The tin mines of Cornwall, in Eng

The New York Times says that Major
General Terry intends to start on the
Sth OF September next to make a recon
noissance OF the new department he is
to command. His department includes
Minnesota. the eastern part of Dacotah
and part of Montana, his headouar
ters being at Fort Smelling, near St. Paul,
Minnesota. Between Forts Rice and
Smelling, he will establish military posts
for the protection of a contemplated
wagon-road which General Sherman is
anxious to push through to Montana.
He expects to be absent two or three
years, and his mother and two of his sis
tiers will probably join him this fan at
his new headquarters at Fort Smelling

DuelIiny I'm the Bots de BOuIosne.

PARIS, May lO.-While bclligcrcnt move
mcnts on grand scale are the order of the
day, duclling was nc"er more in vogue.
The Bots de Boulognc is the scene of one
OF these hostile rencontres almost every
day of the week, most of them being be
tween the young officers stationed at the
different caserncs in Paris. Having little
or nothing to do, presume they resort to
an occasional feat of arms as paStlmc.
Last week one of these affairs terminated
most tragically. One ofthe gentlemen was
run through and killed instantly, the other
wounded mott lily, and the doctor, friend
of the parties, while leaving the field was
thrown from his carriage and impailed upon
an iron railing. He was taken up dead.

this occasion. Dressed in the purest white,
emblematic Of her spotlcss character, with
no ornaments save those supplied 10y ma
ture, she walked in with the bridal party
and took the seats prepared for them.
After a short season of silence, the bride
and groom, with their walters, rise to their
feet, and the gentleman, in clear and DIS
tinct voice, repeats the vow which Is pre-
scrbcd by the discipline: SIN the pre-
scnce of the Lord and before this assem-
blv take L. J. to be my wife, promising,
with divine assistance, to be unto her a
loving and faithful husband until death
shall separate u.s." And Immediately iol-
lowing him, the lady, in n soft aud tremu-
lous voice, but still loud enough to be au-
diblc TO all within the room, repeated her
norton of the vow: In the presence of
The Lord and before this assembly take
". b. to be my husband, promising, with
divine assistance, to be unto him loving
and faithful wife until death shall separate
u.s." This was followed by signing the
marriage certificate by the newly married
couple, and large number of those pre-
sent, nearly one hundred, as witnesses.
The marriage ceremony was now compile
ted, these twain have been made one, and
the company dispersed over the different
rooms to enjoy as best suits their fancy.

The Amador California; Ledger tells the
subioined: GA short time ago widow
lady, residing in a village not a thousand
miles from here, put her house up at a rai-
fie, and very soon disposed of the tickets,
all feeling disposed to assist her. The eve
ming arrived for the rattle TO come off, and
the house was won by a gentleman who
thought himself fortunate in obtaining
homestead SO cheap. The next day he APP
piled for possession and title to the pro-
perty. What was his surprise when he was
coolly informed that it was unnecessary to
give any written title to the house-that
there it was, and to take it, and the sooner
the better, as she was anxious to build
another on the spot where it stood. The
winner discovered that he had drawn an
elephant-he had house, but no lot"
