ago in this city an acquaintance,
courtship, and marriage all transpir-
ed within fifteen minutes. A gent
leman met a lady in company by ac-
cidont, proposed to her, she accept
ed, carrying out joke. rs she sup
posed the license were procured in
q few minutes, and the lady inform-
ed, to her astonishment that took
away her breath. that oil was ready
when she began to consider and ro-
alize what it all meant. She was in
hnenced, however, to abide by her
decision given in fun but few min
utes before, and merely asked for
time to change her apparel, but this
was denied her by the impatient
groom. He said it must be finished
up right of, then and there without
delay, and the knot was tied instan-
ter at ninety-fve degrees in the tho
shado-all in n quarter of an hour
and housekeeping actually com
menced within thirty minutes.

Twenty thousand men aud boys
went to work last week in The
schuyikill coal regions, after an en-
forced idleness Of some time. Not
only has the Reading railroad set
all it's collieries in operation, but
it hopes 10 keep them going with
out cessation for the remainder ol
the season. Freights for coal have
gone up slightly and so have prices,
a nd the result will be better wages
for the workmen. The outlook in

CRors.-In this country the crops
OF cereals and cotton promise to be
abundant, and from Egypt we hear
that tho cotton crop is failure from

siderable demand for grain from
Europe is probable, for, although
the war has ceased, the armies arc
kept up, and men who carry guns
can not cultivate wheat fields. Our
export commerce should improve.

Friday afternoon, says the Sunbury
american Daily, as the passenger train
going south had emerged from the
bridge at the narrows and was ap-
preaching the crossing, Mr.. Henry
Shipe, seated on wagon loaded with
corn, applied the whip to his horse
and attempted to cross in front of it..
The horse was little slow In respond
ing, however, and the pilot Of the To-
comotive which came rushing up
struck the back part of the wagon
with such force that both wheels were
wrenched off, the corn sent flying in
every direction, and Mr.. Shipe thrown
out. The train was stopped and sew
eral passengers got out to see the result
ofthe accident, while Mr.. Chas. Garin-
ger, who was working near by dropped
his tools and hastened to render what
assistance might be needed. All ex-
pected, of course, to find Mr.. Shipe
severely injured, but, remarkable as
1t may seem, he arose from where he
Lad fallen and proclaimed himself un-
hnrt. As proofof his sound condi-
ton he walked to q neighbor's bor-
rowed another wagon and, coming
back, reloaded his corn and drove on.
Mr.. Ships ID Is years Of age, and how
he withstood such q severe shock is
marvellous.
