MELLOW MARRIAGE BELLS.


Il SIL YER FEEDING IN THE
UNII'E HOUSE..
President and Mrs. Hayes Looking
Back Quarter Century--A Romantic
Northumberland Rewarded
A Smooth Course Of True Love.
From The Nc,o Yo,kc Herald
It is remembered by many of the
oldest inhabitants of Washington
how the child of President Jack
sons private secretary and son-in-
law was born in the Whito House q
half century ago, and how ut lator
period tho venerable Father Mat
thew, of old st. Patrick's parish,
stood in one of the parlors of tho
mansion, and turning to the Presi-
dent as sponsor for tho child, asked,
"Andrew Jackson, do you renounce
tho devil and Ill his works 2" and
how Old Hickory replied with much
warmth, Il do, most emphaticully."
And from the dreadful days of the
rebellion and the din Of war, who
does not recall the most melancholy
event in the history Of the mansion
tho death within it's walls of tho
"martyred Presidents baby boy 2"
Or again during tho administration
of President Johnson, when he and
invalid wife stood in the centre
of the great East Room and blessed
their grandchildren and tho thous-
and little guests who had been
invited to prattlo and dance on
the velvety carpets of tho Executive
Mansion ? That was, indeed, a
happy event, and ono that u privi~
legged few will never forget. As the
years pass q daughter is given
away there in marriage. Tho only
daughter of President Grant stands
beneath tho wedding canopy in the
same East Room, and the father
secs his darling chill go from under
it's roof the wife of an English gen.
tIeman.
THE SILVER WEDDING.
And SO it comes ut last, as orderly
as the march of time, that in the
samo East Room President glad
dens it's walls with the jubilee of his
marriage quarter Of Il century ago.
Birth, baptism, childhood, marriage
Tho selies is to have completion in
this silver wedding !
1t is nearly forty years since
Rutherford B. Hayes, q mere lad,
visiting the town Of Chillicotho,
Ohio, met his future wife, then q
little girl eight or ten years of ago.
1t was n boyish fancy on his part,
but attraction is so characteristic of
the Webb family that those who know
her mother and were intimate with
the family say that tho charm which
beguiled young Rutherford has clung
to all her kindred. DR.. Webb died
about 1913, leaving tho widow with
two boys and q girl to educate. Mrs.
Wobb removed for this purpose to
Delaware, Ohio, Mt that tino also,
the residence of Mr.. Hayes, who
was now man grown up, yet still
clung with affectionate regard to tho
sweet face which met him in
childhood's simplicity rs he walked
through the streets of his native
town. When Miss Webb began to
bloom into womanhood sho was
sent to Cincinnati to complete her
education, and here, too, by q coins
cidencc, it Unopened that her future
husband had previously entered into
the practice of law.

YORK COUNTY.

Monday morning at o'clock fire was dis
covered about the chimney of the house of Mr.
Bradbury Woodman, Buxton Corner. He
gave tina alarm and only by the most persistent
efforts of about 20 of his neighbors was his
house saved. Probably few houses have been
saved by hand and pail when fire had made
such progress. 1t was traced with the ak be.
tween the walls of three rooms from the first
floor to the garrett and was not extinguished
till nearly the whole middle of the build
ing was either burned or demolished
This is the sixth fire ia this vicinity within
two or three years. When will our country
villages provide themselves with some cheap
but efficient means of throwing WAFER on FIRE,
and save their property? In this case so or 70
dollars of the damage might have been saved
with ten dollar force pump.
