A wedding took place in Peoria last eve
ming which will interest good many
Rock Islanders, the parties being Mr..
D. &. Woods, son of Alderman II. +,
Woods, Of this city, aud Miss Lizzie S.
Stanley, daughter Of Mr. B, o. Stanley,
formerly of the Island City Hotel IN this
city. 1ha Peoria Democrat of this morn
ing has half column article in regard to
the wedding, together with a long list of
presents, From the article we clip the
following:
The bride has many friends in this city,
her parents having formerly lived here,
and she being niece Of Mr.. j. S. Clark
of the Merchants Hotel For the past
two years she has been teaching school at
GeDeseO. At half-past eight o'clock Il
small company Of invited guests was as
sembled in the cosy private parlCrs OF the
Merchants, and at that time the bride
and groom, simply attired, entered the
room. The bride. lovely blonde, looked
l0YeEer than ever. with the smile that
bctokened present happiness, while the
groom countenance betrayed equal hap
plness. The ceremony was performed
briefly and impressiveIy by Rev. A. 4.
Stevens, pastor of the Congregational
church, and then the two were one for
veal or woe, what'er betide. Bushingly
they received the congratulations of their
assembled friends. After hearty congrat-
ulations and bounttul supper, the rest
of the evening was passed 10 the mutual
! pleasures of social conversation The
bride and groom, later in the evening,
departed for Rock Island, their future
home, carrying with them the best wishes
Of their friends for eternal happiness and
increasing prosperity,
| The wedding had been set for yesterday
morning, and the groom's parents were
expected to arrive from Rock Island. Not
coming, the affair was postponed unit
evening, when, they still not coming, the
ceremony was performed without them
Their absence was bitter disappointment
to all concerned.

Darts Hall--Roller Skating.

IF any evidence was wanted to establish
the popularity of roller skating, a visit to
Darts Hall last evening would have salts
fed anyone. The attendance was good and it
is worthy of mention, as we'll as speak, ng
favorably of those having the affair in
charge, that those present were of the
better class of citizens, there being an
entire absence Of the rough element This
is as it should be aud will add very much
to the success of the new enterprise. 1t
is an amusement promoting health and if
continued to be managed with the same
care which has characterized it thus far,
cannot fail to become one of the fixed so
clal enjoyments of the season, Messrs.
Fenton u Schriver, the proprietors are
courteous and obliging and will use every
endeavor to have the assemblages at all
times select and recherche, and so long as
it continues to be managed with like care
is deserving of, and should receive, the
patronage Of our citizens.

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common 10
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator, The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any Of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

IRE Voice Of the People.

The voice of the people has made itself
heard. The great meetings mi
Springfield, Illinois, Washington, Co
lumbus and Indianapolis prove that
the Democratic and Independent masses
are determined not to abate jot or title
of their just demands. From the morning
after election, when the corrupt design OF
the Republican leaders to count in Hayes
was fully formed, until now, they have
relied on the acquiescence of the pee
pie in their acts. They trusted to their
submission to any wrong rather than bring
on a struggle They believed that the
men whose fathers fought for the principle
of representation with taxation, would
tamely allow corrupt administration to
wrest from them the right to choose their
own rulers. By this time they have
learned their mistake. The people have
kept the peace, and propose to.keepit, but
because they have been silent they have
been by no means Indifferent or unwatch
| full, They have preserved throughout OIL
unbroken front, and have not yielded ;
single inch to the Republicans. On thu
contrary, all the gains are on the side o
the Democrats. The number of Republi
cans who concede Tilden's election i
growing every day, aud the time is not ia
distant when they will be heard from
while the Democrats are showing ever
day a more resolute determination to stan
up for their rights They are nc
ashamed to meet IN public, discuss tn
situation, and denounce the plot to manu-
facture a president. Do the Republican
meet2 They dare not, for they know tina
the first step towards public expressio
of opinion or an organization to supper
Mr.. Hayes claims would disclose the fat
that large proportion of their own part
are against them in this matter. To SCUM
the call to meet would only give the sign;
for the fatal division to show itself. Ho'
resolute and how fred with patriotic yea
the Democratic masses are, the meeting
Of the Sth Of January attest. They hav
only to preserve this infexible attitude
and the contemplated outrage on the pee
pie will be frustrated, once and forever.
