BRIDAL TRIP WITHOUT A BRIDE
Out in the town of Harrison, Calumet
county, and about eleven miles from Men
osha, a wedding occurred but a few weeks
ago, the particulars of which we have just
been told. The daughter of a prominent
farmer was united in the holy bonds to
sknight of the plow and drill whose ex-
perience in the affairs of life had been sui
ficiently varied to post him on the tricks
of trade,' and, under all circumstances,
allowed him to give ''tit for tat" Previous
to the happy event, arrangements were all
made for a wedding tour OF several days
duration. In due time the ceremony was
performed, and at Il proper period the
bride was conducted to her chamber, and
slowed away in the contemplated nuptlal
couch. The happy husband soon followed,
and having reached the door of the chamber
which contained his bride, raped gently,
but listened in vain for the anticipated
welcome He knocked again, more ner-
vously than before, but still no answer was
head. He gently raised the latch the door
was locked. He called the little mischief
within, but she answered him not, and he
WAS finally compelled to seek other quarters.
How he passed the night is not recorded.
At an early hour in the morning, the car
riage which had been engaged for the we'd
ding tour was driven to the door, and our
hero stole gently down stairs, entered the
carriage, babe the driver apply the lash,
and was soon out of sight. He did not
return until the lapse of ten days, during
which time he visited every place contem-
pleted previous to his marriage. On his
return lie found his wife's bedroom open

SUICIDE IN NoRFOLK.-Th Norfolk
Landmark" of Monday gives the follow
ing account of a distressing suicide in that
city:
Mr. W. Fl. Pettyjohn, an old resident,
had been indulging for some time too free
ly in drink, and was in the habit of taking
laudanum as an antidote fol- bilious collie,
and on Wednesday evening sent out to q
neighboring store for a large vial of it
When about to retire for the night he babe
Mrs. Petrie, with whom he boarded, Good
bye!" "Good-bye - 'Goed-bye ~ three
different times, and with more emphasis
than usual, and said, "You may never
again see Mr.. Pettyjohn alive" At 6
O'Clock yesterday morning the inmates
of the house went into his chamber to
awake him, but were surprised to find that
he was a cold and rigid corpse. The vial
which had contained the laudanum was
lying on a side table near by, and the room
seems to have been very little disturbed
before retiring to bed. The body lay on
the left side, with the arms folded over the
breast. and the countenance of the dead
man seemed as natural as when ne was
alive, except that it bore an unmistakable
look of sadness about it. Mr.. Pettyjohn
was native ofsNorth Carolina, but had
lived in Norfolk for the last forty years.
He had been a seafaring man in his early
youth, and imbibed many Of the superst i
lions of the sailor. Before going to bed on
Wednesday night Il black cat jumped upon
his back, and he was heard to say that this
circumstance was bad Omen and predict

Thursday 1000 persons assembled at Sixty
sixth street. East river, New York, to wit
ness a swimming match by seven young
ladies for three prizes. Misses Minnie
Leypoldt, Emma Brown, Josephine May,
MaryLeypoldt, Emily Kruger, Rickie Sands
and Kittie Allen were to go from the start
ing point. 500 yards from the flag, They
started with rush, and the tide floated
them file feathers half the distance. When
they were within 100 yards of the fla g a
large steamboat passed and created such a
heavy swell that all but the Misses Ley
peldt and Miss Brown were thrown far
in the reIf. Misses Kruger and ALE II
were driven upon the rocky shore. The
latter, it is said, tainted and was drawn
ashore. The sisters Leypoldt arrived to-
gether, within twenty yards Of the goal
Miss Mary suddenly failed, and her sister
reached the flag the winner of the first
prize. a lockeJ and chain. Miss Mary ar
rived second, and secured the prize Of a
pair Of bracelets. Miss Brown was yet
far ahead OF the others, but within forty
yards from the end she gave out, and was
unable to reach the flag until Mr.. Johnson,
the champion English swimmer, who ac-
companied the ladies from the start, gave
her some assistance. She padded to the
end, and secured the third prize, a toilet
set. The other swimmers did not finish
the race, but craWled into the bath-house

POISONOUS CANDY.-The Brooklyn, N.
Y, Board of Health are after the candy
shop purveyors with sharp stick. About
two mouths ago the attention Of the board
was called to the fact that large quantities
of pois nous candy, most of which came
from Boston, We're sold ut various places
in Brooklyn. The subject was partially i'll
vestigated at the time and referred to the
sanitary committee Of the Board of Health
for Investigation and report. DR.. Hutch
inson, chairman of the sanitary committee,
mas had the matter under investigation
ever since, and on Thursday submitted a
long report, which atfirlns that the candy
sold is almost wholly unfit for use and is
little better than poison. The poisonous
ingredients are, he says. introduced. very
extensively for the purpose OF coloring the
candy and increasing the size OF tile differ
ent kinds. There are three hundred and
fortv-one candy shops in Brooklyn where
this poisonous stuff is sold to tkoughttess
children and others ignorant Of its dangers.
The magnitude of the task of discovering
and suppressng all the places where this
candy is made and sold is SO great that the
Board of Health could not grapple with
it without mourning great expense. The
report says that it would b. necessary, III

THE EXTENSION OF THE VAL.
LEY RAILROAD

In the Richmond primary election for
State Senator Monday, the extension of
the Valley Railroad was made a question.
One OF the candidates put out hand-bill,
assuring the people that he was opposed to
1t, and other hand-bills were issued charg-
ing that General Malone was in town for
the purpose of influencing the election to
meet his views. A pretty kettle OF fish
they are making of Virginia legislation
If, however, the following, which we find
at the head of the editorial column Of the
Richmond sDispatch,' is true, there will
be no need of mixing State politics with
railroad designs at the next session OF the
Legislature 1--WE have seen Il letter from
London which contains the item OF news
that the Valley railroad has purchased the
franchises of the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road, by which the Valley company acquires
the right to extend their road to the Ten
nessee line. The charter OF the Shenan-
doah road grants the right to construct a
railroad from the town of Harper 'sFerry lin
the county of Jefferson, OF some other point
on the Potomac river through the counties
of Warren, Page, Rockingham and Au-
gusta, to a point Oh the southern boundary
of the State of Virginia, between Bristol
Goodson and the western line of the State
of Virginia. said point to be selected by
the said company
''This statement is from very good au
thority, and its correctness is rendered the
more probable as Mr.. john w. Garrett
the president of ths Baltimore nd Ohio
railroad, is now in England" Should this
be true, the Shenandoah Valley r. Il. will
still be built as far as Staunton us its char
ter requires, and we should have two roads
down the Valley, but no competition-as
both would be owned by the same com
pany.
