announcement that have to make thi,
morning is contained in the following notice
to.wit:
MAnRrED.-In Gibsonville, Jan. 14th, by
AloerC JACKS Esq, Levi Day to Miss Mary
Anderson.
Now don'tconsder that a wedding is such
wonderful affair in more civilized sections
oil this globe; but here in this male p,euailino
district, where there is now but one solitary
unmarried lady. it is certainly matter
worthy of note. Besides your humble cor
respondent had the pleasure of seeing the
knot tied to say nothing of the manly style
in which he withstood the storm of cake and
fun which followed its contamination Thot
the happy couple may live long life of un-
"loyed happiness; and Day after Day dawn
upon them, whose sun shall know no setting.
is the wish of the writer. Permit me TO relate
little anecdote which actually transpired
Christmas eve on Hopkins. Creek, about eight
miles from this place. 1t so happened that
good man and his spouse, of that neighbour
hood, concluded that they would celebrate
that time honored night in becoming stvle
and accordingly purchased bottle of old rye
The thing came, but being prepared to
kin at greater distance than they had bar
gained for, the happy couple soon found
themselves dead-drunk and while in that
condition neighbor happened in, and of
course was Mortified He saw that the hus.
band was alive, butahe was too drunk to ex-
plain how they came to be in that Ridiculous
Predlcament. lie examined the woman
she was cold, pulseless and apparently life
less. Her eyes and nose were discolored
from bruises: he could not see her breathe
there was no outward manifestation of life.
lie had it. The husband had murdered his
wife and then taken poison himself What
was to be done? Notify the neighbors and
have the murderer arrested, of conrse The,
rumor was duly given. In twenty minutes
every man on the creek was around some
with guns, some with pistols, some with
dirks, some with spikes, in fnct every avail
abl means of warfare were brought into re-
QUESTION, with brave determination to can
ture that innocent, defenceless, motionless
man of flesh, or die in the holy cause. But
iol upon their arrival, the "voman vat yosen't
murdered was vomiting vreely;" and un-
mistakable evidence of the true canse of tn.
dilemma was visible to a disgusting extent
and the brave soldiers quietly retired from
the field without SO much as having reaped
single honor.
A mass meeting was held in this town last
night, the object of which was to obtain an
expression of the people on the Alturas oues.

The Missouri Democrat is informed that it
is becoming quite common practice for
letter writer's in California to send letters,
destined to ports east ofSt Louis, under Gov
er to parties in the last named city, to be
placed in the St. Louis post Office. By this
means they save four cents postage on each
letter of half onnce. This practice, it is
claimed by the post Office authorities as q
fraud on the Government. The postage be-
tween New York and San Francisco is ten
cents, and if letters posted twice can be sent
for six cents, how much better it would be
if the postage was equal and uniform thro'-
out-say three cents between all points in
the U. S. or Territories

STEAM WAGoN.-The San Jose Reporter
says:
BY invitation of Mr.. Laird, we went round
to the City Hall yesterday, for the purpose of
examining the working model of Overton's
steam wagon, which is now on exhibition ut
the Hail.
Of all the contrivances for locomotion
which we ever saw, that takes the lead The
model is simply small wagon with the min
iature steam engine and propelers attached.
The engine and boiler together are not much
larger than mans hat, and yet the little
thing hauled couple of boys around the
Hall with the greatest ease
1t is impossible for us to give anything
like a satisfactory description of this wonder
full invention. Suffice it to say, that the
steam wagon will go. and as it is on exhibi-
ton, the skeptical can be convinced by going
to see it.

AN AMERICAN SENTENCED TO PENAL SERvI-
ruDE ron LIFE.--A London correspondent Of
an exchange, writing December 9th, says:
In some of my letters of September last, l
mentioned the case of the second mate of the
ship Mary, from Portland, Me-, who had
killed a seaman on board the above ship in
the Northumberland docks at Newcastle
The trial came on at the Northern Circuit. on
wednesday. John Watson Moody, the pri
soner. 10 described as tall, powerful young
man of u. a native American, as was also
the man who met his death. 1t was clear
ly proved that Moody had practiced a long
course of cruelty on the deceased, Danie
Witham, and placed beyond dispute that he
had finished that course of cruelty by delib-
erately smashing his skull with an iron bar
Moody treated the matter very lightly at the
opening of the trial, but he was soon made
aware that the matter was taking serious
turn. lie has managed to save bis neck
and that is all, for he received sentence o
penal servitude for life-slavery in fact, an(
slavery of the very worst and irksome nature
In short, he may live to entertain very
strong wish indeed, that hanging had beer
his sentence, but on the conviction for man
slaughter, only, this favor could not be ac-
corded to him.

of encouraging American emigration to set
tie on the Yaqui river, where he will grant
them lands. The Yaqui river lands are said
to be of great extent, and the best in the
