Tuesday, at high noon, the home of' Mr. and .Mrs. William Ritter, Rail-1 road street, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, when Rev. S. 15. Evans, pustor of St. Paul's M. E. church, pronounced the words that! joined their accomplish daughter, Lizzie G., into a life partnership with Mr. Edward C. Dielil, a popular young man of this city. The bride, who was handsomely gowned in Alice blue landsdowne.and the groom, in the conventional black, stepped into the presence of some fifty especially invited guests, unattended, while Mrs.'Emma Woods rendered j the wedding march from Lohengriu. ! After the ceremony and a round of best wishes and congratulations ex tended, a fine dinner was spread and all present did eat of such a feast as would do justice to royalty. At 2:11 o'clock tho happy couple, amid a shower of rice, boarded the D. L. & W. train for a tour to Wilkes-Barre < and Scranton. The bride is a highly esteemed and • popular lady, and a very successful , music instructor, being for a number j of years pianist in the St. Paul's M.i E. Suuday school, from which or ganization she received as a token of! love for her very faithful services, | two handsome rocking chairs. Many other useful and valuable presents. were received. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Diehl, of Mahoning town ship, aud is well and favorably known, being the popular assistant at Shan non's meat market. , They will return home Saturday and take up housekeeping on Suubury ; street, South Danville, where a newly furnished house awaits them.

Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re ceive a male visitor, auil they rarely accompauy him to the door. For a Spaniard to give a lady—even his wife— his arm when out walking is looked upou as a decided violation of propriety. Conspicuous among the adornments of the bridal feast iu Brittauy is an artistic aud elaborate butter structure, as fanciful and elegaut as the most beautiful bridal cake, aud into this structure the guests stick split sticks bearing coins of gold or silver. A curious custom is observed in certain districts of Spain in regard to betrothals. A young man who de sires to win the hand of any damsel calls on het parents for three succes sive days at the same hour of the day.

There is a curious legend In regard to Deadman's place, Southwark, Loudon.

The Volcanic formation Alonir th« Course of Fall River. Nature Is full of strange freaks, and her agents—rains, storms, winds and even dust—produce results that might ■ often be mistaken for the works of , human hands, though frequent!}* on a colossal scale. Volcanic activities are mighty fac tors, and through them some wonder ful phenomena are wrought. One of : these may be seen along the course of Fall river, in northern California. Thia stream is of considerable size, and tha work of nature's gigantic forces may be seen between the upper and lower cascades of tho river. It is what might properly be called a "volcanic dike." This dike extends for some distance along Fall river, near its banks and nearly parallel to i the course. It bears close resemblance i to a roughly constructed wall. The ! top of this dike is very ragged aud tho height of varying altitudes. In some places it 1b twenty feet high and several feet in thickness, and again may be easily clambered over. The rock of which this wall of nature is com posed Is of a very porous character, bearing some resemblance to pumice stone, though much more solid and of . greater specific gravity. I That entire region is of volcanic orl ! gin and evidently was once the scene of great eruptive activity. Scoria and | lava abound, though the face of the ' country is now thickly clad with timber and brush. The dike begins and ends abruptly. ' The wall of the dike is evidently the ! result of volcanic forces, and has no doubt stood for many centuries. It stands clear from clinging rocks, has I a narrow foundation, with vertical walls, and Is very straight. Tho mys tery is what forces of nature could have piled up or left standing this rock formation so uniform. This dike has puzzled not a few geologists who I have visited and examined It.—Ameri can Inventor. A FIERCE MERMAN. ' Brand of Marine Monater Virginia Sported In 1U76. I B. H.

It is, in brief, a pam phlet communicated to the Royal so ciety in 1070 by one Thomas Glover, "an ingenious Chirurgion," who had lived for some years In the province. Mr. Glover would seem to have reckou | ed the sea serpent among the Inhablt- I ants of the colony to judge from the j minute accuracy of the following de | scrlption: j 41 A most prodigious Creature, much j resembling a man, only somewhat lar- I ger, etandiug right up In the water with his head, neck, shoulders, breast and wast, to the cubits of his arms, above water; his skin was tawny, much like that of an Indian; the figure of his head was pyramidal, and slick, without hair, his eyes large and black, and so were his eyebrows; his moutli very wide, with a broad, black streak 1 on the upper lip, which turned upward at each end like moustachoes; his coun tenance was grim and terrible; his neck, shoulders, arms, breast and wast were like unto the neck, arms, shoul ders, breast and wast of a man; his hands, If he had any, were under wa ter. lie seemed to stand with his eyes fixed on me for some time, and after ward dived down, and a little after ris eth at somewhat a farther distance and turned his head toward me again, and then Immediately falleth a little under water and swlmmeth away so near tlie top of the water that I could discern , him throw out his arms and gather them in as a man doth when he swlm meth. At last he shoots with his head downward, by which means he cast tayl above the water, which exactly re sembled the tayl of a fish, with a broad fane at the end of it." HANDEL'S OBSTINACY. in Incident of the Great Mualclan'j Childhood Dayn. A child's obstinacy does not always ' bring us fortunate results as was the ?ase with Handel, the great musician. His extraordinary resoluteness as a boy doubtless led to that great success which crowned the luter years of his Ufe. When he wns some seven years of age his father had occasion to visit A BOH by a former wife, who was valet to the Dulce of Snxe Welssenfeto. Traveling In those days—2oo years ago —was tedious and expensive, and Dr. Handel did not desire to be delayed with the care of an "infant" during a journey which the demands of a re sponsible profession would probably make as short as possible. Rut the futnre giant of music would go. lie cried, bellowed and eventually ran along the road after the vehicle, until the tender feelings of the doctor could refuse no longer, in an evil mo ment for his Jurisprudence scheme be took the child >yltb him. No sooner did the little fellow reach the ducal residence tlinn he gave rein to his fancy on the keys of every In strument that he found open. The re markable music that came from the Anger tips of the child's hands was soon the object of wonder and conver sation throughout the palace, and all this was Intensified when he secured an opportunity of touching the keys of the chancel organ within the hearing of the duke. Bucb a throb started from that chap el organ when little Handel's tendrlled fingers chose the keys, and the soul of the duke was touched as It never bad been touched before—truly a momen tous occurrence, since but for It Han del's sacred music might never bavt been written. The duke's attention having been ar rested, he Inquired of Dr. Hundel con cerning the child's future, and eventu ally succeeded In placing him for three years' study under Zacliau, the organ ist of Halle cathedral. This was the be ginning of-Handel's musical education. An Indicator. "But, doctor," asked the young prac titioner, "why do you always order champagne for every new patient that i comes to you?"

The Writer Claims Ihe 2d Penn'a Heavy Artillery Numbered 3,- 300 Men of the Rank and Fife, the Largest, With One decep tion, in the War for the Union, and When It Fnti-red the Wil derness Was Taken for .. Di vision or a Brigade. Danvillk, Pa., March 27, 1900. Editor Intei.i.igexc;ek : It was during the Civil War, in the year 1864, when the Second Heavy Artillery was guarding the Bermuda Front, on the banks of tin' Appomatox river, that the write: was asked by tin! Sanitary Comtnis sion to trade newspapers with the enemy. Having consented we wert furnished a copy of the "Philadel phia Inquirer," and filling our haver sack chock full of hard tack jumped over the rifle pits and started up the Port Tobacco railroad, nil the while the pickets keeping watch that no ad vantage was taken in the deal. Just previous to this a paper was waved from the Confederate breast works when our side quickly responded, which meant that the trade was on. About midway we met a Johnny Rob, asjtough alookii g cusi oilier US ever de fended the Stars and Bars. His haversack was filled to the brim with elegant leaf smoking tobacco. WT exchanged a few words aud then ex changed papers, (his was a "Rich raond WHIG,") hard tack and bacco. My opponent, seemed delight ed to get the bread, as it was said the Rebel ration at this time was it lniud full of corn meal and a pinch of sal a day. To be candid, I was frighten ed at the big, fierce looking fellow, thinking, perhaps, he might have a I revolver or a knife secreted about his person, and use one or the other while I was filling my haversack with tobacco. But everything in the dicker was fair and square, and we parted to meet no more on this mundane sphere. Returning to camp the boys were delighted at the stock of the weed, and when all who desired help ed themselves to a liberal quantity, ' and soon the air was filled with smoke. I then hurried to deliver the "Richmond Whig" to the Sanitary Com mi.-.-ion, knowing full well that there would be some recompense for the risk and danger connected with the trip between the antogonistic lines. Of course the gentlemen of the humane institution were delighted at receiving the news of the situation iu rebeldom, and offered us anything in their line which consisted of Jama ica jinger, canned quail, soap, towel etc., and as long as the good things to eat lasted we were in clover, bu alas, it was not long until AD k and "dried salt-horse" were ag.ii.i on rations, and which were relished with a gusto. But even army food was considered excellent by the soldiers, many of whom were not as well satis fied at their home firesides iu the North while clustered around the dear old festive board. In fact Uncle Sam cared well for his defenders, even better than any nation on the lace of the globe. And there was always enough and to spare, especially when we were in camp for any length of time. When breaking camp at Ber muda, preparatory to marching tri umphantly into the evacuated city of Petersburg, hundreds of codfish were scattered over the ground — thrown away because of there being more thau was needed. How many comrades of the Sec ond Heavy cau recall to memory the evening we crossed the pontoon bridge at Harrison's Landing OTF the James river, after the terrible battle of Fort Burnham, named in honor of the general by that name, who was Killed . there, and where our regiment alone lost 200 in killed, wounded and miss- | ing ? It was an event I for one can I never forget. The day was cold, while the ground was covered with j several inches of slush— snow and water — which soon penetrated the I spongy government shoes, soaking I the leather to the skin. The com mand had no sooner reached the top ! of the embankment when I met Com , rade G. W. Edgar, whose regiment i was supporting Redoubt Carpenter. | George had beeu out foraging and j confiscated a feather bed, upon which J I had the pleasure of resting my weary head that night, and in the moruitig served me with a breakfast I that was cooked in a "go-for hole", dug six or seven feet below the sur face of the ground as a place of safety when shells were flying thick and fast from a battery over the way. The menu consisted of "McClellan Pies" — hard tack soaked over night and fried in lard rendered from dried salt pork from the side of the hog. Later in the day we marched back to oitr old stamping place on the banks of the Appomatox river, where we re mained until the rebels retreated from Petersburg. Richard W.

NCW VOW« CITY. JOINED BY DOG IN OCEAN GRAVE Col!!e L"ups Overboard After Little PlH>m>ite*s Body at Sea. New York, March 27 —A pathetic incident of dog devotion was related today by officers of the steamship Columbia, just in from Glasgow. Among the passengers were Andrew Maciinnaid and his wife, who left Glasgow accompanied by their 4-year old daughter Alary. The child was ill, and an ocean voyage had been recommended by her physician. Be fore sailing Mary insisted that her pet \ collies, Diiisy and Ben, be taken j along. On Tuesday the child became worse, and early Wednesday morning she died. ' 1 lie ship's stewards say tilat til d > ineii to Uiiow that something uas wrong with their liilie unstress, for they howled dismally after her death, and tugged at the ehains holding them in tbeir quarters I i. deek. Bhortly after daybreak i wiu de- Itd to bury 'lie the.. - bum. The tiny corpse \ut- biouglu on deck, and, while a lew passengers aud ship's ollicers stood by bareheaded, it was shoved over the rail. Because of the child's love for Daisy and Ben, the pets were Iwought on deck while the burial service was read. As the small burden was dropped from the rail Daisy broke loose aud leaped after the body of her playmate. Ben strained at his strap aud howled so frantically that he had to be dragged below. When last seen the faithful collie was swimming in circles over the spot where little Mary's body had sunk.
