A Wedding Postponed.

HARTFORD, June 15.-The social SEN
sation in Hartford to-day has been the
disappointment of fashionable we'd
ding party last night, at the house of
Normand Hubbard, in Bloomfield St.
The marriage of Mr.. Hubbard's accom-
plished daughter, aged 23 years, to Lee
Faulkner, dress goods salesman in New
York, said to be an agent for Philadel-
phia house, was to have been celebrated,
but Mr.. Faulkner failed to put in an APP
pearance. Miss Hubbard met the young
man for the first time about FIVE years
ago, and their acquaintance three years
later ripened into an engagement of mar
riage. There has been so far as is
known, a smooth courtship, and the
conduct of the suitor has been of such ex-
ceptional straightforwardness that Mr..
Hubbard said today that he had perfect
confidence in the young man. The last
train was waited for last night and as the
young man did not arrive it was an
nounced that the ceremony must be de-
ferfed. Miss Hubbard was desperately
cast down, but retained her confidence
in her suitor, believing that there must
be good excuse for his absence. A
friend of the family went to New York,
and has been inves tigating there to-day.
All that is known here is that the young
man left his boarding house at 8 a. m.,
yesterday, and has not been seen there
since. No possible cause for his deser-
ton of the girl can be imagined. She
is everything that his heart could have
desired in womanly graces, and is pos
sessed of comfortable fortune

A Queer Case.


The following queer story comes from
Erie A Mr. Poole from Erie met and
clandestinely married woman in New
York two years since. The husband had
to pledge himself to remain stranger to
his wife until she consented to publicly
announce their marriage. Recently he
learned that her motives were merce-
nary. He commanded her to live with
him. She refused, and he came home to
Erie to sue for divorce on the ground of
desertion. The wife not wanting di-
vorce, followed on and learning that the
suit would not hold if cohabiting could
be proven, offered to live with him.
The husband then refused, and the wife
resorted to cunning. She made him in
toxicated and engaged rooms at hotel,
where he found himself the next morn
ing with his wife, who packed up imme-
diately afterwards and left, defying him
to divorce her for desertion. What the
woman's object is does not seem to be
known.

through Congress bill separating the Patent
Office from the Interior Department, and
organizing II thoroughly Every Commission
er of Patents for a generation past has com
planned of the lack of sufficient appropriations
to carry on bis work satisfactorily, and the
conviction s now general that the nlggardi-
ness of Congress would cease II the work of
tue Office were presented separately instead of
as part of that of the Interior Department.
The truth is that the office, instead of being an
expense TO the Government, yields to it
handsome annual revenue, and has never
failed to do so. out Of this revenue the mag
nlacent building was constructed in which the
Interior Department Is located, and in which
the Patent Office itself has very inadequate
quarters. There is steady Increase in the
amount of business before the Office, and in a
few years the whole building will be needed for
lts operations.
The National Republican, in its issue this
morning, asserts that the authorities have pur-
posely postponed placing papers in the Star
route cases before the Grand Jury of this Dis
trlct, and that this action is caused by a
failure to find sufficient evidences of fraud to
convict any Of the accused persons who might
be indicted. II Is undoubtedly true that much
more evidence is found of injudicious action on
the,part of ex.ofilclals, than of criminal ones
but the patient and industrious investigators
are confident that the missing links of testi-
mony will yet he found. At least, they say
they are.

A Horse Kills a Groom.

NEW York, June 90 Thomas f.
Ryan, a banker of this city, about six
weeks ago bought a handsome sorrel
gelding. He seemed gentle, yet quite
spirited. On Saturday the animal was
removed from one stable to another,
and in the absence of the groom employ
ed by Mr.. Ryan, Richard Johnson, q
colored groom, went into his stall. A
few moments later the other grooms
heard cry of help, and found Johnson
lying on the floor with his skull crushed
in by the horses hoofs. He died soon
after. Yesterday morning Murray went
to feed the horse, and was kicked over
and trampled on by the vicious animal,
and when dragged away by the other
grooms it was found that his skull was
fractured. He will probably die.

Editorial Excursion.

On Monday evening the Goth inst, a
large number of the members of the
Editorial Association of this State, ac-
companied by their lady friends, met at
the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia,
to learn the detail of arrangements made
for the ninth annual trip. On Tuesday
morning the number was largely in
creased by the arrival of members on
the early train, and at nine o'clock a
special train left the 32d street depot for
Long Branch. This train had been
provided by the liberality of the p. r. r.
Co., who with the care always shown by
this company to provide for the comfort
of the passengers had placed in the train
plenty of cars to convey the large
party without crowding. A little less
than three hours later the train reached
Long Branch where accommodations
had been secured at Lelands Ocean
Hotel. Arrangements had been made
by the Secretary of the Association SO
that only few minutes were needed to
get each person to the room assigned
them. The remainder of that day was
spent by the excursionists in resting,
strolling along the beach, or visiting
the pretty places around the town. On
Wednesday about one hundred and fifty
went up to New York by steamboat, it
being beautiful ride of only two hours.
On Thursday at ! 80 P. NJ, President
Garfield gave reception in the parlor
of the hotel, when he was introduced to
those present, shaking hands, and greet
ing each one with few pleasant words.
Gen. Grant had promised to be present
at the annual dinner in the evening but
failed to keep his engagement. The
dinner passed off pleasantly without
him however, About three hundred
and fifty persons comprised the party
and as they separated on Friday, it
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
that this had been the pleasantest gath
ering that the Association had yet had.
The hotel accommodations had never
been as good, the travelling facilities
could not have been better, and the
weather was all that could be desired.
The Messrs. Lelands spared no pains to
make our stay pleasant, and the Associ-
alton is indebted to the p. r. r. and
Central r.. r. Companies for the safe
and pleasant transportation. Mr.. L. p.
Farmer, the General Passenger Agent,
and his worthy assistants, did all that
could be done to make the excursion
enjoyable sand they certainly succeeded,
not only in doing that but in earning
the thanks of each member of the 5arty.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June %, 1881
Major Twining, Corps of Engineers, U, s. A.
asks that the reported newspaper interview, in
which he was made to state that the Washing
ton monument would not stand more than five
or six centuries, be taken with grains of allow
ance. He thinks, as herein stated, that larger
stones should have been used in so vast
structure, but that still with care in construc
tion and proper attention thereafter, the mon
ument will stand for an indefinite period.
Thirty feet have been added to 1t since work
was resumed under the Sherman appropriation,
and the foundation strengthened in every way
that science could devise. The present esti-
mate is that one half the ultimate height of
$50 feet will be completed by this time next
year, and that by the summer of 1884 the work
will be completed. Stone cannot be. laid, OF
course, in the winter, but the work of prepar-
Ing 1t goes on throughout the year.

A sherin's Brave wife.

DETROIT, June 22.-A second attempt
was made at an early hour this morning
to reach and lynch Voskamp, the MUIR
derer, who shot and killed his employer
Lyman Cody about month ago at
Lamont, and who is now in Jail, at
Grand Haven, Michigan. About a
dozen of the most highly respected farm
ers in that vicinity went to the Jail over
powered the deputy sheriff and compell-
ed him to give them the key to the MUIR
derer's cell. They then went in and
secured their victim. The sheriff was
absent, but his wife was aroused by the
noise, and discovering the situation,
closed the outside door which the lynch
ing party had left unguarded, and i'm
prisoned the whole party. She then

Struck by the Cars.

CLEVELAND, June 22.-Shortly after
3 o'clock this afternoon an east bound
train on the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio railroad, when about twelve
miles from here, struck a buggy in
which were riding Thomas Garfield,
uncle of President Garfield, and Mrs
Alonzo Arnold, sister of DIR. Boynton
and cousin of the President. Thomas
Garfield was instantly killed and Mrs.
Arnold's skull was so badly fractured
that her life is despaired of. The buggy
was dragged about two hundred feet be-
fore the train was stopped. Mr.. Gar
field was eighty years old. He leaves
seven children. President Garfield and
Dr. Boynton were telegraphed to at
Long Branch.

Appearance of the Seventeen Year Locusts.

Prof. G. V. Riley, of Washington,
finds his predictions with regard to the
seventeen-year locusts verified by their
appearance within few days in various
localities. He made report some time
ago on this subject, based mainly upon
an unpublished manuscript of the late
DR.. Gibson Smith of Baltimore, who
made life. study of these insects. From.
this list it appears that brood of the
seventeen-year locust should mature this
year in certain parts of Wisconsin,
North Carolina Virginia, Northern
Ohio, and few in Lancaster county
Pa, and Westchester county, New York
the brood known as the thirteen-year
locust was to be expected this year quite
generally throughout the South. The
two broods have little or no specified
difference, but divide on geographical
lines

and was partially destroyed. The loss
will reach $4,000, on which there is no
insurance, as the bridge was considered
fire-proof 1t was an imposing structure
and cost 100000 when built in 1859. AS
the largest portion of the travel between
