HoucKsvILLE ITEMs.-0wing to the rainy
weather the farmers in our section have al
most suspended business; however, it seems
to be relief that they can sit back and see
the grain, &c, improving so finely without
any assistance from them.
A large assemblage of persons met under
the hospitable roof Of Mr.. John W. Abbott,
on Wednesday evening last, to witness the
marriage of Mr.. Geo. w. Gorsueh TO Miss
Alice A. Richards. Mr. Chas Z. Lauver
and Miss Mamie Swiizer were groomsman
and bridesmaid. The bride and bridesmaid,
at ali times pretty, looked unusually fine upon
this occasion. After partaking heartily Of
supper, the evening was passed in converse
ton, music, both instrumental and vocal, be-
ing among the leading amusements. At IL
o'clock the guests were invited into the din
ing room 10 partake of the bountiful supply
Of good things which had been prepared, and
to which ample justice was done.
On the evening preceding Mr.. Jacob Cor
such, brother of the groom heretofore men
toned, was married 10. Miss Laura V. Bond,
an estimable young lady Of this county, at her
fathers residence, near Emory Chapel. On
Thursday all hands proceeded to the recep.
ton given by Mr.. Benjamin Gorsueh to his
sons, their brides and friends, at Mt. Carmel,
Baltimore county. The hospitable manner
IN which all were received assured the guests
that they were welcome. The congeniality Of
our newly made Baltimore county friends will
ever be remembered and appreciated by those
present. The happy couples have the best
wishes of their friends in Carroll.
Our fox-hunters and those fond of that
kind of amusement, having been too much
engaged in political and agricultural pursuits
in consequence Of their relaxation, have al.
lowed Reynard to escape from his den and

hood. Mrs. Elias Houck, living near this
place, lost SO chickens and ID turkeys in one
