Snelson has live here about three
or four years and is an industrious
and quiet young man, and will
make a kind and affectionate
husband. These young people
have our best wishes, and may
life's ending be as pleasant as the
beginning.
Another wedding in Greentop
right soon. We will let you know
when it occurs.
On last Tuesday morning Mr..
Light came near losing his life.
He had just started his mill to
commence saving, when he heard
some irregular motion OF the
machinery and went to examine;
while kneeling down near the
main shaft wheel investigating the
cause of the knocking projection
on the shaft of the fly whee I caught
in the pocket of his coat. and in
less time than it takes to tell it,
his clothing was wound round the
shaft and Mr.. Light was jerked
up over the shaft and wheel,
against the timbers on the other
side. Had it not been for these
timbers he would no doubt have
been killed; but the shaft was SO
close to the timbers or side of the
mill, that he could not pass under.
There being only a light head of
steam on at the time, and Mr..
Light being a very large and
heavy man, could not pass between
the shaft and side of the mill. This
brought a clog on the motion OF
the machinery that stopped it.
When taken out of this unde-
sirable position it was found that
his clothing were all ripped and
torn off. He sustained considera-
BILE injury, having two ribs broken,
and was otherwise bruised. at
present he is doing very well.

A Great Popular tyclopedia.

The third volume of Alden's
Manifold Cylopedia, a marvle of
condensed information GOV ers the
alphabet between the titles
Artemisia and Baptisia. There
seems to be little doubt that it
will prove to be the great popular
Cyclopedia for the next score of
years at least. The embodiment
of an Unabridged Dictionary of
Language and complete Cyclic
pedia of Universal knowledge in
! one work, in large type, with
thousands of illustrations, and all
for price less than people have
been used to paying for a
Dictionary alone, is not only q
novelty in plan, but to the ordinary
book-buyers the fact is hardly
less than astounding. Its accom-
plishment will certainly be
creditable to Alden's Literary
Revolution. AS to the quality OF
the work, both literary and me-
chanical, any common-sense
reader is capable of Judging The
volumes received at this Office
(Which any reader is welcome to
call and examine) are certainly
deserving of the unstinted praise
which they seem to be receiving.
The venerable Prof. Day, of
Yale College speaks of the work
in the following emphatic terms:
''The book in all respects more
than answers my expectations. 1t
is very neat volume, of a form
convenient for use, firmly bound,
of large, clear type, with contents
of just that general character
which the popular reader requires
comprehensive, accurate, and
compact. Its marvelously low
cost makes it a prize eagerly to be
sought in every lntelligence-loving
household

The Woody Quartette.

Those who have heard the
famous Hutchinson Family" and
the woody Brothers Quartette'
sing will agree with us, if they
know any thing about the melody
of the humal voice and a well
balanced quartette, that the
Woody Brothers excel in every
point. Their elocution is almost
perfect; their conception faultless;
their execution carefully studied;
they have humor, sentiment; the
passion in burst of grand harmon
les; the richest melody; fervor
and cadence. We cannot devote
the space to an individual
criticism, but do not feel like
passing the sweet, melodious bass
of the quartette. The tenor is
always lovely and the alto of Miss
Maggie quite charming for SO
young vocalist. Lovers of the
most enhancing of all sounds
the human voice-will find the
work of the Woodys full of
rapturous melody, enthusiasm,
devotion and soulful pleasure.
The audience gathered at the
opera house on Monday night to
here the Woodys was intensely
interested. 1t wept, laughed, ar-
plauded. We hope the Woodys
will come agein.--Montrose Col. J

New York, the Pacific Slope
