From the Boston Traveller.] Brown, a young insurance friend of onrs, who lives in Cambridge, had tbe fifth annivers ary of his wedding occur abont a week ago, and his friends determined to oolebrate his wooden weddiDg by a surprise party.

Then they began to oome with presents and materials for supper.— There was a little pirty of five came first, all laden—hands fall.

Wx clip the following from the Colnmbns Son, of Taesday afternoon: A Cold Blooded Mubdzr —We learn from Mr. Fred.

Mr. Wm. Clark, a mer chant at that dace, wan standing near tbe depot when Mr. Ed. Walker, a farmer living a short distance from the station, rode np on bis mule and shot him dead. Tbe weapon need was a doable barrel shot gun, and the charge lodged in Clark’s temple, killing him instantly, old grudge is Raid to have been the cause of this terrible tragedy.

We find the following in the Angnsts Chron icle and Sentinel of Taesday morning. Death or Col. W. .T. Vason —Col. W. J. Vsaon, h well known citizen of Angnsta, died at his residence, on Washington street, abont half-pant twelve o'clock last Sunday, of paraly sis, st the age of s ; xty-thxee years. Col. Yason was a native of Morgan oonnty, Georgia, and a brother of Hon. D. A. Vaeon, of Albany. He was early admitted to the bar, and went out to California to practice law daring tbe great gold excitement. He soon left that region, however, And moved to New Orleans. He left New Or leans for Angnsta shortly after his marriage with a dangbter of the late Tamer Clanton, of this city, and resided here from that time nntil bis death, a period of about eighteen years. He was a member of the Richmond bar, although not engaged in praotice for a nnmbbr of years back. He had been in bad health for some time previous to his death, tbe final stroke of p&ralj sis being, we believe, the third. His faneral took plaoe yesterday afternoon at five o’clock. Stcike at Gba.mteville —Wennderstandthat strike wa3 ordered in the cotton factory at Graniteville on last Saturday, and that the op eratives ceased to work on that day. Tbe cause of the trouble, we learn, was not tbe amount of wages paid by the oompiny, bnt the manner in which payments were made. Under a former administration of affairs it was a custom to pay off the operatives at the end of every two weeks, bat the present management though it best to pay off monthly instead of semi-monthly. This Arrangement, it is said, caused much dissatis faction, and a few days ago the operatives pe titioned the Superintendent to restore the old enstom. Their demand, we understand, was refnsed, and a strike was then ordered and fx- ecuted—all the employes bnt forty or iifiy ceasing work. The same paper gives the details of the ac cident on the Charlotte, Colombia and Angnsta Railway, mention of which was made in onr telegrams Tuesday morning: Last Sunday morning the sleeping coaob, Pi oneer No. 1, of the Pullman Line, attached to the rear of the paj&enger train of the Char lotte, Colombia and Angnsta Railroad, dae at Angnsta at 8:20 a. u , was thrown from the trestle beyond Hamburg, abont a quarter of a mile from the river, and its two passen gers, Mr. Patrick Walsh, of the Ohroniole and Sentinel, and Mr. F. W. Clark, Assistant Gen eral Freight Agent of the Atlantio Coast Line, tbe sleeping car condnotor, Mr. S. W. Banting, and the colored porter, Wm. Mishaw, the only persons in the oar at the time, all, more or less, severely cat and braised. The circumstances attending the accident—gained by ns from the best source* of information—appear to be as follows: The train, composed of fonr ean, tbe baggage, first and seoood eU*a passenger, and the sleeping coaob, was under charge of Con ductor R. H. Hand. Mr. Henry Wbitaett, the engineer, had only been on tbe road a short time, that being his seoond trip over it. Knowing this fact, the conductor says as the train rounded the carve he rose to pull the bell rope in order to warn tbe engineer that be mast slacken his speed, the trestle being doss by. Before his hand touched the rope, however, the whistle blew tbe signal for down brakes and he there fore sat down* satisfied that the engineer knew what he was about. Almost immediately after wards tbe whistle sounded tbe alarm denoting that something was on the track ahead. Thia signal was caused by tbe engineer seeing a oow grazing on the track near the beginning of the long trestle extending from the rivex to Shultz’s HilL The animal was a short distance from the highway leading from Hamburg to Shultz’s Hill, and on tbe side nearest the river. Instead of jumping from the track when the whistle blew, she started along the trestle and had proceeded probably four or five feet when the oow-catcher struck her. It is supposed that afce was picked np by this and carried to the point where the accident occurred, a distanoe of about twenty yarda, and that sbe then slipped off and dropped upon the tree tie. falling partly between two of the cross ties. Tbe entire train, with the excep tion of the sleeping car, passed over her safely, although the first class passenger coach, the one next to the last, had a very narrow r'cMpsiloo p»Xnio cream heTl'med^oaRh escape. When the sleeping ear leached the hot hoose in tho corner of coir, which was jammed between two of tbe ties, it i« ^opposed th.it one of tbe latter—which h»d probably become loosened by the tracks of the forward ears striking against tbe caroaaa of the animal—became fastened ia the roar track, which was immediately slewed around. The rear end of the cat then broke loo«e from the track and slided off tbe east side of the trestle, the track on the top of which is .boot fifteen foot from the lerel ground below. The weight of the oar jerked the bumper off the ladle*’ ud the sleeper, now d*aobed from the rest of the train, was burled to the earth. For- innately, jost at. the point where the occurred is .3 embenkment extending aboot half way np the track, and the oar, in falling, •track its rear end .gain** plete somersault, and landing finally to the soft earth in its proper position, top op. Bnt for tne bank its roar and would hare first rosebud the earth, and the inmates of tbs CM kiUet The train was stopped abont fifty yards beyond tbe eoene of the soot dent, and the conductor, if- TTand l jumping froji tbs ladles onr, rnn back to where the sleeping car hid fallen. He first endeerored to get in at the front door, bnt finding that blockaded by the debris inside, he hurried to the roar entrance, where he suc ceeded in getting in. He fonnd Messrs. Walsh mod Clark lying in the aisle. Hr. Walsh partly on top of Mr. Clark, and both nnconeeioas. Hr Clark was bleeding profnsely. and his face was coTerad with blood and mod, Ihe latter haring oome in throngh the windows when the oar straek the bank. Hr. Hand, with the aasiaUnoe of other parties, remored the two gentlemen to a grass plat ontaide. He then retnrned to look for tbe sleeping ear oondnetor. Hr. Banting. He fonnd him in his berth, where be was sleep, log at the time of tbe accident, enveloped in the elothlng and unable to more. His head was btdly braised, bnt otherwise he was nnirjared. The ootorod porter, Wm Hi'htw, was painfully cot sod brai-ed. Mr. Walsh recovered oon- •oionsneaa after being carried into the open air. Mr. Clark remained iraensible nntil bo was brought to the city. Fortnnately a carriage was passing in the direction of tbe oity, and it was immediately stopped, the wounded pas sengers placed in It and'oonveyed to their homes by Mr. Thoa. Donahne. Both Mr. Clark and Mr. Walsh were painfully injured by the accident. Mr. Oitrk’s right ear was split, tbe smalt artery osck of it out, his head badly contused in several places, and his body se verely braised He reoovered consoionraesa on reaching his sister’s residenoe on Broad street, bat relspeed into insensibility on being earned to bed. and remtioed in tbit state nntil two o’oloek Snnday. He was mneb weakened by the loss of blood, hat was improving rapidly yesterday, and will probably be able to appear on tbe streets again in a few day*. Mr. Walsh was badly cat and braised about his head, arms and other portions of his body. He also re ceived a severe and very painfnl oontnsion on the back of his head. Hi* injuries, however, though painfnl, are not serious, and he expects to retnrn to his labors this afternoon. The es- cape of the two gentlemen, tinder tbe oironm stances, appears almost wonderful. As alligator, fonr feet long, was oiptnred in an Atlanta sewer by some juvenile darkeys on Taesday afternoon. They report having seen a mnoh larger one which went np the sewer and escaped. Mb. David MoBbidx and Mr. U L.

Filling Teeth by Machinery. From tbe Beading (Pa ) Eagle, August 7 ] At the effioe of a dentist in this city are to be seen several very enrions mechanical appliances nsed for drilling holes in teeth and preparing cavities, and filing them with gold and other metal. They sre known as drills and plnggers. Tbe most wnnd-rfal thing of sills tbe faot that this maohinery is rnn by eleatriolty alone For insttuee tbe drill; this appliance is small, and is held in the hand while operating with it, the same as a pen while writing. It is oonneoted with wires leading to a battery, and tbe electric current ooming in eontaot with the several parts of tbe machinery the drill revolves a great many hnndred times a minnte, and than easily and per feotly performs what has heretofore been labo rious, tediens, and annoying work, both to the operator and to tbe patient. Another drill is a so shown wbtoh bar heretofore been rnn by treadle power. The owners of the latter pa tent in order to keep np with the eleotrio drill have invented a small engine for the pnr- pose of taking the place of the treadle power. There i* the eleotrio plngger, which is mod to fill oavities with appropriate metal or other aebstanae. It is operated by eleotrioity, and strikes with great rapidity when in operation, doing its work with wondrous accuracy. It is held in the bands of the operator in almost the same manner as the drill, and the jar or shock made by the descending instrument on the tooth is scarcely peroeptible.

IIow Sbe Became Grtcn, Mr. Green was a good looking man, very- he dressd well—was well poBted up in ma ters of business, snd bad tbe reputation of being a smart men. But Mr. Green bed lived thirty years without a wife. It wasn’t his fault, for he was fond of the society of the fairer sex; owned a floe house, which he rented for his board, and there were plenty of marriageable ladies in the village. How happened it, then, that Mr. Green re* mlined in a state of siDgie blesiedoess ? Went of oonrage. Mr. Green »u a coward among tbe ladies. True, he could piok np a lady’s handkerchief, hold a rkein of yarn, or give his arm in the politest manner to esoort a lady from church. He had seen at least a half dozen women be wonid have married, or wbo wontd have married him; but he never could muster sufficient oonrage to ask either of them whether she waold or not. One evening he was visiting at tbe window Smith’s—Widow 8mt!h—not twenty-six years had flown over her head, and yet she had been widow three years, sod had long pnt off her widow’s weeds She was pretty, had placed her only child beside her husband in the grave yard and elghed for a ocmpsnioo; and many a time had she remarked to her friends she wondered why Mr. Green did not get married. He was an oosasional esller at her house, and wonld have married her at an hour's notice. But she did not know it. He had never whispered to her of love. He con’d talk abont the crops—the growth of the village—the inrtnstry of the young men, and all other matters which the widow did not oare to hear about, bnt the “one thing" which would have struck her ear as the sweetest of sounds, he never mentioned. On the evening in question iho widow was ex- oossivoly annoyed by Her domestics. Hardly was Mr. Green seated when Bridget mide her ap pearance at the door. “Mrs. Smith, if it plszv yon,” arid the do mestic, “will yon look into the kitchen for a minute?” Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned, when the busby head of John, the hired man, was thrust into the door, with: ‘Mrs. Smith.” How I hate the name of Smith!” said the lady. Mr. Green’s eyes dilated torn moment—he opened his month tni exclaimed in harried so- oents: “Make it Green, ma’am—make It Green!” And in less than a month there was no ’Widow Smith" in onr village. A Scene at the Grand Central Hotel, New Torit. New York oorreepondence.] No one who has visited Europe will fail lo appreciate ths following: A prominent Boston gentleman, a proprietor of ooe of the leading Boston dailies, had just arrived in the steamer from Europe, and met with a New York friend, while registering his name in the exchange of the Grand Central Hotel. The New Yorker evidently expects to hear the nsusl glowing tale of those freeh from the tour, and begins thus: “Hsllo, Charley! Glad to see you back! How-d'yon enjoy yonraelf, old fellow? Have a good time ?" “Good time.” grumbled Char ley. ‘Tn no glad to get back, I can't tell! I've had nothing U e;‘ sinoe I'va been away. Prunes and lour wine going, and prunes and sear wine ooming. Sick no a dog, at that! Lon don-bloody beef and oold mutton, ale and fog. Faria—sour winea and fancy crumbs. Ger many, etc.—bitter beer, soar wine and Heaven knows what in the dishes. Taverns—candles, and paid service everywhere. Not a first olasa sentiNe hotel like thie anywhere, to say nothing of the prioe. Thank the Lord I'm home again.” “Bat tbe steamer! the ocean?" suggeeted Charley's friend. “Let’s go np stairs snd get something to eat.” And they disappeared in the elevator to ths evident amusement, not to ly gratification, of mine host Powers snd a number of other gentlemen who bad thus heard European sad American hotels so summarily ami truthfully criticised and the Grand Central “brought to the front” in such few words.

In a recently published French book, written by several celebrated authors, and sold for the benefit of the poor in A'stoe-Lorraine, is the following story by M. Ernest Ligouve: “A lady of Strasbourg had, since the late war, two Prussian (fillers of the army of occnpation quartered at her house. These g intlemen made themselves very mnoh at home, bat complained bitterly that they were not invited by their hostess to her private parlor, and particnlarly that they were not admitted to her reoeptions. Tbe next day they received an invitation. They entered punctually at eight o’oloek in the even ing. The parlor was dimly lighted by one sin gle lamp, and ten ladies dressed in deep monrn ing were seated In the apartment. ‘The mistress of the house seeing them en ter, rose to meet them, and leading them to the first of these ladies, presented them with these words: “ ‘Mv daughter, whose hnsband was killed daring the late siege.” “The Prussians turned pale. SUo led them to tbe second lady. “ ‘My sister, who lost her son at Froeach- weller.’ “The Prussians looked embarrassed. She led them to the third. “ ‘Madame Spindles, whoso brother was shot as a sharp-shooter.’" “The two Prussians shuddered. She led them to the fourth. “ ‘Madame Brown, who saw her old mother murdered by the Uhlans.’ “The officers recoiled. She led them to the fifth. “ ‘Madame Conlmann, who—’ ‘But the PrassianB conld endure no more— stammering and confuted, they bowed and withdrew preoipitatefy, as if they felt suffooated by the crape of the mourning garments around them like a shroud. “It was as if Nathan fled before the ansthma of Jaoob.” ThePablob Match—There wax an elderly lady from Sogtr Hollow trading in Cobbet’s store. Nelson street, Saturday. She had been looking at the coffee and sugars, and was ex amining some hair-pins by biting them to see if they were genuine, when she stepped on a porlor-match which was lying on thefljor. Tbe explosion that followed so startled her that she jumped to one side, and so doing strnck against a barrel of ax helves and overturned them, lost her balance, sought to save herself by clntohing the show-case, but was too late, and went down with the ax-helves, drawing a badly demoralized show-ease on top of her, and nearly choking herself to death with a half swallowed hair-pin. On Monday the agent for parlor matches called on Mr. O-bbett tosbow his goods, and was imme diately pounced npon by that individual, who, after km eking him down, dragged him ont on the walk, acd held him while the clerk warmed him with an ax-helve, and Mrs. Gibbet ponred water on his waistband.
