Weddiny Etiquette.

Some important changes have
recently been made in we'd
ding etiquette. The card in-
vitations should be issued three
weeks before the marriage, and
should be provided by the
brides parents. Brides.expec-
tant should entirely seclude
themselves after the cards are
issued. At large receptions
each guest should leave his or
her visiting card; so that the
hostess may be present. There
should be four bridesmaids and
groomsmen present at we'd
ding. Congratulations are out
Of place in church, and should
lie reserved for the reception.
The display of bridal presents
is going out Of fashion among
people of taste. When the col
Iation is announced, the bride
and groom lead the way to the
dining-room. The brides cake
is in the centre Of the table, and
the bride cuts the first Slice
The reception lasts during the
afternoon, and is sometimes fol-
lowed by q dance in the even
ing. If the bridal party go on
a tour, their departure is usual
the signal for the guests to dis
perse, The old superstition of
throwing an old shoe after the
happy pair, to insure good luck,
is faithfully observed.

The Wecd.

The enemies Of tobacco may
possibly find a cause for alarm
in the fact that the merits of
the filthy weed are being rec
ognized in a new quarter, name
ly, as bedding for animals and
as manure. The stems refuse
from cigar factories, when used
as bedding, are said to be very
affective in dispelling the YER
min that infest stables, hen
houses, etc., and rotting quite
it is soon turned into
manure Of an excellent quality,
1t is especially adapted to fruit
trees, as it still retains the prop
critics that are so obnoxious to
vermin. 1t is also rich in fer.
tilizing power for rs in grow
ing it takes from the soil a
large amount of potash, so does
it restore this to The soil upon
its decay. The storage Of the
plant in buildings occupied or
fi'equented by animals is sup
posed to be beneficial to them.

that l emphatically denyfor myself,
and for all the members ofmy fami-

or any knowledge oft, Except that

who insinuate that |, or any mem
Der of my household, had anything
to do with, or any knowledge Of,

inquest, will take proper steps for
an investigation, or wiIlmake their
statements in a manly and fair way,
so that | can obtain, through the
Courts, an investigation, they will
oblige me. If they have not the
manIiness to do this, and do not wish

To Fra OWt Lard.

For fiftypounds Of lard make
two quarts of white lye, and
pour it into the kettle in which
you are to fry the lard; then
cut up the leaf lard and put it
into the lye, and let it cook all
day over a slow fire. The lye
completely disolves the lard, SO
there are no scraps to strain
and squeeze-only q brown
sediment at the bottom, and a
similar scum on the top; re-
move these and the lard is kept
for any length Of time without
becoming rancid.

is the largest religious paper

the very best paper published
in the world that advocates

about r. columns Of reading

which is fit to be read in all
families and by all persons; but
we do not like many things
therein published.
The publisher has been kind
enough to send US a compli.
number, and asks Of
us a notice; and we have given
it such a one as we think it de-
serves, and wish the publisher
to send it to us in exchange du-
ring the year. A year ago we

it wasn't received.

lature met and organized on
Monday, Jan, 3, by the election
of Republican and Demo
cratic oficers-the Senate with
a Republican Clerk and Demo
cratic Sergeant-at. Arms-the
House with a Democratic Clerk
and an equal division of other
officers.
In the Senate, E. T. Hall,
Republican, was elected Clerk;
R. T. Hurlbnrt, Democrat, was
elected First Assistant Clerk;
Judge G. W, johnson, Conser'
vative Republican, of Jackson,
was elected Second Assistant
Clerk; B. P. Churchill, Demo-
crat, who was our candidate
last October for member of
Board Of Public Works, was
elected Sergeant-at-Arms.
In the House, A, J. Cunning
ham, one of the Hamilton
County Reformers, "a Republi-
can) was elected Speaker; and
Amos Layman, Democrat, was
elected Chief Clerk.
The Senate, by the ruling of
its presiding officer, gave the
seat of Mr., Russell, deceased, to
Mr.. Howard, who was elected
before the term of Mr.. Russell,
as Senator, commenced.
The very first bill introduced
in the Senate, was by H. G.
Jones, from this district, which
was to repeal an act relating to
the inspection of steam boilers

to "run the thing by steam"

NEW PoST OTFIcE.-A
Post Office has been establish
ed in Swan Township called
siverly, and Samuel S Albin
has been appointed Postmaster
This Post Office is located at
the residence of Mr., AIbin, near
G. A. Colds store, and about
three miles northwest from the
old Elk P. 0. stand. The Of
fee was established through
the exprtion of Capt. John
Witherspoon-even after Sen
ator II. C. Jones had failed in
making the rulers at Washing
ton hear OF notice his prayer
for the establishment of a post
office in the vicinity aforesaid
As Mr.. Jones FUSED up" q
greater part of two years in
urging the P. O. Department
to establish this office, and
Capt. Witherspoon succeeded
in gettingit established and a
postmaster appointed within
two months, it would, perhaps,
be much betterfor Jones to re-
turn from the Ohio Senate and
let Capt. Witherspoon fill that
position. Capt. Witherspoon
would make a true and pure
representative of the laboringl
and poor classes of this county
and would see that they had
the relief they are now entitled
to. Prompt men are now want
I'd in important official posi-
tons. A few more post offices
are sadly needed in this coun
ty, and we wish such men as
Capt. W. could he found where
each one is needed.
We know of a number OF
places on Big Raccoon that
need post Offices. Thousands
of people would be accomoda'
ted if the P, o. Department
would establish offices at the
points where they are
needed-one at Aiken's Mills,
and one at Packard's Mills
he established forthwith.
