. arried in the Dar. 4out twenty yars -ago there liveil in Central Michigan a curions old behedict fttid DddVoth. At the age of fifty he married a girl of 1tht, nfd when the burden of sixty fybis bore him down his wife was on half his pge, Dodsworth was noted f. r his peculiarities, but the eli* max came wIen he found himself on his dying bod. IIe was worth about $30,000, arid he hadn't a blood re lativ I.iving so far as b knew., le walifed to Jdavo his prope,rty to his wife, As the pair' Jid lived very hap. pily,,but yet lie cou14 nA leave it without disllaying 3ome of his pecu liarities in the piovfisioiis ot the will. 8oire old men di6blay a mcan spirit when makiAng their wills, and draft in a provision cutting the w.fe -off with a shilling-if she mor,ies pgain. The old man wasn't of that stamp. His young wife was good looking, vivacious and fond if society and, it was folly to suppose she woau rourij for her "late departed" any great length of timO. Thefore Mr. Dods, worth turned lcel on the usual cus tom and said In his *Il: "In case my wife Celia does not take unto herelf another husband vithin thirteen inonths from date of my burial, all bequests otherwise made in this will are to revert to the 816e' i-1011fig6n, to be vsed for building and furnishing a home for od women." Whether Celia was pleased or"il Olensed at this provision 4Oeponelt saith not, but the old man had not been' under the sod more than six months when the widow was said to be looking out for another man. . If it was siingklar for the dying Duds worth to urge his wile to marry again, it was still more singular that he should desire thne ceremony to be pei fo0rwmed under the following cir cumstances, viz: "And it is made incumbent on said Celia Dodswvorth, that in taking a new husband, theo marriage cere manny shall be performed in the big barn on my farm, on the I- roa~d. It alhall take place at 10 o'clock in the evening, on the main floor, wvith out lights of any description, with all doors shut, and a free invitation shall be textended to all. The clergyman shall stand in the stables, and the bride and groom on the gain floor, and the p)rincipnl parties to the cere mnoney shall be dressed in black thirou ghout." A wILLING wIDoW. Thle widow announced her inten tion to faithfully obey in spirit and letter; the, will was probated, and the twelfth~ month had scarcely pass ed before'she issued an invitation for rhe& ITitih to attend a wedding at the barn. Just who the groom was to hbe-no -eno could possibly assert, as the widowv bad been keeping comn pan1y with a widower', a bachelor and two young men, and as far as any outsider could judge, sheo loved one r.s well as the other. Being good looking an~d talented, and haiga for tune behind her, it w as not st range that she should have a numnber of enitors. She seemed to enter into the spirit of the affair with great zest, agi adso did the milnister'; and to fur ther mistify the people in attendlance, the bride entered the barn alone at one door, the groom alone at another, and' no otie knew that the minister had arrived until his voice was heard in the stables. BOUND IN THlE DARK. There were at least 200 people p)resent, and each one understood that even the striking of a match would break the will. Many jokes were passed and considerable confusion existed. But at length the minister announced that all was ready. The ceremony was gone through with, and at its conichisioni, the affair hav ing been. a "profound success, a rush was made for the bride; she was kissed by a hundred meni and then carried home, a distance of a d6ile and a half, in a big arm chair. WHO IS THa HUSBAND? .Now comes the mystery. When the lady was set down at her own door the widower, the batchelor and the two young men each claimed to eb haer true and lawful husband. No of the crowd could say whno w4etuocy man, the-minister was art sea, apd thne bride hierself seemed to hJave doubts. The widower was - .*. 4 the man of her oboice, but In the confustribe cotod haTd[%q lu tied asiae, aind i did hrM that an attompt was made to choke him and get him ot of the barn. The batchWlr v*w&4 *a abe bodipran ished to marry him, as also did both young men, and each one was sure that be bow the Wid9o'is plump isp and was legally mrried to her. The four men bad ii gt, but that didn't mend Wttor*.' IThe cr6*t-Tdited iWo of them hi A Lreok, bat, thiat didr't decide tbe question. .

One of tlieyonig men, now over forty years old, and having all the wite be wants (she weighs two hun dred and thirty poundr), is living in thits city, and, during an interview had with him to day, he solemnly and ewrnestly'assred your eorres poident that he was legally married to the'widow Dodsworth that night in t lie big barn. An other of the parties live in Clinton county, and he has time and again asserted that he is the woman's true and law fil husband, so help him God. The bachelor is dead, but were lie alive and kicking he would- renew his oft repaated p: otestations: "I married her, by gain and, by gum! I ought to have her!"

The daily edition will on weak days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sundays a sheet. ot eight pages, or 56 broad columns; while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are already familiar to our frien(Is. The Sun will continue to be the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment., and of the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and fraud in the admIinstrartion of public af., fairs. It will contend for the government of the people by the people and for the people, as opposed to government by frauds in the ballot box and in the counting of votes, en, forced by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers--a body now not far from a million of souls-withi the most care-. ful, complete, and t.rust.worty accounts of cur. rent events, and will employ for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of re port.ers andI correspondents. Its reports from WVashington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless: andl it will donhbtless continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plunderling the Treasury or by usurping what the lawv does not give them, while it. will endeavor to me)rit the confidence of the public by tefendinig the righmts of the people against, the encroachments~of unjusti. fied power. The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a tmonth or $6 560 a year, post. paid, or with the Bunday edition $7 70 a year. The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1 20 a year, post paid. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columns will be furnished during 1877 at the rate of $1 a year, post paid The benefit of this large reduction from the previous rate for T1he WVeekly can be enjoyed by inidividual subscribers without the neces sit,y of making up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends choose to aid in extend ing our circulat ion, we shall be grateful to them, and every such person who sends us ten or more subscribers from one place will be ent itled to one copy of the paper for himself without charge. At one dollar a year, post age paid, the expenses of paper and printing are barely repaid; and, considering the size of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we are confident the people will consider The Weekly Sun thc cheapest newspaper publish.. ed in the world, and we trust also one of the very best.
