REM4RK4BLE CASE OF MISTAKEN
IDENTITY

Recently case was tried in the Coun-
ty Court which grew out of remarkable
similarity in the appearance of two men.
The plaintiff was Mr.. Anthony Schwab.
He sued Lester r. Smith, proprietor of
the Phoenix Hotel, in Pittsford, for
damages for assault and battery. Mr.
Schwab is butcher, in partnership with
John Englehardt. The two men are
very much alike in general appearance,
style, dress and the way they talk, both
being Germans, talking broken English
The difference between the two men is
easily distinguished when they are seen
together, but the difficulty of telling one
from the other is apparent when seen
separate. Mr.. Englehardt, it appears,
borrowed a halter from Mr.. Smith, the
defendant, and failed to return it. Some
time afterward Mr.. Smith met Mr..
Schwab. The latter had the same wagon
that Mr.. Englehardt had, and Mr..
Smith, imagining that he was Mr.
Englehardt, asked him for the halter
that he had borrowed. Mr.; Schwab of
course denied that he had ever borrowed
any halter, and Mr.. Smith asserted
positively that he had. They got to
high words, and then epsued the assault
on which was based the plaintiffs claims
for damages. Mr.. Smith did not dis
cover his mistake until afterward. The
trial of the case in the County Court re-
suited in verdict of seventy-five dollars
damages for the plaintiff. -Rochester

Wool.
From Pittsburgh Com, Tuesday.

From Pittsburgh Com, Tuesday.
The same condition of quiet is shown
| in the wool market as noted in our last
report. Some slight dispositions to
compromise matters is exhibited, but
buyers generally understand that the
condition OF goods market permits their
giving higher prices, and renders it
| almost vital necessity to cheaper the
raw material; while, on the other hand
| farmers are generally in a position
which enables them to hold their wool
very firmly, until either the market
advances to their figures or they are
convinced that it cannot be made to do
so. What transactions have been made
were on the basis Of former quotations,
viz: Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia tieeces, fine, 42@43e; combing,
washed 4Sc; unwashed 32@ 35c; pulled
wool 40c.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin has
the following: There has been no
material changein the situation since
our last report. There is some little
talk that perhaps values will feel a
little easier when they open on Mon
day next. The large stocks, tardy
state of the flannel market, and the
longer time requests of the mills on
purchase might induce slight shading
on woods to the straight sixty-day buy
erS.
There is little new to notice Of
fieeces. The Ohio farmers are holding
back for 45c, and seem quite likely to
carry their point if we lnayjudge of the
reported acts of Philadelyhia and New
York buyers. Those who pay this val
ue must make nice discrimination in
the throw if they purpose to make
themselves whole when offering them

We print this week the Premium List of
the Belmont County Fair, which will be found
to contain all that it usually does, and little
more The Fair Managers are busily engaged
in perfecting arrangements bywhich our Fair,
this Fall, will be one of the best heldfor many
years The grounds are to be enlarged so as
to take in the beautiful shade trees on the
south side of the present location, and the OPP
portunities for exhibitors are TO be made much
more desirable than heretofore. We will have
Fair worthy of the name, notwithstanding
the fact that the Managers of the Barnesville
Fair found it necessary again this year to hold
their Exhibition upon the same days. We do
not see any good reason why these Fairs should
not be held on different days, so that many
people and exhibitors who wish to attend
both, can do SO.

Der of years. In. 1878 he became connected
with the Chronicle Office as its Foreman. tits
certainly gratifying to him to receive this
merited testimonial from the members of the
craft. They all unite with us in the hope that
he NAY live very many more years to handle
other people'sideas adroitly between his fingers
that his 2s5 pounds avoirdupos will not be
reduced, and at last be not the Mnd-man in
entering the gates of the Golden City, at

mitted free.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.-In the Pittsburgh
Leader of Friday, we find the following item
which will be of interest to many of our
readers, as one of the parties to the transaction
is well-known in this vicinity, and is the son
of our good friend Thomas Duff, Esq, who
resides four miles north of this place:
An occasion of much pleasure and genuine
enjoyment to large circle of friends of the
happy principals come off at the residence of
Colonel VIM. Espy, in Scott township, last
night. It was the marriage of Miss Anna L.,
one of the younger daughters of Col. Espy, to
Rev. d. A. Duff, of the L. p. Church, Stew
art-station. Half-past eight o'clock was the
| time fixed for the ceremony, and at that hour
the spacious mansion was thronged with invit-
ed guests about hundred and fifty having
assembled, representing the surrounding
country as well as both Pittsburgh and
Allegheny.
! The house was hung with flowers and
wreaths, and these, Illuminated by Chinese
| lanterns, gave it brilliant and fairy-lille ap-
pearance Toerge's band was present for the
occasion, and when the time arrived for the
appearance of bridal pair and their attendants,
the musicians struck up the Wedding March.
The bridesmaids were Miss Mollie Duff, Miss
Eva Carnahan, Miss Rettie Gilfillan and Miss
Maggie Murray.
The bride was arrayed in a white silk, made
with full sleeves, low cut bodice and long
| train. The Overskirt was Of fine point lace
The bridal vail was very heavy, reaching to
the floor and trailing with the dress, while
coral jewelry, orange buds and blossoms in
her hair, white silk, feather-tipped fan, and
bouquet completed the bridal adornments.
The groom was arrayed in full evening dress,
and had four attendants. These latter appear
ed not in the old style as groomsmen, but as
ushers, in advance, and as attendants to the
brides friends, after the ceremony. They
were Messrs. Joseph S. Mercer, Mcfarland,
Joseph Duff and Shaw.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. ]. c.
Boyd, assisted by Rev. DR.. A. NJ. Reid, of the
Steubenville seminary, of which institution
the bride was graduate. The bridal pair left
on wedding tour at half-past 12 o'clock train
for Philadelphia, where they will make a brief
stay, afterward visiting New York, Boston,
Washington and other points of interest.

We presume that st. Clairsville has done as
much talking, and attendedas many meetings,
and had as many serious thoughts about the
feasibility of a railroad from that town to
somewhere, as any town of its size in the civ
ilIzed world. And yet nothing comes of it.
1t now looks as if the country might celebrate
its second centennial before the much talked-of
road will be -Intelligencer.
St. Clairsville could have long since had a
''switch, like unto that which Wheeling has,
but they are not satisfied with that kind of a
railroad Next.
