movement, to vindicate the right in
the Supreme Court of the United

her in her opinions upon the subject
of the marriage relation, which she
thought ought to be dissolved when-
ever either party believed that it
had failed to secure domestic happi-
ness and the legitimate ends of this
domestic relation. This is an un-
scriptural teaching, since Jesus
taught, 1What God hath joined
together let no man put asunder."
Moreover it is a dangerous doc
trine, tending to the disorganization
Of civil society and government, by
practically abolishing the marriage
relation.

ED, REGIsTER:-Buz we
hear.
There once lived.a man who had
striped pig. He procured tent
and determined to have an agrieul-
tural show, to display to the public
what nature or art (for we are not
told who striped it) could do
toward beautitying the swine. The
striped pig show proved quite a
success, for it soon s'leaked out''
that the admittance fee procured for
the initiated drink of'sthe ardent"
behind the curtain ; and thus to
the honor of agriculture, the striped
pig, for two-bits, and the clear rye
free, carried the day.
l must confess to little surprise
at seeing from Buz SO artistic
defense of horse-racing, and assured
ly fthis is the gentleman's ''idea of
progress" as he hints, we are as a
county progressing. If he can see
no other evil in horse-raeing than
the cruelty of it, / fear he is not so
much Of horseman as he would
make us believe; for the horse
which will not run for the excite
ment fthe race, had better be out.

But a truce to all this. I never
complained that the premiums We're
any Of them small except in the
mechanical department; and here
may just return the question ofthe
gentleman, elias it been SO long
since he came from the East that he
has forgotten that the sDiploma"
goes acih the highest premium,
except to machines under patent, as
reapers, threshers, patent churns,
&C., which receive diplomas only !?
In answer to my argument the
gentleman comes exactly what I

dubbed mechanic, c,-look out for

would devote that daughter to the
Church.
He arrived at length, weary

by Gisela, now grown into lovely

veiled with soft folds of lace, hel

silken lashes that swept her fan
face, were now uplifted with loving
welcome to her father. She was

increased fury, as if to vent its
wrath upon Rudesheim.
In the morning, as Bonser sat

CITY PARK.-Wc hope to arouse our
City Fathers to Il full sense of the duty
they owe the people in the way of a
Park. Ga several occasions heretofore
we have pressed this matter upon their
attention.. and we again insist that the
right time to secure the grounds for a
CITY Park. TO be used in common by
all OF our citizens, is the present.
Economy suggests the present time,
because land can be procured at a much
less figure now than hereafter. 1t will
require but few hundred dollars now
to make neat. tasty and desirable
Park. that will be the pride of our
citizens and an ornament to our city
but if the matter is STAYED Off from
year to year, when the demand for
such an Improvement becomes so ur-
gent that our City Fathers cannot shut
their ears to the cry, then the city will
be compelled to pay thousands of doll
ars for what might have been secured,
had action been taken at the proper
season, for few hundred. We wish
to build up an attractive city, which
shall be known far and wide for its
beauty and convenience, and TO do this
we must make Il start III the right di-
rection. Give Us a City Park as a
starter.

of gold. If capitalists could be induced
to take hold of this ledge there seems to
