HYMESEAL :-About noon, on Saturday last, Governor 4. P. K Stafford arrived from Saca- ton, accompanied by his betrothed, Miss Jennie |. Tracy who, at o'clock, on the evening of of the same day, became Mrs. Stafford. The marriage ceremony took place at the Governors mansion in the presence ot several ladies and gentlemen of Tucson.
 The circumstances connected with this mar riage speak volumes for the integrity of Gov ernor Stafford as we'll as for the constancy and attachment af his bride who, unattended, ex~ cept by her servants, left scenes of gaity ard comfort to risk all the dangers and hard~ ships liable to fall to the lot of those who pene- trate this widest portion ofthe North American continent. Truly the journey is one from which many st-ong-pinded men have recoiled in fear.
 Up to g o'clock guests confirmed to arrive to offer their congratulations to the happiest couple in Arizona, and were received by His Excellency, with his characteristic courtesy, and rewarded by receiving throughim an introduc ton to bis beautiful and accomplished lady. Ex- Congressman, and Secretary. Hon. Coles Bash- ford, delivered very appropriate address upon the occasion, after which several toasts were proposed and drank in sparkling champagne. The guests took their leave and departed at n early hour. About l2 O clock some twenty of our most prominent citizens and four or five military officers, accompanied by the Tucson band. returned and poured forth their final congratulations inthe spirit of lively serenade, after which the company dispersed to their several homes, doubtless feeling that the Gov, ernor's usefulness, as member of society, in the past would be amply rewarded by happi- ness in the future

and us effects on the Weak and Feeble.
The draft which searching cold make
upon the vital powers of the debilitated and
delicate are not less severe than the drain
upon their strength, caused by excessive
heat. The vast disparity between the tenn
perature OF over-heated rooms and offices,
at this season, and the frigidity of the outer
air, is a fruitful source of sickness. To fort
ify the body against the evil consequences
of the sudden alterations of heat and cold
referred to, the vital organization should be
strengthened and endowed with extra re-
sistant power by the use of wholesome IN
vigorant; and, OF all preparations for this
purpose, (whether embraced in the regular
pharmacopoela, or advertised in the public
journaIs,) there is none that will compare in
purity and excellence with HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. Actingdirectly upon
the organ which converts the food into the
fuel of life, the preparation imparts to IL a
tone and vigor which is communicated to
every fibre of the frame. The digestive
functions being accelerated by its tonic op-
Grafton, the liver regulated by its anti-biI-
ious properties, and the waste matter of the
system carried OF punctualIy by it's aperient
action, the whole organization will neces-
sarily be in the best possible condition to
meet the shocks of winter and the sudden
changes of temperature. The weak and
sensitive, especially, cannot encounter
these vicissitudes with safety, unless their
tender systems are strengthened and braced
by artificial means. Every liquor sold as a
staple of trade is aduIturated and, were it
otherwise, mere alcohol is simply tempo
rary excitant, which, when its first effects
have subsided, leaves the physical powers
land the mind as well,) in a worse condi-
tion than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS,
on the other hand, contain the essential
properties of the most valuable tonic and
Alternative roots, barks and herbs, and their
active principal is the me1Iowest, least ex-
citing, and most inocuous of all diffusive

THIS NEW EASTERN PIKE.-Pursuant
to call, meeting to take steps for the
Organization of company to build a
turnpike road from Delaware 10 Sun
bury was held at the Court Room last
Saturday afternoon. The proceedings
ofthe meeting are given in another
place. We presume there are none who
question the factthat the proposed pike
would prove great benefit both to the
residents along the line and the citizens
OF Sunbury and Delaware, and many
deem it an absolute necessity. That
the road Will be constructed the coming
summer there does not seem to be much
doubt, but to insure success 1t is neces-
sary that all interested should invest in
It's stock. That the investment would
be paying one, aside from the great
| benefits conferred upon the town by the
increase of business it would occasion
and the enhancement of the value o.
all lands contiguous to it, we cannot
doubt. The Troy and Radnor roads are
now paying good dividends to theil
stockholders, and it is well known thai
travel on the Sunbury road is very
much greater than on either of them
We look upon this contemplated i'm.
provement as one of the greatest irnpor-
tance to our county and city. Our capt
talists and business men should give
ls their careful consideration.

PERsoNAL.-Last week we received a
call from Mr.. John Phillips, formerly
ofthis county, but now a resident Of
Bloomington, Ills. When the GAZETTE
was first issued, ffty-one years ago, his
father became a subscriber to it, and
continued one to the time of his death,
and the subscription has since been
kept up by Mr.. Phillips. He handed
us 81 for another year, and announced
his intention of keeping up the sub
scription as long as he lives. He says
that every number he receives in his
Western home, is as good as a letter from
old = Delaware, and that he can not do
without it.

JUDSE Cox, of Cincinnati, lectured
before the Lecture Association of the
University and its patrons, on Monday
evening. Subject, Gettysburg" He
prefaced his remarks with a fitting Gu
logy upon the life and character of the
illustrious "Father of our Country"
and also gave brief historical sketch
OF Gettysburg aud its surroundings.
His lecture proper was an interesting
account of the great battle, its promin-
ent incidents, and its results. He also
gave a beautiful description of the Ma
tional Cemetery, and an account of its
dedicatory exercises, in 1864. He ham
died his theme well, and his lecture was
well received. This lecture completed
the course for this season.

?, ALMOST A FIRE.-The alarm Of fire
last Friday afternoon called the fremen
roof of which had been fred by sparks
from burning chimney. Fortunately
the fire was discovered before it had
made any headway and was extiu-
guished before the engines could reach
the ground. We are very fortunate in
deed in regard to fires, having had none
of any consequence, since the one at
the Delaware Manufacturing Co. IS
Flax Mill, last summer. There have
been numerous alarms, but the fires
have always been put out before much
damage could be caused.

ture of this course was delivered on
Sabbath afternoon, by Bishop Thomson.
His subject was Miracles" We need
scarcely say it was production well

his former efforts in this place. The
weather was very unpleasant, yet a
large audience greeted him. The next
lecture will be delivered on Sabbath af-
ternoon, March 7th, by Rev. Asa Ma
hon, President of Adrian College.
These lectures, be it remembered, are
free to all.

We learn with regret that the guild of
Ohio journalists Is about to lose one OF
its most capable and honorable mem
bers, in Gen. A. B. Nettleton, of the
Sandusky Register. He goes to Chica-
go, that wicked place, on the 1st of
March, to labor as q missionary on the
4dUdHce guard. The Advance is now
an assured financial success, and it will
be power in Northwestern journal
ism. General Nettleton is TO have
charge of political and commercial
matters on it-so that our loss is Chi
cagO's gain. Our WaFmest good wishes
go with the General to his new and en-
larged field of usefulness.
We concur in the above regrets and
good wishes of the Columbus Journal.
Gen. Nettleton has achieved an envi-
able station among Ohio journalists and
carries with him to his new field
most brilliant prestige. May his fu-
ture success be co-extensive with the
earnest Of his past.

HINTS ABOUT SOWING FLAX SEED
Much care should be taken to procure
seed and it should be sown as early in
the Spring as the ground can be got n
proper condition. The ground must be
we'll plowed and thoroughly narrowed,
so as to be made as mellow as possible.
One-half bushel of seed per acre is suf-
fcient, and this should be sown with
great care when there is wind, so as to
secure an equal distribution. The seed
should be covered with a light harrow
or brush, and is much benefited by sub
sequeut rolling. The crop should be
cut with a moving machine, and the
seed threshed out as soon as it is dry

The heaviest snow of this winter fell
Monday night last. Owing to the hor-

was confined TO the pixies and streets
