Mrs. NANCY j. BETHEL, Of this town, had
8 whole house full of pretty girls, but they
were soon all married, and the old lady, like
"Beryrs Mother" concluded to '.maEe q
break" herself. Occasionally the citizens of
this town would catch glimpse of a very re-
spectacle appearing and good looking gentle
man prowling around of evenings and late into
the night, but he was not looking around to
steal corn; he was ''courting on tne sly" and
intended to steal away one of our best citizens,
and he induced the lady named above to
accompany him to Bridgeport, where they
were married, and paid visit to friends in
field, is the name he answers to. Both parties
are of excellent reputation, and have the bes;
wishes of their many friends.

We made notice, last week, of the sudden
death of w. s. Culbertson, Esq, of Cincin-
nate, but could give no particulars. We have
since learned that it was caused by malig>
nant form of diphtheria, and that he sacrificed
his own life in caring for those suffering from
the same disease. He was a member of the
United Presbyterian Church, and stood high
in the estimation of his pastor and the citizens
of the community where he dwelt.

was made yesterday by Mr. Clement
Russell, owner of a certain amount Of

A DIRE disaster occurred last Satur-
day at Braid dwood, Illinois. in one of the
three coal mines operated by the Dia-
mond Mine Co. Braidwood is situated
about twenty miles from Joliet,
and a dispatch from that place says that
the ground had become sogged and
loosened around the shaft of the mines,
and one of them caved IN burylng sixty
eight men and six boys. Fifty-fiye of
the lost miners leave families. All the
water. from the surrounding country
drains into the mine and nothing can
be done to drain it. 1t may be weeks
before the bodies can be recovered, as
only two or three can work at time in
removing the large land slide Every
one agrees that the accident was una
voidable. The Adjutant Genearl visited
the mines on Monday by direction of the
Governor, and in bis report recommends
immediate and substantial aid for. the
widows and orphans from the State and
