 It is true there are half dozen bach elors in our village, and strange to say they do not pant after that matrimonial state that has distinguished and charac- orized some widowers i'll the world, ,ho commenced the work of wooing ,efore they had wound up on the work I mourning, in order, as it is said, to ,ccure and make sure of the fair face belonged, or would soon belong to d lother.
 If bachelors could only be made to eel how much they are loosing of the -tattle of the society of married persons, and which is the quintessence or the shucks of married life, we think they wonld at once exercise their acting powers, regardless even of leap years prerogatives.
 Will some high-minded, married man who belongs to "the wisest, virtuousest, lisereetest, best" of society for none others need apply give the much la mented, and greatly to be regretted, and too often envied bachelor philosophi- al theory of the law by which two may pc brought together as lovers l think Nil Desperandum and Virginia must be 'utfering from the gout, or else, why do they at once assume the role of Il ba, he- ior, and reformer who dances attedn- ,nce to wife and several small clnlneni loo thin too thin ! l No class in the community look more conterted, ap 'ears more happy, possesses more self 'Steem. and aspires less for that select 'ociety which the married brethren think hey afford, than the bachelors.

Conv rsatinn be ween New York and Chicago by the Gillett telephone system was attempted over the Postal telegraph company's lines, Thursday evening. Af- ter many trials the experiment was pro- nounced satisfactory by persons inter- ested in it's success. Others present were able to judge from the part of the conversation which they heard that Meadville was continually "cutting in. " The distance to Chicago by the line used was ,054 miles. 4 Cincinnati girl | danced from early twilight until 2 o'clock in the morning and then dropped dead at her partners feet. The young man secured another girl and went on with the "mazy waltz," without drop ping a note or losing step. '.''T The tel ephone IS better business even than passenger railways.
