The innumerable friends of the Rev Henry
Ward Beecher would hardly forgive us, if we
were to omit mentioning the pleasing incident
that occurred athls country residence at Peeks.
kill, last week. On Wednesday morning, at
ter the dew was dry, Mr. Beecher chose a spot
under the shadows of the trees near his gar
den, where, in the presence of fit circle of
friends and neghbors, he gave away his ooly
daughter in a novel ceremony of marriage.
The beauty Of the day, and the beauty of the
ceremony together, rendered the scene singu
larly charming, tender, and impressive.
No guests were previously invited, except
relatives and household companions, owing to
the impossibiliiy OF accommodating. in mod
crate country town. 50 many acquaintance as
famous special contribution has the fortune 10
possess But among the chance guests. whose
presence added not the least picturesque tea
ture to the scene, were the workmen Of Mr.
b. farm, who stood MS witnesses in the field
dressed in their best.
Was ever such a church or dwelling for
wedding ceremony? The Highlands sweut
their glorious walls around the north and west:
gracefully sloping hills shut in the east and
south; the heavens above were clear as crys.

SYMPATHY FROM SwGTzERLAND.-The ex-
president of the republic Of Switzerland who
is now a member OF the federal council, writes
10 this country as follows eve watch here
with great solicitude the progress of the seces
sion war (Sonderbundskiieg)- "a war; if not
successfully checked by the patriots OF the
north, which may assume most formidable
aspect II is true that the army with which
the north confronts secession may appear i'm
posing even 10 the south; nevertheless, when
the avalanche is once fairly in motion, it is too
late to Illustrate its formation, and gathering
in its devastating course of vast proportions
sweeps resistlessly onward, regardless of every
obstacle, until striking some mountain wall OF
rock (Felseuward), 1t is dashed into fragments
and rendered harmless TO many peaceful and
happy valley home, upon which twould have
otherwise brought ruin and misery. May God
the Almighty protect the republic"

From THE WEsT.-Those of us who have
received particular descriptions OF the sad con-
dition of our western soldiers, will not require
further stimulus in Fastening forward comforts
for their relief 1t may be useful to give an
extract from a recent letter, written by a lady
actively engaged in carrying relief into camps
and hospitals at the west. She writes II have
been finishing shirts to day Sunday for the
wounded men at ST. Louis, some of whom
were brought in seventeen days after the bat
tie at Springfield, in the same shirts they wore
on that fatal day /" and adds. "Was it not an
appeal to fingers and needles 2" Let il be So
to ours. 1t has been suggested that the vaue
of packages sent TO our soldiers would be en-
HANGED by afiixing name, and also the town
from which they are sent, thus stamping ind
yidualiy upon them. Many have gone out
from our county to make new homes in the

The NEW YORK REGIMENTs.-The mea.
sures in Pennsylvania TO prevent enlistments
in that state for regiments in other states,
appear to have been taken in consequence of
the operations OF recruiting officers from New
York. 1t is a fact that ought not to escape
notice, that large proportion of the men Tn.
listed into New York regiments, are from
other states Among them are from 1900 to
1000 Massachusetts men. Some of our people
have gone to New York regiments by COM
panies, and Il great many otherwise. From
$50 to 300 Germans have gone to New York
regiments from Boston and other places in
this state. a large number of Irishmen have
gone, and native born citizens in every part of
the state have done the same. New York
recruiting officers have operated busily in
Rhode Island, Connecticut, and other states
and in Pennsylvania their proceedings have
been 50 extensive and successful as to provoke
the measures against them to which we have
made reference. Meanwhile the interior
counties Of New York have not come forward
as actively as they should and New York re-
eruiiing officers ought TO explore them more
carefully than they have done.

BURGLARY IN NoRTHBoKo'.-The store in
Northboro occupied by Penniman & Co., was
broken into on Wednesday night. An en-
trance was effected by boring out the lock, and
was evidently done by one acquainted with
the size of the lock. The burglars took 1856
pairs of shoes, and other articles, valued at
$50. There was man and also a dog in the
store on tile night of the robbery, but it seems
they did not prove very effective guardians of
the property.

From The Philadelphia North American
Our EDickets Over the River.

A curious item OF history was made by the
Eighth Regiment of Pennsylvania Reserves,
this day week. while on picket duty at Great
Falls. The rebel pickets came on to the edge
of the river and invited ours over to spend a
social half hour The invitation was accepted,
and during the remainder of the day over a
hundred of our men crossed over and about
forty of the rebels returned the compliment.
Some very amusing stories of the days pro-
ceedings are told. Among the rebel visitors
to our camp were two captains and several
lieutenants, who, upon leaving in the evening,
cut of the buttons from their coats and pre-
scented them to our men as mementoeS of their
visit. They ate and drank together and rs
the story goes, chad good time generally"
Nearly all of these rebels Were badly off for
shoes, and their uniform, which was poor, was
made oil ''nigger cloth" They stated that
they had no heart in this struggle, but they
supposed it must be fought out. One, Capt.
Weaver, of Berkeley county, Va, was particu
larly affectionate to one OF the captains OF the
eighth but parted with the promise to kill him
when they met in battle array. Colonel Hays
extraordinary statement, was win MS rbg1t
ment at the time, but was not present during
the interviews between his men and those OF
the enemy. As the latter were retiring, how
ever, lie was espied al little distance of by
one of the lieutenanls, who accosted him with
"How dye do, Colonel; wouldn't you like
to be home with your family this blessed Sab
bath ~ The colonel had just time to reply,
Not unless you rebels were properly disposed
OF, before the party was back again across the
river. Since then there has been no picket
shooting in that vicinity, and the friendly in
tercourse of courtesies has, il il said had
good effect in the neighboring sections OF V.
glnla. The experiment was, nevertheless, one
OF very doubtful propriety, and ought not to
be repeated
