McCoy-CaIIis Wedding.

Last Monday afternoon at two o. clock |
a pleasant event took place, at the
house of General John b. Calls. This
event was the wedding of Mr.. Erskine
Mccoy, son OF Hon. VIM. } Mccoy Of
this city, and Miss Bessie Calls. daugh-
ter of General Calls. The day was
rainy and dark but this in no way af-
fected the spirits of the guests VINO
gathered TO witness the marriage, and
though the old adage prophesies hap
piness for the bride upon whom the sun
shines, the old rhyme often has to be
reversed and in this case we feel sure
that much happiness awaits the bride
on whom the rain fell
The wedding was a quiet one, the
ceremony being performed in the pre-
sence of the relatives of the bride and
groom and few intimate friends. At
two o'clock the wedding party came
down the stairs and passing into the
parlor took their places before the Rev.
Mr.. Grinnell who by the solemn rites of
the marriage service of his church,
bound them together ''for better, for
worse until death
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccoy are so well
known in our community that it is hard
~ necessary to suggest their popularity
and the regard in which they are held
by all their friends Mr.. Mccoy has
been in Lancaster for number of years.
He is now one of our successful mer-
chants and is highly esteemed by every
one. Mrs. Mccoy, has as yet been
known to us but few hours, but Miss
Bessie Calls was born in Lancaster and
here she has passed her life. In offer
ing congratulations her friends congrat-
ulate themselves also, that Que so popu-
lar with old and young. is not to be lost
to Lancaster's social circles, by her mar
riage. A number of handsome wedd-
ingpresents were received
The bride wore dress of changeabe
silk, the predominating color being
Lavender, relieved with lace and dow
ers. After Mr.. and Mrs. Mccoy had
been congratulated and recongrat-
ulated, the guests repaired to the dining
room where lunch was served Shortly
after this part of the ceremony had been
disposed of,the bride appeared in a
blue cloth travelling suit and this was
the signal for the farewcls which fol-
lowed the newly welded pair to the
carriage, while the clouds at that par
ticular moment seemed to shed rice as
well as rain or the fortunate couple.
Mr.. and Mrs Mccoy went to Chicago,
where they will remain a week, stop
ping in Milwaukee for few days on
their way home. We extend our hearth
est congratulations and best wishes for
future happiness.

a mans literary productions his
book, his poem are more peculiarly his
own, than any accumulation Of houses
lands or money. The embodied ideas,
which with arduous and exhaustinG tot
he weaves into history, fiction or poetry
are his own and ought to be SO consid-
cred. But such is not the case, and
literary robbery is considered no theft.
The book makers are trying to ret the
law to stamp such piracy as piracy and
forbid it, but.they are having hard
time of il. The laws of the United States
protect the literary productions of its
own people, bat the works of foreigners
can be conliscated and dealt ont in five
and ten cent editions by any one who
has printing press to print them on.
The foreign inventor can patent his
production but the foreign writer has
no protection. We reserve to ourselves
the right to be the meanest country in
the world in this respect. Sin brings its
own punishment and in perversion of
the national taste, by the wholesale re-
production Of all SORTS of books, and in
the uuamerican character Of much of
our native literature, we are reaping the
fruit of such injustice. There be land
thieves and water thieves" 6ut worse
than either there be book thieves. The
first two if brought to the scratch,
would admit that their calling was Mt
very honorable. but the third class won't
admit that they are thieves. The book
makers and the book publishers are
having tussle but the authors are
bound to win because they are right.

home last week Wednesday on the
evening train. Mrs. Miller has been
in Nebraska through the winter where
She went last fall to visit her mother.
During her stay in the west she has had
Il number of sad experiences. Her
mother, on the day of the terrible
blizzard, in January, drove to the town
several miles from her home, to visit
another daughter and purchase supplies.
Taking two of her grandchildren into
the sleigh-for visit at her home with
their cousins-she started back. but
the storm overlook her and she and the
little children persisted in the snow.
Before this, shortly after Mrs. Miller's
arrival at her mothers home, Maud had
been thrown from a pony she was
riding, and her arm very badly broken.
As they were twenty-five miles from a
DOCTOR by the time one could arrive,
Maud's arm was so swollen that it
could not be set until the Inflammation
could be reduced. As a consequence of
this, the arm is now in bad condition
and it is feared that it will be crippled
for life. Three weeks ago Mr.. Miller
was summoned West by a telegram,
announcing the serious illness of the
baby. Since that time, until few days
before they started home, Mr.. and Mrs
Miller watched the little one, day and
night, without rest, and by their care
succeeded in bringing the baby safely
through q terrible attack of pneumonia
complicated with commissions. They
are now at home and their friends here
extend them welcome and sympathy for
the varied sad experiences that have be-
fallen them during their absence.
