report and do ample justice to each and all next

On Friday night week. about III

west Of New Kingston, Cumberland co. I,

upon reaching the house, be was sur
prlsed to tind the cellar door open and

seeing him they all made for the door,

a Russian Custom,

The ladies' in Russia are very anxious
to marry, because they have no liberty
before marriage. They are kept con-
stantly under the paternal eye until
given up to their husbands, and then
they take their own course. Almost
as soon as girl Is born, in the better
ranks of society, her parents begin to
prepare the dowry she must have when
she goes TO her husband She must
furnish every thing for an outfit in life,
even to a dozen new shirts for her com.
ing husband, The young man goes to
the house of his promised bride, and
counts over her dresses, and examines
the furniture with his own eyes before
he commits himself to the irrexocable
bargain. In high life such thing are
conducted With more apparent delicacy
but the facts are ascetained with more
apparent accuracy, the business being
in the hands of a broker or rotary.

fore the wedding day.

FROM the North american of the
22nd inst: Everybody who boards at
a hotel and every hotelkeeper is in
terested in decision rendered in the
suit of General Hancock against the
proprietors of the st. Cloud Hotel,
to recover for iewelry stolen from his
rooms. He was a boarder at the
house, with his wife and daughter,
for six months, first at the rate of
1885 a month for rooms and board.
and afterward at S265 for rooms
alone, with meals extra. The referee
decides that the property was not
such as the guest is required to de
posit in the safe of the inn-keeper,
but that the plaintiffs were there as
boarders, not as guests. They were
under an express contract to remain
for a certain length of time. and not
as guests entertained from day to
day Therefore, they were not enti-
tied to recover, because they failed to
establish the relation of guest and
inn-keeper. They were boarders and
not guests.

A rich lead of romance has been
struck at Oakland, Md. A poor far
mer lives there self exiled, self buried,
among strangers, simply because he
married his sister without knowing it.
When be was a lad Of seven, and she
lass of three, she was kidnapped, and
her parents never heard of her again,
although they expended thousands in
search of her. The heart broken mo-
ther died soon after the loss of her
darling, and the father wandered over
Europe, and finally settled in New
York, where he died. The brother
grew to manhood, and the memory of
bis lost sister was almost efaced from
his mind. In his twenty seventh year
while visiting married friend, be fell
in love with the governess Of his friends
children, beautiful glfl of abou.
twenty three, and after some months
they were married, and lived happily
for five or six years, boy and a girl
being born to them during that time.
BY the death of an uncle in San Fran
cisco the husband was left considerable
fortune, and the lawyer who conveyed
the intelligence to him, also stated that
his sisters career had been traced.
A tramp on his death bed IN st. Louis
police station confessed that he and two
companions had stolen little gIrl, for
her clothes and locket which she wore
and that she had continued with them
for several years, when her bright,
pretty face attracted the attention of
kind hearted lady IN Ohio, who adopted
her and sent her to school where she
remained till her patroness died She
then became teacher in large school
in Cincinnati. But as her health began
to fail she applied for position as gov
erness. "My Godn cried the client" !"
She has been my wife for five years"
He had married his own sister. They
divided the property and placed their
children under the roof of Q frieId, and
then separated forever.

that would far more than have suf-
feed for an army corps, and far ex-
ceeding in numbers the array that
followed Sherman in his march to the
sea; The presence of these troops
here, long after all danger had passed,
was intended as threat to our citi-
zens and a mark of contumely to the
country. Their martial achievements
under the lead of the Governor, the
Commander-in-Chief, have only their
parallel in that tremendous military
feat of the French King, who march
ed his army up the hill, and then he
marched it down again"

lose his right arm rather than endanger

the will of the people he represents IN

other men by, would lay them open to

between her home and Millersburg, on

cars, with tickets furnished to q place
called Conshohocken, about ten miles
from Philadelphia, where relatives OF
the family live.
When Mr.. Boose arrived in slillers
town from Nebraska, on Monday, the
absence of the betrothed put face on
the case that had every other look than
that of matrimony. However, after
some inquiry, the inwardness of the
absence Of the lady vas hinted at by
his friends Acting on a suggestion, he
sent an officer into Wild Cat Valley for
The man who accompanied the lady to
the Susquehanna. The threat of pros
ecutiop tor abduction unsealed the lips
of the Wild Cat Valley man, and he
told of the whereabouts Of Miss Wright,
as above stated. With the informa
tion thus obtained, Boose started Messrs.
Gilfillen and Leas, of Aillersiown, on
Tuesday morning on the way to Con-
shocken, to interrogste the lady as to
her disposition to marry or not marry.
The place was reached. and Miss
Wright found, and interrogated She
expressed herself willing and anxious
for the marriage, and at once proposed
to accompany the escott TO Millers-
town to marry Mr. Booze. A despatch
of the lady's coming was sent to her
home. How such news will stir up a
village, can Only be known to people
who have experienced village life. The
whole town was aglow with excitement,
aud when the Mifiiin Accommodation
came in at half past seren o'oleck r. NJ,
Miss Wright and her escort were greet
ed and welcomed BY hundreds of peo-
pie from the town and surrounding
heighborhood. Hearty good wishes
doubtless were manifested toward the
London and New York wedding peo
pie at the same hour, but no such ar
dent ovation was rendered them as was
gratuitously showered on the couple
that evening contemplating matrimony
in the Juniata Valley. A procession
of all the people formed on the right,
and left sides, and IN the rear of the
bridal party, and thus they we're es-
corted through the river bridge. On
the canal bridge Silas Wright joined
the moving assemblage, and attempted
rescue of bis sister, but eager hands
and stout bodies jostled him off to
side, out of reach, and he was heard
and seen no more. Some one at the
same place proceeded to deliver a proc
lamation, and read the riot act, but a
hint at bath in the canal brought the
delivery to sudden end, and the pro-
cession moved on to the house of Henry
Martin, wheIe few preliminaries were
arranged, after which the contracting
parties and as many as found room en-
tered the NJ f. Church, we're the cou-
pie we're united in the bonds of we'd
lock. BY Rev. j. ". Buckly, assisted

May peace and prosperity ever hover
over the three memorable weddings of
November 81, 1877. Peace for the
people of rank of England. peace for
the rich people of New York, and peace
upon the house of Mr. Boose.
