Leap Year COurtship.

The Omaha Bee says: Many Of our c,ti-
zeus will recollect Mr.. NJ. L. Stanton, sec>
retary to Dr. Payne. Fot the last two
weeks he has been at Council Bluffs with
the doctor. Last Wednesday he was mar
ried in that city, and th ere is little ro-
nance connected with the affair.
There arrived 10 Council Bluffs; ten days
ago, lady from California, named Mrs.
Fitch. She was on her way from San Fran.
cisco to London, but becoming sick while
travelling, she concluded to stop at Conucil
Bluffs, and put herself under the care of q
physician. She accordingly employed Dr.
Payne. While she was the doctors patient
Mr.. Stanton became acquainted with her.
She is very handsome lady, thirty years
Of age. and was widow of the third de-
gree, having had three husbands up to the
time Of her meeting Mr.. Stanton; in addi-
ton to these facts 1t may be stated that she
ls possessed of considerable wealth. Mrs.
Fitch Ia powerful spiritualistic medium,
and lwhile travelling eastward abe had q
presentiment that she was to meet couu-
tryman of hers to whom she would be unit
ad 10 mstrimony, No sooner had shs set
her eyes on Mr.. Stanton than she concluded
that be was the very man. Mrs. Fitch.
after very brief courtship. took advantage
of the fact that this is leap year, and ch ang-
ing the course generally pursued in the af-
fairs OF the heart, she made q proposal Of
marriage to her beloved. Mr.. Stanton took
time 10 consider the proposition. Mrs.
Fitch was Of good family, handsome, educa.
ted, and, above all things, wealthy, and be
finally concluded to become the fourth hus-
band. An affirmative answer was accord
ingly given, and the ceremony took place at
the Pacific House in Council Bluffs last
Wednesday afternoon, after brief court
ship Of one week; but the brevity of the
courtship was only excelled by the ardor o.
the lovers. The happy couple have gone
on wedding trip 10 New York, where
they will probably remain.

Mestrs. Cornen & Beers. owners Of the
Smith farm, near Rossevills, on Cherry run
and the Summit farm, better known as the
Cornen & Beers farm, Oh Oil Greek, near this
place, are about to sell the same. Speak.
ing of these farms the Oil City Register says:
The history OF the Smith farm constitutes
an interesting chapter in the Petroleum de.
velopments. Purchased in the frat instance
for yoke of oxen, and fually by Messrs
Cornen Il Beers for few thousand dollars,
It has since yielded an amount OF wealth
that would seem almost incredible, and can
be reckoned by millions. With only alimit.
Cd portion of the same developed, tble aver
age yield has been one Of the best among
the producing farms Of the OIL Region. 1t
10 to-day one Of the most desirable oil props
critics we know of aud will be sold at bar
gain in order to close mp the business Of
Cornen d Beers. Being so conveniently loi
Gated, and In such good working order, this
property is one of the best investments that
we.could recommend in the country.
The Summit farm, having the advantages
OF being surrounded upon all sides by the
best producing oil farms of the Oil Greek
valley, is equally desirable. This.tarm will
be divided II desirable to purch asers.
