Judge Beott (not John T.) granted the order.

EXPENSIVE though inexhaustible and execrable fashion this season decrees that ladies' suits must correspond one part with another as to cost and color. This makes the expense of feminine attire very much greater than last season at this time. It seems to us that this thing has gone from one extreme to another, until like all other things, there should be a limit. Have we not ladies in this community who have independence of opirit sullicient to sustain them iu wearing their old clothes to save expense, and innovate fashion?

Au Exciting "WeddingTour. 'Twas a lovely, starlight night in February, was the happiest man ii the worid, for i.ad I not tnat evening clasped hands with the sweetest bride that ever wftio orange-blossoms, and heard the holy man's blessing oil our blithe faith?

Of course I had. Yes, 'twas my wedding night and oft, while receiving the noisy congratulations of relatives and friends, my eyes had sought her beloved features with pride and affection,'and my heart had swollen with

joy

and gladness at the

realization ol my fondest hopes and dreams. But the hour for our departure drew nigh, and all else was forgotten in my impatience to take my darling to our home and, amid the cries of cheer and God-speed, I placed my bride and her sleigh, and, gathering the reins over the backs of my noblp horses, who, seemingly feeling the joy and impatience of the moment, sprang like lightning to the highway.

We had a ride of twenty miles before us but the air was keen and bracing, the snow hard and well beaten, and a few hours would bring us home.

Away we sped, the trees, rocks, and snowdrifts fled rapidly to our rear, while the tinkling of the bells chimed a merry accompaniment to our happy thoughts. We were too full to speak—at least I was. What words could paint the ecstacies of a lover-husband

Full one-half of our journey was accomplished when we reached the forest of Toherken, through which nearly the balance of it lay. As we dashed into it, and became enfolded iu its gloomy shades, an involuntary shiver passed over me but though the darkness grew each moment more dense, a kiss, snatched from the lips of my

bride, reassured

me.

We had traversed a considerable portion of the forest when a low, moaning murmur came wailing through the trees, that sent a chill to my heart that wellnigh stopped its beating.

I had heard that sound twice before, while in the North, and knew too well its fearful import. Tightening the reins, I struck my gallant steeds with all my strength, and accompanied the blow with a cry that sent theia on the road with redoubled speed. "Why, Iran you are cruel," met my ear, while at the same time the horrible sound—louder, nearer.

Great God She little dreamed of the cruel necessity which prompted again the lash applied to the now excited steeds, for they, too, had heard and recognized the warning.

On, on we flew—yes, flew, when again behind us, louder, nearer yet, came the dreadful sound.

I was on my feet now, straining, every nerve to keep my horses to their work. "What is it, darling?" "Nothing, pet."

Appallingly near came the deep baying of the monsters, to give me the lie. "Ivan, are they wolves

She had named the dreadful danger. Yes, the wolves had scented their prey, and were even now upon us.

My father's house, our destination, was just beyond the forest. Could we reach it! On, on we flew and back of us, sweeping along like the dread waters of ocean, came a dense, dark wave of living fiends and in a moment more, countless balls of fire gleamed around us.

With a low cry of t3rror, my bride sank to the bottom of the sleigh, and covered her eyes to shut out the horrid sight.

My pistols—a shot—a short pause, and on they sweep. Another—a moment only gained. With a curse, I flung the empty tubes at the nearest brute, to be answered by a hellish growl. "My God! and must we die?"

A shrill note of terror from the horses told me it would soon be over. Terrible despair! A thousand thoughts cross my bewildered brain. My bride, my home, parents, happiness, life—my mother-in-law!

Hah! my mother-in-law! Like lightning flashed through my mind the question, of what earthly use is a mother-in-law to a young couple? and, like inspiration flashed the answer, "Clearly, none at all." In a twinkle of au eye she was struggling with the angry pack, and nobly she contested with the hungry brutes. We are near our home. A moment is a life. But, alas! too soon our sainted mother-in-law is following us— in piecemeal. Almost there! Five minutes and we are safe. But on, like aveuing demons, come they. The horses stagger and reel. Again around up leap the brutes, maddened by the taste of blood.

I fling myself to the bottom of the sleigh, and a pair of arms are around my necii, and warm kisses fall on my cheek." "We will die together, darling." "Ah, ah What for? No, no Inspiration again!

And over the back of the sleigh I bundled my darling bride, and kissing my haud to her, fell back unconscious.

I awoke in the arms of my anxious mother, and, to agonized inquiries after my bride, could only respond with a convulsive shudder: "Chawed by the wolves, mamma, dear."

Lassoing a Grizzly.

We forgot to note a little incident that took place here some time ago that was worthy of record, illustrating California youth and life. Two boys, aged respectively 12 and 14 years, sons of W.E. Foster, of the Montecito and R. L. Hail, of the Ojal ranch, were out in the mountains on horseback, looking for their cows, when they discovered a young grizzly bear toddling along iu the trail. They had been long euougn here to know the danger of trying to catch the little fellow, the ferocious dam rarely being beyond the cries of her young. But the temptation was too strong lor youthful discretion, and keeping an eye on the varmint, they began halloing, and finally convinced that the old one was not near by, they rode up to him, and with the dexterity of old vaqueros, quickly succeeded in fastening the lariat about his neck and took him safely home. It was a feat as dangerous as daring, and a sport old hunters would not care to indulge in unless exceeding well mounted.

Decent regard for the safety of our own citizens on the island requires that we must be prepared for any emergency.

From the Louisville Ledger, Dec. 20. A RA.!SH SUICIDE.

A Young Wife Blows Her Brains Out in a Fit of Jealousy Ikcailse licr Husband Goes to a Spelling-School.

From a gentleman who arrived in this city last night from Gosport, Ind., w© learn the particulars of a most distressing case of suicide that occurred near that town last Saturday night. A young and

i.very

estimable gentleman named

Davis, who had been married but a short time, and whose marital relations had been of the most delightful character, received an invitation to attend a country spelling-match or school that was to come ofi Saturday night a few miles distant from his residence. He informed his wife of the invitation, announcing to her that he would attend, inasmuch as he had many personal friends whom he would meet there.

It seems that the wife was greatly excited at this announcement and it has since transpired that this excitement was the result of a foolish fit of jealousy, she imagining he only desired to attend the school that he might flirt with some of his former young lady acquaintances. She told him that if he went she would blow her brains out, and he would find her a corpse when he returned. Mr. D., however, treated her threat as a bit of bandiuage, notgiviugita second thought. This was in consequence of the pleasant life they had so far lived together, their happiness never having been marred by au unkind word, or, as far as he knew, even thought. He therefore mounted liis horse and rode to the school-house.

He returned about ten o'clock at night, when, upon entering his residence, he was horrified to find his wife lying in a pool of blood upon the floor, a part of her skull blown oil'. She had too fearfully executed her threat. The wound was iuflicted with a revolver, which, from the powder marks upon her face, must have been held close to the forehead. The lady was the daughter of John R. Dunn, Esq., of Gosport, and an intelligent, handsome woman. Her rash act has almost driven her husband to insanity. They had been married but five weeks, and were apparently greatly attached to each other. The sad affair has created profound sorrow throughout the entire neighborhood in which the unfortunate family lived.

A Clerical Resurrectionist. The Grand Jury of Gloucester county, N. J., have indicted the Catholic clergyman of the town of Swedesboro', and two other persons, as resurrectionists. About six weeks ago a member of the Catholic church died, and was buried in the churchyard in a lot purchased by his widow. Prior to his death deceased had been derelict iu his religious duties, and the priest is alleged to have ordered the remains to be removed from the burial ground. This was done at night, by the two men also indicted, and the corpse was buried outside the ground and the grave filled in. A woman living near by saw them at work, and, telling of it, au excitement was created, whereupon party of the friends of the deceased again dug up the body and replaced it in the original grave. On the following Sunday, such of the party doing this as were members of the Catholic Church, were expelled by the priest, amid great disorder. The two men who were also indicted pleaded guilty, one of them turning State's evidence. The clergyman is said to contemplate bringing suits for tresspass against the persons who replaced the body in the burial ground.—Newark Evening Courier.
