account of a wedding which recently
took place in the neighborhood of Pitts
burg:-"On the end inst. Squire Miller
magistrate in the borough ofTarentum,
in this county, went TO the house Of a
man living Eve miles back in that place,
according TO previous arrangement to
marry a couple. He arrived at the ap-
pointed time, and finding no preparation
fer q wedding, he began TO think hewas
hoaxed. He consequently went to a
field where man was plooghipg to see
what was wrong. On his arrival, the
man stopped his plough, saying he would
see if she was coming; and after walk
ing few steps, with his eyes fixed on a
little Hill at ashort distance, they saw a
beautiful girl of about sixteen descend
ing the heights, and vending her way
towards them. 1t was she; on her arri-
val they were united in matrimony on
the spot, and he went on with his piow-.

A New Upper Lip.

"A new upper Lip has been given to
young man in Hartford, who was de-
prived of one by an. accident, when a
boy. This nice surgical operation was
performed by DR.. Ellsworth. The
Hartford Courier says the new one is
handsomely formed:
'Itseems, the material had been taken
from the cheeks on each side; and al
though the operation was extensive and
extremely severe, yet so perfect IS the
union that scarcely scar can be seen,
none extending beyond the outer side
of the nostrils; and upon the red facing
ofthe lip, no eye can detect the point OF
connection between the two halves
The lip is really handsome one, quite
equal to the best cures Of hair lip, and
better than any We have ever seen. No
one would ever suspect that it had tray-
elled from the cheeks TO its present To-
cation, which it graces as well as the orr
ginaI, except perhaps that it has not
quite as free and easy motion, although
enough for all common purposes"
