NOVEL MARRIAGE.-A couple were married
by Justice Purdy yesterday, says the Detroit
Free Press, of the 26th ult., one of whom was
female, aged fifty-eight, and the other ver-
dant looking young man, of about eighteen.
He maintained and stuck to il, that he was
thirty-seven years old, and in order to make
up the deficiency, she brought her years down
10 forty-ive. The dodge did not work, and,
upon being informed that they must make
oaths to the facts, they declined, and reques-
ted to be united without any questioning. The
young fellow said he had no particular objec-
ton to telling his age, but the lady was cap
tious, and refused to divulge until she was in
formed that she must give up all hope of pos
sessing the youngster as a penalty. She said
he didn't amount to much as aman, but then
he would be handy to have around, and she
thought she might as we'll take him, as she
had more money than she knew what to do
with, and wanted somebody to spend it. The
bridegroom looked as if he might fulfil the
duty with little judicious training.

The steamship Great Eastern is being rapid
ly prepared for her trial trip across the Allan
tic, and it is expected she will be completed
in the beginning of this month, so as to ac-
company the Prince of Wales in his visit to
our continent, in July. Her proprictors hav-
ing sent word to New York city that she would
come there if it were possible to get her into
the harbor, the Board of pilots have returned
an answer that they will navigate her right
straight up to e.Gotham,'' if she does not draw
more than 26 feet of water. 1t is believed the
sKnickerbockers' will yet see the sLeviathon.'

"A fully testing large variety of sewing
chimes now before the public, my convictions
forced me to adopt the WHEELER WILSON
Machine as the best for Family, Plantation, and
general use, ever invented. Among the advantages
it possesses over every other Machine, are:
LIST. Elegance and simplicity of construction,
and consequent freedom from arrangement and
need of repairs.
ID. Durability, ease, rapidity of operation, and
noiseless movement.
Sd. Beauty of stitch, frmness of seam, and econ
omy of thread.
4th. Applicability to a variety of purposes and
materials.
5th. The "Hemmer," an attachment which no
Other Machine has.
9th. 1t will sew from one thousand to fifteen hun
bred stitches in minute, and is equal in dispatch
of work to at least
Twelve Seamstresses.
The machines, in variety of pattern and style
of fnish from the plainest to the finest parlor
melodson attachment, may be seen at my Office
give every purchaser full nstructions-guarantee
the machine, and keep it in order for one year,
free of charge, except in case of unfair usage.
The public are respectfully invited to cali and
see for themselves.

SEWING M A OH / n T. s.
yE1HEsE are the most simple, reliable, and durable
Machines ever placed before the public
The following are among the advantages claimed
for them, and which recommend them to pubic
favor.
Ist They are so simple in construction, that they
are not liable to get out of order.
2ud, They sew from the original spools-thus
saving the trouble of re- winding the thread.
ard The can be understood and operated per-
fectIy with o other instructions than those con-
tanned in tn printed directions, which accom- any
each Machine.
4th. They are substantially made, and are ca
pable of doing all kinds of family and plantation
sewing from the finest muslin to the coarsest ersey
9Th. They make the doubte-ioek elastic stiteh tie
strongest made machinery. which will not MP
though every fou. IN stitch be cut:
9th. The price is much less tha that OF any
other reliable machine, thus placing 1t within the
reach of every one in want of a Machine.
A critical and thorough examination of these
Machines is solicited, which we are confident VIII
proye them all we claim for them.
