Avoiding that didn't Come Of.

TIE Pittsburg Chronicle is responsible for
the following, which we doubt not is literal
ly true-at least it is laughabIe and well
told:
A rather rich affair occurred in East Liber-
ty the other night, TOR the particulars of
which we were indebted to friend. It ap-
pears that ''tulled" individual, named
Smith, being srnitten with the dusky charms
of female acquaintance, proposed for her
hand, and his suit having been accepted, the
day was named, and every thing arranged to
make the twain one. Accordingly, one night
last week the parties, accompanied by sever
al friends, presented themselves at the house
of their preacher to be married, and every
thing was progressing pleasantly until the
preacher put the usual question whether
there were any present who had aught to
say against the union of the pair? A pause
followed, which was soon broken, however,
by a big colored fellow responding from
among the spectators:
Eyes sab, Use objections to urge TO dis
here marriage proceedin' turder."
As soon as the excitement which the in
terruption produced had subsided, the BRIDE
groom looking daggers at the intruder, invit-
ed him. if he had any jectious to make to
spit 'em out, / guess you can't prove pothin'
agin me no how" s.-..-.. t...-s nj
The other drawing himself up to his full
height, replied with solemn dignity. "1Ir.
Smith, ,Tse come up here all de way from
Oakland, to stop dis marriage. You know,
sab, you have vile in the Shenando Val
ley, and that the poor woman lubs you to
def Mr.. Smith Use sha1ned OBJ youl your
conduct is disgraeeful." ia-t 80 taa-
"Mr Smith" asked the preacher, P'yhat
have you to say to this ?" 5r- -r-r. .r.

-, NORWICH, March 2, 1865.
Mr. D. D. Home gave reading in Nor
wich on Tuesday evening, to an audience
composed of the elite Ct the city He was
highly praised at the conclusion, and receiv-
ed a very complimentary notice from the ed
itor of the Bulletin the next morning. Dur
ing the reading of the poem son the shores
Of Tennessee" Mr. Home was visibIy i'm
pressed with the spiritual influence, and at
the. conclusion oil. the verse. where. the old
soldier dies, a loud knock was heard upon
the stage. A gentleman of veraoity, and not
aspiritualist, informs US that at this moment
he saw upon the stage beside Mr.. Home the
forms Of two females, one very distinct and
the other shadowy. Were it not that we
are acquainted with the gentleman and know
that he is to berelied upon, we should be in
clined to doubt the truth of his statement
We had an opportunity Of seeing some of the
wonderful manifestations which have render
ed Mr. Home world renowned, at a private
seance gwen at the residence of one ofthe cit
liens ofthis place. A circle Of six, the me-
dium making the seventh, was ranged around
the table, a earcil lamp shedding a subdued
light over the room. The party joined in
singing, during which the raps commenced
to come upon the table and around the room,
these were followed by violent jarring Of
the whole furniture of the room, more espec-
ially of the table and chairs used by the cir
Gle. Gusts of cold or would at times sweep
around the table, though all the doors and
windows were closed, and the room well
heated by steam. e.
An accordion being held under the table
by one Of the circle, the unseen powers were
asked to play upon it, which they DID, giving
any tune which was asked for. One air was
especially beautiful, being followed by echoes
so faint and soft as to be just percephble.-
During the time the instrument was playing,
the party were at perfect liberty to look un-
der The table, and could see it playing and
the KEYS moving. Mr. Home was next en-.
tranced, curing which time he gave some of
the circle good advice He also walked
about the room and ball with ease, placing
things in their proper position, although bis
eyes were closely bIindtOlded. After he was
released from that state, the members of the
circle were all touched by hand, which was
distinctly seen three times above the table
The ACCORDION wac taken from the hand of
the gentleman holding it and placed upon the.
floor some distance of again and again were
the touches repeated, when suddenly .he

Of Dr. StrTckland's Anti-Cholera Mixture eff

Another says he was discharged from the
United States service after suffering in the
hospital for months as iucurable, and as a
last resource tried Striekland's Anti-Cholera
Mixture he got well directly and has now en-
tered the army again in good health. One
man writes be has cured. seven or eight FerT

valuable medicine. In fact we Codiddllhalf

to be supplied with it. Il is but a short time
since one of our men laid in a very low con-
