R'hy some people should celiber- ately commit themselves to in.ttri- rnuuy, only to ,ta)end the remainder of their lives in posing before tt.c world as celibates remains one of the mysteries of life. And illustrat- ing incicontally rho adage about raining comes a number of such re- velations, which, by coincidence, have occurred ultnost sinrultar t usly in England, the facts in the cases being usually uncovered by the death of one of the contracting parties. For more than a generation John Ratty and a Mims Jackson lived nt opposite ends of the same small vil- la;.,° in the north of Yorkshire. 'rimy rarely spoke to each other. and on the few occasions when they met they treated each other with old lasthionea courtesy and with the re- serve becoming to an old bachelor and a maiden lady. Mr. Batty. who had then reached the ripe old ago of 80. recently died, and when the contents of his will became known they furnished such food for gossip as the village had not known with- in living memory. Mr. Ratty, who had always been regarded by his neighbors as the -most crusty of baoholors and al- most as A WOMAN HATER, left all his estate to "toy lawful wife(Antiie, commonly known as Miss Jackson, of Rose cottage, In this village, to whom I was married in the city of York (,)n Aug. 9, 1849; but who, for reasons which need not be explained, has never lived with use or been known as my wife." About the same time Henry It. Curwen died in a Northumberland village, in which he had lived for more than thirty years. Although he was a man of consitterublo for- tune he lived In a small cottage, at- tended only by one man sertlnnt as old and eccentric as hie a(elf; and so strong was his aversion to the fair .sex that during the whole period of his life in the village he was never once known to speak to a woman. There was naturally 'h speoulu- tion as to the reason for such a strange aversion, but the secret was only revealed on his death, when ho .bequeathed an annuity of $500 "to my wife. on the same conditions as those under which she has enjoyed it during my lifetime -namely: that. she shall newer come within a hun- dred utiles of ate, dead or alive." "'This was the first intimation his neighbors had that' he was a mar- ried nutn; for ho had invariably posed not Duey ns n Imchelor but as •8 man whom nothing could induce even to contemplate matrimony.

The death of a well known county gentlemen in the Midlands had nn almost equally dramatic sequel. it was common knowledge that some years before his only sun and heir had fallen in love with the daughter of a tradesman in the neighboring village; but his father had so btrongly opposed the match -- evert to the extent of sending his son sway for a year-thnt it was con- cluded the romance had long since conte to it conclusion, especially ns the young tnan seemed to Ignore the exist. nee of his former Indy love.

THE SPOILS OF A WRECK DRUNKEN• ORGY ON THE COAST OF ENGLAND. Wreck Near Mouth of Mersey - Shores Strewn With Fruit and Wine. About a fortnight ago the steamer Ullon, bound for Liverpool from Spain with a cargo of Spanish wines and oranges and various kinds of fruit, went ashore upon one of the many sandbanks in the mouth of tho Mersey, about a (}Tarter of a mile from the Wallasey shore. On Thursday night hist a heavy storm arose, and broke up the fore part of the cargo. The wind blew ashore about 300 CAWS 01 oranges, and numerous boxes of raisins, leptons, figs, and ((ions, together with five 100 -gallon casks of port wino. Towards Friday evening the villag- ers turned out to view the debris left on their shores by the receding tide. Many of the cases of fruit had been burst open by the force of the waves, and the shore for ales was covered with rich -colored fruits, the prevail- ing tone of which was a bright or- ange. As the sun began to sink in the west its departing rays caught the wet surfaces of the oranges, and a spectacle of the most dazzling brightness was the result. 'PAT'T'ING THE CASKS. As night drew on, and as fear of detection was reduced to a mini- mum, the villagers crept out of the dunes, silently appropriated the cases of oranges, and carried or dragged them home. All night long small boys labored through the quaint streets under the burden of bags of oranges, laying up stores of enjoyment for weeks to come. Tho denouement wns reached when t ho first brave man approached n cask of port with a bottle in hand. Itogardless of excise officers and coastguards alike, ho soon punctured the side of tho cask with a gimlet and slowly filled his bottle. His example was quickly followed by others, and the casks were pierced with nunIerous small hole:, from which spurted streams of tempting liquor, Some filled butt lee, 801110 sucked at the holes. Presently this mode of tapping became too slow. The bungs were extracted, and out pour- ed copious streams of red wine. Bucket and lading cans were pro- cured, and men were seen trudging home carrying the wine in buckets as carelessly as if it had been water from the pump. 110'Ii'LKS FAILED. Bottles fn the village were 80011 at a premium. 81 Spence and a shilling inch were given for empty (whiskey bottles, and the owners unshed them ovt with the port before refilling them.

The product of the household churn above described has the flavor of fresh dairy butter, which ono com- monly seeks in vain.
