Married. In this City.pn Thursday, June 10th, 1875, by Rev.

A. Kuhls, Mr. Henry Hafner and Miss Kate Stewart. The wedding ceremony took place at the Catholic Church in this City, and the martial rites were celebrated by the beautiful and imposing cere monies of that Church. A large nauiber of the friends of the" contracting parties were present, and everything passed off to the satisfaction of the parties immediately interested.

After the ceremony was performed, the bridal party left the church in carriages for the residence of the bride's parents, where the day was spent by the bride and groom in receiving the congratulations of their friends, and by the guests in festivities. For the IleraM. Silver Wedding. The "Silver Wedding" of Mr. and Mrs.

D. B. Hadley was a very happy affair. Many friends assembled, and left behind silyery tokens of regard. A beautiful collation was spread for the.

delectation of the guests upon tables scattered about the lawn. Dancing by moonlight followed the feast, to the tones of the silver voiced flute, but, owing to the inexperience of the person who called off, -the dancers became confused in their like the witches in Tom.

One of the very handsomest gifts of the occasion an elaborate, breakfast castor was from Mr.

On monday afternoon about two o'clock we were startled by cries of firel tire! The alarm was occasioned by the burning of a building on Washington Avenue near the corner of Fourth Street, Owned by Ed. Harr ris. The building, which vas a stpry and a half brick, was entirely consumed. The Kansas Valley Building and Loan Association, held a mortgage on the building, and had it.Insured.', A strong wind was blowing at the time; and had it been a wooden structure.

We learn that Miss Lillv has alrenelv been off ered a position to teach in the Wyandotte schools, at a salary of $45 per monin. me demand tor prepared teachers is so great, that the young ladies of the Graduating class secured remunerative positions before graduating. "A lawsuit has sprung up in Burr-Oak, growing out of the rain storm Friday morning. A Farmer had fifty acres of corn, lying on a hill-side: The rain swept soil, "tiorn and all down anel over on to a neighbor's land. The hill-side farmer went to his -neighbor and demanded his land, which the latter refuseel to allow him to pre-empt on top of his farm.

The other has' brought suit to-recover it and now some new law points will be made. We hear that meetings to consider questions of relief, have been held at several points in this County, and that there have been whisperings of designs to make a raid upon those who have more than their share of produce, for the'benefit Qf those who have none. We do not suppose this measure will meet with much encouragement. It would only make the matter worse, by adding strife and litigation to destitution, fh all summary proceedings of this kind; the leaders are generally those Who do not need aid; or who are needy only through their own mismanagement, while the really deserving needy" are not aided by it. Thos.

Burns, who lives on Roy's ureeK; in Brown tells a stunner; but Tom is a man of veracity, and we. therefore repeat his storv. He says that one day last week, he kill ed a large bull snake, which measur ed more than six feet ir length. On streatching the snake out to measure its length, he observed' that its tail looked rather oddly, and upon examination, found that the grasshoppers had eaten the flesh and skin entirely off the bone for fully three inches in length off the end of tail," anel had eatn holes through the skin into the body of the" snake in several places. lie says me snaKe appeared stupid and dull, as snakes do when slough In speakinir about the silk frauds a few days ago, Judge Pierrepont incidentally said that there must be a big combination behind some of the silk smugglers.

He judged so from the large retainer that had been otfer- ed him to defend Lawrence. The retainer was $30,000, but he had to decline.it after his nomination as At torney-General. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
