Delays are Dangerous. ThG benefits accruing to poor men from carrying life insurance nave recently had at least two striking exemplifications in this county in the deaths of Messrs. De Witt C. liolcomb and S. B. Brownlee. Each of these two had only paid an annual premium and settlements were promptly made as soon as the necessary papers were made out. Brownlee and Holcomb were both, insured in the Mutual Benefit, of Newark, N. J? which is represented in the Fork by G. N. C. Boleman, and in this city by G. W. Miller. This is one of the strongest and most reliable companies, be? ing in its 46th year of existence and hav? ing 50 millions of assets.

A special dispatch from Parkers burg, W. Va., to the Pittsborg Commereial Gazette, says: The facts of a rather ro? mantic marriage have just come to light. Some days ago, across the Ohio near Ma? rietta, 0. W. Burdick, of Hemer, 111., and Miss Mollie Cecil were married. Noth? ing remarkable was thought of it at the time, but it is now learned that Burdick, for some time, had been corresponding with Miss Mollie's sister, and came to Cecil's with the express purpose of mar? rying his correspondent. She had made all preparations for the wedding, but when the two met neither fancied the other. But a sister of the correspondent and Burdick soon became friends, and af? ter he had known her a week he married her. Mollie wore the wedding garments her sister had prepared. ?

The great majority of Bo-called cough cures do little more than impair the diges? tive functions and create bile. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the contrary, while it cures the cough, does not interfere with the functi/a of either stomaoh or liver.
