the fireman was very severely cut and scald-

endangering the lives of passengers.
The grade being very heavy, the train was
running at a slow rate which doubtless saved
many lives.

A. WEDDING IN CHuRcH.-Our town

experienced one of those periodical excite
ments which set the fashionable world in A
ilutter and interest all ages, sccts. and per
suasions. in the rare occurrence of a We'd
ding in church, on Thursday evening last.
The happy couple %tre Mr.. Vim. r. Mel
son and Miss Mary A. Jones, both of Elk
ton. As the affair was to be attended with
some ceremony and the bride very richly
dressed, and no restrictions on witncssin.
the ceremony, the throng of curious spccta-
tors began to assemble in the yard of the NJ.
+. church at clock in the evening The
ceremony was to take place at 8! o clock,
and the doors Of the church were not opened
till eight.
| BY this time dense crowd was assembled
in front of the main entrance to the church,
which reached back across the yard to the
street, composed of all ages and sexes.-
When at length the doors were opened the
impatient masses that had been shivering in
the frosty air, many of them foran hour and
half, made Il rush for the building, and
woe to crnoline and millinery that then en-
sued. The crash to this unsubstan3ial fab
ric of the sex was fearful, enlivened by the
screams of some of the smaller specimens
of humanity, who were threatened with the
fate of being either crushed to death in the
squeeze, or thrown down and having their
lives trampled out by the multitude of feet
passing irresistibly over them. Without any
serious accident, however, the throng enter
ed the church and were in short time all
comfortably seated.
AT the appointed time, halfpast eight. the
bridal party arrived, and moved slowly up
the aisle toward the altar, the target of
thousand eyes. The groomsnan and brides
maid were H. r. Torbert, Esq, and Miss
Ihoe. The bridesmaid was dressed in a white
| Tarlton and her appearance elected remarks
of general admiration. The centre of attrac-
ton. however, was the bride, who was dress
ed in Il magnificent white satin. with pointed
bodice, large flowing sleeves. trimmed with
lace, and Il trail Il yard in length rolled in
pearly folds behind her satin slippered feet
| Enveoped in an illusion veil, fastened to her
hair with bunch of orange blossoms, and
leaning on the arm of the brideg groom elect,
she moved solemnly up the aisle where the
Rev. j. ID. Curtis stood in readiness to unite
| for better, for worse.
The ceremony was performed with ring.
| and when the moment arrived for the groom
to place the golden circet on the finger of the
bride, her maid of honor raised the floating
veil and presented the finger to receive the
signet pledge. The solemn words with
this ring do thee we'd, prayer and bene-
diction were pronounced, and the twain were
one flesh.
