A Grand Wedding.

At Pilot Knob, on Thursday, August 21st,
1884, HENRY MALLoN to Miss ANNIE We
BIER, all of Pilot Knob.
At two O'Clock the bridal party, consisting
of the bride and groom, attended by their
bridesmaids and groomsmen,-Wm.H Hen
bricks and Miss Lizzie Seller, Hermann Held
and Miss Mary Weber, VIM. Weber and Miss
Emeline Mallon-and about two hundred
relatives and friends, proceeded to the Luz
theran church, where the wedding ceremO-
ny was performed by Rev. iR. Schmukel.
The church was beautifully decorated, and
the music from the big organ sounded grand
ly down the aisles, as the party entered.
The church was crowded to its utmost ca.
pacity
After the services were over, everybody
went to view the wedding presents and to
congratulate the bride and groom. A long
table scarcely sufficed for the presentsswhich
were piled and stacked up until it was i'm
possible to put any more on it. Your re-
porter then happened to east his eye down,
and 10. underneath it was piled the same as
above. And there was no foolishness about
the presents, everything was useful to the
newly made housewife. 1t is impossible for
me to give a list of all the articles and givers,
for there were so many that had no cards
attached.
The groom is q member of The Cornet
Band, and that organization was out in force
i'm fact, / may say, by the time things got
to fairly running, it was about as full band
rs ever saw. ,t-
At O'Clock supper was announced. The
table was built very long and it was piled
with all the delicacies of the season, until it
fairly groaned under the weight Of good
things. Everything was cooked to perfec-
ton, under the supervision of Mrs. Weber.
the mother of the bride.
After supper, we betook Ourself out under
the shade trees to enjoy a Havana. There
we found q club Of singers, and took in sweet
sounds and otherwise enjoyed ourselves I'M
til Z o'clock, when the mazy dance COM
menced. The band acquitted itself beauti-
fully in some of the finest selections they
have ever played since their organization.
The orchestra was also good.
About 10 O'Clock the table was spread
again for supper; after this collation., headed
by the brass band, the whole company
marched to a new house newly built and
furnished-the future abiding place of the
happy pair. There dan cling was resumed
and kept up until early morning, when, after
again congratulating the parties principal,
and wishing them every joy and happiness
appartaining unto married life, the icom-
pany broke up and went home to court the
embraces of Natures sweet restorer.

What is Needed.
IRoNToN, No., August 18th, 1884.

| IRONTON, No., August 18th, 1884.
| Ed. Register Mining here at the present
| is very dull. The furnace has closed, and il
is not likely that the works will start up
again for two or three months. II We look
at the material and machinery that the com.
| pany has for carrying on mining operations,
such as drilling machines, drills, air COM
pressors, engines,i pumps, wire ropes, &C.,
| with valuable vein of ore from twelve TO
eighteen feet thick, which is opened by four
| tunnels and two shafts and within those tun-
nels and shafts are opened out fifty rooms or
slopes from twenty to twenty-five feet wide
| and is being worked with Rand drilling ma
| chines-it would lead any one to believe that
| as soon as the company get out OF this en-
barrassment that they will commence oper-
atiOns again. And it is reasonable to be-
lieye that this state of affairs will not con-
tinue long. Those mines were In q flourish
ing condition mt the time of suspension.
Take into consideration the immense vein of
ore and extensive machinery that the COM
pany has for carrying on mining operations,
and the number of rooms, etc., 1t IL plain to
be seen that this mine never was in q better
condition for mining ore than ut the present
time. II we look at the immense veins and
deposits of specular, manganese, and man
ganiferous ores, that exist in Pilot Knob,
Shepherd, Cedar, BufOrd and Russell mount
aims, that are awaiting to be manufactured
here, but owing to our not having coal in this
part of the state, it is easy to see the reason
that this is not manufacturing district.
The citizens of this Valley must try and get
- 30 h,,;l e
Mary's on the Mississippi river, through Ste.
Genevieve, st. Francois, Madison, Iron, Rey
nolds, and Dent counties-making Ste. Gen
evieve, Pennington, Fredericktown, IrontOn,
and Salem, the principal stations = with
branches to Pilot Knob, Iron Mountain, and
to the principal mines along the route.
Then we would have connections with the
Illinois coal mines, and shorter route and
a cheaper rate to Pittsburg and the manu.
featuring towns of Ohio. There Is no doubt
Ii such a railroad was built it would be
paying one. 1t would not only open up this
iron region and the Dent county mines, but
1t would develop a fine timber country, and
would open up new mineral region that
would bring business to and for the road
along its route. The people have got to
bring the matter before capitalists and offer
inducements to have the road built; and II
they can show that such road will pay, cap
italists will soon build it. Let Iron county
give it the first boom, or If any one of the
above named counties give it the first boom,
let Iron join in with them and try to push 1t
through. 1t is needed. Then why not try
and get it built as soon as possible?

Tho Velocity OF the Moon.

From the article on Tho Surround.
lngs of the Sum-" by Professor Lang.
ley IN the October Cent'try, We quote
the following: 1--WE can ftintly picture,
perhaps, how it would seem. from =
station near the lunar orbit, TO see the
moon-a moving world-rush by with
velocity greater than that of the can
non ball in its swiftcst flight; but with
equal speed its shadow actually travels
along tho earthi and now, if we re-
turn from our imaginary station to q
real one hero below, we are better pre-
pared to see why tins flying shadow is
such a unique spcctacle; for, small as
1t may bo when seen in relation to the
whole globe, it is immense to tho OBJ
server, whose entire horizon is filled
with 1t, and who sees the actual veloci-
ty OF one o. tho heavenly bodies, as it
were, brought down to him.
''Ihc reader who has ever nscendod
to the Superga, at Turin, will recall the
magnificent view, and be able to un-
dcrstand the good fortune of an observ
er (Forbes) who once had the oppor-
tunlty to witness thence this phenomc-
non, and under nearly cloudless sky.
L perceived, he says, lin tho south
west black shadow like that of q
storm about to break, which obscured
the Alps. 1t was tho lunar shadow
coming toward us And he speaks of
the 'stupefaction'-it is his word
caused by the spectacle. 4 confess
he continues, 1T was the most terrify-
ing sight ever saw. AS always hap
pens in tho cases of sudden, silent, un-
expected movements. tho spectator
contounds real and relative motion. I
felt almost giddy for moment, as
though the massive building under mo
bowed on the side of tho coming
eclipse. Another witness, who hn3
been looking at some bright clouds lust
before, says: The bright cloud l saw
distinctly put out like candle. The
rapidity of the shadow, and the inten-
sity, produced feeling that something
material was sweeping over the earth
at speed perfectly frightful. invol-
UNFAIRLY listened for tho rushing noise
of mighty wind.
