Funny Incident.

The Chicago Journal tells the following
good one: W sF
A gentleman who was recently united in
the bonds of matrimony to the lovely daugh-
ter of one of our most respectable citizens,
received just before the ceremony gift OF a
500 bill frem his papa.in-law, as trife of
''pin money" for his wife. He slipped the
bill under his glove, where he had already
placed S. bill intended for the officiating
clergyman. In the delirous excitement OF
the hour, he pressed into the hand OF the
minister the wrong bill and as the parties
never looked at the money on such occa-
sions, neitherof them discovered the mistake
till some hours afterward. What was the
surprise of the bride when hel husband
handed her a IS bill with the remark that il
was little pin money" from her father. =
II sheuld think it was a little, ( said the la
dy; and then the mistake came out. Neither
bride nor groom would of course be so dis
courteous as to think Of claiming restitution
of such an error, at such a time, and the
clergyman was overpowered with the liber.
ality of young -" The lady told the
''funny incident to friend or two, howev
er, and the clergyman understandsit now.

BRiDGEPoRT, ALA, March 8, 1864.
Editor Chronicle Sir: From some gem
erous donor L received copy of your lively
and patriotic paper, and to an old resident
of your county it awakened recollections
that were pleasing. 1t behooves a soldier
to stihe the memories that are sad but we
will not revert to the past we have to make
use of the present wisely, which, if we do,
we will not lose time in the future by useless
regrets.
We have numerous representatives of old
Belmont in our battle-scarred and war. worn
regiment, among whom we have the honor
to clam our young and skilfu Surgeon, j.
w. Brock, whom cannot pass by without
saying to his numerous friends in that coun
ty that he is popular, and If ever man
was deservedly popular among the leaders
of his profession and the men under his
care, he is. Major Brock is now Brigade
Surgeon of our Brigade. The boys miss
the skillful and gentlemanly treatment they
have received at his hands for the last 80
months.
We are encamped at this place as though
we were going to stay here some time but
a very few minutes hence may find us tear
ing down and lighting out tor somewhere
else.
Enclosed you will find ST.. Please send
me your paper as long as that will pay for it..

Serious Railroad Accident.

In consequence of misplaced switch a
passenger train OF ten cars was let off the
track of the Cleveland & Toledo Railroad
near Bellvue, on the morning Of the 10th,
and precipitated upon some coal cars stand
ing on the side track, Two men and a child
were killed, others bruised and a large
amount ofproperty destroyed. The cars were
set on fire, the mails and baggage consumed
beside four of the passenger and several of
the coal cars. From the cars the flames
extended to the grain house standing near
the track which, With its contents-IS, 900
bushels of wheat, some cotton, and small
quantity of other freight-was consumed.
Wm. Allen the baggageman was found
almost roasting alive; one of his legs had
been caught in the baggage and the fire was
burning fearfully all around him. They
tried to extricate him, but their efforts were
truitess, and he begged those present to chop
! of his leg and take him away. An ak was
procured, two or three blows severed the
| limb, and he was removed, but died shortly
/ after. He had been in the employ of the
company for some years and leaves family
in Cleveland.
Joseph Allen, brakesman, it is supposed
was buried in the wreck and consumed, as nc
trace of him could be discovered. He leaves
a family in Toledo.
The engineer was uninjurod. The fireman
was badly bruised and was picked out of The
ditch.
A child in the arms of a lady passenger
was discovered to be dead, in its mother
arms, as the latter was taken from the ruins
but there wero no marks of injury its body
and it is supposed to have been suffocated
Conductor Ames was considerably bruised
and his face badly burned, but his injuries
will not prove serious. r.a.E .
