Hail, joyous marriage day
The earth is snow-robed; but all hearts are
gay,
The silvery bells chime out their silvcry
The bisful deed is done-
And two confiding hearts henceforth are
Hail, holy welded love,
As fond and fervent us the cooling dove.
And pure as snow-robes dropping from
above.
But warm with hallowed fire,
Ill bride and bridegroom shall be called
up higher.
Sweet childhood home, farewell.
In visions sweet have vanished like a spell,
And other hopes your ardent bosoms swell:
Lies wide and rolling sea.
Looms up before you, towards immonsity.
But go forth calmly now,
With Gods sweet smile upon your heart
and brow,
Low at his footstool er forget to bow
Be good-all will be well,
And life as cheerful as a marriage bell.

Railroad Meeting.-Pursuant to notice,
a meeting of persons favorable to building
Railroad from Elkton to Massey's, con-
vened at the Court House on Tuesday last.
Mr. Tome, President of the Board of Direc-
tors being absent, VIM. Lindsey, ESD, was
called to the chair.
Mr.. Groome, the Secretary, read proceed
ings of last meeting from which it appeared
that about $40, 600 had been subscribed and
assurances made that slight effort would
greatly enlarge the amount.
Mr.. Groome, of committee appointed to
make inquiry about survey, read letters
from various engineers giving estimated
cost of preliminary survey. Among these
was one from NJ. L. Conwell, an engineer
offering to make the survey for one hundred
dollars. Mr. Conwell also stated to Mr.
Groome that in case one half the amount
necessary to build the road be raised GER
tain Pennsylvania capitalist would take
the contract to build the road and take fiji st
mortgage bonds for the residue.
After considerable discussion with refer
cnce to the propriety of at once employing
Mr.. Conwell to make the survey, it was
finally resolved to make application to Jno.
W. Crisfeld, Esq, and also to General
Tench Tilghman, President of Dorchester
and Delaware Railroad, both of whom are
presumed to have copies of the original
survey of the old Eastern Shore route, for
such copy from which all needful data
can be obtained without the necessity of
the preliminary survey.
A series Of resolutions were read before
the meeting, reciting the fact that 1874, 900
had been subscribed by citizens for the
construction of road from Middletown to
Massey's that the road had been diverted
to Townsend, whereby the citizens along
the proposed route were defrauded of the
object of their subscriptions, and asking
tho Legislature TO release them from the
obligation of said subscription or transfer
them to the Elkton and Massey's Road
Laid over.
Messrs. Jas. B. Groome, J. J. Heckart
and II. Morton were appointed a commit
tee to draft and procure charter for the
road, embodying the names of the Board
of Directors as corporators.
Meeting adjourned, to meet at Elkton,
Tuesday, the 4th of January.

evening last, Miss Margaret Hollingsworth
one of the fair daughters of Elkton. The
ceremony was performed in the Presbyte-
ran Church of this town at Z o'clock in

ing at the interesting ceremony. The
Church was crowded with an eager audience
before the time arrived for the solemniza-
ton of the nuptials. Precisely at the hour
appointed, the wedding party entered the
Church. Three sets of walters preceded the
yeung-to be marricd-couple, the brides
maids dressed in white and the groomsmen

white satin ribbon. The bride was dressed

beneath the bright gas light presented a
charming appearance. A ring was used
in the ceremoney, which lasted about five
minutes. AS soon as the minister pro-
nounced the blessing on the happy couple,
the party filed out of the church and

The Lccturcs.-Dr r. Shelton Maken-

The Lecturcs.-Dr. r. Shelton Maken-
zie, of Philadelphia, as per announcement,
lectured in the Hall on Monday evening
last. With due Difference to the Dr. s H.
erary attachments, as Il journalist and re-
viewer, we think he should have submitted
his lecture to the judgment of a third par
ty before delivering it. The lecture in it
self was passable, but the edition of Irish
anecdotes which he threw in, was half
hour infliction on the audience which thor
oughly tested and proved their capacity to
stand boring. His stale anecdotes were
the most insuflerablc bore that an intelli-
gent audience was ever compelled to sub
NIT to. The anecdotes having been pub
lished time and again in the s'Wit and
llumor' columns of every country paper
in the land, every newspaper reader was
familiar with them. We advise the DR.. to
drop his anecdotes and stick to his lecture
proper, and his poem, " Geraldine" which
is quite pretty.
On Tuesday evening next, 21st inst, Mr..
Vandenhoff will close the course by reading
from Byron, Shakespeare, Dickens and other
works. We need say nothing in the way
of commendation of Nandcnhoff. Our
readers are familiar with this splendid
elocutionist. There will be no discount on
Tuesday evenings entertainment. Those
who appreciate a rare literary treat will
not fail to attend.
