parents, Thirteenth and Wallace streets,
Philadelphia, in the presence of a small
company Of the intimate friends and hear
relatives OF the contracting parties. The
groom is a ~ell-known and highly. esteemed
young citizen Of Lancaster, having for Il
number of years past occupied a RESPONSE
bic position in the wood turning and berd-
fng works of Philip Lebzelter, exercising
general supervisor over the extensive
business of that establishment Last year
he represented his ward in the common
council Of this city, and declined Il re-
election on account of his removal to an
other part of the city, greatly to the regret
OF his constituents, whom he had so accept.
ably served. He was probably the youngest
man who ever held scat in the legislative
branch Of the city government, and his
course there was distinguished by fidelity
to the important trust cOnfidcd in him
and by characteristic good Judgment and
intelligence. The bride, il beautiful and
accomplished young lady, is daughter OF
DIR. Benjamin Barr, . practicing physician
of Philadelphia, and she is also niece of
Alderman J. X. Barr and A. C Barr, esq.,,
of this city. The ceremony was perform
cd at o'clock by Rev. Jacob Todd, d. d.,
in the parlor of the family residence. and
was quiet but none the less agreeable
affair. Tho bride looked charming in a
plum -colOred silk, while the groom wore
the conventional black. There wcrc no
attendants. After the knot had been tied
MIR. and Mrs. DOwney were overwhelmed
with the congratulations ofthc assembled
guests, who were sumptously entertained,
and the flecting hours were spent in dane.
ing and other social festivities. The bride
and groom left on the midnight train for
New York, Boston and the East. their
departure being signalized by a perfect
shower of rice, old shoes and other tokens
of good luck.
Two large tables in an upper room,
loaded down with handsome and costly
gifts, bore ample testimony to the high
esteem in which the newly we'd pair are
held by their many friends. Silvcrware,
glass, china, queenswarc, to say nothing
OF vast array of linens and other articles

this suspicious union is s;gnalizcd. May
bright fortune smile on their matrimonial
voyage and succeeding years bring to
them renewed and ever increasing bless.

Sudden Death.

Sudden Death.
New Holland Clarion.
On Wednesday afternoon a daughter ol
Mr.. Samuel Stoltzfus, residing about mile
south of BARS hotel, on the New Holland
turnpike, went to the store at Bareville to
buy some goods. While making her pur.
cbases, she complained of feeling unwelI,
quit buying and started for home. One
of the storekeepers offered to accompany
her, but she said she thought it unncces-
sary' and started off toward home. She
had not gone far, however, until the
residence Of Mr.. Lands was reached,
where Mr.. l.. roticed her lying in the car
riage. He went out, stopped the horse
and found that she was in a helpless con-
dition. She was taken into the house, and
word was sent to Mr.. Stoltzfus and soon
two of her brothers came and conveyed
her to her home aud physician was sent
for, but before his arrival she had died.
Apoplexy is believed to have been tho
cause of her death. She was about forty
years Of age, and was much esteemed in
the community in which she lived.

Barn and Contents Burned.

Ou Wednesday evening the barn OF
Martin Bear, in salisbury township, Chcs-

discovered to be on fire. Mr.. Il. had lust
returned from visit to neishbor and
had gone to the garret of his dwelling to
attend to something in that por-
ton of the house, and in glancins out of

building, but was unable to save anything
but his carriage. A large lot OF hay,
straw and grain and all his farming uten.
sils were burned. together with about
five hundred dollars worth of tobacco.
Happily there was no live stock in the
building at tho time. Both the barn and
contents were insured. The barn was
owned by Mr.. Hurst. The fire is
supposed to be the work Of an incendiary,

Mr.. Cyrus p. Miller, late candidate
for judge in the Dauphin Lebanon dis
trict, may think that his Lebanon con.
stituents will not understand that he has
been playing with them for his own ad-
vantage, but there must be great deal
of stupidity in that region of country if
his little game is not fully comprehend
ed. Mr. Miller, lawyer of the Leba-
non bar, OF not the most elevated repute,
and who in. the bellum days was ridden
on rail because of unappreciated trans
actions in bounty matters, became lately
the candidate of the Lebanon Republi
cans for the judgeship, for which the
Dauphin Republicans presented Simon
ton. Then arose apparently the fiercest
antasonism between the adherents
of the two men, and they d" fit and ft'
in seemingly the most determined man
ner. Finally, G. anyone but Simonton"
became the Lebanon Cry and Dauphm
howled back {. nobody but Simonton.''
Lebanon proposed innumerable plans Of
adjustment OF the fairest kind and with
the greatest confidence, knowing that
they would not he accepted. The outside
public thought it Was an internecine
fight in which both combatants would
perish and Democratic judge be elect

and found a candidate away off in North

inwardness of the Simonton- Miller bat.
tie and entered the apparently prOmis-
ing field of adventure. We notice that
none of the old Lebanon birds were
caught by the chaff. Grant Weld
man would have made good
judge, and we suppose would have
ascended the bench with thankful :lac-
rity if he had not detected and distrust-
ed the rottenness of the ladder offered to
Democratic judicial aspiration. The
Lebanon lawyers knew Miller too well
to believe with any frmncsS OF faith
that he would stay in the field with
nothing to make when something good
was to he gained by getting out and
their head-shaking is isjustiiied.
Mr.. Miller has got out. What else lie
has got we know not, but that he has
not given the judyeship TO Simonton, his
mortal foe, without a satisfactory con-
Sider.tiol, well secured, may be as
Sumed with great deal of confidence.
The final dodge devised to cover his sur
render is quite too transparent
to deceive the thickcst headed fellow
even in Lebanon. 1t was simply an
agreement to select one arbiter out of
the Republican state central committee
by alternately striking the members till
only one should be left. The majority
of that committee being controlled by
Cameron, and therefore by Simonton, the
result would inevitably he the selection
of SimOntOn arbitcr; which, of
course, Mr.. Miller foresaw and so fore
ordered his opponents success: If his
ct mp'acency was not for adequate cause
his neighbors do not know him.

Foxes Destroying Game Birds

Quail and partridges have been unusu-
ally scarce this fall in Connec ticut and it
has been something of mystery to ac-
count for it. 1t is now believed to pe
caused by foxes. Upon Mr.. A. Ii. Lewis's
farm, south of Naugatuck, there were
hatched two large broods of partridges

Or parent birds has been shot or trapped,
yet this fall not ono of either remains
There are, however, in the place large
number of foxes, and the presence of these
animals is doubtless the cause of the dis
appearance of the birds.

A Tardy Explanation.


day, advises Press reporter who inter
viewed him Oh the subject, that Kemble
was parloned only because he was IN
lawfully sentenced and, furthermore,
that he was not rardOned. lie was not
pardOned because he was not relieved
from that part of the penalty for his
offence, which lay in the fine and in his
exclusion from any Office of trust or
profit under the commonwealth. The
latter punishment of itself Mr.. Palmer
considers to be verysevere one in this
country, and he is quite right.
The sentence of Imprisonment WIS one
to hard labor in the peniteDtiarv, wien
in the attorney generals opinion it could
only lawfully have been to imprisonment
in the Dauphin county Jail without
labor. lie truly says that if Judge Pier
son had no right to sentence Kembe to
the penitentiary the sentence should not
have been enforced because no govern
ment can afford to punish the meanest
or guiltiest criminal except rs the
law Directs That is very clear.
BUTT is equally clear that no govern
ment can afford to release Il criminal
who has been sentenced to Il penitentia-
ry instead of Il Jail, if that sentence can
be amended to its lawful form. The
question for the attorney general to an
swer is this: If, ashe claims. Kemhlc's
sentence WAS indisputably unlawful, could
not the Pardon board have done him and
the state exact justice 10y recommending
his counsel to go before J Judge Pierson re-
presenting to him the error in hi; sen
tence and asking for the reformation /?
Does the attorney general think that
Judge PierSOn would not have dealt
justly 10y Mr.. Kemble Or that it would
not have been quite time enough for the
Pardon board to attempt to do him JUS
tice when the judge had refused to repair
the wrong That is admitting that one
was done, about which Judge Persons
opinion may differ from that of the
attorney general, and if it does the su-
preme court is the only proper tribunal
to correct him.
But it WAS very little wrong, if any,
that was done Kemble. He did not care
for the penitentiary probably. 1t was
HObsOn'S choice between it and the jail
What he did want was his liberty.
And it will be very difficult indeed
for the attorney general to persuade tie
people that it was properly given him.
The reason which he now gives us one SO
powerful that it, of its own force,
opened the lenitentiary gates to Kemble
might with better effect have been pre-.
s,nted when the pardon was given.
Then, for some reason, it does not seem
to have been considered advisable to in
form the public of its compelling force.
