instantly, but not soon enough to
save the young man from receiving a
fearful cut on the right thigh, a large
piece of flesh being sort of scooped
out. The leaders in the left foot were
cut to the bone. DIR Smith Carr was
called and rendered medical aid.
The injury will confine the young
man to his home for several months.
The wounds are not now considered
dangerous.-Clarksburg Ne,os.
A SAD COMING HOMO the Goth

Miss Elizabeth Parks, both of Harri-
son county, eloped from home. Star
ting from the church in the neighbor-
hood in which the parties resided,
and where congregation was gath

hats and hands were waved and many
good wishes followed the happy comp
lie as they drove rapidly out of sight.
On the 9th they were married in
Pennsylvania. Returning they came
directly to Upshur county to visit
relatives. On the day following, the
bride was seized by sore throat, in
malignant form, which resulted in
her death on the Sth of July, and on
the day following-just two weeks
from the day of the elopement and
about the same hour her remains were
brought to the same church for inter
ment.-What sad coming home!
