ARIOnnY WEDDING.

We learn that while party was assem-
bled at the residence of Mr.. Hargreave,
in Reeds prairie, Grimes county, Thurs
day night, to attend the marriage of MIR.
H. g daughter, and few minutes after
the ceremony had been performed, a COM
pany of soldiers, in pursuit of some one
supposed to be there, surrounded the
house and demanded its surrender. MIR.
Hargreave offered to surrender the house
and every one it, and went out to the cap
tain of the squad. The report to us is
that while Mr.. II. was out, pistol in
the hands of young man in the house
went off accidentally.
The soldiers in front of the house i'm
mediately opened fire. A Miss Russell
had just stepped upon the gallery to get a
drink, when she was hit in the head
with minnie ball, and in the leg with a
buckshot, and instantly killed, A Mr..
Fowler was also killed. Rolla Pearce and
Mrs. ARTERY were wounded. With the
first shot, the gentleman in the house
started every one to lie down flat upon the
floor. But for this, our informant
thought, many more lives would have
been lost. The groom and several others
were arrested and carried of.-HoustOn

Convention yesterday, Rev. DR.. Hersch
pronounced a eulogy on the late George

Speech from Gov. HOffman.-What
the Democracy Propose so Do " ith
their victory.
ALBANY. Nov. Gov. Hoffman, last
night, in the course of his speech, in re
Spouse to a serenade by the Jacksonians,
said:
notice that most of the Radical papers
in Albany and New York are asking what
will thew do with it, that is, with the VIC
toryI / am hardly disposed to tell them
Just yet prefer to give them little time
10 digest the returns, and when these are
fully digested We propose to give them
some information as to what we will do with
it. In my observation l have found that
knowledge suddenly acquired is never very
profitable, but / will tell them in general
terms one or two things We propose to do.
AN HONEST LEGISLATURE.
We propose to make the Legislature Of
the State of New York honest, and that Is
what they have not done in some time.
We propose TO use the Legislature for the
purpose of promoting the interests Of the
mass of the people and not the interests Of
the few. which the Radicals have not done
in long time.
The EreRing journal has stated that for
many wears there has been few men in
the Republican Legislature who could be
bought. We will show them that in Il
Democratic Legislature there will be none
of that kind.
LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT.
We propose to give the people OF the
State OF New York all over, the right OF
self-government; we propose to abolish
such laws as infringe on the rights OF local
! tiles and secure to them the right to gov
| eTn themselves; we will not abolish such
laws and give the people something worse,
| but we viii give better laws.
THOROUGHLY DEMOCRATIC.
| We propose to make the State OF New
! York and the government in all its branches,
! thoroughly Democratic.

tives and all the good counsel l can get,

| believe the Legislature, which is about
to assemble and legislate upon the affairs o.
this great State, will act with such wisdom
and discretion as to show the people of the
State and country that the Democracy o
the State of New York can be as moderate
in their hour of victory as they have beer

rIourninr Cor pcnhodr

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The death of Mr.
Peabody occurred so late Thursday night
(half-past III that the fact could not be
widely published until to-day. His death
is universally regretted. Flags are at half
mast, buildings draped in various parts
of the city, and other evidences of mourn
ing attest the public sorrow.
The Daily Nelos says Mr.. Peabody was
not a man of impulsive, emotional benevo-
lence, but rather of a judicious, widely
spread benefcence. His hberality was not
posthumous; he gave from his own sub
stance. He did not surrender what death
wrested from his service, but gave it to his
native and adopted countries, which was fit
tingly and graciously recognized in imperial
letters and the thanks of Congress. Mer-
chants, in passing his statues daily, need
notlearn from the consummate man of bust
how to gain money, but his career may
teach them how it may be wisely spent.
