The Galena Gazette reco rds the 70.
mantle wedding of Dubuque "youth
of sixty-six summers and springs"
named Horace Knapp to Georgia E.
Martin, of Rockland, Maine, which
took place in the ticket Office of the l.
G. railroad at Galena last Saturday.
The groom arrived on the 2:22 train
from the west, procured the necessary
license and engaged the services Of
Justice Ryan to perform the ceremony
When the train from the east arrived
at 6:22, the youth of &C assisted the lady
of 81 to alight, and retired to the tickle
Office where they we're soon made mar
and wife, delaying the train but tire,
minutes. There is doubtless som,
touching romance connected with THU
unusual wedding.

Henry Ward Beecher in his sermon,
last Sabbath, took the ground that
goodness was habit. A habit of any
kind once formed was hard to break,
whether good or bad, and if good habits
were established in early life they would
stick to a person in spite of all he
could do. When the tempter comes to
man grounded in good habits he will
have no trouble in giving the tempter
to understand he has no use for him.

Mrs. Walkup, who has been on trial
for two weeks, for poisoning her hus-

and whose trial has excited national in
terest, was acquitted by the jury after
two days deliberation. 1t was proved
, that Mrs. Walkup had purchased both
strychnine and arsenic at several drug
stores and an analysis of Mr.. Walkup's
viscera showed large quantities of the
poison TO have been taken; but it was
proved that both the deceased and his
wife habitually used arsenic-he for a
disease and she for her complexion
and liberal construction was put upon
the whole matter by the jury. inasmuch
as Mrs. Walkup is young and very beau

upon any member of family where
arsenic andstrychnine are as staple inthe
household as groceries and provisions.
