UNIONTOWN.

Mr.. AND Mrs. Jos. CULBERTSON have
enjoyed married life for SO years, and of
course have met with Seueral surprises,
but strange and pleasant surprise was
the result of a call made by few mar
ried ladies on Thursday evening last.
These ladies were forced to disobey the
scriptural injunction to not let the right
hand know what the left hand doeth, as
they used both hands in getting up the
nice supper which was the prominent
feature of the occasion, but the matter
was kept very quiet indeed. They had
also bribed couple of music murderers
to cruelty few tunes for the torture of
the old couple, and thus add to their dis
comfture. Mr.. and Mrs. Culbertson did
not rush out and cut the heads off any
hens, or break open the oyster coop, but
the old gentleman put his hand quietly
Into his trousers and extracted his pock-
ct book, intimating that if anything was
needed to make the matter still more sur
priSing to draw on that. A long life of
Responsibility and usefulness fully enti-
ties the worthy couple to the honor
shown them by the kind ladies who got
up the surprise, and all present Joined
in the wish that they may be spared for
many years in health and peace.
The corpse of Mr.. Jacob Hicks was
brought home ON Saturday, and inferred
on Sabbath in the Methodist burYing
ground. Mr.. Hicks has been resident
of this town for many years, and was a
civil, industrious citizen.
IN objecting to our mail route nui-
sance we do not wish to attach blame to
Nh. Westley or his son Louis, the car
rier. During the severe winter and at
all other times, Louis has used effort to
be on hand promptly, even under great
disadvantage, any commission entrusted
to his care was faithfully executed, and
he is entitled to a more generous sup
port. The advertised contract was
from Kennon to st. ClairSville. and we
would like for the contractor to show
his authority for making the change.
Mr.. WIN. HAYS and wife have return
ed from their visit, and Mrs. Hays re-
ceiyed cordial welcome at the home of
Mr.. Henderson Hays. Quite number
of guests were invited in to partake of
nice dinner and enjoy the pleasant oc-
casiOn.
Mr.. JAMES AND EUNICE WAGMAN
and Miss Johnson, of Cameron, w. Va,
have paid their first visit to the Buck
eye State, and are the guests of Miss Ell
len Snedeker. "Ohio folks" will be glad
to receive more visits.
Mr.. ALFRED MILLS is assistant P M.

A bill was introduced in the Z. S. Sen

amendment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
United States. At the conclusion of

priation bill, but no action was reached
on it, though the session was continued
until9 8 o'clock in the evening.
The Senate was occupied Wednesday
with the Funding bill during nearly its
entire session, the argument being on
rate of interest and the term of the new

has suppressed entirely every distillery,
brewery and wine factory in the State,

whether Papist or Protestant, but he in

While the chief aim of the conductors
of Lippincott's Magazine is to furnish
entertainment, the reader of the fresh
and lively sketches which fill the chief
space in the March number will find
that he has gathered information, on
various topics, as serviceable as if it
had been acquired by a more laborious
process. Six Months in a Country
House in Russia, by Alain Gore, gives
an experience Snch as very few Ameri-
can travellers have ever had the good
fortune to enjoy. The article on The
DiamOnd-Mines of South Africa. by E
b. Bigger, brings down the history OF
these remarkable discoveries to a recent
date, and depicts the present mode OF
working the mines, the aspect of the
settlements, and the mixed character OF
the population. My China Boys, by
Fanny Stevenson, is not only very
amusing, but presents some types OF
Chinese character not familiar to mere
casual observers Phebe d. Matt gives
an account of The Paris Art Schools
which must interest many readers. DR.
Charles w. Dulles discusses the Physical
| Uses of Pain, and Charles Burr Todd
describes The American Newgate, al
underground prison in Connecticut
once famous. Lilith, the short anC
somewhat melodramatic serial which
has attracted so much attention, is con

spirited short stOries-The Kid, and A
Law of Nature-and capital sequel t.
the Shakspearian burlesque, Place aus
