CRYSTAL WEDDING.-A large number
of the friends of Mr. & MRS. HAM DUKE,
assembled at their residence on Saturday
evening last, April 10, to celebrate the
Fifteenth Anniversary, of their wedding
At the appointed hour the house was well
filled with the friends of the happy couple
and all went with something to present
to them, as an appreciatio n of their kind
regards and friendship. After social
chat of an hour, Mr.. s. Mrs. Duke were
arraigned before those present, when Rev.
j. T. Simmons presented the articles of
glassware that were spread on the table
before them. The presents were very nice
and we know of no one who would not be
pleased to receive such tokens of friend
ship. The Brides cake and Opera Glass
were the finest of the kind we ever saw.
In the presentation sp eech, Mr.. Simmons
left the impression on the mind of the
groom that slice of the cake would be &C
ceptable before supper, which hint was
well taken, and proceeded to slice the cake,
when he found out the nature of it. The
cake was made of glass and frosted SO tn at
it had the appearance of genuine cake,
Mr.. D. acknowledged the corn and treated
those present to splendid supper, which
we know was well taken care of. The
Opera glass was made of two wine bottles
with the bottoms cut of, and fastened
together in the centre with tin. All pres
ent en- joyed themselves finely, and at late
hour bid them adeu.

SINGULAR CIRCUMsTANCE.-One morn
ing some months since, Mr.. Thomas Nc
Larnan, of Liscomb, Iowa, got up and built
a fire. STOPPING over to blow the Goals he
suddenly became concious of some dis.
arrangement of his laxative faculties, and
when he arose was unable to speak. He
continued in this condition, unable to ut
ter word, using slate and pencil in CONVEX
sation until short time ago, l. &. Green,
of this city met him, and advised him to
come here and receive treatment at the
hands of some of our surgeons. Acting up
on this advice, he came to our city, and
registered at the Gait House. On the even
ing following his arrival, about nine
o'clock, he experienced q tickling sen.
sation in his throat. which occasioned fire.
quent and at times violent coughing. The
next morning he was unable to eat or swal-
low owing to some impeachment in bis
throat, and going to the well after drink,
he again commenced coughing and finally
expelled wad of membranes from his
throat as large as hickory-nut After that
his speech was restored and he is now
able to converse as well as ever The case
throughout is one of great singularity.

for ages labored in vain to give the rationale of
truth, until Lord Bacon proclaimed the method
