Tne year which draws 10 . close tonight
has been fraught with much o: joy and
sorrsw. To every one in his CT her allot-
ted place has come portion Of the sunshiss
Of life, and the bitterness Of darker
hours. But the pertentious events which
have 6llsd % the brim the numbered days
Of '6s, With iss wars and ramors Of war,
and exciting times, have not in the least
affected our ysuns men and maidsns on
the matrimonial issues Of the day. Whsth.
Or it was because tie good ysar '66 was
Leap Year or not, We cannot say, but this
truth 10 manifest, That more souls have
been made one during the past year, than
any preceding one on record in this county.
1t is vsxed question. and hard to account
for. So it will pessibly b, safe on general
principals to attribute this increase Of hu-
man felicity to the old time, witch
cry Of girls with god brown, fow-
ing hair and other celors, and their mag
netic influence on the nerves Of = suscept-
ible young man, whsn they save him all
the trouble Of undergoing the terrible or>
deal Of popping the question, BY taking the
matter in hand themsslvss. IL has always
been 90, this inability Of msn to resist the
fascination Of bright eyes, and ws suppose
it will continue the same to the end Of the
chapter. Those who have drawn prizes in
this grand lottery. are Of course, satis6ed,
and ~ natsral consequence, those crumbs
blers, who did not invest, can't be made
to believe in the happiness Of the securely
made happy couples. There have been
