wilcox Notes.

Rev. F. H. G. Lampe has rome
and left US, consequently we are lust
out OF preachers. As preacher we
think Mr.. Lampe is little ahead OF
any man In this section of county.
He has gone to Williamsport where
he has large congregation of Lu-
therans. We wish him success.
u. l.. Brown, Esq, is confined to
the house by sickness. He saws he
don't KIN ow what the matter is only
he Is not very well himself.
Mrs. A. o. Ernhout had a concert
Saturday evening last. 1t was very
largely attended which speaks well
for Mrs. ErDhout. The music which
deserved special mention was, a trio
or three hand piece on the piano, by
Mrs. Ernhout, Miss ida Wilcox and
Miss Matte Groat. 1t was an excel
lent production and admirably exc
cuted; "The Begger Grip by Miss
Bendena Veditz and "Johny Smoker'
by the little girls, was received by
rounds after round of applause by the
audience. The pupils all did splend-
idly for the time they have had to
learn music as they are nearly all
small and new beginners and show
that their teacher has not labored in
vain and demonstrates that the time
is not far distant when we will have
an abundance of musical talent.
Financially the concert was success
as it ought to be and always will be
when deserved.

When the venerable and learne

When the venerable and learned
Judge Christiancy married his land
lady's goldenhaired daughter, all his
friends feared that 1t would turn out
to be an ill-assorted match. The diff
ference in age, in tastes and in social
position would have been quite suf-
ficient to create domestic discord,
even if the young wife had been a
person of more than ordinary amis-
bility and prudence. After two years
service in the Senate. Judge Chris
tiancy accepted an appointment as
minister to Peru. 1t was generally
supposed that he resigned his seat in
order to give his old friend, Zachariah
Chandler, an opportunity to return to
the Senate, but there were also rumors
afioat that he was anxious TO get away
from Washington on account Of do
mestic infelicities. And now we have
the old story-an application for di-
vorce for unfathfulness to the marriage
vow, and counter charges of cruel
treatment. 1t Is a sad thing that a
man of honorable life, upright charac-
ter and exalted station should, in his
old days, becomes the complainant in a
suit which will furnish the gossips OF
