"Ata peasants wedding, when tho process

church, thcFendArme approached the bride
and summoned her Immediately to divost her

she had in her dress, according TO thc'custom
of the country girls, saying that these colors
were revolutionary. The bridegroom object

would comply with the desir9of the gcndarme
but that now they could not keep the priest

the procession proceeded TO the church but
at the moment when the bride was kneeling

From the Richmond Republican.

The Presidents H.xcursl0n TO virginia.
Some of the Democratic journals continue to be
sorely exercised on the subject of the Presidents
travels. They will have 1t that he visits Virginia
for the purpose of making political capital, and not
for recreation from the arduous duties OF his Office
We give the President credit for better motives.
We beg to know if Democratic Presidents never
travelled, and whether their object wls political
capital? Recreation is necessary to all men who
lead laborious life, and there s no life more abo-
rio us than that Of President Of the United States.
Mr.. FILLMORE has certainly shown, by his manly
and Independent course in the Presidency, that he
is not one of those who will soop TO unworthy acts
for the requirement of power. Instead OF finding
fault we regard it as matter of congratuaton
that the fame of the White Sulphur has attracted
the President, and hope that his example of visit
ing a southern spring may be followed by thou
sands of our northern brethren. The fact is, that
the South abounds in fountains Of healh--physi-
cal, moral, social, and politcaEand nothing is
better for the constitution of or of nation,
than an occasional Virginia airing. AS to the al
legged necessity that the President should be of
Washington in order to keep Cuba from dropping
out of the hands of Spain, regard that all
mooushine, and have no doubt that the fault find
ers, if there any danger of such q thing,
would rather he were out of the way. 1t is pref
ty business that the "Fillibustfros should be al
lowed to go their travels, and peaceable people
be compelled to stay at home. We congratulate
the critics that scrupulous and sensitive regard
for national reputation which makes them anxious
that Mr.. FILLMORE should shut himself up in his
house and bar the doors lest Spain should suspect
him of having something to do with the attempt to
commit burglary upon her premises.

Fruits of tho Tariff of 1916.

We see in the last Clarion Register very beau
tfu commentary on the free-trade tariff of 1916.
1t is to be found in the advertisement of "John
Klingelsnith, sheriff. and successor of Seth Clo-
yer, of no less than ,iG furnaces, ALL advertised to
be sold at tho court- house in the borough of Cla-
rion on Monday, the Ist day of September next"
We do not know the years i'll which Seth Clover
was sheriff, or how many he may have brought to
the hammer. We only know that he and his par
ty have brought them all. We know that up to
1912 good many were in existcnce-that from
1912 to 1916 great number of ones were
built, and not one sold by the sheriffthat during
this time they went on prospecting and to prosper
that from this last date not one new one has been
built--and that now, at every term of the county
court they advertised for sale by the half dozen,
as property no longer in request or of value suf-
cient to support themselves or owners.
IL 10 possible that the owners of some of these
have been in fault--that they commenced on too
small capital, in most instances partly on credit
Are the Locofocos prepared to denounce this as a
crime? Must none engage ina business of improve
ment and enterprise but the rich? Those who have
been fortunate or cunning enough to have amassed
vast surplus capitals TO sustain them in reversas,
and the activc the intelligent, and enterprsing TO
act as but their servants and hirengs9
Illuminating il is, this is the dogma of the De-
mocratic leaders This is their democracy II is
the doctrine proclaimed by their acts, though all
their words different. They tell you that every
man, rich, half rich, or poor has the door open for
him to engage in works of enterprise; but their
course Of policy laid down and carried out is such,
that ruin Is inevitable, il he but raises the arm TO
build or better his condition. This is confined to
the rich, who, ii needs be, sustain loss TO keep
down the competition such rival establishments in
his vicinity will create interfering pjurousy with
the prices he is giving for labor, grain, and other
supplies, me product of the neighborhood This is
emphatically and VIGOROUSLY the now in Cla-
rion county-none but the large capitalists have

THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the

to construct on this turnpike Plank Road running
from the city boundary on Seventh street to the line
of the District and Montgomery county, Mary land,
and for that purpose will issue stock to the
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of t,peafy
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same
Books now open at office for the purpose
Fue dollars each share is to be paid at the time
Of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such n road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent to all conversant with lite stuat There
ia but little doubt that eimilar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening a direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the tyans-
portation Of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
iDhere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends to the stockholders, besides improving
the value OF property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
considerable portion Of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied to share of stock for every tico shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates The new road will pro-
ready for travel. The cost will be less than S 49,
900. II is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than five per cent the first year after it is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.
