VESSEL BUILDING.
4 large amount of work and money has
been expended in repairing and rebuilding
old vessels. Two, three, or four are on
the tapis the whole time, giving employ
mcnt to large class of mechanics
Charles Peters. Esq, of New York, OF the
business firm Of c. Il T.. J. Peters. spends
much of the summer season here i'll build
ing new vessels, repairing old ones, and i'll
the purchasing and shipping OF lnmher.-
Mr.. Peters commenced business in this
village, and from sheer habit lIc could not
refrain now from making us an annual Nis-
it, and following up the old business He
spends for his firm large sums here arnu-
ally, in the various WAYS .; trade.

sci ever rugged in this way in this section.
One other peculiar feature which she has.
is ii centre board.
Master SuuminShy has spared no pains
in making this vessel Us strong as wood
and iron can make a vessel, and also in
finishing her up in the neatest aud most
workmanlike manner.
Mr., Dyer p. Jordan, has also, finely
modelled, substantially built and splendid
vessel in his ship-yard just ready to launch.
" Mvronus is the name selected for this
painstaking and carefully built brig. The
Nyronus is double decker, l2:} feet long,
- - feet wide. IL feet, : inches low or

deck. She is :}Sl tons, new measurement.
The name is probably derived from My
ron. This vessel is to be launched this
week. Mr.. Jordan has been two wears in
building it, thinking no doubt, that what is
worthy of being done, is worthy of being
well done. Master Stephen Higgins is The
master builder. All the modern improve
ments have been introduced in finishing
this brig, 50 that she will stand the test of
comparison with others Of modern build.
Mr.. Tisdale is erecting another mill on

Mr.. Ulmer at his mandatory has had
all he could do 10 supply orders in his line.

ploys large number of men, and works
early and late himself in attending to the
complicated duties pertaining to his varied
business.

young farmer, in the town Of Waynesburg
took a fair girl, "all bathed in blushes,'
from Der parents, and started for the FIRST
town across the Pennsylvania line, to be
married, where the ceremony could be
performed without license. The happy
pair we're accompanied by sister Of the
girl, toll, gaunt, sharp-featured female,
Of some thirty-seven summers, The pair
crossed the line, were married, and return
ed to Wellsville to pass the night. People
at the hotel where the wedding party
stopped, observed that they conducted
themselves in rather singular manner
The husband would take his sister in-law
the tail female aforesaid, into one corner
Of the, paror, and talk earnestly to her,
gesticulating wildly all the time Then
the tall female would "put her foot down.
and talk to him in an angry an excited
manuer. Then the husband would take
his fair young bride into corner; but b.
would 10 sooner commence talking to her
than the gaunt sister would rush in be-
tween them and ausrily Join 10 tue con-
versation. The people at the lotel ascer
tanned what this meant about nine clJck
that evening. There was an uproAr in
the room which had been assigned to the
newly married couple. Female sbrieks
a. e. lad hr
pie in the hotel, and they rushed to the
spot. The gauut female was pressing
against the door Of the room anI the
newly married man mostly undr, ssod, was
barring her out with all his mis ht. Occa-
siona!ly she woa'd kick the door far
enough open to disclose the stalwart nus
baud, in his Gentleman Greek Slave
apparel.
1t appeared that the tall female insist
ed upon occupying the came bed with the
newly welded pair IA, her sister was
favorAbly disposed to the arrangement,
and that the husband had agreed to i.
before the wedding took place, and now
Indignantly repudia,ed The contract

the newly married man softenins his
voice.
"No," said she, II won $50 there
