"Teller in livery stable! Well, that
is a new one on me. What Ks teller in
livery stable?" and the grocery man
looked pleased, and pointed the boy to .
barrel of seven-cent sugar.
Don't you know what teller is in
livery stable? 1t is the same as teller
in bank. l have to grease the harness,
oil the buggies, and curry off the horses,
and when man comes in to hire horse
1 have to go down to the saloon and tell
the livery man. That's what teller is.
l like the teller part of it, but greasing
harness is little too rich for my blood,
but the liveryman says if l stick to it l
will be governor some day, cause most
all the great men have begun life taking
cre Of horses. It all depends on my girl
whether stick or not. 1fshe likes the
smell of horses I shall be q statesman,
but if she objects to it and sticks up her
nose, l shall not yearn to be governor, 1t
the expense of my girl. It beats all,
don't it, that women settle every great
question. Everybody eseverything to
please wimmen, and if they kick onevery
thing that settles it. But / must go and
umpire that game between p and the
hired girl and the goat. Say, can't you
come over and see the baby? Tdnt
bigger than small satchel,' and the boy
l. waited till the grocery man went to draw
some vinegar, when he slipped out and
nut up q sign written on shingle with

"Twe Durned Feols'' Married.

TRENTON, N. j. December 49,
will you marry two burned fools?'
was asked in Justice Mills Court to-
day by an old man, who lacked only
two years Of sixty. His head was
bald, except fsr single iron gray
lock that was combed down towards
the forehead. Beside him on bench,
sat rather lively widow Of twenty
six. Both were poorly dressed.
Justice Mills, who was just return
ing from dinner, looked around and
replied: "Trot out your FOOLS"
"Here we are, Squire, and tie US as
quick and as cheap as you can" the
old m an said, ~ be stood up with the
willing bride. After q few prelimi-
nary questions the Justice ascertain
ed that the desire for marriage was
mutual with the couple and in very
few minutes he had them securely
tied. The old man put plain ring
on the woman's finger and, after pay
ing the necessary fee, started away,
remarking to her, as she leaned on

HE SURVEY OF THE AIRA0NT, M Or
GANTowN AND PITTSBURGH r. r. Con-
MEncED.-Last week it was stated in
these columns that the survey of the
new railroad would be commenced st
once. We are glad to be able to state
that such is the case. The following
from the Inder explains the situation:
Mr.. II. A. Whiting, of Richmond,
Va, accompanied by Mr.. R. j. Latta,
of Yorkville, S. G., arrived here last
Friday, to undertake the preliminary
survey of the proposed Fairmont, Nor
gantown & Pittsburgh Railroad. Mr..
Whiting, who is civil engineer Of
considerable reputation, will have
charge of the surveying corps, with
Mr.. Latta as first assistant The
headquarters will for the present be
at this point. On Wednesday the
survey for the east side Of the river
was begun at the eastern end of the
B. 4 o. iron bridge across the Monsn-
gahela, but owing to the disagreeable
weather the progress of the party was
somewhat retarded Houlttown was
reached yesterday evening, and from
that point, should the weather permit,
it is believed the speed will be greatly
accelerated. The survey TO be run on
the west side of the river will be com
menced at an early day, perhaps next
week, and will begin at or near the
mouth of Buffalo creek. We under
stand that it is the intention OF the
projectors of this road to select that
side of the river which will present
the least grade, shortest route and
cheapest construction; and to obtain
these requisites it may be necessary
to leave the river at several points.
1t is said that the right of way may
prove an important factor 10 making
final location. II. however, the gen.
tlemen having this proposed read in
charge are in earnest land they seem
tn be) and have the means sufficient
to build it, we cannot see why there
should be any difficulty from the
property holders. They are not very
apt to interpose any serious obstacles
in the way of road that promises to
and.undonbtedly will,if completed, en-
nance the value of their lands. The
mystery which surrounded this new
corporation last week still continues
Nobody seems to know positively
who the interested parties arc other
than the incorporators, but the i'm
pressions seems to be growing that
the fine Roman hand OF the b. d O.
r. r. Companyis looming up in the
back ground. We give this for what
it is worth, preferring to leave the
question to the further nominations
Of our readers.

On Thursday last, at her old home
In Bedford, Pa, Mrs. j. r. Fague, the
former proprietor Of the Keyser Echo,
was married to Mr. f. F. Nine, a
prominent merchant this place. Rev.
G. Z. Maydwell, of the NJ. E. Church,
in this place, performed the ceremony.
Our editorial friends, with whom Mrs.
F. had become very popular, will
doubtless rejoice that she has again
become the mistress Of a pleasant
home. Our congratulations and best
wishes are rendered to the happy
couple. It is indeed an evidence OF
the good lady's attractiveness, as
we'll as her appreciation Of the state
of connubial felicity that having lost
one husband she has taken Nine!-
Keyser Echo.
Married on Christmas eve at the
residence Of the brides father on the
West Side, by Rev. d. G. Helmick,
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Kelly and Miss Jennie
Jacobs.
Both of the contracting parties are
well known in Morgantown and the
New DOMINION unites with their
many friends in wishing the happy
couple a long life ofjoy and connubial
felicity. The bride and groom were
made the recipients of numerous val
liable presents from their friends.
We regret our inability to give list
in full.
We learn that on Sunday Dec. %,
at Mt. Morris, Pa, Mr.. W. H. Nc
Daniels of Taylor county, and Miss
Jennie MILAN, of Morgantown, were
united in matrimony.
The bride is one Of our we'll known
young ladies. Mr.. McDaniels the
bridegroom, was at one time a stu
dent Of the University and at present
is teaching at Pruntytown. We ex-
tend our best wishes.
No event Of a social nature Of re-
cent occurrence has transpired that
it gives us more pleasure to chronicle
than the marriage of Mr.. Richard E.
Fast, the gentlemanly Deputy County
Clerk, and Miss Lizzie Stewart,
daughter of VIM. N. Stewart, Esq, of
Georgetown. The ceremony by which
the happy twain were made one, took
place at the residence Of the brides
father on Wednesday morning, the
bridal party coming to Morgantown
in the evening, where reception was
given them at the residence of j. E.
Fleming, brother-in-law of the bride.
The groom, for the past year has
filed the office of Deputy Clerk of
the County Court, and by his uniform
courtesy, gentlemanly bearing, and
general intelligence, has won for him
self host of friends, who wish him
and his fair bride abundance of con-
nubial bliss.
The happy couple enter upon their
newly married life under the most
favorable auspices, and the New Do
MINIoN extends the heartiest congrat-
ulations and unfeigned wishes Of I'M
ending joy.

JsHN BELL CRAzY.-Many Of our
readers will remember a subscription
book agent who lived here for several
years, during most of the time max
ing his home with Squire Jas. E.
Dent, in Granville. For some time
past he has lived iu Wheeling. In a
late issue of the Intelligencer we
find the following story concerning
him:
"John Bell, a subscription book
publisher, who has been carrying on
business with good success in this
city for several months past, having
his Office in Melodeon Hall building,
on Main street, was yesterday com
mitted to Jail as lunatic by Squire
Ankle. Bell lives on Twelfth street,
and is married. For several days he
has shown signs of alteration and
yesterday his affection took violent
form and he became raving maniac.
He called at the Intelligenccr Office
early in the day to consult one Of the
proprietors on the ACCESSIBILITY of his
SOtu6 w lib otuCCy 30 uC Doiu oCR CT al
prominent citizens had conspired to
kill him, and that they had succeeded
in placing him under the influence of
electricity. Later he went to DIR.
Baird's Office to consult him, and
there claimed that the Board of
Public Works had designs on his
life. Constable Love and Councilman
Haller took him to Squire Ankles
office, but he refused to remain there,
and said he must see DR.. L. d. Will
son. Squire Ankle accompanied him
TO the Doctors Office, and DR.. Wilson
succeeded in getting him to Jail by
strAtegem.
The case is = sad one. Mr.. Bell
when in his right mind is an intelli.
