1t is a well understood fact, that
certain classes of goods pay the dealer
a very large percentage of profit:
This appears almost necessary, es-
pecially in Fancy Goods, Jewelry,
Silver Plated Ware, &c, of which a
dealer does not sell sufficient of any
one article to make it an object of
trade, and is obliged to purchase IN
small quantities; and when the goods
are sold by three or four different class
es of merchants, and each charge a
very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost of manufac-
ture before reaching the hands of the
people.
1t is in such goods Parker d Co 50

MAIRiED.-Att the residence of Mrs
Keys, on Tuesday evening, Novem-
Der 18th, 1869, by the Rev: John S.
Bates Mr.. Jonathan Mafiett, Auditor
of Wyandot county, to Mrs Eliza j.
Morris, of this place.
The announcement took the denIZens
of our town like a clap of thunder in
a clear sky. No body was looking
for it, for it had become a settled fact
that Jonathan was proof against the
wiles of Cupid. By the fairer portion
of Gods CT alton who had failed by
smiles and the graceful arts that adorn
the sex to thaw the i"crusted emo
tions of his heart. he was thought
h~opelessly joined to the idol of Bach
lorism and regarded by them as be-
yond redemption. But the little ar
cher with bow well strung shot his
arrowt with such precision and force
as 10 peletrate the armor of this STEEL
clad celebate, and soon he was joined
to his long train of slaughtered limo
cents. Warmed by the sunny smile
of the bewitching fair one, and fahing
to follow the pIous injunction of the
venerable Samivel Weller, TO Beware
of Widders,' ne found himself chained
to the car Of the God of Love, without
the power to break the chord. The
sequal was soon reached. With STAN
mering tongue and palpitating heart
he called ON Judge BeiHer, procured
the papers, and calling to his aid and
assistance his next friend, Robert, slip
ped the moose oker II $ neck, and made
a sacrifice of himself on the alter of
love. Valel Vale! Jonathani I low
ed thee whilst living and MOURN thee
being dead to Bachelor. Having
Joined the Benedicts, we hope he will
do as all good Benedicts do, live tenn
p~erately, love everlastingly, with on
ly an annual sq~aH to cheer the hearts
of the loving pair yandot Union.
Caught at last o Jonathan! For
many summers, and dreary winters,
our Bachelor friend has been travel
ing up and down the earth, SOLITARY
and alone" but is now safely moored
in the Haven of Wedlock. Good for
you, friend Maffett. Better late than
never. May your years be long and
pleasant, and may your "frow," find
a kind protector, and mnch happi-
ness under your ROOF.

our readers, that Mr.. Maffett, estab-

Remedy has accomplished for my wife more
Thu n we could have believed without having
