tion, and the marriage of widows is
now allowed. The first, it is believed,
which has ccourred in the Presidency
- of 13 am buy, took placo on the 22d of
JMovember lust, at JJundora.
An exchango thinks it would be well,
before raising expensive monuments
to the soldiers who have fullen in tho

through compact sandstone at the rate
five feet per hour. Fiftoon diamonds,
costing about fiftoon hundred dollars,
aro oso instead of steel cutters, and
aro set in tho end of a tub to revolve
by machinery. The drill leaves a core
landing, which is broken off at cons
vonient longtb, and drawn up. These
diamond Gutters last a long time, and
the maohino is said to be the cheapest
