aged months, to mourn their sad Dereafe-
ment. But one year and ten months ago
the marriage VOW was pledged by this
Young couple, bidding fair for bright
and happy future, but alas. the monster
death has caused disappointment and an
guish. Mrs. PendletOn WAS aged about
80 wears; was pious, good, and christian
woman. and died with the fall assurance
OF a blessed immortality. Her funeral
took place in the Lutheran Church of
this town. of which she was a consistent
and exemplary member, Oh Tuesday
morning last, amidst large coacourSe of
sorrowing relatives and friends, the Rev.
D. NJ. Moser, pastor, preaching an able,
affecting, sermon OH the occasion; after
which, her remains were consigned to the
tomb in Elnwood Cemetery, the silent
CITY of the dead. Mrs. Pendleton was be-
loved by all who knew her, having won
many friends by her kind and amiablc
disposition. "Nonc knew her but to
praise her, and truly death loyesa shi-
ming mark"
Kind husband, weep not for her who
has gone before, but look forward TO that
happy reunion, when the last trump shall
awaken to glory again, and where sick
ness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and
feared 10 more" May the clods of the
valley rest gently upon her.

ANOTHhR TWIST.

"The American people will never cOndOne
"fraud in the County Clerks office y SO said
the old gentleman yesterday morning, as he
looked up from the perusai of THE NEwYOR
TRIBUNE, with which, according to custom. he
was intcrrupting the coffee and modifying
the nutritious, albeit too crummy, cOrD-bread.
He was uncomm0nly placid. His left eye was
screwed up tighter than ever. HIS mouth was
twisted into so many shapes that 1t seemed to
he all corners. In the expression OF his face
surprise and curiosity struggled with the calm
of innocence, as he read the decision of Gov
crpor Robinson to remove County Clerk
Gumbleton and to let Register Loew remain
The old gentleman had not enjoyed his break
fast so much for several years.
He had turned to the Washington dispatches,
and was admiring the skill of Mr.. Blackburn
in making over for a different purpose the
speech which had been prepared for delivery
on his elevation to the Speakership, when
messenger brought news of the capture of the
County Court House, and the installation of
Mr. Hubert o. Thompson in the hour before
the dawn. "Rcally," he observed, "this is
"Reform, indeed. The public interest in an
"honest, skilful performance OF official trust
"has been sacrificed too long to the usufruct
"of the incumbent of the County Clerks Office
1T is deeply gratifying to remark the devo-
"tiOn of Governor Robinson to the sacred
"voIk of Reform. The cause | have repre-
"sented has embraced the largest and holiest
"iDtcrests of humanity.-l1Ow many votes
twill that give us in the Tammany Organiza-
" tion 7'-And so saying, he folded up his
paper and, mounting Blackstone, went for a
quiet ride.
Meanwhile Mr.. Thompson, as we understand
having auspiciously begun the sacred work of
Reform by breaking cellar door, proceeded
as soon as it was light to purify the City
Government and turn out all the clerks and
mght-watchmen who adhered to Gumble-
ton. When the early lawyers clerk and the
CITY Hall lOunger strOlled into the County
Court House soon after o'clock, they found
the Clerks Office i'll a complete state of de-
fence, policemen on guard, Mr.. Thompson in
an armchair, and Colonel Charles +. Mac
Lean ciphcring away ike mad on a new table
of fees. The news spread through the town.
Everywhere it stirred breeze. Mr.. John Kelly
pronounced the transaction an outrage, and
The Erening ETpreSS exclaimed in a double
leadcd leader, "This is revolution !" We
rather think The Express was right. The
Clerks Office captured, the Register secured by
suspension of judgment during good be-
hayior, the Police Board served with writ
of ejectment, Mr.. Cooper in the Mayors
Office, Mr.. Randall in the Speakers chair and
the old gentleman himself vindicated by the
Potter Committee and enjoying the very best
of health and spirts-here surely are the
conditions for IA first-class revolution, and
we cannot wonder that Tammany should be
disturbed III mind. Mr.. Kelly and his friends
may as well face the inevitable. The old
gentleman has taken another twist upon
them"
