just before the hour of services
some mischievous boys turned on the
gas In the First Presbyterian church
at Henderson Sunday. When the con-
gregation assembled they found the
room filed with the vile smelling stuff
and several ladies had to leave the
church. The thoughtful minister
ordered the usual collection taken up
and dismissed the congregation, say
ing it would be unwise to remain in
the foul atmospheric -Courier-Jour-
nal.

The little village of Lambert
near Hawesville, has a social SEN
sation of large dimensions. A
young farmer named Harrison
Shadricks was engaged to Miss
Julia Clements and the day of the
wedding was announced. When
the time rolled around everything
was in readiness for the ceremony.
The prospective bride, with her
parents, left home elegantly appar-
eled to meet the groom to- be and
lis party at the church door. She
arrived on time. but the bride
groom failed to appear. The or
ganist waited in vain for a signal
to play the wedding march. When
due allowances had been made for
all delay and they partially realiz-
ed that Mr.. Shadricks wasn't com
ing, the congregation was dismiss
ed. Miss Clements tainted, and
'her father armed himself with a
shotgun and went in search of the
missing link to the matrimonial
chain that had promised to be
Welded under such favorable aus
pices. He did not find Shadricks.
The recreant wooer probably fore
saw that the best way to avoid
trouble was to put several miles of
daylight between himself and the
angry father. At any rate, he
bought ticket that morning for
Cairo, ILL.,, and is now in that city,
provided he hasn't thought it nee
essary to get even farther away
from Papa's Clements shotgun
Meantime the young lady is nearly
distracted with grief and the we'd
ling that failed is being discussed
by the entire village, to the utter
exclusion Of all other topics.

A Pleasant Event.

On Wednesday evening last, quite a
large number of the neighbors and
friends of Hon. j. j. Woodman met at
his residence to greet him and his
bride on their return from Washing
ton and TO congratulate them upon
their recently formed partnership.
The gathering was complete surprise,
and as the company came one by one,
OF in pairs, it created some merriment
to witness the hasty preparation to
entertain the uRinvited guests. The
we'll known, hearty hospitality of MIR.
Woodman, however, aided by the evi-
dent tact and cheerful demeanor of
Mrs. Woodman, soon settled the tumult
of the reception, the introductions aud
congratulations into the calmer breeze
of general conversation. and the even
ing was one of the pleasaptest of the
many enjoyed in those hospitable par
lors.
To say that the neighbors are delight
ed with the new acquisition is not flat
terry, but the unvarnlshed sentiment OF
all who CROPPED through the darkness
to be present.
Mrs. Woodman jestingly claimed the
match TO be a victory for her sex, on
account of the prerogatives which leap
year furnish, which reflected somewhat
upon the well known caution of Mr..
Woodman IN the selection of every
thing he is seeking after
