a copy of the Buenos Aires Herald of
July 81, containing graphic account of
the recent revolution in that city. The
family of Mr.. Close, resided in the vicin-

language of Miss Millie, "were in the
thickest of the fight and falling into the
patio" and though badly frightened

attack number of Vigilantas broke into
the house bringing with them several
wounded men, who were kindly cared for
by the family, until they were taken away

in state of siege until August 81, though
in the meantime, thanks to the good Off
ces of foreign COnsuls, business went

the ceremony which binds until death
Charles Steger and Miss May Mcbride,
Was pronounced by Rev. DIR. Robt. Alex
ander. at the home of the bride, in the
East End, in the presence of about forty

ing parties. The bride is the eldest
daughter of d. III. Mcbride, Esq, of this
place, and is a young lady of winsome
appearance and manners. The groom is
gentlemanly and esteemed young man,
and no doubt possesses the qualifications
of a good husband. After the solemn
service had been said, the company sat
down to wedding supper which was ap-
petizing in every detail, and full justice
was rendered to the tempting viands by
all. The evening was then spent in So
cial enjoyment. They were the recipi-
ents of many handsome as well as useful
presents. A reception to Mr.. and Mrs.
Steger was given by the parents of the
groom, at their home in MOrristown, on
Friday. The newly welded pair will
take up their residence here, attended by
the wish of their friends, with whom we
join, that the star of their prosperity may
ever rise.

ABOUT noon on Monday, while the
horse of George Barnes, the mail carrier
on the Uniontown route, was being held
in front of the Post-offiee, it suddenly
took fright at a traction engine, and with
one bound cleared itself of the light wag
on to which it was attached, and freed
itself from a person holding it. Headed
eastward, it cantered rapidly over the
lawn in front of the Sheriff s residence,
ran down street at break-neck speed,
and finally took the sidewalk where its
right to run was undisputed. 1t knock
ed down John Christy, who CHANGED to
get in the way, and spurned all obstruct-
ions. 1t narrowly escaped running into
a house, and had full sway about as long
as it chose to run. No one set up any
claim to the right of the street while the
horse desired it. After running through
the streets and alleys for some time it
turned up near the school building, and
was caught. The wild and mad actions
of this horse frightened James Hinkle'S
team, which was standing near OsbOrne's
grocery. and it too started to run, and
was making a fair effort at it, when
caught near McBride's blacksmith shop.
The streets being full of teams at the |
time, some excitement was OccaSioned. |
None of the horses were seriously injured |
by their mad capers.

STATE FAIR AT WHEELING

The Island Fair last week, despite the
inclemency of the weather, drew large
crowds on Wednesday and Thursday.
The exhibits were good-about the usual
standard. On both these days balloon
ascension occurred, but on the former it
was almost failure simply tumbling
over the fence into the river. The aero
naut-a lady-was nearly drowned by
the parachute falling on her and prevent
ing her from swimming. On Thursday
it was little more of a success, the aero
naut descending by means of parachute
while the balloon sailed off some distance
and fell into the river.
The racing was good and drew large
crowd of sight-seers and gamblers. The
usual amount of beer was consumed, and
the regular amount of drunkenness pre-
vailed. VIM. Poertner. young man of
Wheeling, in attempting to cross the
track before the horses in race on
Thursday, was knocked down and sus-
tanned perhaps fatal injuries by one of
the horses stepping on him, producing
of the brain. The customary
devices to fleece the unwary prevailed,
and many are poorer and wiser as the
outcome of their speculations. The races
of Friday were declared off, owing to the
unsuitable condition of the race course, |
due to the rain of the preceding night,
and the fair virtually closed with Thurs
day The receipts were slightly in ex-
cess of the expenditures, and the result
was gratifying to the management in
view of the condition of the weather dur
ing the entire exhibition. The fair in
all was very good, and only rain prevent
ed it from being much greater success.

RilLt well, do recall the day
Our by to war was called away,
Left parents, lrothers, sisters, all in tears
10 jon those noblest of all soldiers-vol-
uateers.
Twas bright, a sunny. de1y, Monday
morn,
We heard the piping of the warlike bugle-
horn,
He bade farewell to schoo,mates and to
home,
Midst the clash and roar of battle fields to
roam;
Nor blanched his cheek, nor qualed his
manly eye,
When bidding us his last, his last goodbye;
His voice was firm, his step uncommon true,
give, said he, give my last adieu;
l 90, it is my country's call, he said,
Fate tells me, I'll be numbered with the
dead.,s
Yet, for the liberation of race,
From traitor shot and shell I'll never turn
my face;
I'll think Of you, when sun our way will
parch;
Remember home, when through winter
storms we march;
For liberty fight, for that the pains en-
dure,
IT'S mans freedom -man's happiness that
allure.
lie went. Report and rumor came
of victory and defeat, the same
as other things in this uncertain world
When peace from her throne by turbulence
is hurled.
Twas, l believe, on a December night.
We sat around our blazing tireside bright,
And talked of war. and talked and thought
OF liberty, the price at which It's bought,
When -hark! what is that sound that
breaks upon the ear
a knock; ope' the door, who is 1t here?
a messenger, a message for US there,
Delivered with due reverence and care.
We broke the seal, our father read it oer:
My friends, dear friends, I'LL never see you
- more; = ::
I'm dyinsI dying midst the battles roar,
'Mongst striving thousands on a southern
shore; - ~
But the day is ours, I hear my comrades
say;
So, liberty and peace will crown our people
from this day.
/ die, but what is that to me,
Since my life buys bonded millions free:
And Ibeseech you hold it, hold 1t for them
safe, secure;
Long have they been in thralldom, long in
ignorance obscure,
A beaten, lashed, a bruised, down-trodjen
race;
Crushed in their. budding primc-we now
eff4cel
The blasting stigma of a bonding chain,
And say, liberty for all, must hence forever
reign;
While battles thunder seems to answer
back to slavery's exaoting word: =
Ayaunt! ye craving vultures, when freemen
speak they must aud will be heard.
And, anon, when winter wanes aud spring
to summer runs.
Remember then these roble-these heroic,
soldier soGs.
And every spring we gather richest flowers
Natures donors,
And heap upon their graves nations
honors.
