Negro shot

From Mr.. Harrison We learn The fol-
lowing particulars OF the shooting OF a
negro ut Elders Station, three miles
above here on the n. o. aud NJ. road,
last Saturday. 1t appears that Mr..
John Bobee, a section boss, had occa.
sion TO discharge ole Of the hands in
his employ, which seemed to offend the
latter very much, and thereupon be
threatened the life Of B)bse. Ga Sat-
urday last the negro went to the house
Of BObse, and, after some harsh words,
showed Ms. Bobee aside and started
toward Mr.. Bobee with the remark
"I'll fix you;" at the same time putting
his hand in his pocker. Mr.. Bobee told
him not TO advance, bat the negro did
not heed his words, but advLncel on
him, when Bobee fired at him with a
pistol, the ball taking effect 10 the ne
gro's lungs. He is dangerously wound
ed, bat up to last adsices was still liv-
ing. DE-. B!ount says he will recover if
pueumoaia does not set in.
Mr.. B9bee, came to s ,ranton and gave
himself up to Deputy Sheriff HIrrison,
who carried him before Justice Chidsey,
when he WAS bound over for his appear
ance when wanted.

made any arrangements with any person or per-
sons whereby electoral certificates were to be
handed TO him by the Secretary OF state; he was
convinced he was lawfully appointed to replace
DIR. Watts and he put the certificates in his peck
ct because he was afraid they would be taken
from him by Odell and others; he had refused to
come to Washington as Messenger of the Electoral

Nj. Turner, Manager Western Union Telegraph

Wedding Customs and Costumes.

The bride selects the minister.
The congratulations are offered in the
church.
The sexton and organist are paid
from S15 to 800.
If the refreshments are eaten while
standing, etiquette and custom require
gloves to be worn.
The groom attends to the fee, which
has no stated figure, and it is handed
to the minister by the groomsman.
Floral decorations for the house are
very fashionable, and at this season of
the year the cost is very expensive.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen en-
ter the church first; then the groom
with the BRIDES mother, the bride with
her father.
The custom of making presents to
the bride is growing passc. 1t is printed
on n corner of the wedding card,
"No presents accepted"
Ii the bride is past twenty-five the
bridal veil is omitted; neither is this
fragile toilet accompaniment worn by
q widow at her second marriage.
Some somber. tinted cashmere, COM
bined with harmonizing silk, forms a
modish travelling costume for a bride.
The chapeau and gloves must corre-
spond in hue.
The custom has been arbitrary that
white is the only color for q bride, but
all this sort of outward purity is just at
present passe. Great liberty is permit
ted in the selection of bridal costumes
The groom's costume should be full
dress, if the brides is. In this case the
Goa is a dark blue. or black, cut swal-
low-tail; vest of white silk, tie of The
same; pantaloons black Or a pale
''party color"
The artistic purveyor provides the
refreshments at a cost of from 50 to
Sc for each guest, if a breakfast; when
a dinner is given the cost reaches from
$40 to $40 per head. These figures in
clude wine.
Very little jewelry is admissible if
the ceremony takes place in the church.
A home, or rather house wedding, gives
more latitude in this respect to the
bride. However, the display of a pro-
fusion of jewelry is deemed mai apro-
pos for a bridal toilet.
A rich wedding dress designed for
travelling wear has the demi-train form
ed of deep green cashmere, adorned
with neat knife-plaited ~ruffies, each one
surmounted with a velvet puff, made
scant. The polonaise is made of the
same material, and richly trimmed with
blue s~ilver-fox fur.
