On Wednesday q noted and wealthy
belle of Richmond, Miss Matte Allen
was marrid to distinguished tobacco
merchant of tn at city, Mr.. N. M. Wilson,
ceremonies, according TO the State, were
unusually grand for this section of the
country. AS many as 1000 guests were
invited 100 of whom attended, and the
bridal presents amounted to as much as
$1e,0C0.
The happy couple have. planned a
splendid bridal tour. They will leave this
afternoon on the Richmond Fredericks-
burg aud Potomac railroad for New FORK
where they will remain ten days and
then sail in the Cunard-line steamer;
Scythia for Liverpool. They will make an
expended tour through England and the
continent, taking in Paris, Italy and the
Rhine. Their friends to-day decorated the
bridal car which will bear them from
Richmond with garlands of flower,
Many of their friends will meet them at
the depot so take an affectionate farewell,
and the kindest and sincerest prayers OF
hundreds ofadmirers will follow them in
their voyage across the sea. Aud thus
has ended grand social event which has
stirred society more and attracted more
public attention than anything which has
taken place in Richmond for many long
wear.

HALE's HISTORY.
In Washington's army was crack
regiment from Connecticut, composed
of men of superior intelligence, who
had lived in towns and had known
some maritime life. Their Colonel
was Knowlton, who had figured in
the French, wars and fought at Bun
ker Hill. washington applied to him
for volunteer to cross to Long Is
land. He suggested Nathan Hale, one
captains. Whether Hale ever saw
Washington is matter of surmise;
at any rate he undertook the commits
sion, but instead of crossing over dI-
rectly to Brooklyn he retired up the
Connecticut shore of the sound, and
possessing an order to take any vessel
he might find, dropped over TO one of
the small towns. twenty, thirty, or
more miles east of Brooklyn. Then he
visited the British army In civil dis
guise-as a schoolmaster some say
and made accurate tabulations of
their numbers and wrote down the
gossip of their officers. Returning to
Oyster Bay or Huntington, a Tory
kinsman exposed him. He was taken
to the island of New York to the
greenhouse of a mansion on Kip's
Bay-where the voluptuous Howe
made his headquarters. and slept there
all night. British aides examined
him. He was clearly spy, but spy
made so by Washington. No man
since Moses had the power to give a
spy such respite. The night Hale was
taken the patriots, or the thieves, or
accident set New York fire, That
doomed him. The next day. in the
midst of the British fury and the desc
lation of half the city by the flames
Hale was taken to the Hall of Records
kept there little while, and walked
out to the apple orchard. A few weep
ing women saw him die, the class
who saw him the death that art has
EN- balmed.

IncendlarY HoodIums.

Last Monday afternoon a party OF
boys, just out of school, set fire to a pile
of dry manure in rear of Mr.. John
Nagle's stable, and but for the timely
arrival of neighbors with water a
serious confagration would have en-
sued.
AT about the same time a pile of
combustible material was placed under
a wagon near Mr.. II. N. Orr's stable,
and fired. The wheels of the wagon
were blazing when parties who wit
messed the affair arrived with water.
Mr.. Orr, ''or any other man. who
catches young hoodlums engaged in
such devilish work, will be justified in
taking severe measures. If this thing
is kept up much longer it will be nee
essary to supply police to escort school
boys home after their study hours
are over.

To the Editor Of The Leader:
1 have received the following letter
from the Rev. II. L. Myrick, chaplain
of the Penitentiary at Laramie City:
1.-The prisoners in the P~enitentiary in
this place are almost entirely without
reading matter. Can you not get to-
gether something of the kind from your
citizens and forward it to me. Old
newspapers, magazines and books-any
kind of healthy reading, either secular
or religious, will be acceptable. The
poor fellows are almost entirely forgot
ten by outsiders. L seem to be about
their only dependence. 1 will do what
L can here, as L have done already"
1 earnestly ask all who have any
reading matter to spare to send it to
me at the Episcopal rectory, and l will
forward it to Mr.. Myrick. 1 trust
there will be an early and liberal re-
spouse to this appeal.

Another siokening tragedy .Oc-
curred-this time on the lime OF he
Union Pacific, about IS miles west 3
this city. The Waterman at snow shed
No. 10, F. Cooper by name, was paid off
Monday, and took a trip to Tie Siding
for recreation. While there he imbibed
considerable whisky, and was drunk
when he started for his post of duty.
He must have reached the shed, walked
about half way through it, and then
laid down upon the track to sleep. The
interior of these sheds is quite dark,
and therefore, when an east bound
freight came along Tuesday morning,
the engineer did not discover Cooper
until he was almost upon him and it
was too late to stop. The signal was
given for ''down brakes" but the en-
CINE and several ears passed over the
man before the train came to a stand
still. When the train men reached the
spot the man was dead, although his
body was still warm. His head, COM
pletely severed from the body, was
lying several feet away; the body had
been cut in twain about the centre of
the abdomen, and both arms were cut
to pieces.
The remains were gathered up and
conveyed to Sherman, where an in
Quest was held in the afternoon the
verdict being in accordance with the
above facts.
