+ An Important Decision.
Judge G. G. Barnard, in Chambers
of the Supreme Court: of New, York,
gave an important decision, involving
the marriage laws of that State. The
case came up in court on a petition of
HORRORS I'ROM MEXICO.
Over One Hundred Men, Women and
Children Crushed Beneath Twenty
five Thousand Lona of Roek—Thir-
ty four Persons Drowned.
Mexico, October '16.-<The ‘most
horrible catastrophe that has oeeurred
during the last half century in any
silver mine, in the world happened
within the old mine of Jesus Marin,
near the city of Guanajuato, on the 9th
of October. About 2,500 peons and
Indians are employed in this mine du-
ring the entire year. It was opened
in the early part of the 16th “century,
and has been worked continually since
that time. Some of its chambers have
been extended three thousand feet from
the opening. On the date mentioned
while the laborers were seated in one
of the broader chambers, eating their
tortillas con chili-=uoonday meal—they

ment. The defendant did not deny
the abandonment, but set up & plea in
bar that he had never been married to
the plaintiff.
The plaintiff in hor own behalf, set
up that a marriage having been a reed
upon between them, all the usual prep
{
{
|
ting the same were made, In 1867 |
she met the defendant, hy apprintment, |

lyn, and while driving together in a
carringe in Central Park, the defend: |
ant placed a ring upon her finger and |
said : |
“This iz vour wedding ring. Weare |
|
married. We are married just as much
as Charles is to his wife (referring to
his brother and sister-in.law.) I will
live with you and take care of you all
the days of my life as my wife.”
To thisthe young lady assented,
and the parties lived together as man
and wife, until August last, when he
abandoned her, first inducing her to
sign a paper, declaring that no mar- |
riage ceremony had been performed.
The defendant on his examination, en-
tered the plea that he never agreed to
take the plaintiff as his wife, but that
it was understood and agreed upon,
that she should live with him as his
mistress, and that he gave her a wed
ding ting so as to deceive other people
and allay all suspicion. No pretense
was set up that at the time of the al:
leged marriage the plaintiff was other
than a blameless and virtuous girl.
Judge Barnard in his review of the
evidence, declared himself satisfiad
that an actual marriage had been con-
tracted between the parties, and that
if the defendant, while jendeavoring to
accomplish the ruin of a virtuous girl,
hlundered into matrimony he had no
one but himself to blame,
He further went on to remark :
“If the practice is as common as the
defendant alleges of men passing off
lowing them to bear their names with-
out anv marriage contract, it is time
that they should learn the risks to
which th>y expose themselves in tus
trifling with the marriage institution
and the good order of society; that
there should be a decree declaring the
plaintiff the lawful wife of the defend
and alimony with costs and reasonable
expenses,
This puts a new phase upon the laws
of matrimony, and more explicitly de-
fines'the responsibilities of parties con.
templating and contracting marriage,
if, indeed, it does not completely revo-
lutionize the entire institution of mat-
rimony, placing it upon the broad
grounds of ordinary civil gontracts,
avoiding the established legal formuia
of procuring a license, or calling upon
a minister or magistrate to perform
the ceremony.
‘We donot propose to diséuss the
scope and bearing of the opinion of
Judge Barnard nor that of Judge
Fithian in the similar case of Durand
vs. Durand. But if they be followed
as precedents, the mode of perfecting
and consumating the marriage contract
will be essentially changed, and elope-
ments will become unnecessary, and
stern papas will no longer be a terror
in the tender eyes of young love.
Why is a one dollar greenback bet-
ter than a silver dollar? When you
fold it you double it, and when you
open it you find it in creases.

Curiosities of Barth.
At the city of Medina, in Italy, and’
about four miles around it, whenever
the earth is ‘dug, when the workmen
arrive at a ditance of sixty-three feet,
they come to a bed of chalk, which
they. bore with 2n augur five feet deep.
They then: withdraw from the pit be-,
fore the augur is removed, and upon
its extraction the water bursts through
the aperture, with great violence, and
quickly fills the newly made well
which continues full, and is affected
by neither rains nor droughts. But
what ‘is the most remarkable in this
operation js the layers of «earth sa
we descend. At the depth of fourteen
feet are found the ruins ofan’ ancient
city, paved streets, houses, floors and
pieces of mason work. Under this is
found a soft, cozy earth, made up of
vegetables, and at twenty-six feet large
trees entire, such #8 walnut trees, with
the walnuts still stuck to the stem, and
the leaves and branches in a perfect
state of preservation. At twenty-eight
feet deep a soft chalk is found, mixed
with a vast quantity of shells, and the
bed is eleven feet thick. Under this,
vegetables are found again.

repay them for their lubor, for shabby
western homes, though they may get
twice as many as their Pennsylvania
farms contain for the money which the
sale of the latter would bring. A given
number of acres can be farmed with
less Jabor in the West than in the
East; but ean a given amount of money
be as easily earned there as here,
with at least 6) percent, in the price
of produce in our favor? The land is
all cleared, therejare no stones to haul
off, no manuring necessary—in fact it
is all ready for the seed, except “break.
ing up ;"” these ave the advanteges of
fared over Pennsylvania lands. But
it costs more than double the amount
of money to fence and build on the
land there that it does here-+a board
fence on a farm in Iowa is seldom
scen—in most parts of Iowa, Minneso-
ta and Wisconsin is impossible to raise
fruit on account of the short season
between spring and fall, the thunder
stormes and destructive tornadoes that
sweep over the prairits in summer, and
the low figure at which farmers are
obliged to sell their produce, are some
of the objections to Westeru farming.
In winter, the gloomy, dreary scene
presented by the sea of snow which
spreads on all sides as far as the eye
can reach, ns the fierce northwest wind
whistles through the little groves of
stunted locusts and poplars, seen here
and there, forms a striking contrast
between a broad, flat, cheerless West-
ern prairie and a cosy Pennsylvania
valley. Lumber being scarce and high
priced on the prairie, the houses are
secessarily small, and in nearly all
mates from those terrible norwest
winds.
Comfort isabout all we can axpect
in this world, though real happiness is

have farms in the old Keystowe State,

be otherwise than comfortable, provi

BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING —Some
of the more benighted buisness men
have an idea that advertising has no
beneficial results. For the informa.
tion of such we give tha expsrience of
a numher of rich men, some of them
millionaires, who attribute their wealth
to Jiberal advertising.
H.T. Hembald, the great medicine
man; says: Without advertisements
I should bs a paor man to-day.”
Robert Bonner, the successful pro-
prietor of the New York Ledger, says:
“My success is owing to the ~ liberali-
ty in advertising.”
A. T. Stewart, the great merchant
of New York,says: “He who invest
one dollar in business, should invest
ong in advertising.”
Stephen Girard, who buili up 8
colossal fortune, said: “Constant,
persistent advertising is a sure prelude
to wealth.”
