MATRIMONIAL.

MATRIMONIAL.
Mr.. Thomas Welsh and Miss Augusta Billiard
We're married, on Thursday evening of last week,
by Rev. W. 7. l.. kietler, at Churchville. This
seems to have been q case of marrying under diff
nculties. The groom is only just out of his
teens and his mother, not fancying the idea of a
daughtcr-in-law, forbade the ministers here read
ing the ceremoney under penalty of the law, but
the Churchville minister not having been SINH
larry warned made the lovers one. MAY the old
adage prove true in their case that bad begin
ming makes good ending.
Cards are out for the marriage of VIM. E..
Jewens, the well known fruit packer at Carsin's
Kun, and Miss Pauline Jones, at Bush Church,

in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the De-

interesting and important years of this crowded

the Government of this country on the principles

election, with indifference. The World, as the

FOR GRAIN INSPECTOR,
Mr.. ]. J. w. Taylor, of Havre de Grace. is an
applicant for Grain Inspector, without rival in
the county. If long list of subscribers will
secure him the appointment, he certainly will be
successful. Mr.. Taylor is a gentleman Of the first
order, and from his long experience in the grain
business is as well qualified to discharge the duties
of inspector as any man in the State. He is also
a sterling Democrat, and has spent great deal of
his time and money for the advancement of his
party. He Is undoubtedly entitled to favorable
consideration. HoPEwELL.

THROWN FROM HORSE AND KILLED.-On
Friday afternoon last William, aged about ten
years, bright little son Of Mr. Charles NJ.
Meyer, of Belle Farm, while going for the cows,
on horseback waived his hat to some children
who were playing near by. 1t is supposed that
this frightened the horse, which threw him, and
his foot becoming entangled in the stirrup he
was dragged back and forth several times over
distance of three hundred yards before the
horse stopped. When he was picked up it was
found that his jaw was fractured, his chest bone
broken, and he was also terribly injured about
the head. He was taken home where he was at
tended by Drs. Hayward, Heaps and Bryan, but
nothing could be done to save his life, and he
died on Saturday evening, at six o'clock.
