California Illustrated.

| TWO YEARS IN CALIFORNIA. By Mary Cone.
Illustrated. Il 40. Cloth 3i.15. Chicago: :. G
| Grig-.s & CO.,
Judging from the large number Of
works which have been written the past
few years by travellers, tourists, and 9TH
crs in regard to California, one would
naturally suppose that the subject would
be pretty well understood and that there
would not be much to say. But it seems
! there is still much to seen and told about
in that part of our country, which as
Samuel Bowles said several years ago,
has "a nature as bGundlcss in its fccund
ity and varity as it is strange and start
ling in its forms"
California is the" wonder. land"of Amer
lea, and probably has as much, if not
more than any other part of the world of
like size or extent, to interest the trav-
eler or the seeker after the curious, the
strange, the grand and the beautiful in
nature. She has a waterfall fifteen times
as high as Niagara All climates'are her
own; any variety which her long stretch
north and south does not'present, her
mountains and valley introduce. Dead
volcanoes and sunken rivers abound in
her mountains; the largest animal of the
continent finds home in her woods and
forests; the second largest bird of the
world floats over her plains for carrion;
the bones of the oldest man have been
dug out of her depths; the largest nugget
of gold ever discovered, weighing 1876
pounds was found in her gold deposits;
she has lakes of such rarity that sheet
of paper will sink in their waters, SO vo-
racious that they will eat up man, boots,
breeches and all, in thirty days so en-
dowed in their fountains that they will
supply the worlds apothccaries with
borax, sulphur aud soda; and besides
tn cse many other things which can be
fonnd nowhere else. This volume is
carefully and Interestingly written ac'
count of the authors two-years expert
ence in that State, and is therefore
entitled to the credit of Icing truth
full; for had she been permanently set
tied in tke State she might have been
tempted to indulge in compliments which
woQsd seem more than the true state of
facts would warrant. or bad she simply
been passing through or stopping one
season there she would not have had
such favorable opportunity to sec the
country as it is The volume Is iliustra~
ted by fifteen very fine engravfngs and
two maps, which add to its yaiae. The
chapter on the early history of California
is especially interesting, giving many
facts in regard to the occupation by the
Spaniards and the wav they worked to
convert" the Indians TO the Roman
Catholic religion. There is also chap
ter entitled "A Trip to the Yosemite"
which contains many suggestions which
would interest and instruct those WHO
expect to see the great wonder me
book will doubtless find many readers,
and none will fail TO be highly pleased ey |

The Wedding,

Last Thursday evening the nuptia,s of
Mr.. Jas. A. Harrigan and Miss Elvira
Harrison, were celebrated at the residence
OF the brides father, in Toledo. A small
company of friends and relatives had
been invited and were present on the eve.
ming designated. About 8 o'clock the
happy couple appeared in the parlor and
in short time the twain were made one
Rev. NJ. r. Drury officiating. The room
had been handsomely decorated with
flowers. autumn leaves, &C., the decora.
tions taking the form of Weddinn Toll
on each side of which was letter II the
initials Of tie parties, wreaths harm
&c, &c. After the ceremony, and when
congratulations had been lavishly be-
slowed b. all present, an elegant supper
was seryed, and amid music and feastinp
the time passed rapidly away. The pres.
ents were not very numerous, but were
FIVE. We failed to get list of them, but
some were particularly noticeable, espcc-
tally the fine and beautiful sleigh given
by the groom to the bride
MIR. Harrigan came to Toledo about two
years ago, from Chicago. He is painter
by trade, and is very pleasant and
agreeable young man, and during his
stay in Toledo and Tama City won a
great many friends. He has been absent
from this vicinity several months.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Harrison and is well known
in Toledo and vicinity having lived here a
number of years. She is an intelligent,
true-hearted and well-educatcd Young
lady ard is worthy of any man. She has
been absent from home nearly all Summer
travelling and visiting in the east. That
the pathway of this couple through life
may be pleasant and happy one is the
wish of all their friends and acuuaint-
ances in which the writer hereof heartily
ioins.
