The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1876-03-15
On motion, adjourned.

EB Week before last, the very unusual oc-
currence of the marriage of twin sisters at
the same time, took place in Philadelphia, one
of the bridegrcoms being Stacy B. Bray
Esq, of this city. The rarity ofsuch scene
has led to remarks by the Phila. papers, from
one of which-the Sunday World-we copy
the following, which, we think, will be read
with interest -
6 To silence an atheist it is necessary only
to ask him why it is that God planted anthra-
cite only in regions of frost-in other words,
to intcrrogate him as to why it is that, wber-
ever the dripping rain makes icicles, III
sends pots of fire To keep it company. Orr e.
dozen of fancifnl portraits from an artist,
and bv the time he has reached the twelfth,
his versatility in producing them will have
been exhausted. Elevate either above a
whisper or melodise it beyond growl, and
no two human voices are alike. No two
faces either are exactly the counterpart of
each other. The approximation is sometimes
close. Each of twins in country school in
New Jersey were found to have been 50 per-
sonating the other that when one was UMPIRE
pared for recitation the other took her place
in the class without detection of identity. In
parish school in Islngton, England, it was
found that boy had frequently submitted to
the fiagellation intended for lis twin brother,
upon whom the lad, who was his teacher
supposed she was inIlcting it. Our Univer-
saist Brother Rev. b. f. Bowles, solemnized
the marriages of twin sisters, last week,
whose personal resemblance was so close, that
after the termination of the ceremony, kisses
of affection intended for the one were uncon-
sciously impressed upon the equally rosy and
pouting lips of the other. simultaneously
at his residence on that day, with twin daugh-
tiers Mr.. Edward 4. Warner parted. What
hxyn ~, IL
to some other mans daughter was done
to him. 1t was the old, old story, the course
of nature-God's holy ordinance of wedlock.
Ms A. Libbie Warner welded Mr.. Stacy Is.
Bray, Of Lambertville. Her sister, Miss Ad-
die, in the silken letters of Hymen, was with
Mr.. William T. Buchanan united. The sur
roundings of the occasion were extremely
pretty. In doing up wedding Rev. Brother
Bowles is hard to excel. How many more of
the couples who witnessed the short but ser-
GUS service that he then solemnzed will follow
the example of these two, time alone will tell. "
Ey In Kingwood Township, about one
mile south of Kingwood Post Office, is pl,ce
where the young idea is taught to shoot,
known by the name of SCOTS School House.
Mr.. Asher Carroll has been teaching at that
place this winter, and having some other bust
ness that he wished to attend to last week,
he engaged his sister Maggie (who is also a
teachery to take charge of the school. On
Wednesday she sent an unruly boy home.
! The Trustees were informed of this, and on
Thursday morning they visited the school and
attempted to dismiss it for the present. Miss
Carroll stated that she expected to remain
there until four o clock and those of the schol-
IS who wished to remain with her would be
! taught the same as usual. They then inform
ed her that she should not receive anything
for her services and that they desired to have
the paddock. that they might close up the
house. She stated that the lock was in her
possession, and she would teach the school
until the usual hour for it to close in the af-
.rnoon. The Trustees then decided to stay
| in the school until she left it. She promptly
offered each Testament and primer, say
| ing that she allowed no one to be idle in a
school that she kept, and that if they stud
there they must study one of the two books.
They hesitatingly took the Testament and ST.
lentiy sat meditating as to what they had
best do, as they had been thanked in every
| movement TO get her out and close up the
house. They finally arose and decltred that
they couldn't stand it any longer, and went
off, leaving her mistress of the situation and
/ the heroine of the day.-Independent
