Rsy n. u. D. JAMS. Pastor IN charg. oI the
osccola Circuii, 10 Mn MAnraA Ross, OF o.
ccolai Rev. ". Il Foster, Il r., officiating.
This happy event was the occasion
of the assembling Of quite a large
number of relatives and friends of
parties interested, to wish them "God
speed" in the beginning of their new
life. The bride was tastefully attircd
in a silver gray MORE antique, with
cream colorcd silk lace trimmings,
while the groom looked dlgniiicd in
"A full suit of black. And never was
a more joyous assemblage than that
which was gathered in Mrs. Drivers
elegant parlor, to witness the cere-
mony which made these two kindred
spirits, one; and if the sincere wish
es for their happiness and heartfelt
congratulations, can effect anything,
then we predict the future Of our
friends will be strewn with the
brightest flowers of happiness.
Mrs. Ross, the bride, has been
resident of our little town for many
years, and her many charities, her
self-sacraiice in attending the sick
and distressed, and her devotion to
the church and to all measures for the
elevation and advancement of the
community have endeared her to ev-
cry individual of her wide acquain-
ance. DIR. James, the groom, is
Virginian by birth, and has only been
among our people during the present
conference year, yet he has won the
esteem of all who have had the pleas
ure of meeting him, by his gracious,
courtly manners, and by the consci-
en,ious discharge of the duties of his
profession. BY the union of so many
of the virtues that ennoble human
nature, we can but anticipate for
our friends ripe old age of rare
and usefulness.
Among the guests present we re-
call: Mr.. and Mrs. J. ID. Driver,
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c. Bowen, Mr.. and
Mrs. N. &. Cartwright, Mr.. and Mrs.

be comparatively short, for those who see

The present wife Of ext Governor William
Sppgue, who was divorced from her first
husband the Monday before she married
Sprague, seems to be almost as eccentric as
her husband-their union appears to be
one Of most congenial spirits. The Ports.
mouth (0hio) Times, in recent issue, con-
tains an interview with her first husband,
Frank W. Calvert, from which 1t appears
he married her in 1877. when she was In
very destitute condition. All went well
for time, when, said Mr.. Calvert:
"She became stage struck and wanted to
play at Wilhelm's opera house, in 'Ten
Nights in the Bar Room" considered
that there was at least one or more doubt

and objected; she insisted and went on the
stage, got angry and tore up the furniture,
and packed off to Guyandotte.

gone to her parents, and brought her back
to Guyandotte; but got n letter inform.

tons between myself and her sister Jennie
she intended to leave me. ! did not want
the expense Of big law suit, and always

provided that she would release me in

me; but as she begun to tear up the car.

An ArtiuI Elephant.
ExchAnKe.

An elephant was chained to q tree in
The compound opposite Mr.. Townsend's
house. It's driver made an oven at short
distance, in which he put his rice.cakes to
bake, and then covered them with stones
and grass and went away. When he was
gone the elephant, with his trunk, uniast.
ened the chain around his feet, went to the
oven and uncovered II, took out and ate
the cakes, recovered the oven with the
stones and grass rs before, and went back
to his place. He could not fas,en the
chain again around bis own foot, as he
twisted It round and round It, In order to
look the same, and when the driver re.
turned the elephant was standing with his
back to the oven. The driver went to his
cakes, discovered the theft, and, looking
round, caught the elephants eye as he
looked back over his shoulder out Of the
corner Of It. Instantly he detected the
cnlprit, and condign punishment followed.
The whole occurrence was witnessed from
the windows by the family.
