Spiritual a wedding. The London papers announce the marriage of Miss Katherine Fox, one of the Rochester family, who it will be remembered were the original spir itual mediums in this country, to a Mr. Henry Deidrich Jencken, a prom inent German spiritualist The wed ding, which, took place at St Maryle- bone Cturcb,-was Witnessed br a num ber of personal friends in tnc flesh, and as it would seem, by a considera ble number from the spirit land. The Loudon Times gives a full and partic ular account of the ceremony, in the course of which it says : As the marriage ceremony was in progress, gentle raps were beard in the vicinity ol the altar as though the spirit friends of Kate^Fox were anx ious to congratulate her on her happy marriage,- add again in the vestry the same sounds were heard, being trans lated by Miss Fox as signs of the ap proval of her friends in the spirit land. At tho conclusion of the marriage service the bride and groom, with their friends, re-entered their carriages aud were driven to 43 York place, Port- man square, where a magnificent, breakfast, whose centre piece was an immense wedding cake, had been pre pared. At the wedding breakfast, when the usual wishes for the happiness and welfare of the bride aud groom had been uttered, and while the toast drink ing was in full blast, the spirits who had deserted the sombre church and followed the party to the social board again made themselves heard, and loud and frequent raps were heard in various parts of the room. Miss Fox’s mother was the first to make herself known. She sent a message to Mr. Jcncken, commending her daughter to liis care, and expressing her approval , of the marriage. Be sides this she communicated to him several matters of a private nature. Closely following this spirit came that of Mr. James D. Taylor, whose will made so great a sensation in the courts ot New York a few years ago, and who was a kind and benevolent friend to Miss Fox during the latter years of his Hie. “We were with you at the altar” said Mr. Taylor. Then he too, like the bride’s mother (de ceased), communicated with Miss Kate, or Mrs. Jencken rather, for some minutes, and finally concluded by heartily congratulating her on her marriage ane wishing her a happy and prosperous future. When the spirit of Mr. Taylor had ceased talking, 101 a time at least, the company was made aware of the pres ence of many others from the spirit land, and the raps were frequent, and in all parts ot the room. They were facetious spirits, too. One (said to be that of Mr. Taylor) rapped out, to the infinite amusement ot all present, spirits departed as well as the bodily guests ol the newly wedded couple, “Jencken is no longer his own mas ter.” Having enjoyed the merriment occasioned by this brilliant sally, the same spirit added. “Meet again on Tuesday week.” COMMUNION WITH TIIE SITIOTR. Then Mr. Harrison, in an interval when the spirits were at rest, asked of them, “Can you carry a message this morning to our friends in America ?” “Yes, to Maggie,” (Miss Kate’s sis ter), was the reply, on the receipt of which Mr. Harrison requested them to say to Mnggir, “Your sister Katie was married to-day in the presence of nine loving friends.” He asked the spirits, further, to con vey a similar massage to Mr. Mans field, of New York, as so many differ ent spirits were able to communicate through him, but the disembodied seemed to be by no means sure of find ing him, and answered diffidently that they would try. THE TABLES MOVING. To cap the climax the spirits at length manifested themselves physical ly, at least in a certain sense. Ah the company, with brimming bumpers, rose to do honor to the toast, “ Our Spirit Friends,” llic heavily laden ta ble was genMy raised from the floor, and was suspended in mid air for some seconds. This occurred also at other periods of the least. After the breakfast Mr. and Mrs Jencken Itfi London for Tunbridge Wells, where a portion of the Iwucy- moon was spent. They have since re turned, and will soon visit Paris. The wedding cake was intrusted to Captain Perry, of the White Star line, by whom it will be brought to New York for distribution among Miss. Kate’s friends. Mr. Jencken is a spiritualist of many years standing. J/e was among }he first ot the professional men of Kagland to publish what he knew about spiritual phenomena at a time when the announcement of a belief in them produced more rcdiculc t.nd re quired more moral courage thau at tho present time. His betrothal to Miss Fox took place some months ago, hut was studiously concealed from all hut very intimate friends. A Fighting Paiison,—The Edge- field Advertiser tells the following ac cident of the late war : During Longstrcefs campaign iu Tennessee, while a portion of his ar my was under a fearful tire ol shells from the enemy, at Campbell’s Sta tion, a private soldier within a few feet of the Colonel of his regiment, had both bis leg* torn off. The icgi- ment was not lighting, but wailing for orders. The wounded man was lifted n couple of yard* in the rear to die.— Another private now marched down the line under a hail of missiles, and said to the commanding officer.— “Colonel, may I have a few moments to pray with that*dying man ?” The Cotoncl said arc you a clergyman ?— The private answered I am. Then said tnc Colonel, do as you desire.— And the man of God knelt and prayed for the dying man five or ten minutes, without moving or swaying his body, seemingly totally unconscious of a storm of shot and shell, which, the Colonel tells us, be never saw surpassed in fury.* In A few days the' praying private was announced in Held orders ns Chaplain ol the regiment—“pro moted for gnliantry and piety on the field. The regiment was the Hamp ton Legion. The Colonel Gary, the private soldier was the Itev. W. M. Thomas, now pastor of tho Methodist Churches of our circuit. ' ‘ As Irishman's Third.—When tbreo Irishmen dug a ditch, for which they were to receive four dollars, the trouble was how to divide four among three and !»ave it equal. One of them remained fpiiet, and the other two at last deferred to his judgment, as he had been to school and knew arithme tic, to make the division. lie did it at once, saying:. .“It* aisy enough 1— Shura thereVtwofer you two, and two for me, too*” “Bigorra,” said one of his co-laborcrs, “what a great thing it i* to have learning!” “And” said ibp other as lie pocketed his single dollar, “and to know ’rilhmelic! It’s like of us two’d never divided them four dol lars equally.” To Mend Ciuna.—Take a very thick solution fffcqm arabic in water and stir into It plaster-ot-I'oris uutil tl c mixturejbeeproe^ of a proper A Fanner’s Tonis* £ Mr. Joel Coney, a practical, intelli gent add successful fanner of Laurens county, finds', that on acre ot l*d&! laid off m 'diamond shaped figures will accommodates greater number ot hills of contend give a largtf yield than laid off as usual, in rectangles or squai es.

When last on a vist to Hawkin- villebegave ns a few suggestions a? to tho proper mode of cultivating them. His plan is to select a tract of old, worn out land that is not likely to bnng a large crop of crab grass the first year. He then digs deep holes and places therein a Quantity of .' ma nure, after which he i>laoia the seed. The vines gradually spreiul over the laud aud are not troubled with the usually abundant growth of grass that so generally interferes with the culture of the melons. He is known far and wide for his success m this department of agricul ture, as well os in the production of cotton and other crops.—Hawkinsvillc Dispatch. Notable Events.

Thus, in the United States the proporlfon of the insane to the population is 1 to 1,081. Of our native bom people tbe insane are 1 to 1,261 # of foreign immigrants as 1 to 496.— This is bad enough but in California tbe tliffercuce is even much moro marked. In that State 1 in 489 of the whole people nre insane; among native , In 868; among foreigners, 1 in 284.— If tho same proportion prevailed in the whole country, the insane of the United State* would number 133.760, instead of 87,382. Probably the prin cipal reason for this difference is to be found in the sovcrance of .social rela tionships, and the lack of syrapathv find of friendly intercourse to which the foreigner must necessarily submit when coining to a strange land. ] Interfering with a Laborer under Contract.—We have heard recently great complaint from farmers around here, that different parties have persuaded laborers regularly un der contract, to leave their employers.
