United al Last.

THERE was a somewhat venerable but
very happy couple in the city Saturday,
on their wedding trip, though the casual
observer would hardly have suspected
the latter fact They left on the Lansing
train at three O'Clock for their home in
Washtenaw County. The incidents which
led to the union of this couple so late in
life were somewhat extraordinary and
not altogether without halo of romance.
1t seems that the old gent 3man, Deacon
Joseph Place, who is Low upward of
seventy years of age, took it into his
head last fall to 60 on short visit to the
home of his childhood, in New Hamp-
shire. He had been for some years a
widower, and his children have arrived
at mans and woman's estate, and gone
out to seek their own fortunes in the
world. AS he had more property than
he was likely to spend in the short rem
nant of his life which remained, and as
he had plenty of leisure on his hands,
nothing was more natural than that he
should break the monotony of his life
with a little pleasure trip. So he set out
for New England.
AS fortune would have it, before he
had quite reached the place of his dest
nation, slight accident happened to
train, by which it was delayed an no
or so. The deacon got out of the ca
and looked about, and the hills and
rocks which had been strangers to hi
eyes for so many years almost renewe
his youth. AS the train was liable to
detained for some little time he wandere
to house near by. Judge of the OLE
mans surprise to find that the lady of
the house was one whom he knew
in early life. Indeed, when both
were young they had felt a regard
for each other differing quite materially
from the regard which they felt for
other people. But the fates, and tt
fates only do this cruel work, separate
them, and they had long since lost trac
and almost recollection, of each OF
However, recognition was mutual, ant
is pretty certain that Deacon Place va
glad to see the lady, and that the lad

travelled a long way down life's journey
since they had parted, and both had lost
their consorts. What more natural than
that they should talk over old times
And speaking of these things, the scenes
and incidents of early life rose vividlv
before them; and what more nature.
than that there should spring from this
revival the old love, kindled anew, and
that it should burn into bright fame
Such was the case. Ali this did
transpire at the single visit, but the ola
man fingered in the neighborh0od, and
it soon became apparent that the lady
was the strong attraction which drew
him thither. The result was that, be-
fore the Deacon returned to his Michigan
home, they plighted their troth anew,
and the old man came back happy as a
lark, and thanking Providence for the
railroad accident, which gave him a new
lease of life and life's joys. After few
months he went back to claim his bride.
the happy event was consummated
on Saturday the venerable couple pa

The number of re-enlistments during
the last year has been /, 400 more than
during the previous fiscal year. During
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874, there
were $500 less assertions than during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1878. A
little of this reduction is due to the dim
mutton of the number of enlisted men,
but it is fair to presume that a large
share of it is owing to the increasing
contentment with the service by the full
operation Of the acts of May Is, 1872,
for gradual increase of pay and for sol
diers' deposits.
The Paymaster-General recommends
to favorable consideration an annuity
scheme for officers of the army, first
presented by Gen. J. B. Fry, of the
Adjutant- Generals Department. Under
it, officers could, by making certain
monthly deductions from their pay secure
to their widows, heirs, or nominees a
monthly annuity which will commence on
the death of the officer. 1t is contem-
plated that the operation shall in the end
be safe one for the Government, and
shall involve no loss to the Treasury 1t
cOntemplates that the War Department
shall have power to prescribe from time
to time the rules and tables to be en-
ployed in the execution of the plan.
The average annual mortality of
officers of the United States army dur
ing the last fifty years Including deaths
in wary has been 24.1 per 1000.

Christians take Notice.

l On Friday and Saturday tn, 29th and 30th Oct, 1875, the rep resentatives of the different con gregations of the church Of Christ in Pope, Conway, Yell, Johnson and Sarber counties, Arkansas assembled in Russellyille, Ark. to transact such business a. might be deemed requisite, to in sure the success of the Gospel o Christ in Western Arkansas. l. Elders w. D. Keltner, J. B Dalton, A. T. Foster, w. K. Me Bride, c. P. Kelley, $. K. Ethridge A. J. Wiley, o. K. Posev, ant Joe Waldrop agreed to labor .. evangelists during the year 1876 Each county was then declared tc be an evangelical district.
 }. The preaching license ol one Joseph McGee, formerly oi Yellville, Ark, were revoked, and the fraternity withdrew christian fellowship from him; and elders c. F. Kelley and c. c. Mueller, were appointed to wait on him, and demand his license. This was done because of his immoral conduct while at Yellville.
 3. License to preach the gospel of Christ, were granted to James $. Quinn, NJ. D., of Yell county, Ark.
 f. A rehearsal of the troubles existing among some of the Chris tian brethren, relative to the re- port that one $. R. Ethridge, of Springfield, Conway county, Ark, had left the church of Christ and gone into adventism, was brought before the assembly for consider ation; and after a careful hearing it was decided that S. R. Eth. ridge had been misreprescnted, and that he be henceforth recog. nized as a worthy preacher of the gospel Of Christ.
 ,. No action was taken on financial matters; but the propri- ety of establishing religious pc riodical in the interests of the church of Christ in Western Ar kansas, was freely discussed, and laid over.
 The secretary was ordered to furnish copy of these proceed ings for publication in the Rus sellville DEMOCRAT, Gospel Advo- cate, American Christian Review, and Apostolic Times.

County Superintendent.

To the Trustees of the several
 School District of Pope County ::
 On the first Monday in Deccm- Der, at the county seat, is the time and place prescribed by law for the election of County Super intcndent of Public Instruction. This important work is placed in the hands of the trustees of the several school districts.
 Up to the present, public schools have resulted in but little good; but the fault is not so much Tn the system as the way in which it has been managed. A system, however excellent within itself, will produce but little good unless those charged with the operations of the same do their duty. How ever little may be thought of it, you are charged with one of the most sacred trusts incumbent upon man. One not only impor tant to society at present, but one necessarily, doubly important to the rising generation the dis charge of which has a direct bear ing. and mighty influence upon their future welfare. Every trus- tee should be a live workin. H,ai,, interested in the public good, and if the trustees should be such, cer- tainly the superintendent should be an active, intelligent person, deeply interested in the cause of education.
 Hence it is the duty of the trustees to be present at the cleo tion and see that no drone is placed in this important station, but that it be a person who will take an active interest in carry ing on the work, and I hope that each and every trustee in the county will be present at the time and place named, ready to give his voice for one suited to fill the office. Yours truly,
