For aome time before tbe appointed hour

Exchange Hotel, where tbe wedding was
celebrated, was crowded with tbe friends of
tbe bappy couple. After a short delay tbe
bride and groom, accompanied by their rel
atives, entered tbe parlor of tbe hotel pre
paratory to tbe ceremony. The bride was
plainly dressed In white muslin; an elegant
white lace veil in which was entwined
beautiful orange blossoms fresh Irom their
native grovea In tbe eunoy South, formed
tbe bridal wreath, and well befitted tbe
baodtome bride. The bridesmaid, Miss
Glancy, was also very neatly dressed lu

GASfl. EXl'IiOSilO.V.
THREE MEN FATALLY AND TWO
OTHERSDANGEROTJSLY INJURED
St. Pktxrsbcrq, Pa., August 5, 1872.
A fearlul gas explosion took place this
morning at half past eight o'clock, in Ibe
new well being drilled on tbe Scboup farm,
otroed by Scboup, Jackson A Co., by which
Ave men, Measrs. Nelson Venaelle, Mort.
Franks, Alex. McGee, Scboup and Matth
ews, were abocklngly and perhaps lattally
burned. Tbe cause of tbe accident la not
fully known, but is supposed to Lava been
caused by a spark from tbe boiler.
Three of tbe men died this evening. Nel
son Venaelle, Mr. Scboup and Alex. McGee.
The other two are In a Very critical condi
tion and their reoovery seems doubtful
Tbe families of the dtoeased and injured
ones have tbe sympathies of tbe whole com
munity. Special to Pittsburgh Commer
cial.
We learn from Mr. Vlo Gretter that
another one of the men, Mort. Franks, died
shortly after Ibe first three, and that Mat.
Tbora, tbe fifth man la not likely to live. I1
seems that Jackson, one of the owners o
the well, told tbe other men of tbeir danger
and charged them to leave the derrick.
Venaelle said they would stay long enough
to draw the tools out, which they bad torn
menced to do when the exploleiwn occurred
aa above stated.
For.tcc.-TbU morning, a warrant was
Issued by Justice Reynolds for the arreet of
Sylvester Evans, tbe man alluded to- In the
poisoning affair, charging blm with malio-
lous mischief and assault and battery. He
was arrested by officer Atwell and placed In
tbe lockxup to await an examination. It is
to be hoped that Justice Reynolds will In
flict tbe full penalty of tbe law in this case,
Community baa no use for men who have no
better business than knookiog down defense
less women with chairs, the only plea for
such sport being Ibat tbey (the women) ;are
nothing but prostitutes, and only deserving
of suoh cruel treatment, as it they were not
ospable tf feeling, and worse than brutes.
No matter bow degraded a woman may be
come tbe law' will extend a protecting arm
against tbeir be.iog beaten and maimed by
chairs aud such lufco articles, and all done
fur fun.

Tbey bad grown up together, la the fnl

Tbey bad eaten each other's mod pies, taken

over each otbet'a ink bottles, sopped up the
ink with tbeir mutual handkerchiefs, ''told''
ofeacbotber In about equal proportions,
and "Made up" in n common exuberance o
sobs and sassafras. Tbey bad played aa
lovers behind tbe woodpile, been married
by tbe piece speaker, been divorced by tbe

peat swamp at regular intervals, as far back
as tbeir memory extended. Sbe bad blue

and she blushed like a May flower. It

to be going borne with her brother. In an.
other year, when be went to St. David's Col'

crimp her hair, , and said nothing waa the
matter. So, of course, when be ctme home
on bis first vaoation, it all happened aa It
could not very well help happening to the
end of all young things' dreaming, or old
one's warning. Sbe sat in tho chair in. a
blue dress .with while spots, with a pink
bonnet and pink cheeks, and tang In a very
tweet little country voice that quivered and
burled about tbe pillars of tbe tunny white
meeting house like Incense in an open field

you might not. He, grown rattier tail
rather quiet, with long'balr, and tbe un
mittekable St. Davld't tbawl, tat below in
bit lalber'a new box and listened. On
Sunday it cbanced that tbe Rev. Mr. Love,
the recently tettiea ana very popular shep
herd of tbe "meeting house," felt moved in
tbe spirit to preach to bia flock a sermon
upon Christian amity, and to tuggett at itt
most fitting musical accompaniment, hymn
867 of tbe "Sweet Singer of Israel" (just In
troduced.) Ah, you excellent mothers
with washing days on your minds, and ye,
excellent fathers, struggling to keep your
faith under lbs discovery of Tom's first ci
gar, do you never suspect lu your stupid,
good hearts, the tears of solid comfort rolling
loto your spectacles at you ting, and your
soul aglow with ail tbe bidden meaning ol
fellowship in tbe one Master whom tbey
wbo love not never know do you never
suspect tbe flirtations conducted over Ibat
admirable hymn? It may be very much
too bad', but it it very much the case. It is
q il'e at bad in roe to suggest tbe taroilege to
your youog people. Bless your indignant
soul, tbey stand In need of no suggestion
Ask tbem. I do not deny that it ia atroc
ious in me to spoil tbe hymn for, you; but
that is soother matter. Sbe then, In ber
blue and white dress, with a sunbeam ttrug'
gling through a little ground glass gallery
window upon ber pink bonnet, tang:
Blest be tbe tie that binds
Our bearta m Christian love;
Tbe lellowtbip of kindred minda
Is like to that above.
It atruck blm that ber voice wat less like

which is a very good fancy, by the way
and be would make a note ol it against

Our fears, our hopes, out aimt are one,
Our comfortt and our caret,
faltered tbe little silver voice, and so tinkled
into this: .
