behind lovely and lonely maiden to
await his coming at some future time,
when his finances would admit of marri-
age. This time had come this week, but
ON account OF ouslne engagements, the
young man found he could not make the
trip East. A friend from the West was
commissioned to take the young woman
TO Georgetown, where the ceremony
would be performed. This arrangement
though entirely in accordance with the
young lady's wishes did not suit her
mother, who so strenuonsly objected to

some other Plan must be adopted or tho
affair postponed.
The girl had waited long already, and
nothing but distance seemed to stand in
the way, so at the suggestion of Rev.
Geo. Carpenter the telegraph was called
into service. This calmed the old lady's
objections, and the preacher performed
the ceremony. No cards. The only
spectators were friend or two. From

A PENNSYLVANIA Gas We'll.

correspondence of the Chicago Tribunc.]
One OF the greatest euriosities in Penn
svlvania ut this time is the gas well at 81 ur-
raysville, in Westmoreland county. The
well was sunk for oil, but when depth OF
about two hundred feet had been reached
the flow OF gas became so powerful that bor-
ing operations had to be suspended. Tubing
was soon Put in, which greatly increased the
velocity OF the immense current issuing
from the well. which is now rushing forth
with velocity of probably 100 miles an
hour, accompanied by ror that is almost
deafening. At night the gas settles on
the ground for a quarter Of mile or more
around the well, presenting the appear
ance of a dense fog, which it is i'm
possible TO penetrate, owing to the sitting
odor which it emits. People living IN the vi
cinity of the we'll being apprehensive of
danger from fire, Mr.. Havmaker, ,ene OF the
proprietors, came to Pittsburgh yesterday
and purchased quantity Of tubing through
which to convey the gas to the middle OF a
neighboring field. This was accomplished
last night, and the gas ignted 1t emitted
a clear, steady flame OF intense brilliancy,
and lighted up the country for miles around.
A number OF persons have been negotia-
ting for the purchase OF the wefl-among
others, q Buffalo firm, who have offered
$4,000 for it; but the propristors, who
value it at $4,000. have rejected all offers.
They propose to utilize the gas ia develop
ing the town Of Murraysville and adjacent
country

A submarine plant growing in the North
Pacific Ocean, che of the MclanospermS,
and known to betanists as the MGcr0cistiS
Pvriterd, is said to dwarf all vegetable pro-
ducts yet known by its prodigious proper
tons. 1t grows sometimes to such size SIS
to cover vast areas Of sea-bed, one specimen
having been discovered that occupied by
measurement three square miles, while the
stem was eight feet thick. 1t is difficult 10
conceive of such plsnt, and to understand
hosy any adequate system OF nourisbment
can be maintained through so extended
channels. The Macroctetis leaves the ia
nous Big Trees Of California UNNECESSARILY
behind, making them seem, indeed, like
small reeds. It has an infinite variety, some
specimens being so small as to be visible
only under powerful microscope. The
mucll-talx ed-of wonders OF nature are more
wonderful than has ever been coniectured,
as research and science are daily teaching
us. And still 1t is fair to presume that we
have not yet crossed the threshold Of the
temple OF discovery, within which are hid
den marvels that the most active and eXube-
rant imagination is unable to conceive. The
realm Of poetry is beautiful and inspiring.
but the world of fact exceeds it in every
way, illustrating constantly the old idea that
truth is stranger than fiction. Indeed, tic-
ton seems, even when most exaggerated, to
be little more than the pale shadow OF truth.
