Linen Wedding.

Linen Wedding.
Among the pleasant seasons which stand
as milestones in our pathway in life. was the
happy gathering of the many friends of Dea-
con and Mrs. J. II. Sturtevant, at their home
in Fayette, on Thursday, the 18th ult., it be-
ing the twentieth anniversary of their mar
rage. Early in the afternoon, the guests
began to arrive, and although it was busy
season, before night more than one hundred
and fifty of the people of Favcttc and vicinity
had taken possession of the Deacon's premi-
SEES. So completely were the inmates taken
by surprise, that not drop of blood was shed
in the encounter. Together with social chat
music and out door amisements for the
younger portion of the company, in which
some whose heads were blossoming partici-
pated, the hours passed swiftly away, and be-
fore the company were aware of the latencss
of the hour, the call from labor to refresh
mcnt was sounded, when one hundred and
thirty-four sat down to tables which were or
namcntcd as the ladies' of Fayette know how
to do, and would have tempted the most fas-
tidious taste of an Oriental prince. Having
satisfied the inner man, +. A. Chase, Esq.
called for the reading of a spirited poem by
A. +. Watson, one by ID. V. b. Ormsbv of
Pennington, one from Mrs. Erskinc. also one
written by friend, and read by Rev. Mr.
Young of Mt Vernon. Then came the pres
entation of the presents by the Hon. +. II.
French of Chestcrville. which consisted of a
sewing machine. purse containing SIG
plated ware. linen he'd spreads, table linen
towels. &C., to the value of more than Sl00
Mine host and his better half were not ex-
pecting anything in this direction, and so
many and valued tokens of friendship for the
moment ALMOST overpowered them. The Dea
returned their thanks in few well chosen
remarks. Rev. j. W. Smith invoked the
Divine blessing to rest upon that household
and its tnanS friends, after which the com
pany took their leave, all declaring that this
was one of the happicst occasions of their
lives +.

false assertion that the funding ofthe Govern

creased the amount of interest that we yearly
have to pay on the debt. and this was n fair
sample of their whole line of argument, which
was not to give the people the truth, hut to so

From the Jaws Of Death-A Remarkable
Recovery.


Recovery.
We have several times alluded to the fear
full accident that happened the middle of last
March to Mr.. Stephen II. Hill of Augusta,
who was so terribly mutilated in mill
in WestpOrt. In an interview the other day
with Mr. Hill, who is now on the high road
to recovery, we learned further particulars of
his escape.
9 His business at the mill was wheeling saw
dust from the basement to the wharf. The
workmen overhead had been "skylarking."
and had frequently thrown water down upon
him. and it was through their foolish mis-
chief that the accident occurred. Hill had
gone at work in the morning, and the work
men overhead had thrown water upon him.
He stepped over the shaft that carried the
edger for a piece of board to nail over the
crack in the floor above, that he might be
protected from the water On coming back,
the wind blowing strongly. as he was stepping
over the shaft, the wind blew the corner of
his coat on to the shaft, and it caught there,
as well as catching his pants drawing him
right on to the machinery. His hold was by
a square bed timber overhead. which he could
Just reach. Even from this he felt himself
losing his hold, and was being drawn rapidly
on to the shaft, and it occurred to him like a
flash of lightning, that the only way to save
himself was to drop back and spring for his
life Had he gone round the shaft there
would have been nothing left of him. He
did this, and in his desperation it is said that
he leaped a distance of eighteen feet. He
knew not then of the terrible results of the
accident, but supposed he had only torn his
clothing. He felt no pain, and was perfectly
clear headed and conscious. He had to walk
a rod before he could by signal attract the
attention of the men overhead. He was in a
most fearful plight His clothes were entire
" stripped from him with the exception Of
ne-half of his coat, on the right side, and
one-half of his shirt. Although his legs were
not much injured, and no bones broken, has
entire body beior the bomeis ras torn off, and
he was poor, bleeding. pitiable specimen of
humanity. He was taken to his home, and
the first physician called, from Boothbay,
pronounced his case ncurabe; and certainly
that was a most reasonable verdict. But four
hours after that, DIR. E. NJ. Fuller of Bath,
was called, who, although not holding out
any delusive hope, invoked good courage on
the part of the patient, with prospect of sat
isfactory results. Hill was visited by DIR.
Fuller every alternate day for more than a
month, and the patient responded nobly to
his skilful manipulations, until now he is
here in Augusta, with his family; and soon
after another slight operation, which is
deemed necessary, will be able to return to
labor. Verify, he was rescued from the jaws
of death.
