A NOVEL WEDDING.

A wedding transpired in this town on
Tuesday last of a rather sensational char
acter. Rev. H. NJ. Keck united in holy
wedlock Mr.. T. A. Matthews and Mrs.
Sarah E. Shockley in two horse carriage,
on Market street, in front of the public
building. The bridegroom informed the
officiating minister that they had long dis
lance to go, and it was necessary to be ex.
peditious. The minister then suggested
that the wedding take place in the carriage,
and he then set his basket on the pavement,
while Mr.. NJ. united the hitching strap and
got in, so that he might be tied while
the horses were Embossed. The par
ties were married in a sitting posture, be-
cause the carriage was too low to stand up
in, then they were little cramped for room
by the presence of three bright eyed child
rem. The passers-by scarcely gave the car
risge or the minister momentary glance,
thinking, of course, that they were friends
who had met and were conYersiDg together
in quiet way. Some suspicion might, it
is true, have been awakened had they OBJ
served that the gentleman was grasping the
hand of the lady, and that they were both
looking rather pensively upon the minister
in the street. Soon after the ceremony
was over the prsncing steeds swept through
the town, bearing with them, it is to be
hoped, a happy and loving psir.-Cledr-

A letter from Wyoming Territory, pub
lished in the New York Post, says: ''Not
far to the west of the Green River Railroad
station the rocks are filed with fossil fishes, in
awonderfullyperfect state of preservation, so
far as all their important characteristics are
concerned. Ofcourse they are fiattened to
the last degree, but their forms, including
eyes, fins and scales, are perfectly preserv-
ed, 30 chat the skillful naturalist readily re-
fers them to their true place in the ichthy-
illogical scale. They occur in finely lam
mated shale Of dingy yellow or drsb color,
and the dark brown colored fishes show
beautifully on this back ground. One little
slab now before me, only about four by
eight or nine inches, shows parts of at least
one of these beautiful fishes that have come
down to us from former age"

A LOCOMOTIVE wITHoUr FIRE.

An engine designed for propelling street
cars, especially, has recently been brought
out apd tested by New Orleans inventor.
1t is claimed to save 80 per cent. over run
niog by mule power. The driving engine
is of ordinary character, has a 300.gallon
reservoir with steam room above; boiler,
steel, we'll covered with non-condueting
material to prevent the radiation. The
motive power is obtained by compression
of steam in water, the steam being conduc-
ted from stationary boiler at the end OF
the track, dispensing with firing up while
under way. The steam is sufficient (sc-
cording to capacity of boiler) to run 10 Co
10 miles. At the time Of changing the
temperature in the boiler it is $50 deg. FIT
the pressure being 176 lbs. per So. in. There
is not the least dangrer Of explosion, as the
reservoir can never riss above that point at
time of changing, and constantly diminish
es as the power is expanded. So simple is
its construction there is less skill required
than in handling horse or mule.

the workmen and contractors will have to

DEsIREOFTHE DYING FoR REST.

laws of this State requiring official exami-

of the companies, afford ample protection
to the rights of policy holders.
The resolutions also declare that when a
company becomes embarrassed in conse-
quence of extensive CONGREGATIONS as at
Chicago and Boston, Judicial interference
on complaint of claimants for loss or indiVi-
dual stockholders enjoining an insurance
company from continuing business and ap-
pointing receiver, becomes an act of in
justice and is inimical to the best interest
of the claimants and stockholders, and
finally that Judicial action upol an exparte
