and half long TO the bone. DIR. John F. b.
Weaver rendered the necessary attention.
Mr.. Nelson Young, purchaser Of the old
school house, was engaged several days pre-.
pairing to move il to his lot on York street.
The building was too wide to move on the
street entire, consequently he was compelled
to cut it into two parts. On Thursday morning
he went to work with large force Of men
and eight horses, to move the old building on
rollers. Unforeseen difficulties sprung up
and it was with hard work that they got one
half started, and when they arrived at the
ACTIVITY at Mr.. Edward FuhrmAn's they had
to get three more horses. 1t took the whole

From the Citizen and Spectator we con.
dense the following:
Henry Bittinger, one Of our most promi.
nent citizens, dropped dead at his residence
about 10 a. m, on Tuesday. He was appar.
emily in good health, and had been at work
in one of his lots near by, when feeling tired
he went to the house and laid down on
lounge, in and few minutes he fell from il
dead. Mr.. b. was prominent member o.
st. Marks Lutheran Church, director il
the First National Bank Of Hanover and d
rector in the Hanover and York Railroad
He was in the 5sth year OF his age.
George Swartzbaugh, Of Heidelberg town
ship, died near Kindig's mill, after linger
ing illness, on the 18th instant, in the s0tl
year Of his age. Mr.. Swartzbaugh was borr
and raised in Manchester district, Carol
county, but had resided in York county ovel
90 years.
Scarlet fever has made its appearance il

A sIIver wedding.

On last Tuesday evening Mr.. Louis Dielman
and lady, OF the widely known and popular
summer resort at New Windsor, celebrated
their "Silver Wedding" Invitations had
been extended to a number Of "old married
folks" all near neighbors; and the large par.
Tor OF the hotel was filled at an early hour OF
the evening. Nearly all of those present had
known Mr.. and Mrs. Dielman in early life,
and well remembered that other happy occa.
sion Of twenty-five years ago, when the newly
married couple were about starting on their
career of welded life. Some were more re.
cent friends, who, spending portion of the
summer months at the hotel, had come to
consider il as a second home, and had learned
to cherish warm affection for the kindly
host and hostess.
After few delightful hours spent in con.
yersation and in recalling old times and the
happy and sad events Of the quarter of "a cen
fury just past, all adjourned TO the spacious
dining room, where n most delicious repast
was spread. Time sped swiftly for the next
hour-and so did the viands.
Whea the darkness came ON and the lamps
were lii, music was brought forth and prepar'
atoms made for dance. Mr.. and Mrs. ID.
were the first couple TO take the floor, and led
off with grace and skill that elected APP
plause, and also, no doubt, some envy ON the
part of the younger folks-at least your cor.
respondent can speak for himself in this re.
gard.
The gifts were numerous and very beauti.
full and all we're doubly valuable in this, that
each was token Of the warmest esteem and
friendship. Many friends from a distance,
unable 10 be present, sent on their gifts ac-
companied by letters Of esngratulation and
remembrance. Solid silver spoons, cake
baskets, pickle holders, napkin rings, &C., &C.,
all Of most beautiful workmanship, made up
long list, and drew forth expressions Of ad
miration from all who beheld them. But
notwithstanding their great beauty, their chiel
value to the recipients was in the knowledge
Of the kind feelings ofths many giyers.
The numerous ladies and gentlemen who
every year come from Baltimore and Wash.
ington TO spend portion Of the summer with
MIR. Dielman, have long ago learned to con-
slider his house more as home than as hotel,
and oil who gather beneath his roof seem as
one large family. OF course the ties thus
formed are very close, and from all these
friends some word was received during the
evening, either gift, letter or telegram.
The hours passed quickly in quiet enjoy.
ment, and midnight came all too soon. After
Observation-Disclosures in the shape of ice cream,
cake, wine, nuts, &C., one more dance was
INDUCED in, and then the company dispersed,
having spent most enjoyable and delightful
evening.
