She naively replied that it might come under the, head, of " Domestic affliction." - An unfortunate bachelor, in tho northern partrof New Hampshire who had made many unsuccessful attempts to get a wife, at last succeeded, by the irresistible temptation of a fifteen-dollar silver v watch, ; in inducing a high-tempered old maid to marry him.
