A REMARKABLE WEDDING.-The st

Louis Republican publishes the following :
A wedding which was notable in some
respects took place in the Catholic Church
at Carondelet yesterday, December 7th,
Mr.. James Murrin, of the firm of L. A.
Benoist g. Co., was married to Mrs. Sarah
Benoist, widow of the late Louis A. Be
moist. Mr.. Murrin was for a number of
years employed in the banking house of
l.. A BenOist as clerk, and we believe was
admitted as a partner few years before
the death of the head of that firm. The
wedding took place in the same church in
which Mrs. Benoist was married to her
former husband, and the ceremonies were
rendered unusually interesting by the fact
that two little sons of Mrs. Benoist acted
as the groomsmen, and two little daughters
as bridesmaids these composed the
whole wedding party. These very young
ladies and gentlemen performed their roles
with grace and dignity, and the whole
affair was pleasant family party.

d" Your grateful friend,


See Directories for full name.
The Man who first nominated Grant would
be delighted with such letter as this, and
laying our hand upon our heart, we fervently
declare that it is no more than his due.
In Chatham street, some years ago, dwelt
a colony of pawnbrokers in single block.
The first sign of the first shop read thus
''This is the original Jacobs" The second
sign announced g This is the original J;l-
cobs." The third firmly asserted This is
the original Jacobs' The fourth was per-
emptOry in maintaining This is the original
Jacobs" and the fifth insisted that This is
the original Jacobs" Then came the sixth,
which, in enormous letters, called the world
to witness that ''This is the ORIGINAL Origi-
nal Jacobs, and would take no denial. The
man that first nominated Grant recalls to US
the touching rivalries of those enterprising
merchants, and we wish him equal success in
business. We can only hope that when he
succeeds in button-holing the President elect,
and narrates his claims to official recognition,
he will meet with better reception than did
the man who first nominated Lincoln. Mr..
Lincoln, y said that unfortunate individual.

pered in his ear these startling words ''iSir,

CHANGE OF NAME

We subjoin the following affidavit in injunc-
ton suit formerly pending between Mercada &
Seully, plaintiffs, and G Simon, defendant
P. Sainsevain, being duly sworn, says, That the
article known as Sainsevains California Wine
Bitters was manufactured by Mercado & Seully,
about the month of March, 1861, without the said
Sainsevain Brothers having any concern in the
manufacture thereof. That deponent has always
known and considered said Mercado & Seully. as
the Sole Proprietors of the Sainsevain California
Wine Bltters."
Notwithstanding the above affidavit the said P
Sainsevaln is putting up compound under the
name of Sainsevan's Wine Bitters, representing il
to be the same as our celebrated Btters, which we
have been manufacturing and selling in immense
quantities since 1860, and also affxing nearly
similar label to that used genuine Wine

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco ouacks and pre
tehders VINO, with bogus sworn-to certificates dupe
tne unwary. Some of the self-stvled doctors
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and otbe,
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths shoemakers
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office Keepers &c
Look over the San Francisco directory and Won
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for 1852 and 1868. The only wav
to AVOID imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets 4; for.
as advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is Io safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates pretended patients letters &C.
Dr. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
