MARRIED,

liz this city, Tuesday. December 18th. at
the residence Of the brides parents, by the
Rev. John Kirby, Mr.. Il. Z. Murdoch ana
Miss Lou Caldwell.
The event was so sudden and unexpected
that we haven't sufficiently collected ourseif
for single remark, further than to wish our
ness.
Our cotemperary, the Bs1eon, notices the
occasion as follows:
r. P. Murdoch, junior of the Eagle, and Miss
Lou Caldwell, the accomplished daughter of j.
L. Caldwell were Joined in the holy bands of
matrimony Tuesday morning and left fer Empo-
ria on the clock train. This happy event was
not entirely unexpected, but the exact time OF its
contamination took the numerous friends of the
pair by surprise. party OF gentlemen with
Mosques went to the residence of the bride about
10 o'clock Monday night, and gave the m n choice
serenadc which, much to the surprise of the per-
formers met with no recognitos at the hands Of
the supposed bride and groom, The real facts in
the case explained this in salts factory manner.
About II clock, midnight, 4 large and well or
ganized party of calithumpians, numbering be-
tween three and four hundred, with COW bells,
horns triangles bass drums, horse fiddles, and
every other ilendish device for making night hid :
eous, proceeded to give the supposed married
couple benefit. They kept up their internal
racket til nearly O'Clock in the morning. The
party was composed Of gentlemen learned in the
law, judges, bankers, merchants, clerks, and
from these all the way down to the street gamins
Many who were aroused from their slumbers,
supposed the town had been raided by band o.
Comanchc Indians and that they were having q
big war dance. 1t certainly would have done
these children of The plains infinite credit, and il
they had heard it their jealousy would have been
aroused We have been inclined to think thai
this custom is better adapted TO 4 semi-civilized
or barbarous people than to highly civilized and
self-respecting community; but since il has re-
ceiYed the encouragement of so many of our higl
toned citizens We conclude we mistaken.

For the EAGLE.
Memorial of Grant Matthews.

Deaths angel has visited our city,
Carried another soul away;
That OF a kind, good boy,
That will be mourned for many day.
Slowly deaths angel came near
And carried upward to the skies
A soul which was so dear;
Sent for by the Lord of Paradise.
Day by day thousands pass away,
From the earth here below,
To a home better and pleasanter,
Although we have TO part from those WI
love.
We all must some time or other
Part from those we love.
We should all be prepared
For the beautiful home above.
How little do we know how soon,
When our time has come.
We should pleasantly meet our doom,
When the Lord will call us home.
When your friends have departed,
You should be very glad,
That their sorrow are no more,
And they are happy on yonder shore.
A FRIEND.

Wichita, more especially our old patrons, I'm
derstand full well that they can reach a much
larger number OF people Of this valley through

other paper or papers printed or circulated
here-that we never bore.by personal soicita
tions a class of men, who above all others are
supposed to know their own business, and
VINO have a full understanding OF these mat
tiers, still many OF them do not know
that we have just received the largest, finest
and most complete assortment of job material
ever brought to this section OF the State, con-
sisting Of fancy types, new patent faces, Gle
CANT scripts and texts, beautiful borders,

barrass them by personal solicitations, we

ere ased facilities Tor giving entire satisfaction

aeter.

There are characters about this town who,
if not desperate by nature or training, have
become 30 by the pressure of surroundings.
Several residents OF the county, in returning
home at night, have been stopped upon the
road. Major Burr, of Rockford township,
last Wednesday night was stopped and
forced to deliver mis- pocket book, by an
armed villain, who was completely masked
and mounted. Fortunately his money was
IN bis vest pocket and the robber lett. An
other man, the same night. on the same road :,
a stranger 10 Us, had pistol presented to his
head and was relieved OF between thirty and
loriy dollars, which he received for wheat a
