SERMON TO YOUNG MEN.-Rev. Chas.
Manley, D. D., pastor Of the Baptist
Church, in this city, delivered from his
pulpit, on last Sabbath night, a most in
structive and impressive discourse to young
men from the text: Remember not the
sins of my YOUTH which is found in the
Psalms, 18th chap, 18th verse. This was
the first Of series Of sermons which the
citizens of Stanton may expect to hear
during the winter from the pastors Of the
different Christian denominations, ad-
dressed particularly to young men. These
discourses are arranged at the instance of
the 7. NJ. G. A., and it is hoped that the
young men Of our city and vicinity, for
whose benefit they are designed, will at
tend in large numbers. On the occasion
alluded to DR.. Manley addressed very
large audience (the body of the house be,
ing crowded to its full capacity and many
in the galleries), who manifested their in
terest in the subject and their appreciation
of the reverend gentleman's remarks by an
earnest and fixed attention throughout its
entire delivery.
The next sermon in course will be duly
announced. The Association has every
reason to be encouraged with the success
OF these initiatory services.

A WOODEN WEDDING.-A large num-
Der of the friends of Capt. VIM. l.. Bum
gardner and lady, met at their residence
last Wednesday night to celebrate the 9Th
anniversary Of their marriage, which took
place on the 25th October, 1871. The bride
looked charmingly in her white dress and
bridal veil. The groom was magnificent in
his wedding suit and the children as
pretty and interesting as any bridal couple
would wish to have. The table groaned
with delicacies-wit and humor flowed, and
all went merry as tie marriage bells five
years ago.
The guests came bearing gifts" and
when all had arrived and nearly $50 wooden
tokens had been deposited on the table, a
curious as well as a pretty sight was pre-
scented, consisting of almost every article of
WI cd necessary or ornamental that could lie
found in house-keeper'S vocabulary, the
examination of which furnished pleasant
variety to the entertainment, and was the
fruitful source of many a merry jest and
hearty laugh. The company dispersed at
late hour, well pleased with this bright
episode in the dull routine of busy life, and
wishing their kind entertainers many hap
py returns of the day.

lis of Richmond, for a s'Virginia State
Directory" in connection with every city
and town Of Importance, including Staun-
ton, in the State. It will be truly valu-
able work for business men all over Vir

to patronize the undertaking, and not let
the merchants Of other cities get ahead of
