An UNUSUAL MATRIMONIAL .HIsroRY.-
There is married couple living in this
county whose matrimonial history is rather
unusual, the woman having been married
four times, and yet is living with her first
husband. After sharing the couch of her
first worser half" a few years, the wife
got divorce from husband No |, and was
married to husband No. ,. In little while
she applied for and obtained divorce from
husband No. ,, and was married to husband
No. 3. In the course of time she became
weary of her bonds and was divorced from
husband No 3. 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. |. when they
were the second time indissolubly bound up
in the tender cords of wedlock, and are now
living happily and peacefully together, witt
the company of two children by their frs
marriage. She was not blessed with any
offspring by either her second or third hus
band so after years of separation from hel
first object of happiness. naught now remains
to remind her of the past eStrangement save
the memory of husbands Nos 2 and 3.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the selfstyled doctors.
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, trade: men and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tnsmiths, shoemakcrS,
newspaper carriers intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1863. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are DR..

calling as though she had lost calf. At
three O'Clock in the afternoon the COW came
back, but appeared very restless, walking
about and lowing continuously. Presently
she was heard to lay down, when everything
became quiet. The woodsmen, having their
curiosity excited by the cows strange con-
duct, stopped their work and went to where
the cow was last heard. Imagine their sur

greasy looking snake, at the same time fondly
licking it with her tongue. The cow was
made to get up. and as she walked away,
the snake followed after her. 1t was spe

Opinion Against the Jurors Oath in
Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. s.-A few days ago
Judge Moody, of the St. Louis Circuit
Court, delivered an opinion that the
oath prescribed by the State Constitu-
ton, as a qualification for jurors, was
void, especially so since the decision of
the United States Supreme Court in the
Cummings case, and that he should not
require persons summoned in his Court
as Jurors to take it.
Yesterday Mr.. Jerritt, 4 member of
the Judiciary committee of the Missouri
House of Representatives., introduced u
resolution citing the decision of Judge
Moody, and asking the Judiciary COM
mittee to inquire if said decision was
delivered in open court, and whether
the Judge allowed jurors to serve with
ont taking the oath, and if so whether
such action would justify proceedings
for redress or impeachment. If the
committee find cause they are instruct
ed to report charges and specifications
in the case.
