MORRISTOWN.

The marriage of Mr.. J. Graham OF
Washington, Iowa, to Miss Bell Davis,
of Morristown, has been almost as great
an event in the social circle of Morris
town, as the Fitch-Sherman wedding
was in Washington City. And we
doubt not, that the beauty of the bride
and wealth of the bridegroom would
compare favorabiy with the city pair.
Rev. Wright, Miss Matte Fields, Mr..
John Gloves and vie, were the honor
ed few chosen to accompany them to
" heeling, and witness the marriage
ceremony which was performed at the
Mcclure House. The officiating clergy
man received for his service one hun
dred dollars. The happy couple have
returned from their wedding tour and
are at present visiting friends in Nor
ristown and vicinity.
Another marriage more quiet and
unpretending, but none the less happy,
took place on last Thursday. The
parties were Mr.. d. Ewing and Miss
Bell. Rev. Bold, Pastor of ihe Baptist
Church, officiated.
Rev. Pringle is absent from town,
consequently no preaching in the Pres
byterian Church on last Sabbath.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson, of Monmouth,
Illinois, are visiting their daughter,
Mrs. James Taggart. ~.
The we'll belonging to the mill was
cleaned out IL few days ago and in it
was found saddle, supposed to be the
one that was taken some time ago from
one of the churches during evening
service. The crow-bar that has been
missing since Mr.. Steger's store was
broken open, was also found in the
we'll. .47as a-Eg ..a ..g
Our streets in some parts of the town
have been completely cleaned and the
dirt hauled away. .....
We are glad to know that some of
the ladies belonging to the Temperance
League are still interested in the work,
and anxious to hold meetings, there be-
ing unmistakable and sad evidence that
liquor is to be had in this community.
Rouse to effort and cease not to work
until stop is put to this vile traffic.

SOMERTON.

Mr.. George Crane and family have
returned from the East, having had an
enjoyable visit. They bring with them
to spend the winter here, Miss Sallie
Skinner, neice of Mr.. Crane.
Mr.. NJ. p. Mills and wife are also
home again from their visit to Balti-
more.
Our schools opened on the 18th, for
the winter term, with Prof. d. W.
Shields, of Bellaire, Principal. There
is an enrolment in both rooms ofsome-
thing over so pupils.
Mr.. Isaac Shotwell was elected Su-
perintendent of Sabbath School in place
of Mr.. l.. Palmer, who declined the
place. e
We believe Literary Society is to
be organized soon. This is a move in
the right direction for the improve
.ment OF our young ladies and gentle
men, as well as the older ones who
take part with us.
The exceedingly beautiful autumn
weather affords an excellent time for
visiting and buggy rides, as many of
cur people, old and young, can testify.
The farmers too are making use of it to
nave all things in readiness for the
winter storms. o RUSTIC.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.

This township comprises quite scope
of country, having nine school districts
which are supplied with pretty good
school-houses. Few of them are put up
in the latest style, and Others are more
ancient in structure. Several of the
winter schools are in session. Mr..
Kelsey is teaching in district No. 2, and
We learn that he is giving universal
satisfaction. The school in No. will
open the first Monday in NOvem Der,
Mr.. j. a. Lindsey, teacher. We believe
that this will be his first attempt. May
success crown his effort. Mr.. Hart will
teach in No. s. He is young man of
considerable experience and adds much
to the interest of the school by his sing
ing ability. iaii, } ...it-7.i
There are four churches, two Disciple

81. Nicholas offers a greater variety
than Usual. Among the stories there
Is the opening of 'Tchumpin,' stirring
Russian tale, by @. A. Stephens; 'Trol-
ty' story, by Miss Elizabeth S. Phelps;
"A Half-Dozen Young Rascals,' story
of Bunker Hill; THE Hidden Treasure
ii tale of pirate life i'm Florida, by s. w,
G. Benjamin; and an interesting Ghost
Story. Then there are practical articles,
such as The Transit of Venus;' How
the Cars Stopped;' Venus of Milo;'
Legends and SuperstitiOns,' by n. S.
ID dye; and an article on the cOnstruc-
ton of East India Toys. There are
poems by DIR. j. g. Holland, Anna G..
Brackett, Mary f. Bradley, and Mary
Mapes Dodge. The illustrations this
month deserve special commendatiOn.
w. l.. Sheppard has spirited frontis-
piece, and several smaller pictures. Sol
Etynge, Jr., contributes two capital
pictures, and Granville Perkins has IA
beautiful view of Florida Bayou. Then
there are comic pictures by Frank
Beard and Master Frederick Chapman.
We have all sorts of curious stories,
from 'Jack-in-thePulpit,' and the Let
ter-BOx and the Riddle-BoX crammed
full of interesting and puzzling matter.
Then Mr.. Bartlett has turned Mrs.
Dodge's popular Miss Maloney on the
Chinese Question: into an acting cha
rade, and there are three full pages for
the Very Little Ones What more
could anybody want?
TIE Aidine for NOvem ber comes to
us richly freighted with art and literary
treasures, something after the manner
of one of the argosie5 of old, that made
periodical returns from distant lands,
bringing the most valuable things that
could be seized i'm all. Artistically, the
place of honor is held by an exquisite
picture called "Dinner-Time, after the
German Knaus, showing dark-haired
Gretchen feeding her ducks, and equal
ly commanding respect in the charm
ing rural subject, in the management
of details in the original picture, and
i'm the keen and elaborate engraving.
Another full page picture is "Rescues
at Sea-" a terribly striking representa-
ton Of the White Star steamer Baltic
taking off the passengers of the wreck
ed ship Assyria, in the fall of 1872.
Quite material change is evident in
the literary management of the Aidi7e,
under what we must suppose the new
editorial charge; and undoubtedly
strength il added, without any appar-
ent deficiency in grace and delicacy.
Taken all i'm all, The Atdhle presents a
noble number for November. that must
command attention In the literary and
artistic worlds.

PROBABLE MURDER NEAR
... MI. PLEASANT.
a Woman at the Bottom of it.

We clip the following from the
Wheeling Standard of Monday:
The town of Martins Ferry was con-
siderabIy excited this morning by the
news that murder had been commit
ted near Mt. Pleasant, about eight
miles from Martins Ferry. Joseph
McKim, Jr.. and young man by the
name of Wates, who is a Virginian,
and recently came to the place, had
becu waiting on young lady, whose
name we did not learn. On yesterday
morning Wates approached McKim,
who was sitting with some friends by
the roadside, and commenced abusing
him, telling him if she ever went with
the girl again, he (Wates) would send
him to hell" An angry alteration
ensued that finally resulted in blows,
and will probably prove Yates death,
if he is not ALREADY dead, the physician
who left him this morning at ten
O'Clock stating that he did not think it
possible for Wates to live longer than a
couple of hours. The particulars we
have of the affair are very meagre, but
it appears from what we can gather
thai Mckim beat WateS with club or
billy until he became insensible.
McKim was arrested and brought to
Martins Ferry 10 day, where he had a
preliminary eXa.ninatiOn before Squire
EaglesOn, who held him in $1,000 for
his appearance before court, his father
furnishing the bail.

There is a marked ard violent change,
it will be noticed, in the delegations to
the 31th, 3Sth and 39th Congresses, and
decided changes in the 4Dtn and 43d
Congresses, inclusive. The results of
the present elections viii contribute to
the number OF fluctuations rather than
to the Democratic assumption that
their strength is increasing and that of
the Republicans diminishing.
The Democrats are welcome TO all
the comfort they can extract from their
victories. Ii results only in making
them extravagant in speech and reck-
less in conduct, and SO insures their
subjection to Republican majorities
again. They already begin to talk of
cOnvulsing the commercial interests of
the country bydestroying the national
banking system, and introducing Wild
cat banking. They will iajure the
credit of tee country by their schemes
of repudiation and their war against
the financial stability of the nation.
But after doing all possible harm, they
will be put under asl!a, and will Won
der what hiss Jeeunie of their grand
victories, AID the expected overthrow
'Of their opponents.

~ THE LUNAR ECLIPSE. E
The Earth OvershadOwfng the
.+L Moon. go

The eclipse came off on Saturday
Light exactly according to the pro-
gramme. 1t was beautiful night; viii
lage and country was in state of Sc
rene calmness; old Luna came up
grandly for the performance of the eve
ming. Full, richly gorgeous, like a
highly FURNISHED copper shield it rose
above the eastern horizon, and slowly
essayed the canopy until it reached the
zenith, where the supreme act trans
pired. The first encroachment of the
shadow upon the moons disc was per-
ceptible at ten minutes past u o'clock.
1t was a grand sight. Pale Cynthia
never wore more serene aspect; she
appeared like a great pearl hung in
ether. The stars paled i'm her presence,
as if willing that she should outshine
them all in splendor before the dull
earth flung its dark shadow across he,
sweetly radiant face.
The total eclipse occurred st IS min
utes past one O'Clock Sunday morning.
Amid the darkness produced, the stars
shone out brightly, and the moon pre-
sented the appearance of dimly light.
ed balloon at great distance in the
heavens. The last appearance of the
shadow was at 8 o'clock and 15 min
utes; the stars gradually paled in her
presence, and the glorious old orb :
charming queen of the night-resum-
ed her rule of the season.
The eclipse in its different stages oc-
cupied about three hours; it was total
for about half an hour.
Lunar eclipses are of regular occur
renee every eighteen years and eleven
days. 1t will be remembered than an
eclipse of the moon occurred in Octo-
Der, 1856, but it was not quite total, the
moons edge being about one five hum
dredth part ofits diameter outside of
the shadow. AS explanatory of the
phenomenon, we quote the following:
Any one may obtain correct idea
of the movement of the phenomena by
simply drawing large circle to repre-
sent the earth on sheet Of paper, and
