The members of my pastoral charge
in Mexico and Thompsontown, together
with many other Kind friends in Mexico,
assembled at our place of residence
without any previous notice on the even
ing of March 9th, bringing with them,
aud presenting to US, many of the nee
essaries and comforts of life and also
some funds to spend at our own discre-
tion. For this act of unsolicited aud
unexpected kindness they all have our
sincere thanks, and we trust that they
all will experience that it is more bless
ed to give than to receive.

The Altoona Tribune Of the 29th of March
tells it in this way: Master Frank Campbell,
son Of James F. Campbell, formerly of this
CITY, shot himself in the hand while In his
seat in st. Johns parochial school in East
Coaemaugh yesterday. He was toying with
a small pistol, the ball of which entered the
leg of a schoolmate named Kelly, whose
father had Campbell arrested and bound
over for court.
y Last Friday night two turkeys were stolen
from Jonas Reno in Fermanagh township.
On Saturday Reno obtained a warrant from
Justice Loudon to search the Mccoy prem
ises at the first Lock north of town. Two
turkeys were found in the stable there. and
as no account of where they came from was
given, Constable Wilson delivered them to
Reno. John Mccoy, son Of E. o. McCoy,
and Harry Tyson fed to get out of the
rezch of the Constable.
1t was three years last Sabbath that Rev.
z. Z. Berry preached his first sermon in
this place. Since then he has taken Sc new
members into the Mifilin church, and 81
new members in the Licking Creek church
making total membership Of 81 new mem
bers. In the three years he has preached
on an average four sermons q week. Eish
teen infants have been bal tized. Thirty
marriages have been consummated. The

not including those weeaed oat some tint

The Crops.

So far as we can learn, the crop
prospects In this parish are good. Corn
and cotton suffered to some extent
from drought, but the recent copious
rains relieves all apprehenstons on that
score.
The price of cotton has not tended
to increase it's acreage. Planters are
beginning to see that corn is of more
importance to them than cotton.
As to labor, 1t Is not greatly changed,
and but few have any reason to COM
plain Of its scarcity. A good under
standing seems to have been reached
between employer and employee, and
things are moving without jar or
scratch so far as we know. The Kan
sas fever does not seem to take with
the colored people, and we hope for
their own good that it never will.

MARRIAGE OF THE MlDGErs.

New York Sun, llth.l
1t has been finally arranged, after
many discussions between their fami-
lies, that the midgets are to be married.
Lucie Zarate, the prospective bride, Is
fifteen years old, and weighs a trifle
less than five pounds. Her face is
bright, but not prepossessing. The
bracelets she wears cannot be buckled
around the third finger of a man of
ordinary size. Her shoes (made to Or
der) are q inches long, and her gloves
measure about one inch from the tip
of the longest finger to the button at
the wrist. Her cap was made origin
ally for doll in a Broadway show
window, and is Il good fit. In the
matter of jewelry she is profuse. On
each hand she wears a diamond ring,
her brooch is a diamond, aud she has a
fondness for dangling ornaments on
her ears, such, for instance, as a small
diamond supplemented by California
gold quarter of a dollar.
Gen. Mite, whose real name is f. j.
Flynn, weighs nine pounds, and is
fourteen years old. His face is bright
and intelligent, and his conversation
does not belle it.
"Are you going to marry Lucie:"
the reporter asked him.
eyes, we are going to be married.
"When ?''
ssNext Saturday a week.
"No," interrupted the female dwarf,
"next Sunday. I want it on Sunday"
1t seems that the marriage is one of
convenience as we'll as supposed afFec-
ton. The dwarfs, belonging to differ
ent families, are liable to be separated
at any moment. 1t is thought best,
therefore, to bind them by ties that
cannot be broken by show managers
or disagreeing parents. Gen. Mite is
twice the weight of his prospective
bride.
The preparations for the wedding
are going steadily forward. The bride
is to wear a white satin dress studded
with seed pearls. Small as her form
is, it is estimated that the bridal dress
contains no less than 1000 pearls. The
bridegroom is to wear his full dress
suit, excepting that his vest Of black
cloth will be replaced by white vest.
Miss Zarate belongs to the Episcopal
Church, while Gen. Mites family are
Roman Catholics, and it was on the
question of religion that the families
differed. This difference was finally
settled.

The ID. Stein has been temporarily
chartered by Capt. J. NJ. Esabun, to
take the place of the ill-fated Bertha
Drummer, and will leave New Orleans
Tomorrow evening for the D. Arbonne.
Capt. r. Sinnott has contracted for a
new sidewheel boat for the Red river
trade. Her length will be 225 feet !;
width 40 feet, and depth of hold :
feet.
The steamer Bertha Drummer, des-
tined for New Orleans with IT'S bales
of cotton, burned at the mouth of St.
Francis creek, Bayou D'Arbonne, Is
miles below Farmerville, at IL o'clock
last Thursday morning. She was
aground at the time. A stiff breeze
was blowing and It was soon perceived
that all efforts to save either boat OF
cargo would be in vain. The crew,
however, managed to adump' 60 bales
of cotton overheard, which was saved,
but the safe containing &60O and some
drafts was lost. The Drummer was
built in 1878, and was owned by Capt.
J. NJ. Rabun and Il. Drummer. The
boat Is total loss. Both the boat and
cargo were insured, but for what
amount we have not ascertained.
No prospect for another whari-boat,
although one is sadly needed here.
Dan Boutz will please accept the re-
porter's thanks for appreciated favors.

Good Results

Arc always pleasant to contemplate, as
every dyspeptic sufferer who uses Parker's
Ginger Tonic will attest. To obtain from
this remedy the most gratifying relief when
distressed with headache, low spirits, nor
vousness, wakefulncss, palpitation of the
heart, liver disorders, costivcness, pain in
the stomach, heartburn, cramps, etc, is u
pleasant experience that surprises no less
than it comforts: Another remark able fea-
ture of this remedy is it's powerful specific
action on the skin and mucous surfaces of
tho throat and lungs by which it unfail-
ingly cures the worst cases OF cough, cold
and sore throat 1t cures in wonderfully
short time, removes all soreness from the
lungs, and protects the feeble from con-
sumption. Buy Sl.OO bottle at McFee's,
or sample hottie at Is cts, and test it's
merits.

A characteristic incident of South
American politics is reported by tho
Buenos Ayres correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette. Don Carlos Soto,
formerly Consul of the Republic OF
Uruguay in London, organized Con-
spiracy against the life of Col. Latorre,
Governor of the Republic. AS he was
describing his plan of action at n meet
ing Of the conspirators held in a room
of the barracks of the Sd Regiment of
the Line the door suddenly opened and
Latorre walked in. Advancing upon
Soto, the Governor quietly said: "Be-
fore you kill me Carlos, will kill YOU ~
and struck him on the head with a
loaded whip. Soto fell to the ground
and soldier of the Governors suit
dispatched him with a dagger. Not
outstanding this Latorre is, says the
correspondent, almost popular in
Uruguay.

The OUAcHITA TELEGRAPH began
the discussion, some time ago, of the
question whether the constitution to
be framed by tho newly elected con-
vention should be submitted to the
popular vote for approval or not. The
act of the Legislature calling for the
convention provided for such SUBJ
mission, but this, the TELEGRAPH
says, is not necessary, and would entail
on the State the heavy expense of an
other and superfluous election. The
TELEGRAPH complains that this ques-
ton was not taken up and discussed by
the State press as it should have been,
and that its proposition did not even
receive second. A second to the mo-
tion, however, comes at last, and no
less than three papers-thc Shreveport
Standard, Claiborne Guardian and
Franklin Sun-indorse the TELE-
GRAPHS idea, urging the convention
to put tho new constitution into force
at once without submitting it to the
popular vote. Tho other country pa
pers who have touched on this subject
do not agree with the TELEGRAPH and
its seconds.-N O. Democrat.
