A DOUBLE WEDDING.-The resi-.
dence of George Tenant, Esq, was
the scene Thursday evening Of the
rare and interesting occasion of a
double marriage. A large number Of
friends were present to witness the GER
emony, and welcome the happy brides
into the family circle. The provision
made for the entertainment Of the nu-
merous guests was varied and bounti-
full, and dispensed with overlooking
hospitality. The kind host and host
ess, with other members of the family,
assiduously contributed to the comfort
and enjoyment of all, and all felt that
the festivities thus provided entirely
comported with the novelty of the
event.
The ceremony was held at eight o.

which the minister declared as one
Mr.. James Tenant of Frostburg and

gether let no man put asunder.'
In due time sumptuous supper
was partaken and, later, refreshments
of ice cream, cakes, nuts, etc. Mean
while, the Frostburg City Band led by
Mr.. Frank Schaub, contributed its
choice music. In theparlor, the beau

given by Messrs. Owen Price, dead
ing. J Samuel Mears, Benjamin Yates
and Samuel Crook. This was followed
successfully by Happy Because We
are Poor and Jolly Wagoners' S.
Mears The Sword of Bunker Hill,

Letter from Horatio Seymour.

UTICA, May 2.-the Observer this after
noon publishes the following letter from
Gov. Seymour in reference to the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency:
have not felt that a few complimentary
notices have placed me in the list of those
seriously thought Of as candidates for the
Presidency. While, therefore, have con-
stantly answered to all those who have
spoken to me on the subject that could
not accept nomination even in the i'm
probable event that one should be rendered,
have not thought that there was enough
in the suggestion of my name to make it a
matter of good taste to say anything over
my signature. But an article in yesterdays
Utica Herald may embarrass others, and
place them In false positions. It assumes
that certain delegates that it names are in
favor of my nomination and against that
of Mr.. Tilden. know that many Of them
are his earnest supporters. While some of
them would not be in my favor if was a
candidate, feel that it is due to the dele
gates named, many of whom are warm
personal friends, to save them the embar--
rassmant of denying the statement that
they go to the National Democratic Con-
vention with any view of bringing forward
my name or OF opposing the nomination Of
Mr.. Tilden. am, truly yours, &C.,
HORATIo SEYMOUR.

A Burning Rock.

The Charlotte IN. CO. Observer says
"The family of Mr.. J. G. Freeland, who
lives seven miles from this city, on the
North Carolina Railroad, bore witness, on
Friday last about midday, to singular
sight. Some member of the family was
standing on the porch, when casting his
eye forward, he saw bright light OF an
egg shape. spring up from the ground about
two hundred yards from the house, on a
small eminence close TO the railroad. lie
called the attention of the other members
of the family to the sight, and they watched
it until it reached the size of half-bushel
measure. After burning this way Tor
awhile the light suddenly went out, and
those who had seen it ran to the spot
where it had been seen. There they found
rock, which, as they could tell from one
side of it, was white flint. 1t was very
black on one side, and was too hot to be
handled at first. When it had cooled 1T

two. 1t was found very brittle, and could

Texts From the Talmud.

If thy wife be small, bend down to her
and speak to her I do n9thing without hef
ADVICE.
Everything else in life can be replaced |;
the wife of early days is irreplaceable.
An honorable man honors his wife; a con-
temptible one despiseth her.
The loss of first wife is like the loss Of
mans sanctuary In his lifetime.
If man divorces his wife, the altar itself
sheds tears oyer him.
Man and wife well matched have heavens
glory ag their cnmpanien man and woman
i'll matched are encircled by devouring
fire.
Rather any ache than heart-ache rather
any evil than an evil wife,
He who loYeth his wife like himself, and
hnnoreth her even more than himself; who
leadeth his sons and his daughters in the
path of integrity, and who provides for
their settlement in early life; to him may
be applied the Scripture passage, "Thou
shalt know that peace shall adorn thy
tent
A man who takes wife for the sake of
her money rears ill-behaved and unruly
children.
He who malries woman eongeniai to
himself il loved by the Almighty.
When man loseth his wife, the world
around him groweth dark, the light in his
tent is dim, and the light before him is ex-
tinguished.
He who has no wife lives without aou.
fort, without help without joy; and with
out blessing.
An cid man in the house is q terror an
old woman is a pearl.

How Barney Williams Proposed.

The New York Sun says: In August,
lo45, Barney Williams returned to this city
and became manager of Vauxhall Garden,
and while he was manager there Dan Bry-
ant made his debut as boy negro dancer.
Not finding ultimate success at Vauxha1I
Garden, Barney drifted back to the Chat
ham Theatre, where Miss Maria Kathleen
Pray was in the ballet. She was soon mar
ried to Charles Mestayer, and after his
death returned to the Chatham, and became
popular as fancy dancer and second SOU
brette. In 1850 Barney was still in the
| company, and Joe Jefferson was the low
comedian. His first wife, Maggie Lock-
yer, whom he first knew as young ballet
girl of the Bowery, was dead, and he be-
gan to admire the pretty Mrs. Mestayer.
Barney was also impressed by her, but
both were too shy to offer themselves, and
neither knew the others feelings. One
evening Joe asked Barney, as they were
dressing for the stage, to make Mrs. Mes
tayer an offer ON his behalf. Barney was
staggered, but he heroically resolved to

sent for. and the couple were married be-
tween the second and third acts.
Two years later Mr.. and Mrs. Barney
Williams determined ON starring, he as ar
Irishman, and she as both an Irish and
Yankee girl. Some pieces were patched
up in which they appeared in the Chatham
and at length they started on tour.

A SWEET LADY.
Taken in and Done Tor-How Miss Ada Be-
came Pension Agent.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Miss Ada c
Sweet, pension agent at Chicago, testified
before the committee to charges of paying
money for her position as pension agent
She testified that she was an applicant fol
the position, and in consideration of re.
celvlng the appointment agreed to pay
David Blakely, pension agent, 50, 100, and
was directed BY him to pay the money over
to b. IL. Campbell, then as now, United
States Marshal, for that district. When
she had paid the sum of 81, 100, she notified
Blakely and Campbell that she had per-
formed her part Of the contract, but Camp
bell told her that was not correct, that he
had note against Blakely for So, 600, and
she was to pay the whole of that note.
Witness stated that Campbell was Bah
cocks father-in-law. Considerable CORES
pondence passed between all the parties on
the subject. Blakely was also a defaulter
in the sum Of $1,000. When he turned the
Office over to Miss Sweet he let her have
$37,OO and induced her to give him re-
ceipt for $4,000 to
COVER UP HIS DEFICIT,
and promised to attend to it in few weeks,
de did not do SO, and when the office was
visited by an official from the pension Of
flee, and Miss Sweet told him the whole
story, the agent told her he would delay an
examination of her Office until he was on
his return trip, SO as to allow some further
time for paying this deficit. One day after
the Minnesota election, Gen. J. H. Baker,
of Missouri, commissioner of pensions, and
Blakely, came into her Office aud demand
ed that the amount of the $4,000 deficit
shonld be paid that day, and charged it
upon her as her own deficit. She went to
Campbell and between them the amount
was raised. Campbell gave her note for
about 81, 800, which she endorsed got dis
counted and she raised the balance of S.
600. In this way the deficit was made up
on that occasion. Blakely and commission
er Baker were great friends, and Baker
knew of the arrangements which she made
with Blakely. When the president found
out that she was paying out money for her
appointment, he notified her that a contin-
uance of it would be sufficient
CAUSE FOR HER REMOVAL.
This was after she had paid the $4,000.
She had paid out so much on that account
that so far she had received no benefit from
her appointment as pension agent but had
run into debt, and was still behind about
$4,000. Baker is now surveyor general for
Minnesota, and Blakely is publishing a
paper somewhere in that vicinity. Ad-
ourned until Saturday.
