Statistics of marriage in Ohio, since 1866, show a remarkable decline in matrimony. According to the published figures of each year, ainoe 1806, it is shown that in that year there was one marriage to every eighty-two of population. In 1873 the proportion was one marriage to one hundred and eighteen of tho population,

London society is considerably excited by the announcement that Holman Hunt, tho eminent artist, is about to marry the sister of his deceased wife, As the laws of England forbid such marriage, the ceremony will bo performed in some other country.

A new way pf proposing marriage is reported, and we give the facts for the benefit of those interested. A gentleman attended a fair held In New York recently, and fell in love (as gentlemen sometimes do) with a demoiselle in the floral templo. He bought a $10 basket of flowers, and, handing hor a $50 biil said: "If you don't give mo tho exact change I'll marry, you." The blushing maiden handed him back $30 (she was probably confused) and he remarked

I thought so." Cards will be out neJct week. Says the Indianapolis Journal, these d:r of foolish display, a good word ni .-t be said for Miss Stewart, daughter of Senator Stewart, who was married in Washington Monday night. To begin with, the bride is said to be one of the most sensible as well as beautiful young ladies in Washington. She cooks sews, markets for the family, and versed in eveiy useful accomplishment Her wedding cards, eschewing the silly custom of the times, had no monogram The wedding was in her father's house, at an early hour, and followed by a good old-fiishioned dance. There was but one bride's maid, the bride's sister. The bridal trousseau was purchased entirely in Washington, and every article of it made at home under the personal supervision of the bride and her mother. Fl nally, the newly wedded couple do not make a "tour," but settle down at once to common-sense happiness. All this is refreshing.

Married people should treat each other like lovers all their lives—thea they would be happy. Bickering and quarreling would soon break off lovo affairs consequently lovers indulge in such only to 9 very limited extent. But some people—men and women both—when they have once got married think they may do just as they please, and it -will make no difference. They make a great mistake. It causes all the difference in the world. Women should grow more devoted and men more fond after marriage iftheyhavo tho slightest idea of being happy as wives and husbands. It is losing sight of this fundamental truth which leads to hundreds of divorces. Yet, many a man will scold his wife who would never think of breathing a harsh word to his sweetheart and many a wife will bo glum and morose on her huslund's return who had only smiles and words of cheer for him when ho was her suitor. How can such people expect to be happy? liONS&Y TONIGHT, MJVJfc"

"A NEW DEPARTURE!"

It is a well known fact that Merchants in order to make up the loss on many lines of Domestic Goods, add the extra Per Centage on Dress Goods, Cassimeres, Fancy Goods, &c. (No Merchant will pretend to deny this.) We propose during the coming year to inaugurate anew system, namely, to

LARGELY REDUCE

the usual per centage on such Goods, believing that in the increased trade which we hope to receive we will in the end be the gainer.

Our Buyer is now in the Eastern Market sending us large invoices of choice and desirable Goods. We shall open the Spring Campaign with an INCREASED LINE OF DRESS GOODS,
