Although splce pleads brevity we
cannet refrain from mentioning the
marriage of Mr.. Gle rye Sharp to Miss
Jennie Walker, which was e1Dsumma-
ted at haii-Iast 10 o'clock A. NJ, by
Rev. ". 5. Moifat, of 4. II. Church.
4 large number of guests were present
10 witness the ceremony, and tender
their congratulations TO the happy
pair. The gentlemen present would
have been in despair at the loss to
them of SO handsome, genial and ac-
complished a lady as Miss Jennie was,
had it not been for the fact that the
parlor was Illuminated with handsome
ladies' forms and faces, and the knowl-
edge that the world was full of pretty,
iOvable girls. 1t was also consolation
to know that she was given over to the
tender, loving care of man of honor,
and IN every way worthy of the prize
he has won. The newly married peir
started on their bridal tour, intending
60 visit some of our principal cities.
We need not speak of the seemingly
perfected arrangements for the Occa-
sion-the beauty of the table or the eX-
ceilence of the wedding feast, all oi
by the guests-but we desire to make
especial mention of the beautiful de.
sign upon the wedding cake: Two
clasped hands, white and pure as driv'
en- snow, fit emblem ofsacred love and
trust. Let us hone that loving hand:
retain their clasp, and loving heart;
prove true.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 23, 1874.
From Special Correspondent of the Chronicle.
Editor Belmont Chronicle
The Sumner Civil Rights bill, some
what amended, passed the Senate this
morning at Z O'Clock. after a nights
continued session. EndeavOrs We're
made to exclude it application to COM
mon schools and colleges, already e.
tablished, as well as to he he reafler es-
tablished, and to strike out its applica-
ton to jurors, but We're unsuccessful.
The first section covers the whole
ground of it. application, while the
others give the remedies and penalties
for infraction of its provisions. here
with give you the bill as passed.
The bill will pass the House, though
upon close vote, and amended in re-
gard to its onerous penalties, for they
are more sweeping and burdensome
than those applicable to felony. Your
readers can judge for themselves by
examination.
The marriage of the Presidents
daughter has been subject of deep in
terest here among those interested in
such matters, owing to the rare occur
renee of marriage in the White House,
as vel as to the prominence of all par.
ties concerned. The President is in
New York to-day bidding good bye tC
the bridal couple.
Mr.. Cluss, a member of the Board o
Public Works of our city, and also the
Chief Engineer, went voluntarily or
the witness stand before the Commit
tee of Investigation, and testified TO {
most damaging state of affairs. Hi:
testimony seemed to involve the Gov
ernor in deepest corruption in lnatter'
ofcontract expenditures, etc. But nE
der the cross examination he utterly
broke down, and so clearly convicted
himself of perjury, that the %armes
friend ofthe Governor could not he
plying the fool or knave-it is diff
cult to determine which the fellow is
! We who have upheld Mr.. Shepherd
through all his trials, certainly have
cause for generalization that Mr.. Ciuss
attempt to stab him failed so ignonin
iously. But we cannot escape regre
that ne should have had around hin
SUCH men as Cluss and Magruder, th'
Treasurer of the Board. He is not, O
course, responsible for their appoint
ments, as they were made by tn,
President, yet he has realized how
closely he has been to ruin through hi
association with such unworthy men.

DIR. Pieree's Favoritc Prescription

DIR. Pierce's FavOritc Prescription
is very strongly recommended by the
Medical Faculty and is largely prescri
bed among their female patients. 1t is
worthy of all confidence as may be
seen from the following testimonial:
ATLANTA, ILL.,, July IA, 1873.
DIR. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sri have not words to ex-
press my gratitude to you for your ad-
vice and assistance in my case. There
is not one who has used your medicines
since they have been brought here but
that can say with me they have been
greatly benefited. Since l have been
so helped by its use six or seven around
me left of all doctors and other medi-
cines, and now use it in their families,
after being cured of the same disease
as mine. You do not know what a
wonder it created in our city, by its re-
storing my sister wrote you about for
she had been under the care of three Of
our best doctors, but could not sit up
but few minutes at one time. beg
ged of her to try your medicines, and
before she had used half the bottles she
could go all around the yard, and has
now just come home from visit five
miles away.

BELLAIRE LOCALS.

Another extensive party, composed
of about twenty-five couples of the
light fantastic toe persuasion left the
the city last Thursday night, aboard
the steamer Market Boy, destined for
MOundsville, w. Va, where they were
met by few of the sons and daugh-
ters of the 'Old Dominion for the pur-
pose of engaging in social quadrille.
They report that they enjoyed them
selves hugely, and we have no evil
dence to the contrary. '1hey danced
all night till broad daylight, and came
rolling home in the morning. about
the time the king of day was mount
ing the eastern hills.
The citizens Of the 1st ward were
thrown into frenzy of excitement one
day last week, by the running away of
a large black horse belonging to Butte
& Dunlap. He was hitched to a dray,
and ran furiously down Main Street
until he came in contact with a locust
tree, which broke the attachment be-
tween horse and dray. The Coroner, in
connection with his posse comitatus'
held an inquest over the captured horse.
The jury returned verdict of felony
in the second degree; the horse hav-
ing run upon a sudden fright, and
without premeditation or malics afore-
thought.
Rev. DIR. Fisk, of st. Louis, deliver
ed three lectures in the Disciples
Church during last week. Subject
Palestine, or the Holy Land His
course of lectures on this subject con-
sists of twenty-six lectures, of two
hours each. He processes to be lectu-
ring in the interest of the Christian
Colony located at Billings, Christian
county, Mo. The proceeds of his lee
lures to be applied to the erection of a
College building for the Colony. A
very benevolent enterprise, indeed;
but we understand the Doctor is agent
for the sale of a large tract of land in
that county, owned by the Billings &
Susquehana Land Company DR.. Fisk
is profound scholar and a good talker,
but he lacks the elements of a popular
lecturer. The proceeds of his lectures
here would not lay the cornerstone OF
a country school house.
The Temperance mass meeting held
in the NJ. E. Church last Friday night
was larger than usual. The meeting
was opened by prayer by the Rev
CASTOR; Rev. Rogers delivered the lee
ture. He spoke for an hour in his
characteristic, forcible and graphic
style. Mr.. Rogers has no respect what.
ever for grammar. but the native ell
oquence rolls from his tongue like al
irresistible cataract.
Saloon keepers have nothing to do al
present but pitch hOrse-shoes, which
seems to be the next best thing to sell
ing beer; but they are going to petition
the City Cou3cil to permit them to 70
sumo their cid occupation by repeal
ing the anti-beer ordinance.

EGGreat excitement prevailed on
the street in Bridgeport, yesterday, oc-
casioned by great number of farmers
coming in all at once with wagons
loaded with wheat, waiting their
chance to unload at Smith and Sons

while Osborne, next door, who was
wide awake and watching, was busy
selling and reloading many Of their

have agreed to make the rate for news

which they are published, and exchan-
