understand that one Manaway, the e1i-
tor of the colored paper, has been saying
in the saloons that the colored Democrats
we're all ignorant and had sold their votes
for money or whisky; that he would meet
any colored man and discuss politics with
him and that any colored man in West Vir-
giuia who would vote the Democratic ticket
did it for a drink of whisky, for q
dollar and half or FIVE dollars. denounce
the assertion as false and will provide a
speaker to meet him and knock him out on
the first round. If he is not all wind and

A ROUND MILLION
nf Juicy watermelons Consumed In and

nf Juicy watermelons Consumed In and
shipped from Wheeling.
The watermelon is delicious "bivalVe,"
and Wheeling is rather fond of it, when one
graspsthe large number that annually meet
their destruction here. A gentleman yes
ierday remarked that he thought at least a
half million must pass through the city an
nually, and was Immediately sneered down
BY a companion. His guess was not such a
lad one, as the following will show. A
rough estimate made by gentleman con-
uected with the P, W. & K. depot ploced
the number of melons actually received at
this point, at 10000. The Ohio River road
alone has brought up about IS cars
cars of them and as they will
average 1000 to a car, this will
amount to I04,S00. At least halfthat num-
Der have come in by wagon from the sur
round country, while the quantity brought
up by fats can only be roughly estimated
A Water street merchant said he would not
be surprised if the number would run to
100000. A Wholesale fruit house on Main
street has handled 10000 alone and expects
to ship $4,000 more.
Footing these, it will be seen that a half
million melons are, at least, shipped here
as distributing point. This is a great
melon centre and the season is good one
Wheeling viii consume at least 200,0 900 and
viii ship, at the lowest calculation SOC, 900
ofthe juicy globes. If the gentleman had
said million he would not have greatly
oyershot the mark.

the following meagrs account of the par

point:
Tonight at o'clock FIRE was discovered

which is lying here awaiting rise in the
river. The Ere was extinguished by the

mystery as the state rooms in which it was
first discovered have not been used for two

to express her thanks through the
HERALD for this kind remembrance.

before election, we will venture to say

Diogenes is opposed TO Kidd; and The

But Notwithstanding all this, the Re-
publicans of noble old Grant county
will, ere the next issue of the HERALD,
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the entire ticket will be elected; and
the smutty-faced Tom Hendricks, who
could call the Boys in Blue .'Lincoln's

the Senate chamber with his loathsome
presence, as President of the Senate.

MARRIED.-As announced last week,
the marriage of Miss Elizabeth C. Far
rar, daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Geo. S.
Brigham, of this city, to the Rev. Joseph
Hayes Chandler, took place Tuesday
evening. at the Congregational church,
of which Mr.. G. is the pastor. Long
before the hour, s o'clock, the church,
which was handsomely decorated with
natural flowers and rare plants, was
filled to overlooking with the many
friends of Mr.. Chandler and Miss Far
rar, while many were unable to obtain
entrance to the building, so that the
arrival of the bridal party was awaited
with some impotence. 1t was about
half past eight when the usual buzz of
expectancy told that the all-important
time had come, and the large double
doors were thrown open to admit the
bride and groom and their escorts,
while the organ, under the management
of Mrs. Thombs, gave forth Mendel-
shon's grand wedding march. Mr.. w.
Ii. Alden, with Miss May Clarke, of
this city, entered first, and were fol-
lowed by Mr.. +. G. Barrows, of Fergus
Fails, with Miss Josephine b. Gilbert,
of Glencoe; Prof c. Is. Gilbert, of Saint
Paul, with Miss Sadie +. Burr, of Lam
caster; the bride on the arm of her
father; the groom with Mrs. Brigham.
The party arranged themselves about
the altar, when the marriage service
was read by the Rev. Joseph Chandler,
father of the groom, and his predecessor
as pastor of the church, Dr. Brigham
giving away the bride. The impressive
ceremony was very successfully gone
through with and sealed by the bestow-
al of the wedding ring and the wedding
kiss, after which those present pressed
forward to present their congratula-
lions. The bridal costumes were very
elegant, the bride herself wearing white
surah silk with point lace trimmings
and antique pearl ornaments; the brides
maids all wore white, while the gentle
men were in the conventional evening
dress. About ten O'Clock the bridal
party drove to Dr. Brigham's residence,
where delightful wedding supper was
served, &nd where were displayed a
collection of elegant wedding presents.

was running away. He turned to see

into the river and up the stream, he
holding himself up by hanging to the
harness. His sister seeing that they
were going toward large tree, one of

saving her brother from an awful death.

worthy of more fitting tribute than
can give.
