EVENING, JULY 2s, 1871.

Visitors then, when announced, march
up between the two opposite lines of re.
lations and make pretty speeches to the
happy pair; and after having intrusted
themselves for short time to the care
of the bruidsmeisjes, who, dressed for
the occasion, show the presents placed
upon q table at the other end of the
room, and offer hippocras and sweets
called bruidssuikers and cake, make
rapid departure, and are succeeded by
others. The wedding commonly takes
place on the Thursday week after recep-
ton Sunday, and during the interval
balls and parties are given in honor of
the young couple. On the appointed
day the wedding party, Druid and bruid-
gom, going alone in the first carriage
make first for the Town Hall. The Bur
gomaster marries them, makes little
speech and receives their signatures;
to all this there must be four witnesses.
Then to church in the same order The
party having assembled in sort
of vestry, the bruidgom gives his right
arm to the bruid and leads the way to
the chancel Preserved nowadays for
marriages only or to the body of the
church in front of the pulpit. Here the
pair seat themselves upon a central sofa,
and relations range themselves as at the
aanteekening reception. The ceremony
is simple, the couple being already mar
ried. After hymn has been sung they
merely have to acknowledge the fact of
marriage in answer to the clergyman,
and, having advanced to low kneeling
chairs ready placed few steps in front,
receive blessing from him and short
exhortation. No ring is used, but one
is sometimes worn subsequently, The
new husband then gives his left arm to
his wife and leads the way home again.
The wedding breakfast is small affair,
attended by the very near relations only.

Mark Twain says that according 10 his obser-
.yation the most difficult time to bring up child
rem is in the morning You do sometimes,
though seldom bring them up in the morning
by yelling at them but the effectiveness of this
process dininishes with its repetition, even
when not entirely neutrahzed by the ehildren's
trick of stopping their ears with the bed clothes
The only prompt, effective and absolutely reli-
able method Is to bring them up by the hair.
Z If your child has good, healthy scalp, without
any tendency to premature badness, this meth
cd will work with most gratifying efficiency.
prised to observe how its influence will extend
through thsasix days interval, inspiring your
child with 1ae liveiest possible inter est in the
respondent pageantry of sunrise To bring up
of some energy and frmness; but no affectionats
parent will hesitate at any little sacrifice of this
kind for the welfare of his offspring. :,

Under the Ice,

We are called upon to record in the pres
ent instance one of the most marvellous
presentations recorded in the annals of
modern history, and while the reader may
pause incredulous over the remarkable
narration, we declare the leading particu-
lars as veritable statement of facts:
The skaters were merry at the bridge on
Monday night, as were they in almost eve
ry other locality unvisited by calamity,
and skillful skaters glided over the CLASSY
surface, cutting names, initials and hero
glyphics with their perilous engraving
tools. The more nimble and skillful play
ed bail and cavorted around the clumsy
amateurs, who, with half-cracked skulls
and wet seats to their breeches, blew their
fingers and gazed at the experts standing on
one leg and looking at their left coat-tails
over their right shoulders, in spite of all
laws of gravitation.
All at once an exclamation of horror
transfixed every gazer to his feet. Amid
the cracking and breaking of the ice one
was observed struggling for a hold on the
slippery edge of the ice, which broke off in
large pieces. His benumbed fingers loos-
ened their grasp, and the unfortunate
skater was carried by the murderous cur
rent out of sight under the cold and CLASSY
ice. Being an expert swimmer, and pos
sessed of great presence of mind, he struck
out vigorously and swami alter the manner
of diver. The fishes gazed at him with
their green eyes, and nibbled at his clothes
as he swan through the frigitd current, and
gazing at him, but he struggled manfuily
on, nor needed the meddlesome catfish
which swan beside him, as though they
would question him concerning his sever
ance with the affairs of the land. He Il
almost exhausted, and be lets down, and
his feet strike the bottom. He has reached
shoal. Pressing his head vigorously
against the yielding ice, with his feet
braeed below, a cracking is heard, and he
gazes along the surface of the ice. To come
through lightly was but q moments work,
and bidding his friends-file fishes-good-
bye, he Is conveyed 60 & fire to dry and
warm, having swan over twenty yards
under the Ices Lear es,scorH Kansas Re-
pu6licd7a.

The United States Circuit Court was engaged
yesterday in the trial of the trespass of Rev.
Jacob Smith VS.. Goddard, ct al, of Blount
county. This is the case commonly known as
the preacher whipping case and it excited good
deal of attention. The plaintiff closed his case
and the defendants examined several witnesses,
pending which the court adjourned The plain
tiff himself was examined and swore to the de-
tails of the whipping, but was able to identify
but one of the paeties implicated. The testimo-
ny will probably be closed this morning and
the case argued during the day. A large at
tendance of people seemed TO indicate a good
deal of interest in the case.
Several motions were entered in patent cases
and the forfeitures taken against William Pick
ems, of Blount, set aside on payment of costs of
forfeiture

Railroad Troubles .

A slight unpleasantness, or rather lack Of
cooperation, is existing between the New York
and Philadelphia, the New jersey, Camden &
Amboy and Philadelphia, Wilmington &
Baltimore Railroad companies against the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad
The first named companies offer New
York and Washington ticket for $50 in
stead Of Sc, but the Baltimore and Ohio Road
refuses to accede to the arrangement, though it
would be only two cents less than local rates
since the Maryland State capitation tax has
been removed, while the other roads on the line
would lose fifty cents less than their aggregate
local rates In consequence of this refusal the
companies north Of Baltimore decline TO join in
any through ticket, giving to the Baltimore and
Ohio Road more than their local fare, and in
struotions have been issued to agents to with
draw from sale tickets to all points south and
southwest of Baltimore ria that city and Wash
ington- Travel is still open to through psssen-
gers ria the Bay Line steamers and the Lower
Potomsc Limo at current fare. There is no
trouble going north, and baggage is checked
through as heretofore.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have come
down to S765. which is only fifteen centstliffer-
enee, and it is probable that the difficulty Will
shortly be adjusted. There Is no difficulty at
all going north and bit little now coming
south

ty-two feet long can be distinctly seen on
the surface of the moon by the great tele-
scopes of the Earl of Rose and Lord OK

it would require instruments ten times
more powerful TO distinguish a imam in

to bridge that chasm.

East Tennessee Wesleyan University.

The present term of the University has
opened very promisingly. New students
are still coming in. The Faculty and stu
dents have entered on their labors with re-
newed energy. The Faculty deserves spe-
cial mention in this respect. DIR. Cob
leigh, although by careful observers pro-
nounced model Instructor of the age, and
the examinations of his classes spoken of as
perfect, yet desires to make advancement,
and is instilling the same enthusiasm into
the other members of the Faculty. The
University can boast of a live Faculty.
SOCIETIES OF THE UNIVERSITY.
Each of the three literary societies are
III prosperous condition, and with new
rolls of officers, have gone to work in ear
nest. 1t is we'll known here that these
societies possess an amount of promising
talent, and are creditable to the Institution
and very beneficial to the students, espe-
cialiy those preparing themselves to enter
the arena OF political life. Young men
and ladies contemplating attending school
and considering the advantages of this in
stitution, would do well to acquaint them
selves with the history and character of
these societies.
The Theological Society is also enjoying
prosperity. At o meeting on Thursday
night, the I'd inst, the following off,
GERS were elected: Rev. NV. Mann, Pres
AOA' y. W AISOl,
M. NJ. Callen, Recordi ng and Correspond
ing Secretary, and w. E. F. NIilburn,
Treasurer. This Society has for it, object
that of making the "head wiser, the heart
better and is of incalculable value to
young men preparing for the ministry, of
whom there are o number now attending
the University.
CLASSES IN oRAToRY.
In addition TO these advantages. DIR.
Cobleigh aud two other members of the
Faculty have each q class for special study
and practice in public reading, speaking,
&C.. With all these opportunities of prac-
teal culture, if young man has anv tai
ent in this direction whatever, he will be
so encouraged and inspired Ia bestowing
attention upon them, that, with energy on
his own part, he cannot fail in being pre-
pared TO make his mark the field Of ora
tory; and surely q young man could not
have q higher motivein view. and of course
ought to consider such advantages in Sc
