Quite an interesting wedding
took place near here few DAYS
ago which is worthy of a passing
notice. We will simply give the
age of the bride and groom, which
is as follows: The Bride was "a
and the groom IS. When they
came up to the altar the groom
presented the appearance OF an old
prophet standing with staff in
hand, his silver locks hung down
his wrinkled face, and by his side
was standing his fair bride, repre-
senting a sweet sixteen by the
free use OF paint and putty. She
wore upon her brow beautiful
evergreen crown, which made her
present the most beautiful and
lovely appearance. But alas! this
is not all. One hour from the
time the marriage came off they
were summoned to stand by the
grave of one of the brides near
and dear relatives that was to be
deposited in the cold aad silent
tomb: Such is life with all its
yanities.

Eds. Independent.
l see from your paper o. the 9th
Of March that the gift turkey is
expanding, and that more com.
ments come from the same family
Now, sir, if those persons were
subscribers to the little mountain
PAPER, published at Berkeley
Springs, by the gentiemanly
young man, Mr.. Tr:mble, whose
paper is always welcome visitor
to our humble firesi1e, they would
have seen that it plainly stated
that it was joke gotten up on me
by my friends; but none so blind
as those who cannot spe. And
am assured, sir, that you must
have overlooked the piece, or you
would have copied it, when, by so
doing, the excuse to expose the
long pent-up strife in the Sena-

SO saying he has attempted to
heap disgrace upon a free and
honorable people, who have a
right to think and vote as they

travels through Jefferson county

the law. Now, sir, l challenge
him to find a man Of honor who
will make oath that any money

Political Notes.

Secretary Sherman announces that
he is enlisted for the war, but Grant
still emulates the silent and contem-
plative oyster.
Tilden's capture last week was the
Buffalo Courier, which had previous
ly been opposing him. And yet some
people think that he is not really in
the fight.
The st. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer
Press concludes that Blaine is the
only man who can beat Grant, and
therefore drops Sherman to take up
the favorite son of Maine.
OF course, it is newspaper in the
far West which remarks to the Chi
cago Inter- Ocean Grant boomer
that it might as well try to stuff
butter down the throat of a wild cat
with hot fork as to try to make
Republicans believe that there is on
ly one make in the party who could
be inaugurated if elected president. :"
The Cincinnati Enquirer finds in
the defeat of Gen. Ewing in Ohio
last fall evidence that Gen. Hancock,
because of his military record, would
be no stronger as a Democratic can
didate than civilian. This sage
opinion is supposed to have been
whispered through telephone COM
municating with Gramercy Park
Mr.. Cameron puts himself up for
prophet when he predicts that Grant
will be nominated unanimously at
Chicago, and that all opposition will
cease prior to the meeting of the
convention. The Philadelphia Press
remarks that Mr.. Cameron simply
expresses an opinion which is against
the signs of the times"
Gov. Holiday, of Virginia, is more
hopeful concerning the future of the
Democratic party in that State than
most of the leaders. He thinks that
the differences between the regulars
and the Malone wing will be settled
in time to ensure the Virginia cleo
toral vote for the Democratic candi-
date for the presidency, but when
asked how this was to be done he
abruptly terminated the interview.

WOOL MARKET.

The position of buyers and sellers
does not appear to undergo much change.
Dealers and Manufacturers are both rep
resented on the market, looking up such
supplies as their early wants may re-
quire, but showing more or less of the
previously noted caution, and not antic-
ipating the future to any great extent.
The consumer still finds the product of
his mill selling only on a very close mar
gin over the cost of material, and indeed
in some cases with scarcely a margin at
all, and hence it requires nice calcula-
ton to adjust purchases accordingly
while the buyer who handles stock for
resale must be even more circumspect
lest he make an accumulation against
which no demand can be secured at the
prices of necessity asked. Holders, how
ever, show much strength and confidence,
and in most cases are gradually making
up rates, owing to the stiff tone at all
domestic primary prints, where cost gen.
orally keeps ahead of any profitable re-
turn to be obtained here. All accounts
from abroad are also stimulating, and
there seems to be no danger of much
competition from foreign woods unless
prices here run very much higher. We
are inform d that most of the American
orders sent out to Montevideo remain
untitled, owing to a sharp demand and
higher bids from Antwerp buyers. Taken
altogether, the position has a strong
look SO far as the determination of hold
ers is concerned, but buyers respond too
slowly to admit of any positive boom.
The movement this week has shown
some reduction in volume. but in a few
cases higher prices are reported. The
transactions include 10000 TBS Xxx Ohio
reported at soc; 5000 TBS do do, 4S1lc;
$500 lbs tub at 4s1ac.-[N. Y. Bulletin

THE Memphis Appeal says that the
leading newspapers of the South, repre-
senting 1873 electoral votes for Hancock,
insist that neither Barnum nor the Ma
tional Committee shall take one step to-
ward contest that will disgrace the
Democratic party. They are satisfied
that Gen. Garfield is elected, ,and they see
no reason why the country should be
disturbed and the Government brought
into contempt with other nations by a
wrangling and useless contest. "GeR.
Garfield is President-elect by the suf-
frages of a majority of the qualified cleo
tors of the United States, and will be in
augurated on the 4th of March next,
says the Appeal; his title is indisputa-

THERE never was sounder sense talk
ed than that which is contained in the
appended extract from the Vicksburg
Herald, which is solidly Democratic
enough even for the region of Mississip-
pi: Money is ready to come to the
South as soon as the South. is ready to
be perfectly tolerant to strangers as 10
their opinions; but in this age when
everybody reads and talks freely and
does, not get mad at opposition, the first
thing to be established in the South
must be the perfect freedom of an i'm
migrant or capitalist. Northern men
who come South to forcibly swallow
Southern opinion are not worth having.
For the interests of themselves, their
land and their children, the Southern peo-
pie oaght to encourage higher tone in
the local newspapers. The inconsequen-
tial blackguard who curses against the
living and the dead north of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers is costly nui,
