MARRIAGES.
BUSH--LOWERY.--March 14, 1871 at the residence of John WORKMAN, in Buchanan tp., by Rev. E. McCARTY, Mr. Gilbert M. BUSH and Miss Anna M. LOWERY.
ECKELS--LAWSON.--March 1, 1871, at the Court House in Fairfield, by Thos. D. EVANS, Mr. George ECKELS and Miss Mary LAWSON.
The Cedar Township Literary Association was addressed on last Monday evening by Prof. M. THRASHER, Principal of Fairfield Union School; subject: "How many races have we?" Mr. THRASHER opened by remarking that he had come to present his views upon the subject in hand, and, although they might conflict with previous teachings and ideas rendered sacred by time, he gave assurance of his determination to offer freely and without reserve his own opinion of the subject. He boldly avowed the idea that there were created in the beginning three distinct pairs of human beings, from which all of the people of the earth have sprung. He discarded the Malay and American Indian, as forming distinct races, but declared them only to be only a degenerate or inferior species of the Mongolian, changed by time and climate. The masterly manner with which he handled these controverted points, and the confidence with which he drew aside the curtain of popular opinion and adduced historical evidence in defence of his views, attest how minutely he has investigated the subject of plurality of races.
Mr. McCOID will address the association on next Monday evening. Subject "Battle for Bread."

Tin Wedding.--Mr. & Mrs. J. C. SNODGRASS celebrated their Tin Wedding on last Tuesday evening. Quite a large party of guests were present, and the entertainment was of the most social and agreeable kind. Among the presents were articles useful, unique and grotesque, and presented
quite an array of tin-ware. We join in the hope expressed by all present, that as they have happily enjoyed their tenth anniversary wedding equally joyous may be all their days until they celebrate their diamond wedding, which we trust they may happily reach.
