Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

  On Thursday afternoon last Mr. Samuel H. Donnelly, an employe of the 
passenger car shop, was missed from his usual place and his comrades 
were very anxious about him, but some time in the course of the 
afternoon he was seen making all speed for the depot, where he boarded 
the train for Hollidaysburg, and then light began to break in on their 
vision.  A lady was at the bottom of the affair.  In the course of an 
hour a minister was called into requisition and Mr. Donnelly shook the 
bachelor dust from his feet and embarked on the sea of matrimony.  Mr. 
Donnelly has the best wishes of his comrades, and that while sailing 
along through life's uneven ways he may have many bright sunbeams to 
cheery on his way.

HYMENEAL.

  On Thursday evening about 9 o'clock a well-loaded coach stopped in 
front of the Lutheran parsonage.  In almost no time the gay and happy 
party were within; nor was it long until Rev. D. L. Ryder had tied the 
Gordian knot.  And now they who were known as Mr. S. H. Donnelly and 
Miss Carrie Rudel, have adopted one name and are sailing in one boat.  
The happy couple went to Altoona the same evening to take the train for 
Pittsburgh.  The good wishes of many friends follow them.
