or Mast, or the pen of q Dick
ems or q Thackeray, could do it justice.
Can describe, as Miss Pickett knelt for
q moment at the chancel rail in silent
prayer, how the bridegroom, attempting
to initiate her example, and doubtless to
follow her instructions, had fallen on
his knees on the floor three steps below
her, and then noticing his mistake, went
up those three steps on his knees to
reach her side, while the church was
filed with suppressed laughter? Can
describe his difficulty in finding the
wedding ring? The hands that were wont
to guide the pillow were now, probably for
the first time, incased in q heavy pair of
black leather gloves. How he fumbled
to find the ring in his vest pocket, and
was unable to get hold of it; how at last
he was forced to the conclusion that at
least one glove must come off; how he
grasped it with the energy of black
smith, and tugged, but to no purpose;
how he placed his hand between his
knees, and pulled again as useless.y how
at last he gathered all his powers, and in
the attitude of drawing . reluctant cork
from bottle, tugged and pulled, till
the veins in his neck and forehead were
distended, and the perspiration rolled
down in streams; and at length, when
he conquered, the glove was q wreck!
No pen can fully describe all this, pho
tographed on the memories of ali the
eye-witnesses.

KILLED BY THE CAUSE.-THE Con-
nelsville Courier of last Friday gives
an account of injuries received by
Frank Williamson, stone mason,
well known in this county. He was
son-in-law of A. b. Hoard, of
Hoards Rock: "wednesday after
noon q man named Frank William
son, bricklayer working at Oil
plants, received injuries that will
likely prove fatal. He was returning
from Uniontown to the above station
on the Southwest railroad, and on ar
irving at the station he insisted up
on remaining on the platform Of the
car until the train was in motion.
He was intoxicated and did not heed
the advice of Conductor Mullen to
get off the car. After the train star
ted Williamson jumped off and fell
upon the track. The wheels ran over
him about the knees and severed his
legs from the body. He was brought
back to Uniontown and ministered to
but lies at present in critical con
dition. 1t is not thought that he
will recover. The unfortunate man
is twenty-eight years old and has a
wife and two children living near
Point Marion, this county"
Since the above was put in type
we.learn that the unfortunate nah is
dead.

VANDERBnT's engineers have been
examining several Hallway routes
through this country, but are reti-
cent as to their objective point. 1t
is likely that great through line is
contemplated by Mr.. Vanderbilt, and
that the coal and coke of Fayette,
while contributing to the traffic over
his lines, are not the only objects in
view. 1t may be said, however; that
the engineers after a consultation
with their chief, and a conference
with some Of the leading business
men Of tie county, have deemed it
advisable to make survey across
the country, commencing at the
mouth Of Uickersdn run, on the
Youghiogheny, following same to it's
head, then going down Bute's run to
Vance's mill, and along the Redstone
to Uniontown. From Uniontown
