly
opposed. Being questioned he freely avowed that
his great objection to the daughters lover, that
he was ga Black Republican" But love laughs at
| impediments. The mutual attention of the young
people continued. few days since the daughter
was riding out in a carriage in company with her
father, when the subject of the proposed marriage
came up, and he asked her if she intended to per-
sist in her determination of marrying the Repubi-
can youth. She replied that they intended to get
married the coming fall, when he requested her to
get out of the carriage, and demanded her bonnet
and shawl. She complied with both requests, and
| found lodgings at a neighbours house. The young
man, learning how matters stood, was soon on hand,
and like gallant lover, provided for the dis
| carded daughter husbands home We should not
be surprised to hear that the young couple brought
old pdter;f aniltds around all right and that he
voted for the Republican candidate in lS80.-Detroi

The BosToN BooK-TRADE SALE-Judging from
what we learn from members of the book trade we
are happy to say that the coming trade sale, to be
holden on the I'd of August promises to be equally
successful with the sales that have Just closed in
our city. From all quarters of the country, south
and west come positive assurances of large at
tendance of the trade. The catalogue is yery
large, embracing contributions from all the pub
fishing houses in New York. Philadelphia and Bos-
ton. There two principal features in this sale
TO which we would particularly call the attention
contributions. They are arranged that each
contributor is obliged to put in VIII at he intends to
| sell. No duplicating is allowed. This has had the
effect of bringing large invoices, which, of course
gives to large purchasers a decided advantage over
what they enjoyed under the old rules. The second
is, the sale is to be holden in August one month
sooner than usual thus giving to distant purchasers
an opportunity of obtaining their goods in season
for their fall trade To New England purchasers
although they may be obliged to hold their stock 20
or 80 days, still the additional saving of freight and
travelling expenses will more than compensa se for
! tins drawback. We are glad that the city govern
nent have voted an appropriation for excursion
! to the whole trade down the harbor general
spirit of hospitality and liberality seems to charac-
| terize the whole management of the sale, and we
confidently look for larger gathering of the trade
on the "a OF August next than has been witnessed
| for a long time.

been presented for the construction of new canal
