After congratulations, the guests sat down to an ele.ant and bounteous wedding dinner, to whitjh they did ample justice, and by so doing, proved, to Miss Ella Sayler, their gratitude for providing so fine and ample a repast. After dinner, they listened to an able and grand address, by Rev. J. J. Claypool, who closed his remarks by saying: “They whom God hath joined, let no ma i put asunder.” After the the venerab e couple were made the recipients of the customary wedding presents, goldbu and other, to the value of about 840, for which Mr. and Mrs. Sayler return thanks to Mrs. Mary Hopkins and family, Lewis Daugherty and family, John Daugherty and family, Mrs. Sarah A.

Railboad talk. —The last issue of the Warsaw Herald rejoices greatly over the prospects of the Detroi , Indiana and St. Louis Railway, and says that the Board of Diieetors have ordered the survey of the route from the Indiana state line (eastern) to Warsaw. The president of the road, according to the Herald, has viewed the line of the proposed road from Warsaw to Fayette, Ohio, and finds it easy of construction, while the towns along the line were exceedingly anxious for ' ttre building of the jroad. The Detroit, Indiana and St. Louis has already been several times mentioned in this paper. The road, if built, will run from Gilman, 111., to Fayette, Ohio, Rensselaer being one of the points upon the line.

The local offices of ’ the Chicago & Indianapolis Air Line will be on the south of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific building, at the head of East Maryland street.— “Indianapolis Journal.” The trains put on the Air Line between Delphi and Indianapolis last week, consist at pr esent only of a daily train each way, mixed freight and passenger. We are unable to say how long this arrangement is to last but understand that it is but for a limited time only. The Continental.—Col. Yarrington, General Manager of the Continental has not yet lost his faith in the future of the road. He writes Mr. R. S. Dwiggins that the president of the road is in Europe trying to secure funds for its construction, and should not that plan succeed, Yarrington himself knows ot some parties who he thinks will furnish the necessary capital.

The committee of Monon citizens, who went to Louisville last week to confer with President Young, of the L., N-A. & U. R’y, concerning the proposed machine shops, returned the first of the week and report that they had every assurance that the shops would be located at Monon. This is cheering intelligence and will

give a fresh impetus to the growth ’> or that already flourishing town. We hope that every assurance ob- ( tamed by the committee from President Young will be fully realized at an early day. The outlook is promising for Monon. From present indications it will soon break the co ..fines of an inconsequential village and merge into the magnitude of a prosperous city.—“ Mon. ticello Herald” ‘■Yes llrrry, mv colored body'servant, i Is a'good b<y.” the Isle Alexander H.t te pht a-i sa d to a ceulleman B<>on alter the !
