MARRIAGE CEREMoSY.--In early
days when ministers We're scarce and
the morriage ceremony had to lie per-
formed by Justices Of the peace, who

Thus far the season has met the predic-
tion made in April, and will doubtless
continue in the same line; favorable to
the small grains, grasses, fruit and root
crop, and moderate for corn. At best,
this crop will be light one; but it will
be fully compensated for in the heavy
yield of other crops. From the present
outlook, the farmers will have no reason
to complain of the present season--such
as alterations ofrain and drought.
We have had the usual presentation Of
humbngs-such as Norway oats, new
grapes, strawberries, raspberries; but our
farmers are learning wisdom by experience
and have gone little slow on these things,
and it is doubtful if they have paid any
great margin over advertising and agen

WHY Preston KING COMMITTED

IN Why PRESTON KING COMMITTED
SU1C1DE.--A5 new revelation of the
cause that drove Preston King to
commit suicide is made by writer
in the Ogdensberg Journal, who
clames to have been in confidence Of
Mr. King, and to have gathered from
bis own lips a knowledge of the feel
ing by which his mind was worked
upon until it lost it's reason. By this
writer, tide suicide of Mr.. King is at.
tributed entirely to the treachery Of
Andrew johnson, whose nomination.
for Vice President, in 1864, was due
to the efforts Of Mr., King perhaps
more than to those ofany other man.
After the Vice Presidents drunken
Inaugural, Mr.. King took him in
charge, going with him to Silver
Springs and other places, and labor,
ing with him until he became sober
ed. Afterwards, when Mr.. Johnson
became President Mr.. King took up
his abode at the White House, and
the Journal says his sole purpose
was to watch over and advise with
him. Finding his influence upavailing
to prevent Johnson's betrayal Of
those who had mistakenly elected
him, apprehending the most disass
trous consequences to the country
from what he saw would be the char
acter and course of the Administra-
ton, and feeling keenly his own re-.
sponsibility in a great measure for
the nomination and election Of 90 bad
and dangerous man, morbid gloom
settled upon his mind, which dar-
kened until he destroyed himself
The story is quite consistent with
known facts, and very probably fur
nishes the true explanation Of the
melancholy mystery of Preston
Kings death.

A PUBLISHER in Germany made
some time ago an offer, which he.
designated in his letter as very lucra-
tive, in order to induce Charles Dick

no time to write for him, and as for
the lucrative character of the offe, he.
was paying twice as much as he had
been offered to him to the humblest
contributor to HI the Year Rys1ud.

TIME OF CUTTING.

Just here is where doctors disagree, at
least in practice-not to any great extent,
however, for nearly all of us manage to
render the hay innutritious and unpalatea-
BILE to our stock, and we rush to the corn
crib to make amends. And this leads to
position injurious to our working teams
and brood Mares if not in the rearing Of
colts. We find it difficult to winter our
stock without the aid of corn, while our
eastern friends have no trouble on this
score, hay being almost their sole reliance,
and they seldom resort to the grains un-
less large amount of straw is used.
For mich COWS and work teams not half
the grain is fed per head as withus. TAX
ing these facts as admitted, there are two
points to be considered-either the ouali-
ty of our grasses is inferior, or we do not
cut them at the proper time. No one will
admit that our grasses are inferior, but
the more stoutly we stand up for that
little point the more positive is the other
ugly fact presented, that we manage them
badly. But, says one, had we the barns
of New England we might have just as
good hay. Not quite SO fast, my good
friend, for the hay in our barns is but lit
tie superior to that in the stack, for near
ly all of it is cut at the same time, has
been over-cured, the sugar washed out OF
it by the rains, or bleached out of it by
the heavy dews.
In the first place the grass is over-ripe
when cut, and in the second place is ex-
posed for too long time in the suns rays
and the night dews; added to this leav-
ing it in the cock for days, exposed to the
rain storms that may visit us at that sea-

POETRY.
A Railroad Rhyme.

There was little milliner,
Whose name was Charlotte Dunno,
Though there was nought of ill in her.
She loved bit of fun.
And on an Easter holiday,
With mind all free from care,
Tho 'eHss melancholy day.,
She went from Euston Square
BY train; in which beside her sat
-. A man who seemed polite,
1alx'd, smiled, and looked SO wiselyNk
.nnather opposite.
Onward, onward, sped the tlain
az Hill. and dale and moor;
"a ned aftefit in vain,
& could not Get before.
The whistle sounded long and shfil1;
"a tunnel now they neared,
Which near a lofty snow-clad hill
Its dismal entrance reared.
Young Charlotte saw her "vis-a-vis"
Rise slyly from his place,
And by her side, right closely, he
Sat with smiling face.
Thought she, "These men look for treat
Unless Judge amiss,
And think twill be an easy feat
To snatch stolen kiss
So when they in the tunnel got
She changed her place unseen;
Yet neither of the men did wot
But she was still between.
Then soon dismal cry arose
Is And raised a great alarm;
For each had knock'd his neighbours nose
And done him grievous harm.
Right fearfully they both did swear,
1 And swift their chatter ran,
When each of them became aware
That he had kissed man
The train soon passed the tunnel through
And came again to light
Exposed their faces all view
1t was a sorry sight!
With swollen nose and watery eyes
Each vowed, in right good sooth,
He would the other well chastise,
And beat him without ruth.
y The train soon to a station came,
At which the lass got out,
And, having much enjoyed the game,
Said, with pretty pout:
Good night, kind sirs; to you 1 wish
A very pleasant ride;
And counsel you, when next you fish,
To see how runs the tide.
Let this to you warning be-
AS to each loving spark
If girls wont kiss you when they see,
Don't try it in the dark ~

HAVING.
If there is one thing in our rural econ
omy that is either not well understood, or
we'll practiced, it is the time and manner
OF cutting and curing hay. Western hay
is, as general thing, much inferior to
the same article east. This result is pro-
duced by our own management; for ma
ture has done much for US, maturing our
grass early in the season, before the long
heated term, as general thing giving US
much better weather for cutting and cur
ing.

An UNNATURAL AFFAIR.--Some time ago, a
gentleman living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, died,
leaving Young widow. He had been married
before, and had son by his first wife, who is
now about seventeen years old. He left some
money and property, which had been very care
fully taken care of by the widow, the money be-
ing placed in the bank for safe keeping. A shor;
time after his death his widow conceived vio-
lent passion for her step-son, which was re-
turned, and they lived together as man and wife
until the fact could be concealed no longer. The
young man promised marriage if she would give
him check on the bank for $500. She con-
sented and drew the check. He drew the money
and has not been heard of since, much to the

communicates the following:
An extraordinary matrimonial contresemp,
trauspired in Williamson county on Christmas
day. double wedding occurred in the same
house, and the wedding festivities were celebra-
ted in the old-fashioned style, and in that joyful
way naturally prompted by Christmas and the
blissful event which made the two couples happy.
About midnight both brides retired to rest, and
in half an hour thereafter, the newly-made hus-
bands followed suit. BY some strange mishap,
each gentleman found his way to the wrong
room, and actually occupied the bridal couch to
which he had no claim: Strange as it may ap-
pear the mistake was not discovered until day.
light, when one of the ladies shrieked her sur
prise after vigorous fashion. A general hub
bub was the result, and, at latest accounts, the
brides were disconsolate, partly on account Of
the scandal created, and partly from visions OF
possibilities in the dim prospective. All sorts
of schemes of reparation were proposed, but it
appears that no tangable plan for undoing this
double mistake was arrived at.
