Wedding at the New Jerusalem Church.
Last evening there was brilliant wedding
at the New Jerusalem Church, when Stephen
e. Thompson, Esq, a well known business
man, was united to Miss Addie E. Jordan,
daughter of Major William P. Jordan. The
church was well filled long before o'clock
at which hour the wedding party entered.
The ceremony was performed in an impressive
manner by the Rev. j. X. Smyth, assisted by
the Rev. DR.. w. B. Hayden Mr.. G. NJ
Thomas and Mr.. D. P. Perkins acted as
ushers. Mrs. George o. Goss officiated as
organist, and as the happy pair entered gave
Lohengrin's wedding march in fine style, and
Mendelssohn's march as they left the sacred
edifice.
After the ceremony the newly welded pair
drove to their future residence on Spring
street, where they received their friends

There are county officers denying
that there is any surplus money in the
Treasury, and what is there is caused
by persons paying their whole years
taxes.
The man who says thisis either wilful-
ly misrepresenting the matter or Is
too ignorant to fill an office. The
county Auditors certified report says
there was a balance in the County
Treasury OIL the 1st day OF September
1878, something over fifteen thousand
dollars. But ayear or two ago the
Herald proposed to have this money
used to build residence for the Pro-
brte Judge and Sheriff. What the OBJ
iectis in denying this money is in the
Treasury is more than we can under
stand, and the sooner that the taxes
are reduced and this money which is
lying idle in the Treasury paid out
the better it will be for all concerned

LIVE AND LEARN.

PoliScal parties like individuals,
learn as they grow older. The Nation
al Greenback party is young, but has
already learned several important les
sons that will be of lasting benefit to it
in future campaigns. 1t is acquiring
most valuable experience at an early
age, which willvery soon enable it to
successfully cope with the oldest Of
them. 1t has been swallowed few
times, but like Jonah of old, it won't
stay swallowed worth a cent. 1t suf-
fered itself to be swallowed in Michi-
gan. The consequence was the Green
back Republicans were driven from
its support, which enabled the hard
money bond Democrats and Republi-
cans to unite the forces and carry the
state. 1t was swallowed in the city of
Chicago, where it nominated Carter
III. Harrison, a so called Greenback
Democrat, for Mayor, after which the
Democrats also nominated him, and
when he was elected they did all the
crowing-the Greenbackers not being
known or recognized in the transac-
tion. Ithas also been betrayed few
times, in elsvating men to Office who
proved false to their pledges and the
principals of their party. A pin is
stuck here.
But in the city of Toledo, any many
other places, where square and man
ly fight was made, it has swept every
thing before it, and will henceforth
continue to gain strength as the peo
pie become determined for the right
until all opposition i, overcome. =

remarked that many of the citizens of the

was 'taking in" the monkey shines OF

After this disgusting nonsense was

Death of Charles f. Bunnell.

The following we take from the Clyde
Enterprise, in reference to the death of
Charles f. Bunnell
After three days and nights of painful
anxiety concerning the probable ultimate
result Of the serious accident which hap
pened to Mr.. Charles E. Bunnell on We'd
nesday evening of last week, the case devel-
oped fatal systoms late Saturday afternoon,
and at nine o'clock and ten minutes that
evening Mr.. Bunnell ceased to breathe.
From the first the symptoms has been un-
towarc, though attended by an uncertainty
which nearly always marks leases of inju-
ry of this sort, and his friends remained
anxiously hopeful until the end became in
evitable. He lay at o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon in mild stupor, from which be
did not rouse at all, 30 that of his ap-
preaching departure he himself was utter
ly unconscious. Previous to this time he
had been by turns delirious and rational
one or two attacks of commissions had in
tervened, IA recurrence of the physicians
felt bound to prevent by a judicious use Of
opiates. Saturday morning he was ration.
al for a brief period only, and during thai
time he summoned his wife 10 his bedside
and sought to talk with her of the enc
which he felt to be coming, but she wa
unable to control her emotion enough t.
MAINTAIN a conversation. To her the blor
has come with terrible crushing power, ant
the hearts of the entire community ar
melted in sympathy for her. At about
o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday ra
wing delirium succeeded the morning calm
ness, and when this had been controlIe,
the stupor followed in which he died.

Take Care of the Forests.

More enlightened than their Christian
successors, the Mcors, in their time took
special care of the forest. The Arabs were
always remarkable for the wise precau-
tions they took for the pressrvatoIn of wa
ter sources and the distribution of this ele-
ment of life and fertility. The island of
Sicily to this day is covered with aque-
ducts, subterranean and supersubterraneaD
which they build to convey the outfowing
of the mountain springs to the adjacent
districts, If Palermo now has an abundant
supply Of water, it is owing to the Arab
Caliphs, and not to the Christian dynasties
that at various times ruled the fortunes Of
that insular paradise.
During the Arab domination in Spain,
the mountain forests were protected by
the most stringent legislation, and care was
taken to preserve a proper proportion be-
tween woodland and tillable soil. All these
wholesome regulations were annullsd when
the Moors were expelled from Spain. The
dry countries of the east, where olitic
plains have been converted into dererts
and vast tracts, once dotted over with pop
| ulous cities, have now no other tenants
than few tribes of nomandic Arabs, were
originally thick wooded. Progressively
with the disappearance of the woods, the
natural resources declined. Whenever
according to a well informed writer, statis
tical records have been preserved, it j;
proved beyond the possibility Of a doubt
that the misfortunes of des0late regions
of the east commenced with the disappear
ance of their arboreal yegitation.
