About a Golden Wedding.
For the Citizen.1

For the Citizen.
MEssRs. EDITORS The golden wedding
Mr.. William Wick and his wife Sarah, was
celebrated at their residence in Concord town.
ship on Wednesday, May 3lst last.
Their children, all of whom reside near
home. except the wife of Rev. Samuel Stouffer,
of West Virginia, who with her husband and
children were providentially prevented from
being present-arranged to come together and
take their parents by surprise. The ruse was
most successful. Neither father nor mother
had the least idea of what was intended until
the long train of carriages and wagons came
winding down the hill toward the house.
Mother was at her baking and father WASH the
lot planting potatoes. His pose was a study
for an artist az he Strengthened himself at the
sound of approaching vehicles and stood as
though statue, gazing in amazement at the
spectacle presented.
Mother was overwhelmed with surprise at
the sight of such an immense number of guests
and exclaimed in trepidation. "and am just
in the middle of my baking"
They had lust the day before been talking
about the morrow being the fiftieth anniver-
sary of their wedding but that morning, being
busy with their employments, they never
suspected that they would be called upon to
pass the day as they did.
Their children-four sons and their wives,
five daughters and their husbands-thirty
eight grand children and two great-grand chill
dren, their pastor, Rev Streamer and his wife,
Rev. Marshall of the Presbyterian church and
his wife, Mr. James p. Crawford and his wife,
a sister of Mrs. Wick.-the fftieth anniversary
of whose wedding occurred next day. Mr.
Hugh P. Conway, whose wife, now deceased,
was sister of Mr.. Wick, Aunt Sarah Wick, and
Mr.. Alf. Wick and wife, of Butler, participated
in the festivities and, all, some sixty persons
in number, sat down to most beautiful repast
previously prepared and brought together by
the children and all partook most heartily of
the good things thus provided.
After dinner there were suitable devotional
exercises conducted by the ministers present
who each delivered a short address, when Rev.
Streamer read an original poem commemora-
tive of the event. To each of the parents was
then presented pair of gold spectacles, to the
purchase of which all the children contributed,
and a large number Of other beautiful gifts,
brought and sent, as tokens of love and esteem:
Praise God from whom all blessings fow,"
was then sung, the benedction was pronounced
and all went away feeling that they had had a
most ENJOYABLE and delightful time

The news from Pennsylvania is not
at ell hopeful for harmony in the Re-
publican party. No alternative ap-
pears to be left for the Independent
Republicans but war to the knife or
complete submission to Cameron rule.
1t is safe to predict which course will
be taken, and the result is almost equal
ly sure, except the Democrats should
throw away their opportunity and put
in nomination a ticket that will not
command the united strength of the
party.
We referred the other day to possi-
BILE way out of the difficulty in the dec
laration of Mr.. Lear, the chairman of
the Regular" Republican Convention,
that new convention must be called
upon sixty days notice to fill the va
cancy cpused by the declination of Mr..
Marshall. Other supporters of the
Harrisburg ticket suggest that the
call for the convention should not be
hastily issued, as in the meantime

events might so shape themselves as
70 lead to the withdrawal OF both
tickets now in the field and the nomi-
nation of a new one that would repre-
sent the views of the whole RepublI-
can party. The hope of such a salts
factory solution of the existing difficulty
has been blasted. The Harrisburg
convention, which completed its work
and dissolved, is to be reconvened
within fifteen days instead of a new
one elected, and substitute chosen
for Mr.. Marshall as candidate for Con-
gressman-at-Large.
Senator Cameron permits no doubt
to remain of his intention to rule or
ruin the Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania. Last Saturday he invited a
number of the leading Republican busi-
ness men of Philadelphia to confer
ence with him on the subject of sup
porting the Regular Republican ticket
in preference to that of the Independ-
ent Republicans. In that conference
he presented his "rule or ruin" ulti-
matum in the plainest possible Ian
guage. Knowing that the men before
him were deeply interested in the
policy of protection to native industries,
| be told them that he had hitherto
fought in the Senate for protective
tariff as his father had done in other
days, but if those who had heretofore
supported the Republican ticket wanted
to stab him he was ready to receive
the blow, and be would oppose a tariff
in the Senate as heartily as he had up
held it. "If," he said, you want tc
kill the party, we will all 60 to de
struction together"
"Bossism" never more plainly or of
fensively displayed its true charactel
than in that insolent threat to the Re
publican business men of Philadelphia
| 1t is not the Republican party which
the Pennsylvania Independents seek tt
kill. but the "Bossism," which is rid
ing the party to its death. Senator
Cameron threatens that if this effort tc
rid the party of its incubus is persisted
in he will turn traitor to his professeC
convictions, and do his utmost to ruin
the industrial interests of his own State
SO that his personal political rule and
the business interests of the State evil
all 60 to destruction together" That
declaration cannot fail to add thousands
of votes to the Independent Republi
can Cleveland Herald

CIV NTJyE DEAD BERECALLEDF

In referring last week to the declln-
alton of the Hon. Thomas M. Mar
shall. of the post of Congressman-at-
Large, to which he had been nomlna-
ted by the Harrisburg Republican State
Convention, we took occasion to con-
cur in the general opinion that the
State Central Committee had no right
to name who should fill his place on
that ticket. We favored a new Stlte
Convention for that purpose. And
we thought it very favorable circum-
stance that a vacancy had happened
on that ticket, and one that should be
taken advantage of by both wings OF
the party, to see if the present dIvls-
ion in the party could not be healed. We
little thought then that the Harrisburg
Convention itself would be recalled.
With others we supposed it had finish
ed its work and was dead and gone.
It had adjourned sine die, aud had
| not therefore any further life. Ii
could not therefore be recalled. Its pres
ident, Hon. George Lear, late Attorney
General of the Stat e, so decided and
refused to have anything to do with
the attempt to give it life again. But
Mr.. Cooper, Chairman of that State
Committee, thinks differently, and has
recalled the old, and the dead Conven
vention. This is worse than if he had
claimed that his Committee had the
power to fill Mr.. Marshall's place
Cooper is said to be acting under
Senator Cameron's influence, who fears
to have a new Convention. AS the
power of the old Convention is denied
this attempt to revive the old one IN
place of having new one, is the most
fatal mistake yet made by the "boss. ,
1t really does look as if it were "rule
or RUM with him. A new Conven
tion, called by the joint call OF the
two Chairmen of the State Committees
of both the recent Republican State
Conventions, could easily have beer
procured Under this the people coulo
have selected delegates, and as botf
wings joined, both would have beer
ound to the support of one and
united State ticket We hope the del
egates to the old and dead Convention
when they go to Harrisburg, if any o
them do go, will refuse to do an ac
that will further divide and rende
still more certain the defeat of the par
ty this fall. The mere filing up
vacancy on one ticket will be construed
as a hostile and not as peaceful
move. 1t will be another step in tb'
wrong direction. There is plenty o
time yet and we hope that the advic'
of Mr.. Lear will be taken, and step
taken to reconcile rather than still
further distract the party in this State

MORE RAILROADS.

Things begin to look very favorable
for the extension of the Shenango and
Allegheny railroad to this place On
Thursday last the President and Su-
perintendent of that road, Mr.. Steele
and Mr.. j. T. Blair, of Greenville,
Mercer county, in company with Mr..
j. McC. Creighton, one of the Vice
Presidents of the Pennsylvania Central
road, and Mr.. B. K. Jamison, an emf
nent banker of Philadelphia, made a
visit to our town. They had been In
specting the route that has been de-
termined upon for the location of the
road. We believe it is the same as
given in the CITIZEN last week, being
the most westerly survey, the line
running west of Sunburry and by easy
grades to this place. The name has
been changed to the "Shenango and
West Penn Connecting Link" This
was done at the suggestion of the capi-
talists who propose to aid the road and
who desired some other than mere
local name for it. The road will be in
the interest of the Pennsylvania Central
and Mr.. Jamison, we believe, is to be
the banker of the enterprise. When
completed, from New Hope here, it
will connect here with the present
Butler branch of the West Penn road,
and thus give direct outlet for u
large portion of our county to Pitts
burgh and also to the East. We have,
on several former occasions, referred to
the benefits this extension will be to
our county. Passing northward from
here through the central part of the
county, it will open up and develope
sections of the county that are rich in
coal and other minerals. 1t will also
afford means of reaching this place
by rail to large part OF the county
not now enjoying such privilege. The
travel upon it, we therefore predict,
will be large and paying. Work, we
were told, will commence as soon as
possible and be prosecuted vigorously
this summer. We were glad to see
the gentlemen above named coming
here and giving the earnest assurance
they did that the road was now Ger.
tainty. They are men of high stand
ing in railroad circles and we have
every reason to assure our readers this
important link will soon be made.

Registered Letters.

The question is often asked, What
is the difference between a registered
letter and any other The difference is
that registered letter does
not go into the mail prop
er. 1t passes from hand to hand out
side the mail pouches, every person
through whose hands it passes being
required to sign receipt for it on
passing it over to the next transit. The
person holding the last receipt is thus
always liable to show who is account
able for it's loss The responsibility
rests on the man who has signed a
receipt for the registered pack
age and who is not able to
produce the package or receipt from
somebody else for it. The safest way
to send money is by money order.
Where it does not go to a money order
office, 1t should always be sent in a
registered package. Money ought not
to be sent in an ordinary letter under
any circumstances There is no posi-
ble way of tracking such letter.

FOR CONGRESS,

FOR CONGRESS-,
The Hon. j. D. McJunkin has
again been presented as the choice Of
this county by very decided majority.
He is well and favorably known to
the people Of the county, and will 60
before the Conference of the district
with every reason to expect that the
rights of Butler County to the present
candidate will be duly acknowledged
on the present occasion. We may
have more to say of this hereafter.
FOR ASSEMBLY,
1t will be seen the Hon. William p.
Braham has been renominated, having
the leading vote among his competi-
tors. This is an endorsement by the
Republicans of this county of him,
not only of his action and record in
the late Legislature, but Of bis stand
ing and usefulness as a citizen.
Joseph 7. Donly, Esq, who receiv-
ed the next highest vote, is young
man Of sterling honesty and will make
an attentive and useful member in the
State Legislature. He obtained his
nomination by an honest and fair ap-
peal to the people of the county, and
his success is gratifying to his many
friends. With two such men as Bra
ham and Mr. Donly to represent us,
the interests of the county will be
faithfully attended to.
FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
Robert McClung, Esq of Fairview
twp is well and favorably known. He
has every qualification for the Office
and will perform the duties of the
same with fidelity.
The ticket is good one, is we'll re-
ccived and will receive the hearty and
full support Of the Republican party in
November.
Or the removal of Col. John M. Sui
Ivan, as the Collector Of the Internal
Revenue for this District, the Philadel-
phia Times, of the End inst. makes the
following truthful and appropriate re-
marks:
1T was not Collector Sullivan
alone who received the finishing lash
of the Cameron whipping-post by the
confirmation OF Jackson as his success
or. The more than eight thousand
business men of the district who Pc
titioncd for the retention Of a most
capable and acceptable public officer
were also the victims of the machine
lash, and they are beginning to under
stand that neither bosses nor whipping
posts are essential to honest Republi-
can supremacy"
