LOafers at Church DOOrs.-An exchange
truly remarks that some young men act
as if churches were sort of public prop
erty, y,where they can do as they please with
out regard to the feelings of the congrega-
tion assembled, or to the rights and author
ity of the church officials. 1t is not an un-
common thing for them to assemble in the
yard in front of the church, and smoke and
talk loud, and otherwise annoy ladies and
gentlemen passing in or out, and when re-
monstrated with, for them to retreat to the
sidewalk, and maintain that the church
officers have no authority to prevent them
from stopping there. Now and then
church officers are obliged to appeal to the
law in order to enforce lesson of good
order and gentlemanly breeding upon such
persons. In that event the offender pays
at the rate of $40 per lesson, besides the
incidentals," and cheap lesson it is for
one whose early educated has beon SO much
neglected as to render him ignorant of the
fact chat gentlemen never lounge around
church doors. In ancient times the sexes
occupied opposite sides Of the church and
there was some excuse for waiting at the
church door after the service that families
and friends might get together, but that
custom was changed many years ago, and
in respectable society when young gentle.
men accompany ladies to church they sit
in the same pew with them and they come
out together. 1t is understood, as rule,
that the young men who crowd around the
doors of churches and places of amusement
have no other business there than to stare
at the ladies, and to annoy them by making
scurrilous remarks and crowding the path
way.
The proprietors of all respectable places
of amusement in the cities have police ar
rangements for protecting those who FIRE
quent their places. Why should it not be
the duty of church officials to make simi
lar provision for keeping their door-wayt
clear of idlers and loafers? The church
that does not do so ought to lose the sup
ptr; of all well bred people.

Burned to a Crisp.-Tho Altoona II

Burned TO Crisp.-The Altoona 1Ti.
bune says
One of the most melancholy accidents il
has ever been our duty to record, occurred
in the " Loop" this county, Wednesday
morning last. Two members of the
Wentz family, a brother and sister, have
been insane for a number of years, during
all of which time they have been confined
in low shanty in close proximity to the
residence Of the balance of the family, as it
was considered dangerous to permit them
to run at large. AS DR.. Rohrer and r. A..
Bonine, ESD, of Hollidaysburg, werO re-
turning home from hunting expedition,
they discovered smoke and flame issuing
from the roof and window of the shanty
in question. The alarm was Immediately
sounded and the two gentlemen named
rushed to the burning building with all
possible haste, but it was too late to render
any assistance to the unfortunate insane
creatures inside, consequently they were
burned to a crisp although it is general
supposition that both were .smothered to
death some time ere the flames reached
them. DIR. Rohrer, AYERS that it was the
worst sight that ever met his view. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.

Christian Forrer, Of Carroll twp, met with
an accident, and had fortunate escape
from q more serious one. While going
down the hill near Mr.. Lackey's, he at

To be Observation-Disclosures should
remember that publisher sends out hun
dreds of papers to as many separate in
dividuals widely scattered and has no
means of knowing whether the papers are
received, or when or where subscribers
move except as they notify him. Remem-
ber, too, that at the price papers are fur
nished, the publisher cannot afford to
spend much time or write many letters to
each subscriber. The law therefore wise
ly makes man to whom it is sent respon-
sible until arrearages are paid and the pa
per stopped. The return of a paper by the
P. NJ. unpaid is not enough.

Married on Railway Train.-A Pitt.

AAhAthOu Oh heuAWoy AAhihs--A IlIbo-
burg paper of Monday last says Yes
terday an unusual event transpired on the
eastern bound passenger train, on the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad. Among
the passengers was the Rev. T. J. Ken
nedy, United Presbyterian Minister of
Steubenville. There were also two other
persons, who, in the opinion of the conduc-
tor, Mr.. Jenkins, might be made happy on
receiving few words Of consolation from
the reverend gentleman. The conductor
unwilling TO permit an opportunity to do a
good turn to slip by unimproved, informed
his clerical friend that lady and gentle
man, passengers in the rear car, wished to
see him. Mr.. Kennedy was escorted back,
and on being introduced to the couple was
asked by the gentleman whether he had
any objection to marrying them then and
there. The minister replied that he had
not, provided they were both competent to
enter iato the sacred relation. Being as
sured on this point, he requested the couple
to stand up, and the ceremony was then
and there performed--the train running at
a speed of thirty miles an hour between
Beaver and Rochester. The groom was
Mr.. 8. ]. Holmes, of East Liberty, and the
bride Miss Melinda Conner, Of Carroll
county, Ohio.
