on Thursday evening, to witness the nuptials

IN very solemn and impressive manner, and
the responses Of the bride and groom were
very distinct.

tended to Mr.. and Mrs. Reaver, after which
refreshments were served in an adjoining
room. The brides cake was one of the hand
soonest we have ever seen, and the table was
beautifully decorated with pyramids Of ice
cream and fruit, and showed that experienced
hands had charge of the affair. All was I'M
der the supervision of Mrs. John A. Irwin,
of Baltimore. Soon the inspiring notes Of
the violin we're heard, and the ball room be-
came the leading attraction, the enjoyment
being continued until late hour. One room
was entirely hiled with the presents to the
bride, among which were full chamber set
of furniture, dinner and tea set of china, same

An excursion train, returning from q
Moody and Sankey meeting, broke through a
tFestle bridge at Tarriifville, tweye miles
from Hartford, Conn, Tuesday night. Four
cars went into the river. The number of
killed is estimated all the way from FIVE to
twenty, and the injured at from fifteen to
twenty-five.
LATER.-Fourteen dead bodies have been
recovered from the river at the scene of the
railroad calamity on Tuesday night. The
bridge appears to have been faulty in con.
struction, though nearly new, and the unusual
strain of two engines coming upon it close
together, the iron rods first broke and then
the timber. Had one engine been at the fro.i
and the other at the rear it is believed there
: would have been no accident.

RAILROAD ExrERPRIsE-A meeting was
held in Baltimore on Thursday evening, to
consider final arrangements for building the
two closing links Of p miles of railroad to
complete route from Baltimore to Harris
burg and Shippensburg by connection with
the Western Maryland, the Baughman Valley,
the Hanover junction, Hanover and Gettys-
burg, and the Harrisburg aud Potomac rail-

tern Maryland railroad, we're also present.
1t was stated that on Saturday last the

Harrisburg and Potomac railroad to complete
the York Springs branch of that road, extern
ding distance of eleven miles. The con-
tractor is under obligations to have the road
ready for operation by July /, 1878. Ar
rangements are also about completed for con-
structing the only remaining link to complete
connection between point at or near Emory
Grove, on the Western Maryland Railroad,
and New Cumberland, on the west side of the
Susquehanna, where connection will be made
with the Harrisburg and Baltimore bridge.
This latter link is 1O4 miles long, in Adams

with the York Springs branch.
The Hanover Junction, Hanover and Get
tysburg road viii lease this link in perpetuity.
Dacy Bros. will construct both branches.

started Monday locating the York Springs
Branch, and that in a week or ten days he
will START force of men to work at grading.
The link TO connect the Western Maryland

construction for some time, and considerable
progress is reported.
The point of juneture with the Western
Maryland road has not been determined, but
it will be either at Emory Grove or Genrich's
Switch, three miles south of Reisterstown.
This road is known as the Baltimore and
Hanover railroad.

Local LEGIsIATIOx.-The bill enabling
the town of Manchester, this county, to issue
bonds to the amount of SIS, 900 in aid of the
Hanover Railroad, portion of the new line
by which the Cumberland Valley will be con
nected with Baltimore, was passed on Tues
day. Colonel Scharf endeayored to have the
bill referred to the Judiciary Committee in
order to decide upon its constitutionaliiy.
Mr. Brown, of Carroll, came to the rescue Of
the bill, and urged upon the House the prece-
dent made in the case of similar bill in re.
gard to Cumberland which passed last week
with such effect that the motion to refer was
voted down and the bin passed.
An effort IS being made to have a new dis
trict formed out Of portions of Uniontown,
Myers and Westminster districts, to be
known as Pleasant Valley district, No. Is.
Petitions looking to that end have been for
warded to the Legislature.
A movement is on foot by the Legislature
to secure the United States Government Ar
senai at Pikesville for the use Of the State.
IL is thought the Government would dispose
Of the property at the market value of the
land, without charging for the improvements,
which are admirably suited for an armory.
In support of this proposition, the friends of
the measure allege that the State is annually
a large loser by the inadequate protection at
present afforded to ordnance stores, military
trappings, &c 1t is claimed that as much as
50, 900 has already been lost by inefficient
and insufficient storage. About three years
ago the State was compelled to dispose of
pieces of artillery, ETC., at a sacrifice, because
there was no place to take care of the articles.
AT present lots Of ammunition and weapons
are scattered at various points, that are going
to decay for want Of proper care. A local
company Of cavalry near the arsenal, il is
said, would gladly take care of the property
for its use, and the expense Of an armorer
would be all that would be required. Gov
ernor Carroll and number of members have
themselves as being impressed
with the idea of making the purchase, and
later on the matter win probably assume de-
finite shape. There used to be two armories,
one at Easton and one at Annapolis, what
has become of them?
The bill to amend section 6, chapter 81,
act 1872, relating to hawks and owls in this
county, has passed the House.
