Wedding Bells.

The event of the week was the mar
riage of Miss Maggie, youngest daugh-
ter of Judge Samuel Woods, to DR.:
R. l.. p. Brown, of Buchannon, which
took place yesterday morning at the
residence of Judge Woods at 1O4
o'clock. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. G. 3. Glaham, pastor
of the NJ. e. Church.. A number of
intimate friends of the family were
present and witnessed the most bril-
liant wedding Philippi has had for
some years. Refreshments were
served at about II o. clock, and in the
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Brown left
for their future home in BuclIhannon.
DR.. Brown is a young man who stands
high in his profession, and is a Guilt
waited gentleman in every sense of
the word. Mrs. Brown is one of our
most accomplished and cultivated
young ladies', and will be an ornament
to any society in which she may be
thrown. She is universal fayorite
with all who know her and in her
marriage PhiIippi loses young lady
whose place it will indeed be diff
cult to fill. The bride was the re-
cipient of many useful and valuable
presents from friends at a distance
as well as from our own people, who
know and appreciate her WORTH
For the newly married couple their
numerous friends have many good
words, in which the JeBersonian-
Plaindea1er hearty joins hands.

jefferson County Mutual.

Theannual meeting of the directors
of the Jefferson County Mutual Fire
Insurance Company was held in
Charlestown week before last. The
business of the Company for the past
year was found to be selected with
care. both as to moral hazard and or
binary fire hazard, the former now be-
coming the mostimportant in the JEFF
ferson county insurance. The COM

and detached town property. Where
it carries risks in blocks due care is
used as to style of risk, and not to
get too much within burning distance.
The company has cancelled during the
year $4,000 of insurance on prop
erty not desirable, and has declined
applications for insurance in amount
SEA, 900. It has paid in losses during
the year s983-losses. paid since or
ganization over S., 000-and has
never assessed the notes. Not only
has it carried property at one-haIf
what stock companies charge, but
these same stock companies have been
compelled in the past Eve years to re-
duce their rates at least oDe-third per
cent. The Mutual has been in bust
ness now seven years, and has become
a substantial county institution. 1t
has never gone out of the county for
business, having rejected a number
of applications for agencies, both
from Virginia, Maryland, and other
sections of our own State.

Periencc spcedier and more complete relief than
they can hope to do by the use of quinine.-
This well authenticated fact is of itself sufTf-
cient to have established high reputation for
the Bitters. But tho article is not a specific
merely for the various forms of malarial dis
ease. it endows the system with q degree of
vigor. and reforms its Irregularities with GER
tainty that constitute its best defence against
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
specially rife where the atmosphere and water
are nliasma tainted. Fever and ague, bilious
remittent, dumb agne and agne cake are rem
edted and prevented by it, and it also removes
dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism. &c
Take this medicine on the first Indication that
the system is out of order, and rest assured
that you will be grateful for the hint.

to those who practice and profess the

his political adherents. The present
policy of applying our ballots as mere
pabulum for feeding the fayorites of

which independent freemen should
not be subjected; and for one, it is
recorded not so to be in the future.
The party.of the Consultation are in
power, and upon trial, and if the off
GERS and Representatives whom the

stewards over our republic, State and

I fear it will, in the interest of bank

continue to pay tribute to the rich

that the Synod of Virginia has pig
ministers, eighteen licentiates, so can
didates, 344 churches and 26, Cos com
municants. Comparison of these fig

Food for WrathfuI Sherman.

The Chicago Herald has been study
ing the census to find out exactly how
many votes were suppressed in the
census year and where. The result
is the discovery that of SAG, 900
males of voting age in the North, c.
525, 1000 voted for President and O.
$4,000 did not. In the Southern
States the number of non-voters was
1871 900, or $50, 900 less than in the
North. 1t would seem that if it is
worth while to partially disfranchise
the onesection because it polls ,371,-
900 less votes than it might, it ought
TO be worth while to disfranchise the
other section, which has still larger
number of non-voters. Does Mr..
Sherman reflect that possibly all those
Northern men that are kept from the
polls are Democrats? In Rhode Is
land, it seems, most of them un-
doubtedly are.-BaN. San.

County Items.

From the Shepherdstown Register
we clip the following items:
Mr.. A. G. Morgan, of this place,
has been appointed a braIsemanon the
ShenandoahlNaIley Railroad. He will
run on the Riverton accommodation.
Henry Shepherd, Esq, is having
extensive repairs made to his hand
some residence in Shepherdstown,
and is fitting it up with all the modern
improvements. When the worl1men
have finished this will be one of the
most elegant dwellings in town. We
understand Mr.. Shepherd will remove
his family from /" Wild Goose" Farm
and occupy the house as a winter
residence.
The family of Mr.. James w. Kear-
ney had narrow escape from Sc
rious if not fatal accident last Satur-
day night. When the family retired
the damper in coal stove upstairs
was turned on, and this together with
the effects of the wind, threw the gas
from the stove into the sleeping apart
ments. During the night four of Mr..
Kearney's children became ill, one
after another, and then Mrs. Kearney
was also affected. The symptoms
were those of poisoning, but it was
soon discovered that it was gas that
caused the sickness. and fresh air
was quickly turned on. The chill
dren were ill on Sunday, but all re-
covered finally.
