Letter from the Great Falls.
Mr.. EDlToR:

MIR. EDITOR:
Pursuant to a notice in the Sentinel Of last
week, there was political meeting held here
on Monday. The crowd was larger than at
any other political meeting held here for a
decade Of years, and the interest and enthnsi-
asm manifested proved conclusivcly that this
entire vicinage and the canal will, on the Bird
of November, go to the polls and give to Mr.,
Walsh their SURFACES, and thereby aid in the
defeat of the Radical nominee. Mr.. Walsh,
our nominee, and good one, proved himself
learned, intelligent gentleman, and no po-
litical trickster. Speeches were also made by
our fellow-countymen, Messrs. Peter, Pretty
man. Jones and Bouie.
Mr.. CRATIC Clagett, an old and revered citi-
zen, had his leg broken on Thursday, the LIST
inst He had been away on visit and upon
his return home he attempted to pun his car
rage in the barn, after detaching the horses
from it, but fell, breaking both bones in his
leg, slightly below the knee. He is doing as
well as can be expected under the crcum
stances.
good many boats are passing along the
canal at present. slight break near Guard
Lock occasioned some delay Of the boats, but
after several abortve efforts it has been mend
ed and business resumed.

MATRIMoYY. United in matrlmony, on
Thursday, at II o'clock, at the Protestant
Episcopal Church, by Rev. R. II. McKim,
r
son of the late John Brewer, Esq, with Miss
VIRGINIA F. RUSSELL, eldest daughter of the
late Major VIM. W. Russell, u S. NJ. G.
AT precisely the hour above named the bril-
dial party arrived a; the Church, and after the
ceremony was over repaired to the home Of
the BRIDE which was most beautifully and
tastefully decorated for the occasion. Here
the congratulations were offered aud brilliant
entertainment followed, to which a large num-
Der of the guests went from the Church to the
dwelling. After partaking of a samptuous
dinner the bridal couple left for st. Louis,
Mo-, via Washington, D. c.. where they re-
manned over night. They then proceeded on
their way to the former city, which they in
tend making their future residence.
The bride was most becomingly attired in
pure white cut en- train with diamond jewelry,
while bridal veil of great beauty was secured
to her fair brow by the customary bridal
wreath. The groom appeared in full dress suit
They were attended by Miss Mamie Russell
sister of the bride who was also attired in
white, and Mr.. VIM. Brewer brother Of
groom.
The bridal presents were costly and numer-
Gus.
We return our thanks for a supply of we'd
ding cake, and tender our congratulations tt
the happy couple on this suspicious event
trusting their union will be as the poet ex
presses it:
''Not for the summer hour alone,
When skies respendant shine,
And youth and pleasure ell the throne,
Our hearts and hands we Irvine;
Butfor those stern and wintry days
OF peril, pain and fear,
When Heavens wise discipline doth max

To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:
Before giving you the news from this
beautiful place, [ will say something o:
the road from Columbia. Long before
the sun bad called out the morning song
sters, we were on the road going at a
lively pace and enjoying the cool morn
ing air as only an early riser can. The
road from town to the point at which we
left the Hampshire pike, was excellent.
There is, though, short, rough sLr3tch
to Cathey's; the hill steep and rugged
so that l should advice everyone coming,
to provide themselves with a strong
team, if they want to make good time
and save trouble. Nick Akin, Esq, has
nailed sign-boards at every fork and
crOss-road, thus rendering the way plain
even to strangers.
The GENTLE is Jew here, for no soon
er does tired brOther-campist salight
and begin stretching his cramped limbs,
shaking off dust, ETC., than these clever
people, who know how it is them
selves" send him such luXuTiAs as tried
chicken, cool milk, hot bread, &c. ANY
one who has Travelled forty miles, and
taken a long hearty pull at that glorious
spout spring, knows how welcome such
things are.
The grounds need no description; for
the readers OF your excellent paper
know them we'll, and 1 should think
none would know them but to love
them" Nature has indeed been prodi~

creating this place for the pleasure, COM

day the 18th, Coggin & Williams took
their soda fount and went to picnic.
Ihey set up business at the foot of a hill.
Just above them, some negroes were
moving wagon without any team to it.
The wagon got the start of them some
how, and started at a fearful rate down
the hill, and ran right square sOver the
soda fount, and smashed up things
generally. This put stop to their days
business, and they gathered up the
wreck ami started for home, sadder if
not richer men.
