| 4 NOVEL PLAN.-A short time ago,
at wedding in South Carolina, young
pany should be elected as president !;
that this president should be duly sworn
to keep entirely secret all the communi-
cations that should be forwarded to him
In his official department that night !;
that each unmarried gentleman and lady
| should write his or her name on a piece
of paper, and under it place the name of
the person they wished to marry, and if
any lady and gentleman had reciprocally
chosen each other, the president was to
| inform each of the result, and those who
had not been reciprocal in their choice,
were to be kept entirely secret. After
the appointment of the president, commu-
nications were accordingly handed up to
the chair, and it was found that twelve
young ladies and gentlemen had rccipro-
| cal choices, and eleven of the twelve
matches were solemnized. This is an
entire new and rather novel 'style," but
it might lead to more real happiness in
married life than long courtships.

the 9Th of April, charged me with having
deserted my post in the hour of danger,
while member of the First Rhode
Island Regiment. Gen. Burnsides hav-
ing, over his own signature, denied the
truth of your assertions, it remains for
me to pronounce you before the world,
and with full apprehension of the words
l use, liar, calumniator and poltroon."
The enterprise of Chicago merchants is
shown by the fact that their agents have
recently been at Boise City offering to
place upon the shelves of the Idaho mer-
chants, at greenback prices, dollar for
dollar, the very same classes of goods
which have heretofore been purchased in
San Francisco for gold. The San Fran
cisco ca1 and other Bay papers contin-
ue to sound the alarm for the Nevada
trade, expressing the opinion that unless
quick action is taken Chicago will mo-
nopolize it.
