<A Wedding which Eas announ

~A wedding which was announ,
ced to come off in Goshen Township
last Thursday, failed to occur at the ap-
pointed time, owing to the unexpected
absence of the bridegroom. The guests
we're all assembled and everything in
readiness for the performance of thelmar-
riage ceremony, but the young man came
not. He was sent for but refused to go,
alleging as reason that he hadn't the
courage to face the large number of per
sons who had assembled to behold the
tying Of the nupiisl knot. He was finally
prevailed upon and consented to present
himself at the house OF his affianced, Be
fore arriving at the young lady's resi-
dence his courage deserted him again
and he refused to 60 step farther. He
turned his back upon the happiness that
was in store for him and went back home.
The marriage was declared "ofi'' and
the wedding party disbanded. The
young man, however, had no idea Of CIV
ing up his girl, but on Saturday he went
to her residence and the couple were
married in the presence of none but the
young lady's Immediate relatives. These
young people arc very worthy and res.
pectable. Their names will be found in
our list of marriage licenses. The
young mans timidity is so great that he
could not endure the gaze of the friends
who had assembled to see him married.

wAmong all the names presented to
Gov. BISHOP for appointment, from the
highest to the lowest office in his gift,
there is not another in regard to which
the expressed wish Of the people Of the
State has been so general and so con
spicuously unanimous as that of Col. R.
W. JONES for the position OF State Ii.
brarian. The Coloner.s general and spe-
cial fitness naturally brings to his sup.
port all who know something OF the
man and something Of the duties of the
Office. He is a ripe scholar, perfectly at
home among books, and Of most
obliging disposition. He would in that
position become at once prime favor
ite with all who avail themselves of our
great library.
Gov. BISHOP would do himself great
credit BY making this appointment. II
there is criticism Of the Governors
administration which It is difficult for
his friends to answer completely, it is
that be has given away Offices too much
as GRANT did-rewarding personal
friends without sufficiently considering
the public will or the public good. As
the Governor is almost certain to be our
candidate this Fall, we sincerely trust
that he will not in this instance,to which
so much public attention is directed,
make an appointment which his support
ers will find it hard to Justify.
II the Office we're permitted to seek
the man, it would traverse the whole
State to find Col. JONES.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costiye, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally 4
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation Of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been DONE A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise all
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
