Double Wedding.

A very interesting ceremony took place at
the residence of Mr.. James Colby and wife of
Fryeburg, Thursday even n.y. Oct. I'd, the ff-
tieth anniversary of their welded life. On
this occasion Mr.. Colby, who is 70 years old,
and his wife 70, were married again by Rev.
d. B. Sewall of Fryeburg. John S. Colby of
Lowell, Mass, was married the same evening
according to the rites of the Swedenborgian
church, to Miss Fogg of Abbott, Me. One re-
markable fact connected with this family is,
that there has never thus far occurred DEATH
Mr. Colby has five children, of whom Richard
Colby of Fryeburg, aged 40, is the Oldest
Albert Colby of Portland, aged AZ, is next, and
John Colby of Chicago. 40, is the youngest
brother. Mr.. Colby has sister, II years old,
having four children and several grandchildren,
no death having occurred in her family. If
such longevity is not golden what would make
it, unless perchance, the light of Omnipotence
beyond the rolling river should give it the
perfect golden hue. Mrs. Colby's grandmother
was sister to Gen. Stark of Manchester,
n. III. She had three brothers in the
revolution on the American and one on the
English side. A great many relations and
friends gathered with the old people on this
occasion. The whole affair was we'll gotten up
and those participating will have occasion
to remember it with much real pleas
ure. A poem setting forth the creed of the
Swedenborgiau church, that marriages last be-
You'd the grave, was written by Albert Colby
of Portland, for the occasion. **

DO not these Democrats see that if the

something calculated TO raise it in public es-

the people will not object and the party can

The N. Y. Mail says: "If insurance premi

it is much more costly affair now than for
merly to provide indemnity against such fires
as in these days sweep over our cities. We
believe the underwriters are simply doing
what every merchant does when he finds out
that he has been selling his goods at less than
cost.
Even little apparent benefit from the con-

Says the Washington Republican: The

king has seen its day. Iron and other

are beginning to assert their prominence as
articles of export.

DETAILED STATEMENTS from the surviv-
ors of the Polaris set at rest the absurd sto-
ries in regard to the death of Captain Hall
by poisoning. Scarcely doubt remains that
the immediate cause OF his death wa. an at
tack of aploplexy. That the insubor1ina-
tion of the crew and the unseemly wrangles
of the scientific men of the expedition were
predetermining causes is quite probable; but
it is unjust to accuse any of his comrades of
composing his death by violence or poison.
The expedition was marked failure, and
only successful in that it demonstrated that
hate and envy and jealousy and other bad
passions rage as strongly under the midnight
sun as in temperate ATTITUDES.

THE Secretary of the Treasury bids fair to
acquire the unenvlable distinction of being
the worst bored man in America. Every mail
brings numerous letters from financiers and
would-be fnanciers in all sections of the
country, containing suggestions as to the
proper course for government to pursue, and
minute directions in regard to feasible meas
ures for the resumption of specie payments.
One wise man of Gotham declares that il the
Secretary will resume his sales of gold and
put as much as five millions on the market at
once, the national currency will Immediately
appreciate to par. Unless Mr.. Richardson
be man of singularly phlegmatic tempera-
ment, we may expect to hear of suicide in
official circles at Washington, and of cabi-
net potfolio held by deputy.

AN interesting question at this time is,
''What has become of all the greenbacks 2"
At present there is no better solution than
the supposition of the New York Times,
which thinks it would not be an exaggerated
estimate to say that forty or fifty millions of
greenbacks are boarded in the negro cabins
of the South. Putting the negro population
at four millions, the forty million dollars
would give pretty large average.
