A WOTABLB STENT AT WILCOX.
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. .

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.

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.
