Mote Wedding. On Tuesday eve, sept.
,hs about thirty guests assembled 81 the
residence Of tbc brides mother, Mrs.
Rachel Finch, TO witness tho marriage Of
Mr owen Evans. of Rome, y. Y, aud
Miss Ra.alia Finch, Of RockwelTs Mills,
y. T., both deaf muies Great was the
suspense az the friends, for all were puz-
z.cd 90 know bow the ceremony could be
performed We were soon relieved by
the entrance Of the bridal party, aud all
eyes were turned toward them. The scr.
vice was repeated moderately, sentence
by sentence, by Kew. $. W. Weiss, pastor
OF The village church, aud interpreted to
the bride and groom by daughter Of Mr..
Evans, who, though not mute, under.
stands that language. The prayer which
she also interpreted, was beautiful aud
solemn. The service was nearly as quick.
BY performed as 81 otherwise could have
been done, as the young lady fingered
very rapidly, and one sign often expressed
% whole sentence. For the benefit OF
the young mgn the congratu-
atIoHs were offered IN the ususI manner,
while our good wishes were given to
them by the daughter. 1t was a very
pretty and interesting sight, aud the hap
'y pair, though quiet, appreciated and
enjoyed the evening as well as any Of us.
During the evening the bride, by request,
repeated the Lords Prayer, which is very
beautiful and expressive, aud while
watching the emotions passing over her
face, we could not doubt her sincerity.
Several friends showed their esteem
and affection by presenting handsome
bridal gifts, and received hearty thanks
from the eyes Of the bride. She will DO
missed very much in her circle of friends,
for surprising as 1t seems, she 10 lively
company. Mr., aud Mrs. Evans started
on the following day on visit to their
mate friends. They will make Rome, N.
y, their future home, and may their life
be one of great happiness. M.J.F.

AS Thos. McGrath aud wife were
driving down Ball Hill Thursday, one of
the forward wheels Of their wagon col
lapsed, frightening the horse and caus-
ing a runaway. Mr.. and Mrs McGrath
were severely though not dangerously
injured The horse, which was quite a
valuable one, had the cords of one of his
legs eut so that the lower part of it just
hung by the skin, rendering him worth
less.
Daniel Hallenbech, a Young man
from North noosick, was horribly beat
en- by four of our village roughs last
Wednesday night. The village authori-
ties seem to be unable to suppress such
outrages and they are getting to be very
frequent.
The weather has been very dry and
dusty for several weeks past. Farmers
are complaining, saying, of we do not
get rain soon the potato crop will be
ruined. Corn is not more than half a
crop in this section. ...
There is good prospect of our brass
band being revived A few years ago

the best bands in the country, but recent
