MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFIcULTIEs.-AIis
Virginia Burlington, young lady of Pittsburg
a member of the Episcopal church, and daugh-
ter Of prominent physician, was engaged to
be married to a Mr.. Reel Of st. Louis, rigid
Catholic 1t was arranged that the marriage
should take piece ON Thursday evening last,
and IN order to show respect to the preiudices
OF the bridegroom, the knot was first to be tied
by an Episcopal clergyman, and aiterward
drawn still tighter by priest of the mother
church. Cards of invitation were accordingly
issued, and at an early hour the streets adloin.
ing Trinity (Episcopal) Church were filed
with perflmed and gaiIy dressed crowd. The
doors OF the sacred edfice, however, remained
obstinatey closed, and the invited throng fl.
nally becoming tired of delay, dispatched a
messenger to the house of the bride, 10 inauire
II either party had backed out, or any other
terrible misfortune occurred. 1t was found
that the bridegro0m's mother, on learning the
proposed order of exercises, was greatly dis
satisfied, and insisted on the ceremony being
nrst performed according to Catholic usage
flnulng 1t impossible to shake her purpose,
the parties were finally married as she desired
On hearing Of this the Episcopal minister, Dr.
Lyman, thought one marrying was enough,
ana declined performing any unnecessary la

the guests disappointed but, as Pittsburgh

MARVELLOUS Discovery IN PHoroGRAPHY.
NJ L. Scott Of London has made singular
discovery by means of which sounds may be
made to record themselves, whether these
sounds are those of musical instruments, or
emitted by the voice in singing or speaking.
Prof Wheatstone, during his recent visit to
Paris, was invited by the Able Moigno to in
spect the papers on which these sounds had
printed themselves, and is said to have been
greatly surprised and pleased with what he
saw. The mark produced on the paper by a
particular note is invariably the same so, al
so, if person speaks, the tone of voice in
which he speaks is faithfully recorded As
yet no practical advantage has been obtained
by this discovery but Mr.. Scott is sanguine
that, in course of time, he will so far improve
his apparatus that it will be capable of printing
a speech, which may be written off Uer6atim, to
the great saving of labor of Parliamentary re-
porters.-London Photographic Neps.

WHAT THE WAR IS ABOUT.

In the war now begun in Europe, Austria
the earned apostle of absolutism and ultra
montana priestcraft," as the London Times
calls her, seeks to crush out the Constitutional
government of Sardinia. Louis Napoleon says
this shall not be done, and sends troops to
drive back the assaiants. The liberal govern
ment thus threatened is the only remaining
fruit of the revolutionary movement of 1848.
1t is now, with Count Cavour at the head of
affairs, the hope OF Italian patriots, and the
object of special hate to Austrian absoutsm
and priestcraft, the one longing to roast Count
Cavour, and the other to give him violent
death or drive him out of Italy
The present war is something more than
strife between ambitious sovereigns. 1t in
wolves the irrepressible struggle between alb
solutism and the tendency of Europe to po-
lilical freedom. The London Times, aiming
to show that England should be as neutral and
indifferent as possible, describes it as "a strug-
gle between two despots, one of whom repre-
sents the principle of absolute power and
priestly dominion, and the other the despotism
delegated by pure democracy" This is not
bad statement of the case, but it signifies more,
probably, than the Times intended. Even a
despotism delegated by pure democracy
could not easily take the Austrian side on this
Italian question. AT any rate, the principle of
elective affinity would more naturally draw it
to the other side, The French Emperor is act
ing in accordance with the sympathy of the
French people.
The London Times, and all other spokes-
men of that school, should remember, that,
heretofore, Great Britain has done quite as
much as any other power in Europe to compel
French democracy to organize itself as a mill
tary despotism If the first French Revolu-
ton became bloody with terrible purpose to
'exterminate aristocrats, and finally resulted
in Napoleon Bonaparte and the empire, this
was Chiefly because all the royal dynasties,
driven on by their affrghted scoundrelism,
took arms against it, the English being fore
most In selfdefence it became an embattled
army; and, is it surprising that the French
people now forget the faults of Napoleon and
remember only what he did against the Gene
mics of France?
Louis Napoleon does not act in this case
without ambitious purposes of lis own. He
knows very well that his defence of Sardinia
will give him better hold on popular favor in
England and France as well as Italy; and he
doubtless hopes to make French influence par
amount among the Italians. But his success
will weaken the most benighted and obstinate
despotism in Europe, and place Italian affairs
in the hands of liberal men. 1t will give the
liberal movement great impulse, and do
something to prepare Italy and Central Europe
for better condition in the future Louis Ma
poleon is doing what England has often been
invited to do, what her people have wished to
do, what she has frequently promised to do,
but what she has never had the courage to
undertake in earnest. She has sometimes de-
ceived and betrayed the liberal movement.
Louis Napoleon can not do worse.

was done to the train.

Whereas on sundry boughs and sprays
Now divers birds are heard to sing;
And sundry flowers their heads upraise-
Hail to the coming on of SPRING
The songs of the said birds arouse
The memory of our youthful hours,
As young and green as the said boughs,
As fresh and fair as the said flowers.
The birds aforesaid, happy pairs!
Love midst the aforesaid boughs enshrines
in household nests, themselves, their heirs,
Administrators, and assigns.
o busiest term of Cupid's court!
What tender plaintiffs actions bring!
Season of frolic and of sport,
Hail, as aforesaid, coming Spring!

10 The death of Mr.. Thomas Boyce, for
merly of Worcester County, in Chenango
County, N. Y, at the advanced age of SO
years, was noticed in the Spy of Saturday.
He belonged to that branch of Scotch-Irish i'm
migrants who, early in the last century, settled
in Worcester, and many of whose descend
ants now occupy that portion of the town of
Rutland called Dublin" They suffered much
from the unreasonable and wicked prejudices
of their neighbors. A church which they at
tempted to build, of the Presbyterian faith,
was destroyed at night by tumultuous mob
in which, says Lincoln's History of Worces-
ter, persons of consideration and respectable
ity" took u leading part. A portion of them,
driven away by prosecutors, founded the town
of Pelham, in Hampshire County, the rest
conquered the jealousy with which they were
at first regarded, by the influence Of their sim.
pie virtues and sterling worth.
Mr.. Boyce left Worcester County nearly
half a century ago, yet many of our older cit
liens still remember the family as they were
at the time when all within a circuit Of twenty
miles were regarded as neighbors.

IMPORTANT LAW SUIT.-At the April term
of the Supreme Court sitting in Essex county,
the important action of Obadiah Kimball VS..
VIM. H. Comstock of Milford was decided in
favor of the defendant. The case excited great
interest, from the fact that the parties are
largely connected with the shoe and leather
trade in Massachusetts,. 1t was alleged that
Comstock entered into conspiracy with Den
mis- Eames, also engaged in the trade, and a
debtor to Comstock to the amount of $4,000,
by which Eames was to go into the market
procure stock upon credit, and manufacture il
into boots, which he was to assign to Comstock
in payment of the debt that upon the repre-
sensations of Comstock the plaintiff sold tc
the benefit of Comstock that Eames subse
quently failing and the creditors receiving but
fraction Of their claims, Comstock was re
| sponsible to the amount of the plaintiffs loss
| The charges were not sustained
1t appears from the Milford journal, that
soon after the failure of Eames, his creditors
through his assignee, commenced an extraor
binary course of persecution against Comstocl
at the expense of the Eames estate. Fivt
suits were instituted against him, two in Suffoll
and three in Essex county,by the excited cred
itorS. This case was first tried in Salem il
November last, when the jury disagreed, stand
ing eleven for Comstock and one for plaintiff
Some of the creditors became frightened ant
proposed a compromise, which was denied b.
Comstock on the ground that he could yielt
nothing which affected his character for bust
ness integrity and moral worth. The secont
trial has resulted in his complete vindicaton
and restores him to the confidence and respec
of the business community.
