The Williamsport Banner fathers the fol-
lowing: A Mianus, Pa, minister, while mar.
rying couple recently, is reported to have

The weather in this part of the world
fuctuates so much that common changes
are not talked Of, but the changes in the
weather last Thursday were so numerous,
and sent the mercury up and down so often
in the thermometer, that the fluctuations Of
that day were the standing topic TO talk OF,
but by night-fall it had settled down to
mid-winter cold.
| A dangerous disease in eyes of horses
has manifested itself in different counties
of the State. To limited extent it has
appeared in this county. Mr.. George mith
| IN this borough, has a horse, the eyes of
which were affected. Mr.. Smith, however,
has a cure. which il would be well for horse
men to look TO. In the eastern part of the
State many horses are going blind. The
disease is called the eye epizooty.
Anna Dougherty. in Altoona, concluded
TO marry a man ag ainst her fathers will,
but while she was on her way TO get mar
ried, an officer of the law arrested her and
took her to her fathers house. She did not,
however, give up the match, but vowed,
"'n marry that min if it is forty years
from now" And, by the way, it may be
said that the report prevails that the daugh-
ter of the Governor of Connecticut, who
ran away to get married a few weeks ago, is
waiting on an invitation to come back.
The Perry county Fr.sman last week
said Some scoundrcl struck Mr.. II. J. Ep
OF timber, while he was closing the window
shutters of his store ON Thursday evening
last. II Is thought that the villain intended
to rifle the store of its contents, but as his
blow did not knock EpPler senseless and
only caused him to give an alarm, the as
sailing party sought safety in fight.
A Washington paper tells, as follows, how
a sister stopped a marriage: Captain Nor
man Crane, on his death-bed at Meyers
Hotel. in Washington, last Sunday night,
expressed his willingness TO be married to
woman with whom he had lived for five
years, and who bad all along been known as
Mrs. Mary Crane, his wife. The idea in
going through the marriage ceremony was
that Mrs. Crane should get her part of the
$4,000 of earthly goods about to be left by
him. Rev DIR. James G.. Addison was sent
for. According to his own statement, when
he asked the rspidly-sinking Crane If he
were willing TO marry this voman," Celia
Crane, the Captains sister, put her hand on
the diving mans mouth, and thus prevented
the consummation of the marriage. Upon
the death of the man the sister seized the
property.
