A USEF UL IN VENT ON.-Recently
Messrs. j. W. Harris and Jas. Weed, of Por.
terfield's branch in the Eastern part of the
county, have completed an invention, which
if it fulils its promise, of which so far as
experiments have been made, there is little
doubt, is destined to make a revolution in
the branch of trade to which it belongs. 1t
is an iron wheel for buggies, wagons, &c.
OF the same circumference as an ordinary
wheel, it presents neater and more deli
cate appearance, and it is claimed is far more
substantial and durable. The hub of the
buggy wheel is about six inches long, about
two inches in diameter, and is provided i'll
side with an annular collar, with which the
spokes, of wrought iron three-eights OF an
inch, are connected. The spokes are screwed
through the felloes and tire, and the princi-
pie OF suspension is made to operate. For
instance, wheE on the side of a hill, where
the strain is borne, in an ordinary wheel, by
that part next the ground, upon the prin-
ciple of suspension it falls equally upon all
sections of the wheel. &The inventors have
subjected their improvement to the severest
of tests with the most satisfactory results,
and feel assured Of its success. Its great OBJ
iect is to substitute iron for wood, and at
the same time furnish an article as cheap
and far stronger and more lasting. Monday
last the patentees had their patent on exhi-
bition: and it was certainly neat job, al
though put together in an ordinary coun-
try blacksmith shop. With the proper ma.
chinery it can be perfected in finish, and
we should not be surprised to hear OF it's
general introduction, when its merits are
known.

Mt. CHAPEL SCHooL.-The closing ex-
ercises of Mt. Chapel Public School, VIM.
Stiles, teacher, near West View, on the 4th
Instant were interesting. There was about
three hundred recitations, embracing dia-
logues and declarations, by the scholars,
all OF whom acquitted themselves creditably.
The maximum of the attendance at the
school during the session was about 40, and
the result of the term was very gratifying
to the parents Of the children. The exer-
clses were interspersed with music, and
closed with general examination of the
scholars in the various studies, showing
marked progress There were about three
hundred persons present, both white and
colored, and all seemed pleased with the i'm
provement shown.

large congregation assem-.
bled at the Episcopal church yesterday
morning to witness the marriage of Mr.. Jos
b. Woodward. the popular deputy clerk Of
the County Court, and Miss Leila W. Beers.
daughter of Mrs. Leila A. Beers, and one Of
the most cultivated and attractive young la
dies OF Staunton. There were no attendants,
and after the ceremony had been performed
by Rev. Mr.. Hullihen, the happy couple
started on tour of the northern cities. At
the train large number of friends crowded
around to offer congratulations, and they
were sincere congratulations, for few indeed
are held in such high esteem as these two
who have started together over the rugged
pathway of life. In their wanderngs they
will be followed by the heartiest of good
wishes, and may their future be as bright as
their happy union presages.
Among the many handsome presents,
was an elegant silver service consisting OF
six pecies. 1t was the tribute of the men,
bers CT the Staunton Bar and officers of the
Court to the sterling worth of the young
groom, and showed in what esteem he was
held by those who came in daily cont act
with him. All of the presents were pur-
chased at the establishment of Lipscomb &
Somerville.
In Baltimore, last week, Miss Ella G..
Huffman, former pupil at the Wesleyan
Female Institute, was married to Mr.. Gus
tavus Warfield, of Howard County, Mo.
The wedding was quite fashionable one,
and among the guests were Misses Matte
and Belle Harris, of this city. Miss Huff
man will be remembered as a fine contralto
singer, one of the best of Miss Lizzie Dam
iel's class.
