Marriage ana Death.

Friday night, the little place kI wn as
Dogtown, situated about twenty miles
from this place in the mountains, was .
scene of activity. A grand candidates
ball and supper was to be given, and
candidates and other persons were pres
ent from far and near. One attraction
that drew so many persons together that
evening was the announcement that
wedding ceremony would be performed.
A young man by the name of George
Crandall, handsome and industrious
miner, was to be married to Miss Mary
Atkins of Nimshew. The ceremony took
place at eight o'clock, land dancing was
kept up until near the break of day
when the newly married pair started for
Nimshew, where the bride was to remain
with her mother, willis Mr.. Crandall
returned to Dogtown to transact some
business. The trip to Nimshew was
made without mishap and directly after
arriving there young Crandall started on
his return trip, but did not reach his
destination. Some time after daylight
parties on their way home from the ball
discovered the bloody and insensible
body of Crandall lying in the middle of
the road. His buggy was lying at the
side of the road total wreck. Crandall
was picked up and carried to q house,
where physician pronounced the case
fatal. 1t is supposed that the young
man, completely exhausted from dancing
and loss of sleep, had dozed off into
pleasant slumbers and dropped the lines,
and his horses, becoming frightened at
some object, had run away and thrown
him out. His wife was almost frantic
when the sad news was carried to her,
and she hurried to her husbands side.
The affair is indeed sad one, and has
east gloom over the neighborhood of
its occurrence.-TC Chico Record 23d inst.

Celery As u Cure.

The habitual daily use o: this vegetable
is much more beneficial to man than
most people are aware of. A writer who
is familiar with its virtues says: II have
known many men and women who, from
various causes, had become 20 much
affected by nervousness that when they
stretched ont their hands they shook like
aspen leaves ON q windy day, and by a
moderate daily use of the blanched foot
stalks of celery as q salad they became as
strong and steady IN limb as other peo-
pie. l have known others so nervous
that the least annoyance put them in
state of agitation, and they were in con
slant perplexity and fear, who were
also effectually cured by moderate use
of blanched celery as salad
at meal time. have known others to
be cured OF palpitation of the heart.
Everybody engaged in labor weakening
to the nerves should use celery daily in
the season and onions in its stead when
not in season." To this we may add
that a prominent New York druggist
draws in winter from his soda fountain a
hot extract of celery mixed with Libig's
meat extract, under the name Of OK
celery. 1t is nourishing drink at lunch
time, far better than coffee or tea, and is
doing great deal in this neighborhood
to promote temperance. We give Gel
cry almost daily to our canary birds, and
it cures them of fits; they are little ami
mails with very delicate nerves, easily
frightened, and therefore they need such
a remedy very much, aud the relish with
which they take it is proof that their in
stinct guides them to eat what is good

1 might here give some interesting

l might here give some interesting
names OF a circle each worth from $3.50,
600 to double that sum, but it is hardly
proper to attract fortune hunters from
other places to this city. Even rich
widows will be sought for as long as any
hope may exist. Sometime ago one of
this class, whose husband had been a
successful merchant, was surprised by
call from we'll known lawyer from the
center of the State. His card was sent
up, but she declined an interview, being
will aware that he came on q matrimo-
NAL errand, which she determined not to
encourage. But however attractive their
case may be, experience has shown that
that it is not always safe to marry
these rich widows. Aaron Burr tried it,
but the bride mime. June) soon turned
him out of the house. Charles O'Connor
also m .rried a widow of property Mrs.
McCrackan), but u separation soon took
place, and the famous lawyer gave his
wife separate establishment as long as
she lived. A number of similar instan-
ces could be given did we have space for
this interesting subject.
While speaking on this subject 1 wish
to say plainly that it is not my intention
to reflect on widows after the fashion of
the Pickwick papers. So many of our
best men have married widows, and
found them the very best of wives, that
this point is past argument. For instance
Washington, Jefferson and Franklin each
married widow the names being sever
ally Mrs. Custis, Mrs. SHELTON and
Mrs. Read The photographer
johnson and the philanthro.
pist Howard each married widows
who we're many years their senior, but
they lived very happy, and johnson
never ceased to mourn his departed
Getty" Aaron Burr's first wife was
widow MRS. Provost), and as long as
she lived his fortune was in the ascend
ant. Their married life appears to have
been happy, but, as in the case of Jeffer
son, it only lasted ten years.
Napoleon married the widow Beuhar.
nais, and as long as he continued faith
full to her, his progress was brilliant and
successful. A very curious instance of
this is found in the history of Sir
William Herschel. He reached the age
of fifty as bachelor, but then married a
widow MRS. Mary Pitt, with whom he
lived in q happy condition for third of
. century. They had one son, Sir John
Herschel, who became also an astrono-
mer. and won high distinction. NOLAN.
med is also on the same list, for at
twenty-five he married the widow Kadi-
jah, who was forty, and whose wealth
and influence were of assistance to
needy adventurer. These facts add
fresh value to the rich widows of New
York. That one of this number gave

president of the American Silk Exchange
to reporter of the New York Star, "are

cost 81 an ounce, or about 25 cents per

Hold on, Mr.. Smith," cried the re-
porter, "at that rate there would be &c.
900 eggs in an ounce"
"Don't let that tax your credulity,"
replied Mr.. Smith, with fin SQUIRE.
"In fact there are no less than 40, 600
eggs to the ounce, and we guarantee all
the eggs we SELL"

where she is left until she dies and is
