UNUSUAL MATRIMONIAL HIsToRY-
There is married couple living in this
county whose matrimonial history is rath-
er unusual, the woman having been mar
ried four times, and yet is living with her
first husband. After sharing the couch
of her "worser half" a few years, the
wife got divorce from husband No. l,
and was married to husband No. 2. In a
little while she applied for and obtained a
divorce from husband No. 2, and was
married to husband No. g. In the course
of time she became weary OF her bond,
and was divorced from husband No. s.
Then her first love resumed its sway in
her heart, and to make amends for her
seeming waywardness, she sought out and
again met husband No. l, when they were
the second time indissolubly bound in the
tender cords of wedlock, and are now liv-
ing happily and peacefully together, with
the company of two children by their first
marriage. She was not blessed with any
offspring by either her second or third
husband SO after years of separation
from her first object of happiness, naught
now remains to remind her of the past es-
arrangement save the memory Of husbands

DAUGHTER OF KING CANUTE.-Bosh-
am church has long additionally possessed
the reputation of having been the place
wherein was buried the daughter of King
Canute. II was believed that she was
buried in front of the chancel arch, but of
the truth of this nothing certain was
known. During recent alterations in the
sacred edihce, slab of stone was Just dis.
covered below the level of the old floor
Upon this stone being removed, it was
found to have covered small stone coffin,
which, when opened, disclosed The form Of
child. The figure was three feet nine
inches in height, SO that probably the
child was not more than five years DID,
The hand had been placed by the side of
the body; the bones, although reduced to
white dust, could be very clearly traced.
The inside measurement of the coffin was
four feet three inches by fourteen and a
half in width at the breast, thirteen iuoh-
es at the head, and ten inches at the foot
No jewelry or anything of the sort was
found-probably the child was too young
to be buried with any personal ornaments
about her.

LOCAL ASSOCIATION.

Local association is an impression made
upon the deathless spirit, there to abide
forever. 1t originates in certain events
and trains of feeling which associate them
selves with a particular locality, 50 that
when we revisit such localities, or even
those which bear some resemblance, the
mind renews its past, recalls old. forms,
old scenes, Of, perhaps, happier days.
The heart conceives for certain scenes
an affection, and greets them always
with that kind of emotion with which
it regards the features of a cherished
and old friend. And though species
of melancholy often throws its sombre
shade over pictures such as these, yet it is
of a softened character, and destroys
neither our interest or our affection. -
Hence there is no spot of ground, or
dwelling house, without its hallowing
spirit. 1t is invisible to the strangers
eye, voiceless to the strangers ear, but
its presence is felt, and its message of re-
buke or reproval audible to heart which
cherishes for it local association. The
Holy Land is in no foreign country, with
out We are exiles from our native land
1t is around and within us, in those asso-
Citations which make of one dwelling or
locality the paradise of memory. Here
where you see deserted house, or a
desolate looking farm, you man sees again
the venerable form and kindly features of
father, and the memory of his gentle
forbearance. and cheerful hospitality and
thoughtful kindness rise up as he views
again his youths bright and joyous home.
Here are bare rooms, or an ordinary row
of trees--to some one they suggest holy,
happy memories of sainted mother
The world with its busy multitude and
shifting scenes has thronged in, and in a
measure silenced the heart longings after
love which had in it; "less of earth than
heaven" But this scene, dumb to you,
most elcquently speaks to heart blessed
with associations of this kind, at once so
tender and SO sacred, and the tidal wave
of other hopes and loves surges back, and
the cry, if it found utterance, would be-
"Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, dear mother, my heart calls for YOU"

A STRANGE ANIMAL The Newtown
Gazette, published in Worcester county,
Indiana, says: .'.
About fifteen miles from our borough,
in section of the county called "the
Forest" above what is known as Akin
sons Mill, there is an unnamed species of
reptile, bird or beast, which is called in
the neighborhood an adder. 1t is as
much like an adder as pig is like por-
cupine. 1t is the size of squirrel, is
formed like lizard, and generally dark
brown color. Itsprings upon approaching
objects, and its bite invariably proves ia

farmer was passing that locality with a
yoke of oxen, when one of the-"What

oxen and inflicted slight wound from
which the animal died il less that thirty
minutes.

THE CLAY STATUE.


The following poem was written by George D.
Prentice, Esq, editor Of the Louisville Journal,
and read at the inauguration of the Clay Statue
in that city, on the 3Oth day ofMay, 1867. The
writer enjoyed lifelong and intimate acquain-
lance with Mr.. Clay, and evidently wrote as be
felt
Hail true and glorious sembance, hail
Of him. the noblest of our race
We seem, at lifting of thy vail,
TO see again his living face
To hear the stirring words once more,
That like the storm-god's cadence pealed
With miehtier power from shore to shore
Than thunders ON the battlefield
Lo that calm, high, majestic look
That binds our gaze as by spell
1t is the same that erst- whie shook
The traitors on whose souls it fell
Oh that he were again in life
To wave, at once, his wand of power,
And scatter far the storms Of strife
That DER our country darkly lower
Again, again, and yet again
He rolled back PASSIONS roaring tide
When the fierce souls of hostile men
Each others widest wrath defed;
Alas alas dark storms at length
Sweep DER our halEwrecked ship of state
And there seem none with will and strength
To save her from her awful fate
But thou, majestic image, thou
Wilt in thy lofty place abide,
And many a manly head will bow
While gazing on nations pride;
And while his hallowed ashes lie
Afar beneath old Ashland's sod,
One gaze at thee should sanctify
our hearts 10 country and to GOD.
We look on thee, we look on thee,
Proud statue, glorious and sublime,
And years as if by magic fee
And leaveus in his grand old time
Oh he was born to bless our race,
As ages after ages roll
We see the image of his face =:
Earth has no image of his soul
Proud statue if the nations life,
For which he toiled through all his years.
Must vanish in our wicked strife
And leave but groans, and blood, and
tears,
If all to anarchy be given,
And ruin all our land assail
He'll turn away his eyes in heaven,
And DER thee we will cast thy vail.

THE NEEDLE GUN.-The needle gun,
which received SO many praises for its
deeds last summer, is not yet past i'm
provement. Think of a Springfield
musket in comparison with a weapon of
which somebody who has tried it says

as the first pair of skates, and so heavy
that | thought it an imposition to be
obliged to hold the whole of it myself
1t seemed enough avoirdupoise for an en-
tire platoon TO carry. There is knob
upon it as big and as hard to turn as your
door knob, when you go homo from your
lodge at Christmas midnight. You must
hit this knob with the palm of your hand,
drive it down, draw it back, put in 3onr
cartridge, and it sends the ball about half
the distance Of a Springfield rifle ball.
You bruse your hand, swear, and after a
dozen rounds have been fred the breech
of your gun feels like red hot poker
