The Most Remarkable Swindlo ON Re-
cord.
from the osweso (New York, pa,laaiuu.l

Yesterday O rural looking lady and gentle
man, of Sterling, Cayuga County, called upon
one of the justices Of the peace and expressed
O wish to be married. The pair were made man
and wife. This NOR ing they rolppeared, and
each in turn desired that the proceedings
might be annulled. TIE Lady was particularly
urgent. She charged that she had been en-
trapped into marrying the man WHO stood be-
side her by \ piece of unparalleled deception.
She had been corresponding with her cousin
in Iowa, whom she had not seen since she was
child, and during the correspondent ce her
relntive had woed and won her affections.
He wrote her that he was coming on
here in December to claim her hand and take
her to his home in tn West. On Monday Inst
the swain to whom she was married made his
appearance, claimed to bo her cousin, said he
could not wait until December, &c. On tho
strength Of these representations, she had re-
luctantly consented to wed. She had since
learned that the man whom she had married
was not her cousin but q wretch who had Sc
cured O wife by base deception. The man ac-
knowledgsd his culpability, but pleaded in ex-
ten1lation that the Iowa cousin had read hin
the letters 0f his intended; that these had lnhu-
encsd him to do as he had done. His con-
science smote him 80 grieyously since the ac-
compGshment OF his treachery that he made o

The Dry Dock, which, after several tria

The Dry Dock, which, after several trials,
was recently launched in England, is said to
be the largest machine Of the kind ever con;
structed. Its length is three hundred and
eighty-one feet over all; breadth one hundred
and twenty-three feet, and height seyenty-four
feet. It is called the Beiierophon dock, be-
cause it could receive the Bellerophon iron
clad on board for repairs; and, supposing that
vessel to be so placed, the floating dock would
draw fifty feet OF water. Between its outer
and inner walls is space Of twenty feet, which
is perfect labyrinth of ribs, stiffensrs, grid
ers, &c. The launching weight Of the whole
structure is considerably over nino thousand
tested iron plates, held together by three mil
lions ofrtvets. This dock is to be dispatched
to it's destination entirely completed and ready
for use. 1t ls intended to be used at the Eng
lish Navy Yard, at Bermuda, where at present
there are no means for repairing iron vessels.
It is to be towed across the Atlantic by FIVE
tugS, but will not start until next summer.

Tho P.ragu.yan War-How Humnita
was Taken.

We copy the following succinct and compre-
hensiv4 statement OF the lateBt intelligence of
the conflict between the brave and indomitable
Paraguayans and their adversarics, the allies,
who have not &c all commended themselves to
the world by the manner OF their war upon
nation so much their inferior in numbers:
The details of recent operations on the
Parana River show that the Paraguay ans were
not driven from the powerful fortidcations Of
Humaita but abandoned them for new and
still more powerful line Of defensive works near
the mouth of the Tibicuari Rlver. Before re-
5iring, however, Lopez inflicted !. most murder
ous repulse upon the allies. Marshal Ca1ias
discovered, on the 25th Of July, that the gar
rison were preparing to leave, and he accord
ingly dispatched heavy force to intercept
them.
/. The Paraguayans kept perfectly quiet until
the allies had got within almost gunshot
range, when they opened most sweeping and
destructive fire of grape and canister, which
swept down entire regiments of the advancing
columns, and sent the survivors fleeing back in
confusion and dismay to their lines. Caxias
did not attempt second time to iutc;rro
with Lopezs plans. The latter withdrew, and
on the 25th the allies occupied lIumaita, find
ing two hundred canIun spiked or rendered
useless, and about dvz-n wounded soldiers
a few days before, the Paraguayans PERFORM
cd one Of those daring feats which have dis
tinguished them in their memorable defence
and elected the ap. lause of the world Three
hundred brave fellows pushed boldly out into
the river in open canoes, and boarded and cap
tured, il the face OF terrific fire OF small
arms, two of the Brazilian iron-clads. They
held them for some hours, but were finally
compelled to relinquish them, owing to the
severity Of an artillery FIRE opened upon them
from Fort Taye. During the time of possess
ion they kept the surviving crews of both iron
olads locked up in the matches, whittier they
had driven them.
Later advices from London state that the
allied army was on the march to lay siege to
Lopez's new iue of defence in conjunction with
the feet. It is probable, however, that the
plucky Paraguayan commander has made pre-
parations to meet them. The whole conduct of
his soldiers thus far proves Enthusiastically that
they partale of ali his valor and determination,
and do not look upon him as o "tyrnnt." The
occupation OF Humaita has occasioned much
rejoicing through Brazil, the Argentine Repub-
lie aud Uruguay, though with 1t are mingled
clamors for the removal Of Caxias because OF
the previous disastrous assault.
