We were clad to meet at New

Apropos of weddings. and wedding
cakes received by the FREE PRESS, it
will be seen by o notice elsewhere,
that our friend p. j. @. Smith has
gone the way all bachelors should go.

Hays county, is still zone Of the elect,
and has entered into possession, in his
own right. ola much greater treasure.
For what saith the poet2 The treas
ures of the deep are not 40 precious as
that man possesses who is locked up
in woman's love"--or words to that
effect. So no doubt the Iuey will
cling to the happy Mr.. Smith. May
other miserable old bachelors take
courage and initiate Peter's example,

The pleasures of our New Braun
tels trip were somewhat married by the
ride home at night, which was rainy
and dark. Soon after reaching the
Guadalupe, Fritz, who was driving,
brought up against fence. Hofheinz
was confident he could do better, and
took the reins. but soon came to grief
also in q similar manner. Thus it
went on pretty much all the way. Hof
heinz once got out to reconnoltre,
and soon uttered an exclamation of
pain, stating that he was hurt by the
"cuckle. berries" With some difficulty
it was ascertained that the poor man
meant prickly pears. A mysterious
sort Of pocket pistol" which we
thought we saw passing from hand to
hand 10 the hack, may have had some
thing to do with these various misad'
ventures.

A Tombstone by Auction.

A great deal of excitement was occa-
stoned in Atlanta on Saturday by a Mr..
D. N. Judson offering at public sale a
tombstone on which was engraved the
name of little son of well known
Georgia lawyer. Mr.. Judson explained
that the tombstone had been engraved
some time ago, at the order of the father
of the child. 1t was sent to him, and
had remained with him for several years.
He having failedto pay for it, Mr.. Jud-
son then went to the town in which he
lived, and levying on it by right of own
ership, brought it back to Atlanta to sell
it. He also had some articles of silver
ware which the father and mother of the
child had placed in his hands as COL
lateral for the gravestone. Mr.. Anthony
Murphy, having been informed as to the
facts in the case, promptly bought the
tombstone himself, having it made over
to the mother of the child. Another
gentleman paid the freight and shipping
expenses, and it was sent off on Satur-
day.-AtlantG Constitution.

Gen. Joe Johnston.

Of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Col
Avery, of Georgia, writes: "With all
his stern courage and powerful intellec-
uality, Gen. Johnston is as tender-na-
tured as a woman. This has been strik-
ingly shown in his beautiful devotion to
his invalid wife. This lady is daughter
of the Hon. Louis Mclean, of Della
ware, Representative, United States
Senator, Minister to England, twice
President Jackson's Secretary of Treas
ury and State, and finally President OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
relationship of this couple-the distin-
guished soldier and the daughter of a
no less distinguished statesman is an
exquisite picture of married harmony,
illustrating alike the chivalric manhood
of the one and the clinging gentleness
of the other"

A Singular Accident.

Last week two bark peelers in the
woods near Morsston, Sullivan County,
N. Y, to test their skill as choppers,
exchanged axes, and appointed a third
man referee. Each was to chop on OPP
posite sides of tree, and the one that
brought the heart of the tree to view
first was to be the winner. The chips
flew under the vigorous blows. Sud-
denly the ak of one of the choppers
flew from its helve and struck the other
chopper, one Worden, in the back be-
meath the shoulder blade, and then hit
the referee in the neck under the chin.
Both men were knocked down. Wor-
denis wound is serious, the AK blade
cutting its full width, reaching his lung
and slightly woundingit. The referees
injuries were not so serious, as the back
of the ak struck his neck, tearing away
the skin across his throat.-ELtenriNe

A Tussle With q Bear.

The Tacoma wv. T) Herald says !:
On last Monday, the 18th inst, several
young men were out hunting on horse
back, and when near VIM. Nelson's
farm they suddenly came upon two
large bears. They fired upon them and
succeeded in killing one, but the other
ran for the timber and passed out OF
sight, Notwithstanding that one
the boys, Johnny Northover, put four
charges of buckshot into him at short
range. As the bear seemed likely to
escape, Adam Benson said he would
ride around the thicket, which was a
short distance, and head him off. He
accordingly started off alone, and
reached the other side of the wood be-
fore the bear. He dismounted and tied
his horse to tree, and had waited but
few moments when the Infatuated
beast broke from the timber and rushed
for him. He fired two shots, but the
bear was upon him. The beast rose
upon his hind legs as Adam struck at
him with his rifle, and knocked the
weapon from his hands. Then, with a
stroke of his paw, he felled Adam to the
earth, knocking him between two logs,
and commenced to bite and claw him.
Adam held the beast from his throat by
grasping him by the shaggy hair
on each side of his. head.
He is powerful young man, but
he felt his strength beginning to fail,
and he knew that his only hope was in
the knife that he carried in his belt.
He let 60 Of the bear with his right
hand and reached for the knife, but
found it was gone. Thrusting the emp
ty sheath into the BEARS mouth, he gave
himself up for lost. The bear was
mangling the muscle of his arm in a
terrible manner and would soon have
killed him, had not Jack Barnes's dog
Rover come upon them. The dog at
tackled the bear fiercely and compelled
him to leave Adam, who managed to
crawl upon his horse and rode back to
the rest of the party who had stop
ped to skin the other bear. When he
reached them he was too weak to tell
them what had happened. His friends
carried him home, and on the way he
managed to tell them that he was not
anxious to box with bear soon again.
The hunters went to look for the bear,
but found that he had escaped. As
Benson's injuries are all flesh wounds it
is thought he will soon recover, but he
may lose the use of one arm.

A valuable Improvement in Cooking
Stoves.

The utility and convenience of a shelf at
..cbment TO the oven OF cooking stoves Is now
Universally acknowledged by all housekeep-
as who have used or seen them, and II Is q
matter of choice whether the shelf Is perma-
msntly attached to the side of the stove or
nnnoencd and closed inside Of the oven by the
vmrovement Of the door. The Grand Charter
nsk will hereafter be constructed so as either
he automatic or permanent shelf can be Or
dared with any size. Our attention has been
cslled TO u circular containing caution
acajnst the use of automatic shelves, issued
Nv certain parties who claim to own letters
nas,ent No. 10000, stating that they have
brought suit against this Company for in.
frngement on said patent, and warning all
persons not to buy or use stoves having such
shelves and made by us. We have only this
10 say in regard to the matter, that zoe shat
rig0rously defend this suit, and have no
dombt of our success In such defense, and
Ierebv dgree to protect each and every per-
Son bapiiig, selling or using our Grand Char
tsr oak, or other stoves OF our manufacture
from any damage by reason of any claim said
narties can have under said letters patent.
nnr construction Of shelves is not only cover
ed and fully protected by valid letters patent
owned by us, but are acknowledged by deal
era and all others who have seen them to be
much more simple in cOnstructiOn,tO operate
der than any other kind in the market. We
will cheerfully ship sample Of our Grand
Charter Oak with an automatic shelf to any
responsible dealer or hOusekeeper who de-
sires to examine 1t before purchasing, and at
end of ten days, II 1t is not acknowledged as
having more convcniences and being the best
constructed, finest finished, most elegantly
proportioned, perfectly operating and heavi-
