A Marriage that Did Not Take Place
and One that Did. — A lively episode trans
pired in Cheatham Cos., Term., one day last
week. Near Fos’ar’s store there resides a
weli-to-do planter named Kermiff, who is
the father of a beautiful girl ot nineteen,
the hello of the neighborhood. Two years
t:go her heart was won by a young man
living in the vicinity. The father opposed
the match, owing to the fact that the lover
wa* a youth who, however rich in affeeti' n,
was poor in purse. He urged his snit in
vain and as a last resort went to Virginia
to s< e a rich aunt, and endeaver to persuade
her to settle enough upon him to enable him
to claim the woman of his choice from the
stern and unrelenting parent.
N'»w there chanced to be another suitor
to the young lady's hand, in the person of
the s>n ol another farmer of considerable
means, who resides in the adjoining neigh
porhood. Him the mercenary father favor
ed. In fact, he looked with gratification
upon the attentions received Dy his daugh*
ter fr rp this source, and besought her to
accept the young man's proposal. Several
weeks elapsod after the departure of the
favored lover, and no letter reached her
pining at home. The young planter, to
gether with the father, so worked upon the
mind of the bewildered girl that she at last
acceded to the demands of her parent.
Arr,mgemens were made for the weding to
take place at once.
The day arrived, and while the party
were in waiting for the clergyman, a young
man rode up to the gate, dismounted, and
came hurriedly up to the house. It was
the missing lover, who brought substanial
proof of the generosity of his relative in
Virginia, A scene ensued. The young
lauy did not faint, as heroines of novels
sometimes do, but she gave the waiting
bride-groom, who stood py arrayed in a
splendid suit of broadcloth, such startling
proofs of the affection which she entertained
for his rival, that he fled from the house in
a frame of mind very close on to anger and
disgust. The father stormed a little, but
was finally consoled. There was feasting
in the house that day, and when the next
arrived there was a wedding. It is un
necessary to designate the parties concerned.

Remains of a Giant Eighteen Feet
High. —The following story, which we find
credited to the oil City, Pennsylvania, Times
is wonderful if true, and a wonderful peice
of impudence if untrue :
On Tuesday morning last, while Mr.
William Thompson, assisted by Hubert R.
Smith, was engaged in inakiug an excava
tion near the house of the former, about
half a mile north of West Hickory, prepar
atory to erecting a derrick, they exhumed
an enormous helmet of iron, which was
corroded with rust. Further digging
brought to light e sword which measured
nine feet in length. Curiosity incited them
to enlarge the hole, and, after some little
time, they discovered the boues of two enor
mous feet. Following up the “lead" they
had so unexpectedly struck, in a few hours
time they had unearthad a well-preserved
skeleton of an enormous giant, belonging
to a species of the human family which
probably inhabited this and other parts of
the world at that time of which the Bible
speaks, when it says : “And there were
giants in those days." The helmet is sail
to be the shape of those fouhd among the
ruins of Niveveh. The bones of the skele
ton are remarkably white. The teeth are
of extraordinary size. These relics have
been taken to Tionesta, where they are vis
ited by large numbers of persone daily
When his giantship was in the fiesh he
must have stood eighteen feet in his stock
ings. These remarkable relics will be for
warded to New York early next week.
The joints of the skeleton are now being
glued together. These remains were found
about twelve feet below the surface of a
mound which had been thrown up probao
bly centuries ago, and which was not more
than three feet above the level of the ground
around it. Here is another nut for anti
quarians to crank*
A Matrimonial Monomaniac. —A good
looking, well-dressed female, about 23
years of age, with flowing auburn hair, en
tered the office of a physical), and requested
a private interview. No sooner were they
alone than the lady informed him that she
was pound to get married, and as two were
necessary to bagains of the sort, she had
selected him to assist her in accomplishing
her object. She was ready, and there was
no necessity for delay. She was bound to
get married, and at once. The worthy
Doctor was taken aback by the proposition,
and attempted to evade a direct answer,
but the female was uot to be put off in that
way, and he only escaped the hymeneal
halter by informing her that he had marris
ed only a few days ago. Conversation
convinced the doctor that she was a mono
maniac upon the subject of marriage.
Fiuding the doctor was not eligible, she
left the office and called on several of the
neighboring physicans, in each instance
proposing matrimony. She also called on
several lawyeas and merchants, but failed
to find any one willing to accept her offer.
She is modest and lady-like in all her ac
tions and conversations, and only upon the
supject ot matrimony does her insanity
for she is evidently insane upon that sub
ject—betray itself. She is very respect
aply connected.— Louisville Courier Jour

The Supreme Court of Alabama has
rendered a decision, in the case of Benuiah
fe. Bibb and William C. Bibb, ex parte, the
effect of which is said py the Montgomery
Mail to be to declare that there were no le
gal courts in Alabama during the war ;
that all judgements, sales of property, &c.,
perfected under decrees of the courts which
sat during the war, are null and void!
The Mail continues : “It; follows from this
decision, and others of like purport which
were rendered on Tuesday, that all debts
contracted before the war are dead, and
that all property sold under judgment awar
ded upou such debts reverts to the original
owner. The debts are dead, because the
scalawag Legislature, at its last session,
repealed all the laws which purported to
have suspended the opeiation of the statute
of limitations. This point, however, was
argued yesterday before the Si p -eme Court.
AVe will see wether the Court declares that
the tt Cute has never been suspended. We
preaume that the ruling which the Court
makes as to the period of the Confederate
government will also apply to the period of
the Pation and Parsons government."—
