"weIl wait and quite hopefully,
How such match will speed
When lady changes her name by mat
rimonial alliance, she naturally looks upon 1t
as an event of great importance 10 her, and
although it is a step not TO be retraced, she
awaits with much interest the comments
friendly or unfriendly, proceeding from good
will from envy, or from any other cause
which the little world of her acquaintance see
proper 10 pass upon the "malch." The vir-
tues and the failings OF both parties are crit
ically scanned, and free interchange OF SEN
tment-to say nothing ofklnd, hearty wishes,
piquant Jokes, stale witticiSms, with spice
or two of scandal-are INDUCED. Somewhat
similar, we confess, are our feelings, al the
end of one month, in perusing divers public
verdicts upon the addition Of "USIoN COUNTY
SrAR" to our former heading, "LEwIsnuRG
CsHoxIcLE" 1t has aflordedu US, individually,
much amusement TO observe how rdritd have
been those comments-how erroneous the as
sertions of some-and how Numerically op-
Josife are the judgments different editors have
pronounced on the same point. We might
perhaps attribute not the most liberal feelings
10 some, who stand as rivals; but we prefer
to let such scrutiny OF motiues pass, and to let
our readers enjoy, with ourselves, dozen of
the notices-wUrsi and best-lhat lie before
us. L. G.:
