last night at the residence OF Mr.. John
Crawford, where Mss Melinda Craw-
ford was married to Mr.. Henry Cribs,
a helper 10 the Benwood Nail Works.
The young couple have the best wishes
OF their friends and neighbors. All ex-
press the hope that their new lie may
be long and happy.
some new houses are going upin town,
among others. we hear that James
TAYLOR, a mailer in the Benwood mill,
is going to put up a new two story frame
dwelling in the west OF town, and the
constable, John Harrington. is going TO
put I'D another near the depot.
TIE Benwood Iron and Nail Works
will stop running for a short time on
the third OF July.
The Roman Catholics have made ar.
engagements to have picnic 90 the
Fourth at Moundsville. The present
arrangements are to go down on the
B. Il 0. r. r, though some change
may be made.
TIE Methodist Sunday School viii
have picnic on the Fourth, though
the place is not decided upon as yet.
We have learned to-day thst facts
are not facts only AZ circumstances
make them such. We have always had
an idea that hearty laugh would
make all who heard 1t feel merry for
the time, and that the agony OF tears
wrung from the anguish o. a hesrt
stricken, would call tears o. sympathy
from all who SAW them. But we are
} mistaken. We have always supposed
the pa,noa at leave taking between
, Bridget AMI Patrick, woHId be as af-
iectiug as that hrtween Cjarris>a and
AIphonsO. But again " are IN staken.
We saw to dsy, q couple come TO the
depot IN Wheeling, and AS we stood
near we heard their conversation. They
looked poor, wretchedly poor, and from
what we heard, they hal been burned
out-,heir all lost The two talked
earn estly over their grief and troubles,
the man trying to comfort his
vile, saying she must he brave and
do her duty at the place
where she was going to service, and
that be would work for her night and
day in the far West, where he was 60
ing TO make them q nome, and as soon
az he could he would send for her and
she must come to him. The woman
seemed broken hearted at the part
ing, but he Seemed brave When the
tram started we could hear a hurried
God bless you, darling, ! will write,
and the man was aboard. He laid his
head on the back OF the seat then and
almost cried aloud. We felt sal and
! were lost in wondering and hoping he
| would be successful and their home be
made where he was going, when we
heard sweet voice say behind ", Il
cay, John, did you ever see anything 80
annoying as that low looking man. He
is crying like some great baby. Don't
YOU think the conductor ought TO rnt
him Off" We Immediately put our
sympathies aside, and concluded that the
vul gsrity OF the common people in CIV
ing vent to their feelings, or having
feelings at all. was pat all iorbearsnce
and ought to be looked down upon by
the better classes.
