Our Carroll township correspondent writes as follows: The many friends of John Dunkelberger, of Carroll township, were shocked to hear of his sudden death, which took place at his home on Friday afternoon. Mr. Dunkelberger's health had been as good as usual, and he had gone to the cornfield to help his wife husk several shocks of corn. He could not husk much on account of several strokes of paralysis which he had had, but while she husked he thought he could husk a few stalks. They had one shock husked and had commenced the second when Mr. Dunkelberger began spitting blood. In a few minutes the blood gushed from his mouth. His wife summoned help, but in a very short time he had passed to rest. Just a moment before he died his wife asked him if he was ready? His answer was, "Yes, I am ready." He leaves a wife, three children, one brother and two sisters to mourn ======= (I'm sorry the bottom of this wedding announcement is cut off.)

The church was filled with guests when the bridal party entered from the vestibule, where they formed. While Miss Henrietta G. Wright, of Philadelphia, sang the Presbyterian wedding hymn "Oh, Perfect Love" the ushers walked down the centre aisle, the maids down the side aisles. The ushers took their positions at the right of the altar, while the maids crossed the front of the church and countermarched up the center aisle to meet the bride leaning on the arm of her father, who was preceded by the maid of honor and the flower girl. They took their places at the altar when the beautiful ring ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. James Ramsay, of the Presbyterian church of Beaver, Pa. After the ceremony the bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march as rendered by Mrs. E. G. Fatterson, of Pittsburg. The bride was dressed in silk mulle, wore a veil and carried a shower bouquet. The maid of honor was Miss Lorene B. Mattern, of Milesburg, and she was dressed in silk mulle. The bridesmaids were Miss Mary H. Wright, of Philadelphia, and Miss Gertrude E. Bouse, of Tyrone. They were attired similar to Miss Mattern and carried bouquets of pink and white carnations.
