A Milwaukee paper states that a
young German girl died of JOY on meet
ing her betrothed in that city. She
had come all the way from Germany to
join him. She embraced him upon her
arrival, and when he tried to disengage
himself her hands were firmly clasped
about his neck in death. Her heart
was literally broken with JOY. Sad in
deed.

accepted. The engagement was kept a
profound secret, nor was the mission
suspected when the President left
Washington in June, ostenslbly tor
Boston, but in reality for New York,
where he arrived in the morning, and
proceeded to call upon his fair fance.

accident.
THE MARRIAGE
The contemplated marriage was kept
so ouiet that not above six persons
were acquainted with the event. The
peighbors were surprised to see CARR
aces with wedding favors in front of
Mrs. Gardeners house. The bride, ra-
diant in youth and beauty, was watched
as she emerged from her home, and
soon the rumor of wedding in the
church of the Ascension spread through
the neighborhood.
After the bridal party entered the
church quite number appeared, all
eager to know who were the contracting
parties. Then the very air seemed to
watt the news to every part of the city
that John Tyler, President of the Uni
ted States, had wed ded Miss Julia
Gardner Flags were flung to the
breeze, cannon we're fired, and the YES
sells in port were soon rugged in holiday
attire, and their guns doomed forth the
joyful tidings. The bridal party started
immediately for Washington, where
they held a grand reception. There
( were many festivities, but they did not
efface the remembrance of that sad and
fatal day in March. Mrs. Tyler only
enjoyed the honors of the White House
until the 4th of the next March, when
another President took the oath OF Office
and the Tyler family repaired to Sher-
wood Forest on the James river, where
six sons and daughters were born, and
where Mr. Tyler died in the early years
of the war.
PRESIDENT TYLERS FAMILY.
His widow then went North to her
mother. who shortly after died, leaving
large portion of her estate to Mrs.
TYLER. There was long and bitter
lawsuit over this will, but which was
eventually decided in Mrs. Tylers ia
vor. Since the close of the war the
children of Mr.. Tylcr's first marriage
have contended with the widow for the
old estate on james river. This last
suit has ended in securing all that Mrs.
Tyler contended for, and now she is
ont of the courts and can look after the
welfare of her children, to whom she is
very devoted. Her eldest daughter
married and died in year. leaving an
infant daughter Mrs. Tyler has charge
OF the child, and is quite engrossed in
! her affection for the little grand-daugh
ter, who is now four years old. There
is still much Of life left in the handsome
and sparkling widow, whose checks
glow and eyes brighten as she recalls
the happy days of her girlhood. and the
devotion of her husband. The one
dark spot in her memory brings shad,
ow to her brow, which is soon dispelled
by the recollection of other and tairer
memories.

SENTENCED TO BE IIUNG-W oNDERFUL
FASArIcIsM.-W William Jones, the negro
who murdered VIM. G. Durkin, was
sentenced Friday to be hung on the
18th day of June next. Jones plead
guilty of the charge in the Indictment,
made a small speech to the court, in
which he stated that he did not want to
put the court to the trouble of trial by
jury, nor did he want lawyer. to de
fend him as the Lord Jesus Christ had
already pleaded his cause, and he felt
assured Of eternal salvation, but wanted
TO be sentenced.
Judge Shackleford accordingly passed
sentence of death upon him, for which
he thanked the Judge, and said his body
might suffer little while but Jesus
had forgiven him his sins, and he YVES
going straight to Heaven; that he was
ready TO be hung, and all the time that
he asked was enough to write to a few
friends down about Richmond, and to
make a speech on the scafold. AL
though he undoubtedly realized his con-
dition, he was the most remarkably in
different man in the courtroom, and
seemed to feel that he was something OF
hero instead of the cold-bleoded as
sassin that he is Culpppsr Times.

MATTERS IN THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.
"A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Rockbridge
county VALLEY railroad, section so
under date of April 2Sth, says;
"There are about one hundred Ital-
ians at work on the Valley railroad,
most of whom worked on the famous
Mt. Cents tunnel through the Alps,
They are stonemasous, and have most
all of that kind of work on the line,
They are generally able-bodied, fine
looking men, polite, quiet, but good and
industrious workmen at lower wages
than our people work for, and they are
much liked by contractors and the peo-
pie. They begin to talk little En-
glisb, and most of their bosses can
''navigate" the language very well.
They drink wine and lager, and don't
like ''comnissary whisky" and / have
the first one to see drunk yet. They
expect to locate permanently in Virgin
ia, and will make good citizens.

BR1GANps--In our neighborlng State
Pennsy lvania, there exists at the pres
ent time, in Schuylkill county, a band
of robbers and murderers, who style
themselves the Molly McGuires, num-
boring, it is supposed, over 1000 The
leaders are many, but the most proml-
nent one is said to be man by the
name of Barney Dolan, who lives near
Locust GAP. Citizens, business men,
coal operators, or miners, have either
been driven from the regions or brutally
assassinated on the highways.
These brigands are bound by the
most terrible oath; and if one is selected
to commit murder, and then fails, he is
compelled tordie by his own hand, in
the presence Of the entire organization.

A most melancholy accident occurred
at the village of East Meadows, Long
Island, last Wednesday night. a we'd
ding had just taken place at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, and after
much merry making the newly married
couple intended to drive away in car
riage which was in waiting at the door.
The bride bid her friends good bye and
sprang into the vehicle in advance OF
her husband, and Just at that instant a
friend in the neighborhood discharged
a gun as a parting salute to the young
people. Tie noise frightened the horse
and he dashed down the road at a turl-
Gus gallop. In attempting to turn an
abrupt curve the carriage was upset,
and the lady was thrown out violently.
She had become entanglcd i'll the relns,
and was dragged over the rough surface
of the road at fearful rate. The AMI
NAL subsequently fell into ditch at the
roadside, dragging the unfortunate lady
with him. BY this time the husband,
parents, and friends came up with Ian
terms. and discovered the remains OF the
poor bride partly immersed in the water
of the ditch, the horse still kicking and
struggling to escape. The head OF the
lady was almost torn from the body.
every limb was broken in number OF
places, and the whole body was bruised
and lacerated in a shocking manner.
The remains were removed by the
friends, AND accompanied to the scene
of the marriage festivities by the be
rcaved husband and sorrowing parents.

The Moorfeld Advertiser gives the
following account of heinous crime
committed upon the person of a very
young girl in Hardy county on Monday
last:
On Tuesday last, Justice P. II. Snarr,
of Capon District, committed to our
Jail, one VIM. Brennan, upon the charge
of rape, upon a daughter of Robert
Oats, of the Bean Settlement, a girl OF
about Is years. Brennan came to that
neighborhood during the wax with the
Yankees; and remained after they left,
and subsequently joined the Confederate
forces, and was with them during the
Gettysburg raid. He worked some
time for Mr.. Ezekiel Bean, but left soon
after the war closed. About ten days
ago he returned, with ministerial dig
nifty, and on Sunday last preached to a
very respectable congregation. The
offence with which he is charged,h said
to have been committed on Monday
last. Mr. Brennan is young man OF
% years of age, decently dressed, and
seems rather sprightly. He will proba-
bly be examined at the May Court.
