"A question OF great Sravity is agi.

al House of Representative during the
life of the present Congress, or wheth-
er Polygamy is to be connived at or
stamped out by the General Govern
ment. These are important matters,
but not of such serious moment as that
which is now convulsing Mormon
society to its center. The church,
which regulates everything connected
with the Mormon life, collective and
individual, recently pronounced solemn
judg gment on the subject of dancing.
1t was admitted that young people
will dance, and that being the case, it
was deemed advisable to let them
dance so long as they do so under
proper restrictions. The Head of the
Church, therefore, proclaimed with all
the weight of inspired authority, that
dancing may be INDUCED in when held
under the supervision of the bishop,
but that round dances are not to be
encouraged. The decree having been
repeated through all the subordinate
estates and degrees of the church the
dancers put new strings in their pumps
and the fiddlers rosined their bows in
preparation for a series of hops in the
church assembly y rooms under church
authority,

John MartincOurI. ESQ.,, De-
ceased.

Seldom has the composed little town
of Prospect been more startled than on
Sunday, December 25th last, when it
was told from one to another the news
that Mr.. Martincourt was dead
He had been missed for a few days
To inquiry made concerning him came
the reply, HE is sick" AS he was a
constant sufferer the reply did not
create any surprise For forty years
he had suffered from the oppressive
malady, known as asthma. As an in
dcation, of how deeply be suffered, is
given in his reply to companion simi-
larly afflicted, who said it was easier
to lift hundred pounds than draw a
breath. Eyes, indeed" he replied, sit
is far easier to lift hundred pounds
for you can lift the weight but you
can't draw breath "
He was born in the beautiful city of
Nancy, in France, June, A. D., 1907
and in this city received his education.
AT the age of twenty.one be emigratcd
to America and located sometime after
at Galpolis, Ohio.
Forty years ago he first came to
Butler county and then entered part
nership with William Allen, in gen.
eral store This partnership business
was continued with Robert Allen, and
resulted disastrously to Mr.. Martin
court, leaving him only a large ac-
emulation of experience. Having
now no capital he became book-keeper
and manager of certain furnaces in
Clarion county. Having gathered
some means he purchased farm west
of Prospect, on which he lived for
some years. His next remove was to
Pittsburgh, but it was for only short
time. Returning to Prospect, he pur-
chased and reftted the old Bailey or
Allen property. After a thorough
renovation he named it the Prospect
Hotel. At this hotel he had establish
ed the enviable reputation of "a host
unexcelled in all the land"
He was man eminently fitted for
the Office of "mine host" genial, affable,
polite to fault, he left tie impression
of his gentlemanly character upon
every bTdNtlltT. 1NO Out tFcI Ddu Ttd-
son to think him boor BY this con-
duct he built up the reputation of
Ghost unexcelled."
During his sojourD In Prospect he
was called upon to fill every position
Of trust and importance. In all these
he did his work admirably, and special
ly in the position of justice of the
peace, which he filed for many years.
Discontinued parties ever found his
decisions equitable, nor were they ever,
on the same testimony, reversed by q
higher court.
His life was busy one. His vigor-
Gus constitution enabled him to with
stand the encroa hment of disease for
many years. But finally the increase
of years and the complication of dis
orders prevailing, his body gave way,
the mind continuing unimpaired to the
end. AS nks the full orbed sun in
the west, 50 departed his soul. *.*

which would make her one hundred
and six years, three months and seven
teen days old at the time of her death

she died on the last day of the week,
the last day of the month and the last
day of the year. Deceased migrated
at an early age from Virginia to Mary,
land. living Tor q time in Baltimore, at
which place at about the age of thirty
fOar years, she was married She aud

ed on Monday afternoon last in the
old burial ground, alongside of the

Although money is scarce in this
town at present, the German Catholic
Fair, lately held in the Opera House,
was very successful The receipts OF
the fair amounted to about $1,000 and
after paying their expences they will
have about $500 of profit, which they
intend to turn over to the church, to
pay for new slate roof on it and the
tower. The gents watch was won by
conductor Grey; the boys suit by
Gussie Leonard; the ladies gold watch
by Miss Shultz; the lounge by Miss
Heinszer ; the silver boquet holder by
Miss Kockenstein (; the chairs by Miss
Wagner the lap robe by Frank Koch,

"A queer marriage case is reported

to be married, the parents of the girl
having refused their consent 10 tho

brought by the parents to annul the

The recent great land purchases
in Florida and Mississippi, tagother
with the earlier establishment OF the
colony at Rugby. Tenn, indicate that
English capital and enterprise is look.
ing to the South as promising field
for investment. AS every such pur-
chase involves the coming of hundreds
of emigrants, of the most desirable
class, the expenditure of large sums Of
English money for the development of
portions Of our country that sadly need
it, and direct increase of production,
there is little prospect of any Jealousy
or opposition.

Furness, the Shakespeare in scholar,

Mr.. Frank r. Stockton, the humorist,
and others. All these, it will be re-
marked, except Mr.. Hayne, are Phila-

-Apyopos of the latest Newark
defalcstion it is remarked by many Of
the newspapers, with an air almost of
surprise, that the defaulting Auditor
was man highly respected in the
community, and had everybody's con-
fidence.' Since when has it been the
custom to entrust public money to
notorious thieves, or to put men of
known bad character into places of
trust? No man can get an opportuni-
ty to commit crimes of this sort who
has not first gained the confidence of
the community by his ability and in
tegrity. The weak spot in his charact-
er is not discovered, even by himself,
until be is trusted to so great an ex-
tent that he is able to steal without
immediate discovery. Such exag-
gerated trust is wrong. In positions
of public trust the most honest man
should be treated as a potential villain
that is to say, be should be subject
ed to such tests and restrained by such
checks that the temptation to dishon-
esty will be greatly lessened. How
many times must this lesson be taught
before the community will learn it?

The Revenue Reform Club of
Brooklyn has determined to have a
series of lectures on Free Trade and
Protection this winter. 1t has asked
four Free Traders-Mr. Beecher, Mr..
Schurz, Professor Sumner and Profess
sor Perry, two Protectionists-
Judge Kelly and Professor Thompson,
to take part in the course. The ~
Y. Herald speaks of the series as de-
bate of the question. Our contempo-
rary must regard the Protectionists as
doughty warriors, since two of them
can sustain their side in a debate
against four. Mr.. Beecher, the Presi-
dent of the Club, delivered the first of
the series last week. 1t is no discredit
to a gentleman who is 80 strong in
many other directions, to say that
economic discussion is not his strong
point. The lecture, however, was
very valuable in one direction. There
has been some doubt as to Mr. Beech
er's exact position in theological belief.
1t is now clear that be adheres to the
religion which The Saturday Reuiew
says came into vogue in England
about 1851, and which is made up oi
Free Trade and the pleasanter parts ol
1 Christianity.'-The american.
