as- The Litchfeld Sentinel publishes the mar. riage of Geldtes F. Granniss and Miss Mary l. Pendleton, both of Plymouth. That is doubtless meant for "Zelotes, one of the 6 D" men of tho 2d 0. V.

 We humbly ask forgiveness of MT. and Mrs. Zel0tes for the injury the Sentinel has led us into doing them. We trust the damage will be merely nominal.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-We learn
from Mr.. George Hill that the train
bound east on the O. & NJ. Road, on
Sunday night, ran off the track near
Wheatland, smashing the locomotive
and damaging several of the passen-
ger cars. The engineer was badly
bruised, but no one was dangerously
hurt. Eight cars were thrown off the
track. The accident was caused by
stock, several cattle being killed. A
party of soldiers on board, accustom-
ed to make the best of all kinds of
mishaps, at once proceeded to skin
the cattle, and prepare fresh beef for
breakfast. The passengers were a
little squeamish at first in participat-
ing in the feast, but hunger soon
compelled them to accept the offered
food, eat and be satisfied 2 sssa 49,,
