HYMENEAL.-The English Luther
an Church was the scene Thursday
afternoon last of an interesting matri-
monial event. The contracting par
ties we're Mr.. DAvIssoN ARMSTRONG,
a well-known and popular resident
of this place, and Miss ISABEL Nj.
STAPLES, an accomplished daughter
Of William Staples, Esq, also of this
vicinity. The ceremony had been
announced by card to take place at
two o'clock, p. M, and large assem-
blage Of friends were promptly pres
ent to witness it. At the hour named
the organ, Miss Lou McCulloh prssid-
ing, pealed wedding march, and the
couple, escorted by Messrs. Q. j.
Moat and Eugene T. Porter, ushers,
app. cached the altar where they were
met by Rev. P. L. Harrison, who
performed the ceremony in accord
ance with the Lutheran ritual. The
groom was handsomely attired in a
dress suit; the bride wore green
cashmere, silk.trimmed, travelling
dress, with hat of similar shade,
tipped with handsome plume. The
happy couple retired to another apart
ment of the church where, for few
moments, they received the congrat-
ulations of numerous friends. But
the fact that railroads, like time and
tide, wait not for weddings even, cut
short this pleasant exercise, and the
bridal party entered carriages for
Cumberland. Here they boarded the
afternoon train for the East. The
tour includes Washington, Baltimore,
Harrisburg, and may reach Provi-
dence, R. I. They expect to be absent
several weeks, and, returning, will
take up their residence permanently
in this place.
AS a Journalist and neighbor we
enjoy double privilege two-fold
pleasure-in extending to our happy
friends heartfelt congratulations and
sincere wishes for a long life Of hap
piness.
The bridal gifts were numerous and
elegant and came from friends near
and far.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan 8, 1889.
TO tie Honorabe Judges Of the Circuit
Court for AAega 9 county.
We the grand jury beg leave to report
having carefully examined all witnesses
brought before us, and found presentments
in all cases where in our Judgment the
evidence was deemed sufficient to present.
We examined 101 witnesses, representing
43 cases; have found 90 indictments and
dismissed IA cases.
We have visited the Jail and upon ex-
animation have found everything in appar-
ent good order and the condition OF the
prisoners satisfactory. 1t contains fifteen
prisoners; thirteen males and two females.
We recommend that tho prisoners be
supplied with iron bedsteads aud some ad
ditional bed clothing, as the present fur
mace is not sufficient to heat the building
properly
We also visited the almshouse. We
find in I'll 60 inmates; 81 males; 30 fe-
males and chill lren We made thorough
examination Of the building and its sur
rorndings and We are glad to report that
we found everything in excellent order aud
npon quest ioning the inmates found no
complaints from anyone.
We find the court house well attended
to by Janitor p. Houck, in all ITS depart
ments,
They would further recommend that the
act OF 1880, chapter 326, extending the
Jurisdiction of Justices Of the Peace, te
modified TO exclude at least cases of petit
larceny. The law if properly admins
tered, would doubtless be beneficial one,
and save costs to the county, but 1t is so
liable to be, and has been abused that its
modification is deemed advisable.
Having comp 'eted orr labors we now
respectfully ask to be discharged.

A HEN SWALLOWS A DIAMOND
A young man 10 Providence, X L.,
wears a handsome cluster diamond
pin, valued some where about 500.
A few nights ago he arrived at his
home late, and burriedly undressing
threw his shirt carelesssly on the
floor, with the valuable pin in tho
bosom, and retired. The next morn
ing when he came to don his shirt
the pin was gone, and the strictest
search for it was unrewarded sith
success. 1t happened that there
was about the house a hen--a set
ting hen, kept in the house on &C.
count of her occupation and because
Of the cold weather aud the thought
occurred to the father that the pin
had become detached from the gar
mont when it was thrown down, and
the hen, in her wanderings, might
have been attracted by this shining
valuable, and gobbled it down. He
had great mind to kill the ben
then and there to investigate, but he
didn't really want to, as, if he did,
the eggs would be no good so for a
couple of days the hen was kept
close not allowed to 60 out of the
house, and closely watched 10 the
hope of finding the missing dia
monds But no pin was found.
Finally on or about the third day, it
was decided to kill the hen, when,
sure enough, in the gizzard was
found the missing pin. The gold
setting was bent and scratched, and
one of the small diamonds was miss
iDg, but four of the diamonds were
all right. a3 a Boss

WHOM NOT TO MARRY.

Women who love their husbands
are happy and st rest. Those who
do not are disturbed and festless.---
They are always seeking for some
means of killing time They are
ready to hirt at any moment. Their
children are, according to their
means, either hidden 10 nurseries
nnder the care of French "bonnes,"
or handed over to Sallie, the Stat.
tersly nurse, to shake, and slap, and
stuff with sugar, as her wisdom die
tstes, while society and amusements
of all sorts occupy their mothers
time. Home is not always happy to
the poor woman, because che has
chosen her mate foolishly because
she trusted to that Glove after mar
riage" which mercenary old people
promise those who make what they
call sensible match. Sad, as q
neglected wife, who loves her hus'
band we'll, must be, | believe she is
happier than this poor restless crea-
ture, though she be worshipped.-
The love of one who does not love
becomes simply bore, especially in
the close intercourse of home life
aud she who does not give her heart
to her husband is not likely to care
much for her children. So, girls, if
you do not love your lover, don't
marry him Remember that msrri-
age is q serious sep, and that when
you give him your hand that he may
encircle it with wedding ring, you
seal the happiness or misery of your
natural life. Don't marry unless
you are sure of your love for him,
and bis for you.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

That business is improving 10 the
Southern States is evident from the
cheerful tone of the press in all parts
of the South, and also from the con-
fdence of the people in the future
prosperity of every business interest.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald
writes a letter to that paper in which
he relates a conversation that took
place in BERN nghsm, Ala, between
himself aid a Northern man who had
rec entity moved there. Says the
writer;
"Are'nt you afraid to trust your
capital to the care of three BULLDOG
ing people 7" asked a shrewd
Pennsylvania iron master who has
put up furnace near Birmingham.
"Now, that's politics, my frisnd, !"
he answered, "and I'm here for bust
ness. tie well enough, perhaps, to
talk about bulldoAing barbarians if a
mans up North and wants an othee

but no business has ever been scared
away from the South by talk about
bulldozing, if he could make any
money here. TN just as safe here,
between you and me, and so is
money, as we would be in Pennsyl>
vania. We business men are set
Ting that sectional question. The
South won't quarrel with the men
who invest their money here, and
the North won't quarrel with the sec

lie to DR.. Felton's cry of Bourbon

A LITTLE TOO BAD.

clad in white, fleeing in desperate

Many persons are puzzled to un-
derstand what is meant by the terms
-four penny six penny and ten
penny as applied to nails The
Scientific American explains this by
saying that -four penny means four
pounds to the Thousand nails, or six
penny six pounds to the thousand,
and so on. 1t is an old English
term, and meant at first ten pound
nails (the thousand being under~
stood, but the old English clipped it
to 'tenpun,' from that it degenerated
until penny was substituted for
pounds. When 1000 nails weigh
less than one pound they are called
tacks, .brads, etc, and are reckoned
by ounces.

LAUGHTER. Nothing on earth
can smile but the race of man.
Gems may fash reflected light, but
what is a diamond flash compared
with an eye flash and mirth flash !
Flowers cannot smile. This is a
charm which even they cannot
claim. Birds oanno. smile, nor can
any living thing. Il is the preroga-
tive of man. It is the color which
love wears and cheerfulness and joy
these three. Ii is the light in the
window of the face, by which the
heart signifes to the father, husband
and friend that it is at home and
waiting. A face that cannot smile
