The pretty little town of Hobol1en, eight
miles from Allegheny, on the West Penn
Railroad, was the scene of an interesting
event last Wednesday evening which was
of considerable importance to Hoboken So
ciety in general and two of its most promf-
nent members in particular. Rev. ID. V.
Mays performed a ceremony by which Miss
SAgnes T., daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. john
Wightman, was united in wedlock to Mr.
Albert G. Bert at the residence of the
brides parents, in the presence of large
icircle of intimate friends and relatives. A
brother and sister of each of the contract
ing parties held positions of honor. Messrs.
Frank U. Bert and James NJ. Wishtman
were groomsmen and Misses Mary Bert and
Margaret Wightman the briGenaids. the
groom is a well-known and highly respected
Young man, and his bride was popular ana
efficient school teacher. Tho spacious anu
beautifully decorated double parlors were
filled with happy throng OF lnVlteo
guests, which included many charming
bellies and gallent beaux, anG even wen
those who are no longer young IN years
were as Young in heart on this occasion as
in the days of their youth. An elegant sup
per was served and band OF expert mnsl-
clans from Allegheny rendered some dellght-
ful music which fiO3tcd out in rhythmlcal
melodies on the gentle evening zephyrs
until the sweet, lingering cadences oleu
away in the distance. Among those present
were guests from Allegheny, Sharpsburg,
Verona, Sandy Creek, Montrose and Natrona.
Numerous valuable and useful presents were
received which will doubtless be regarded
as pleasing mcmentoes of this important
occasion ana treasured tokens OF the re-
spect and esteem of true and sincere frlends,
while time rolls on the pleasant recollec-
tions and fond memories clustering around
them will make them of much greater worth
than their mere intrinsic value. The eStl-
mable Young couple will reside at Hoboken,
and host of admiring friends unite in
wishing them long continued happiness and
prosperity.
Among the successful social events Of the
week in the pretty borough of Williamsburg
was the lawn fete given Tuesday evening
under the auspices of the Y. P. S. G. E. of the
PRESBYTERIAN Church. The fete was to have
taken place on the grounds OF Mr.. Robert
Ferguson of Hampton Place, but on account
OF the rain the managers were compelled to
make an indoor affair of it. So the dainty
booths were fitted up in the lecture room
of the church, where goodly number of
pleasure seekers spent a most enjoyable
evening. About 500 were realized, which
will be devoted to church purposes. The
members of the society are arranging for
another lawn fete to be given about the last
OF August.
Mr.. Charles schwab and wife, and his

longing to the elder Schwab, and being
driven by him, became unmanageable when
near high prec1plcc several miles from
CreSson, and commenced backing the car
riage from the side of the road toward the
deadly precipice. But just as the vehicle
with its precious load of; occupants was al
most balanced over the top of the noun tain

mind, jerked the bit and threw the horse
upon the carriage pole. They escaped with
a broken carriage pole and a wait OF several
hours upon the road until a new rig was
secured.
