They passed between two great bowl
ders which had fallen from the bank
above, followed a ravine into the hills
for about 200 feet, and after a climb up
the right hand bank found the hiding
place among tho rocks. There was
small fire burning against great bowl
der. and on bed of leaves and bra.ch-
es lay Royal Kenton with bullet
wound in the calf of the right leg. 1t
was bit of good luck for him in the
midst OF adversely that the bullet had
passed clear through without touching
the bone. IL was a painful and tenn
porarily disabling wound, and he had
lost much of his strength before the
bleeding could be checked, but he was
inclined to make light of the situation
as BIayton and Uncle Ben appeared.
The old darky knew Kenton only by
sight, bat the sight of him lying there
in that helpless condition was call for
him to throw himself down on his knees

''Fo' de Lawd an fo' de Lawd, but

Kenton soon made the situation plain
to him, and then as the two talked about
affairs at the house Steve Brayton
washed and bound mp the wound afresh,
made up comfortable bed, arranged
one of the blankets for shelter and
saw that Kenton ate as well as talked.
The adventure which Uncle Ben had on
tho road was felt to be another menace
to be guarded against. After leaving
the house where they had taken break
fast and encountered the Confederate
sergeant, they had hastened mp the eide
Of the mountain and headed direct for
Rest Haven. Within an hour they found
that a number Of men were on their
trail, and two or three times during the
day they were obliged to hide them
selves for an hour or two. No shots
were exchanged until about o'clock in
the evening, and then they were fired
upon by three men in ambush. Kenton
was hit and fell. but he struggled up
and made run of IT,, with Steve Bray
ton covering his retreat. Pain and loss
of blood hnally brought the wounded
man down again. and he appealed to
Steve to leave him and make his own
escape.

The third week OF tho Marshall
county tcaciIcrs' institute opened res'
terday morning at MOundsvillc ut 9:45.
Many new faces wore present, but tho
attendance was not so large as the two
preceding weeks. The exercises were
opened by singing. reading OF the scrip
lures and prayer by J. I. King. The
roll was then called, followed by good
talk on physiology. pointing out many
common mistakes that are made in
teaching this branch, and giving some
good practical advice on tho caro- Of tho
body. Mr.. King urged the Importance
OF daily bathing, and claimed that this
age Of the world is far behind on this
subject, and that there ought to be pub
lie bath houses Ia every city. 30 that
boys would not have TO expose them
selves in order to perform this lite'pre'
serving duty.
This was followed by grammar, by D.
T. Williams. The lesson WAS on verbs.
This is one OF the most difficult parts OF
speech and was treated in very thor
ouyh manner. Messrs. Williams, Pow
ell, King aud few others had quite a
lively discussion over the trausitive
verb.
At 1880 p. IN. Mr.. Talbert gave the
first talk on penmanship. Mr.. Talbert
is a good penman aud thoroughly un~
derstands how to teach. The topics he
talked on were position, movement and
form.
MIR. E. Bonar talked on physiology.
The talk was principally on how to rear
children. Mr.. Bonar seems to be very
well acquainted with the subject and
handled it in an able manner. He also
talked OF tho composition and different
parts Of tho body.
Prof. D. r. Williams took up book
keeping. A set OF books was opened.
and will be run through in practical,
busness.like way.
This was followed by West Virginia
History, by W. s, Powell. The lesson
was on the origin OF tho state aud the
later historr. This lesson brought forth
n very lively aud warm discussion as to
tho constitutionality OF the formation OF
West Virginia, between Hon. ]. Alcx.
Ewing and Prosecuting Attorney Par.
soma. The county superintendent called
them down and they did not got to
finish. Parsons challenged Ewing to
meet him at any time and ut any place
on the question.

Edward @. Burke and Miss Belle
Farley. whose parents reside at 64t
Wylio avenue, were married last We'd

groom IL q brother Of James Francis
Burke, the young politician, and is well
known as one OF the best stcnographers
in tho two cities. The bride Is an accom-:
plishcd young lady, sixteen years OF
ugc, and noted for her beauty. Her
parents objected to the marriage on &C.
count OF her age, and would not allow
ii under any circumstances.
When Mr. Burke discovered that 1t
was impossible to get their consent to
che wedding, he arranged with the
young lady 10 elope, and Wednesday
last MAS the appointed day. Prior TO
this, however, he wrote to the clerk OF
courts in New Cumberland, telling him
thoy would be there, and asking him TO
have minister in the court house to

pretext OF going Adopting, and took the
io:4O train on the Cleveland & Pitts
burgh rond, arriving there ns ) o'clock
in tho afternoon. A few minutes later
they were married., aud left that after
noon for Wheeling, where they stopped
at the Hotel windsor for two days.
Edward ErlsInan and Nellie Flanagan
accompanied them rs witnesses, aud
came home tho samo afternoon.
Tho couple wrote to Mr.. Farley, ut.
quaintIng him OF what they had done,
aud although much iispieased, no dnat-
" roien,ed aud wrote TO his daughter to
come home, as she had his forgiveness.
They arrived hero on Friday eveainG
and stopped ut Erisman's hotel, on
Fifth avenue. They will remain there
few days and then go 10 housekeeping
in the East End. Many friends called
yesterday to tender their congratula-
tons,
