On Wednesdar, Aug. 27th, 1879, th house of J; L. Brown, Esq:, - was penad to inrltod guests to witness the marriage of Miss Lura M. Brown, eldest daughter of J. L. Brown, of Wilcox, to Mr. E. O. Latta, of Friend hip, N. Y. The time appointed fo'r the ceremony was 11 A. M. and long be fore the hour the gueste had assembled to the number of sixty persons. About half-riant eleven the bridesmaid and grooinsmatii Miss Emma Brown, sis ter of the bride, and Mr. Ada Latta, brother of the groom, took their places In the parlor followed by the bride and groom who took position directly u rider a suspended liorseshoe made of flowers. The Rev. Larupe, pastor of the Reformed Church, of Wilcox, proceed to unite the happy couple in the silken bands of wedlock, At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly married couple received the congratu lations of their friends and company. After which they all sat5down to a dinner gotten up by Mrs. Brown which is a sufficient guarantee that it could not' have' been better, at least that was the unanimous decision of the company. After' dinner came the viewing of the presents of which there Was a large and elegant variety, which we itemize for-the benefit of those not present'. ' As the time rolled around for the 3:08 traltl the company escorted Mr. and Mrs. Latta to the depot, after throwing the traditional slipper after them as they were' leaving the house, and Wishing them a long, happy, and prosperous Journey through life. They are taking an extended trip around to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, over through the Canadas, around by Syra cuse, N. Y. and Friendship, N. Y., and' will return to Wilcox in about four weeks. They will then take their final departure for their new home at Friendship, N. Y. It is useless to attempt a description of the dress of the ladies present, suffice it to say that the bride was beautifully and tastefully attired iu white brocade silk and other material, better kuowu to tbe ladies than any oue else, with long bridal Veil, white kids, Ac. The bridesmaid was attired in white and looked, as the girls say, 'loo sweet for anything'' except a bride. The bridegroom was dressed in black, with white vest, necktie, ind kids, and appeared to good advantage. The groomsman was dressed in black. The ladies were dressed principally in black silk, there being seventeen black silk dresses present; a few wore shaded silks, cashmeres and while, in all -a very richly and tastefully .dressed company. And uow.as Ripv'anWinkle would say, "Here is to their gooder health of themselves, their children's and their families and may they all live live long and prosper, and now I swear off." Yours. . H. .

Railroad was rounding the curve just this side of Irvineton, it came upon a man walk ing on the track, and so close that the train could not be stopped. The en gine struck him in the back and threw him with terrible force some distance. As soon as possible the train was stopped and the train men went to his assistance. He was picked up insen sible and brought to this station, and carried to the Revere House. Drs. Stewart and Stranahan were called and examined him, finding that he bad sustained severe injuries in the back, his right leg fractured near the hip, and his skull fractured over tbe right eye. His Injuries were treated as best they could be, but It is not thought that he can recover. His name is John Zimmerly, aged 65 years, and deaf. He had been to Youngs ville for a physician to see hia wife, and was on bis way home when struck by the engine. Being deaf be did n-1 hear, tbe train, and of course had no notice of its coming .until it struck him. ' He is at the Revere House now. Warren Ledycr.

From the Look Haven Dalljr Journal. in the neighborhood of F. r. mo Closkey'a place in Woodward town ship. Not long since our readers will remember that hia house was robbed, and s. few nights afterward a second attempt was made, when Miss Louisa Gross shot the robber and Inflicted a wound,, as blood found on the grass next morning showed. No special effort having been made to catch the desperado, it seems that the wounded man had determined to have revenge on Miss Gross. Mr. McCloskey Is a huckster, and last Saturday being market day, Miss Gross got up at about half-past two to get breakfast. Mr. McCloskey went to the barn in the meantime, fed his horse and returned to the bouse and ate breakfast. About four he loaded bis wagon with Miss Gross' assistance. After finishing, she returned to enter the house, and while passing the kitchen window, from which shone a bright light, a pistol shot was heard, and Miss G. felt a strauga sensation in the breast. ' After entering the house she made an examination, and discov ered that the ball had struck a button of her dress, splitting it, and making quite an abrasion of the skin. She Immediately notified Mr. McCloskey and, two gentlemen who had been stopping there over night, and the party armed themselves and started in pursuit. A thorough search of the premises was made but nobody was found. . It is supposed that the would-be murderer hid himself behind the bake oven, and from there drew a deadly bead .upon his intended victim, who was only saved by a button. . .It is high time that tliis matter was looked up. If robbers are permitted to plunder at will aud then kill the par ties whom they robbed because of mak ing a justifiable defense extraordinary measures shout be taken. . Horrible Bailroad Accident. On Monday morning last about 9:45 o'clock as "pushing" engine No. 1030 was backing through town when ap proaching the St. Michael street cross ing, struck Mrs. Margaret Hans, knocking her under the tender, and the engine passed over her, killing her instantly. Her head was crushed al most beyond recognition, and other parts of her body were terrible man gled. Mrs Hans was about 84 years old and was quite deaf. It was rain ing at the time, and it is supposed her umbrella, which was raised at the time, prevented her seeing the ap proaching engine. Neither the en gineer or fireman saw her before or after she was struck, and passed on to Ridgway unconscious of the accident. An inquest was held upon the body by Esq. Burke, who acted as coroner, summoning the following gentlemen who were sworn as jurors: Geo. Wel denboeruer, John Krug, Anthony SchaUer, John Keller, Geo, Hat horn, and Jos. A. Hanhauser. Tbe sitting of the inquest attracted a large crowd of people. The evidence elicited proved that the engine at the time of the ucqident was running at the rate of four miles an hour, aud that the bell of the engine was ringing at tbe time. After hearing the evidence of a num ber of witne.-mes.the jury retired for de liberation, and returned with the following verdict : "That the said Mrs. M. Hans, while crossing the Pliila. and Erie railroad track at the St. Michael street cross ing in St. Mary's borough, on Mon day August the 25th 1879, was struck by the Pennsylvania railroad com pany's locomotive engine No. 1030, and thereby run over aud instantly killed, and further that engineer Tim othy Tierney, and fireman J a red M. Mccuru are exonerated from any and all blame, in the matter, but we are of tbe opinion that the Penna. Railroad company should keep a watchman at all times at suld railroad crossing. St. Mary's Gazette. While Mr. Smith Manning o Westfield, Tioga county, was on his way from Elkland with a loaded wagon, one of the horses baulked, when Mr. M. struck the animal a blow with a whip. Iu return the horse kicked, striking Manning full in the face, which broke his upper jaw in three places; the lower jaw was also broken, and every tooth knocked out. Little hopes were expressed of bis re covery at last accounts. The Supreme Court of the State of New York has decided that J. C.
