New CUMBERLAND, September 27.-For
the past two or three weeks everything in
and about the residence OF L. z. Smith,
Esq, has been in an uproarious condition
and only during the past few days has it
seemed that order would come out OF chaos.
To-day everything was in readiness and
the cause of all was the wedding of Miss
Allie, the Squire's oldest daughter, to Mr..
W. c. Young, of Wheeling, and an attache
OF Harper Bros. hat store.
Many and costly were the presents
given to the contracting couple. The cere-
mony took place at o'clock this evening,
conducted by Rev. W. T. Wilson, OF the NJ.
P. church, after which a sumptuous ban
quet was served in the hall over Porter &
Co. s store. This was superintendent by Mr..
Smith himself, and of course was exquisite
and beyond reproach. In the morning the
parties will go on an eastern tour OF some
weeks.
Quite a number Of strangers are guests in
town, among which We noticed Col. James
Morrow, of Fairmont; DR.. J. w. Mcdonald
of Brilliant; Lew Bently, OF Ludlow, KY;
MiIt Harrison, of Pittsburgh, &c, &c.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
A DrumD err who Knew Birch Beer by
shP Taste

A very laughsble little incident occurred
the other evening at the office of a city
hotel. A we'll known travelling man arriv-
I'd at the house on the nine o'clock train.
After consigning his baggage to the check
room, he handed the clerk a small flask
telling him to take care of it for him and
place it where no one could Law hands on
it as il was filled with extra fine old rye
The clerk complied with his request and
placed it where he could plainly see il
while standing at the counter. Shortly
afler the drummer had left the bar friend
stepped up 20 the clerk ana stated that he
had heard the foregoing conversation aud
proposed that they should put up job on
the COnvivial drummer The flask was re-.
moved snd one resembling it, but filled
with birch beer, was substituted in its
stead. The little transaction was noised
around and some eight or ten of the boys
fingered around to see the grand finale. The
drummer at last made his appearance and
gathered his traps preparatory to returning
or the night, and no doubt tlsttering him.
pelf that he would take a luscious night
cap ere he retired. The flask was handed
him and after asking the chief conspirator
20 join him he started for his room. While
ascending the elevator he stated to his
chum that he never saw whisky foam like
hat before. On reaching his rooms he Sc;
the bottle down on the table with a crash
which proved too much for the festive
equilibrium OF this noted temperance dis
cirle, causing it to break all bounds and
explode, sending the cork to the ceiling
Even after this little display he refused to
bite, and in order to make the joke com.

The strike at the Central Glass works,

from 81 to IS cents, and the handle ma

sticking up" boys had two grievances to
adjust In the first place they wanted
another helper; heretofore three bows
formed a crew and lately one Of them was
taken of, leaving only two boys to a crew.
They asked for helper and the company
gave it to them, making now three BOYS to
d crew, and the first two bows wages were
advanced from so TO SIS cents a turn. and
the new boy gets so cents. Everything
was working smoothly at the works last

A Smart Man.

They were on their bridal tour,
had just finished their dinner, and
were walking up and down the
platform awaiting the starting of
the train. Suddenly the safety
valve of the engine raised, and a
volume of steam escaped with a
sh-h-h-h that startled the timid
little bride like an electric shock.
The man of her heart treasured her
with, Don't be frightened, dar-
ling; l am with you"
I'm not frightened when you
are with me-" she replied, and
then she asked, "Do you under
stand machinery ?"
"Oh, yes" he answered, non
chalantly.
81 am so glad" she said, for l
never could see how the steam
made the engine pull the cars.
How does it do it, sweet?"
"Well, ahem p said he, clearing
his throat, "you see the coupling
bar there connects with the dia-
phragm of the slobber valve, and,
ah, that influences the rock shaft
which-ah, graduates the eccentric.
The volume of of-of-inertia be-
ing insufficient to counterbalance
the weight of resistance in the
sand box, the dead centers are
passed and away she goes"
"But the steam, darling ?"
"That goes off in the stack, as
you can see when she's running"
What a proud thing it is to be
a mani" she rapturously ex-
claimed. my poor head could
never comprehend those details
Cali aboard !" shouted the con-
ductor, and as the loving couple
stepped on board, the doubtful lit
tie new-made wife mentally con-
graduated herself on being linked
for life to such a smart man.
