ORANGE Observation-Disclosures OF
A MoNoNGALIA BELLE IN MARION
The Fairmont index gives the fol
lowing account of the marriage OF
two young folks, who were formerly
of thiscounty: One of the interesting
events of this week of interesting
happenings, was the marriage of Mr..
s. A. Posten, of this place, and Miss
Belle Combs, of Arnettsville, on
Wednesday evening last, June 14th.
The ceremony was performed in the
Methodist Protestant Church, in the
presence of an immense gathering Of
friends, by Rev. DR.. A. A. Jimeaon,
assisted by Rev. DR.. G. Martin. The
altar of the Church was decorated in
a beautiful and tasty manner for the
occasion. A shapely, fern trimmed
arch, in the centre of which appeared
with fine effect a representation OF
two snow white doves, spanned the
front of the altar, and from it was
suspended an elegant floral horse
shoe. A little after nine o'clock the
wedding march was commenced by
the organist, and the contracting
parties appeared, preceded by the
ushcrs, who were six in number
Messrs. George Morrow, Joe P, Elem
ling, j. Sands jackson, A. Howard
Fleming, S. C. Malone and C. w.
Walker. The ceremony was impress
sive, though BRIEF and at its conclu-
sion, the bridal party repaired to the
residence of Or. p. b. Ogden, where
the happy couple received the con-
CALCULATIONS Of their many friends,
and where refreshments were served
to the guests. The bride was the
recipient of some very handsome
presents, and considerable sum in
gold coins. She is niece of Mrs.
DR.. Ogden, and is charming and
accomplished young lady. The
groom lately removed to this place,
and is engaged in business on Locust
Avenue. He was formerly in bust
ness in Arnettsville. He is an enter
prising and clever young gentleman
and has hosts of friends. May the
riches of love abide with them
through long life.

AN ExBRYo MURDrRER-A GRAND

AN ENBRYo MURpERER-A GRAND
SON OF REV. Z. PRICE FIXES THREE
PISTOL SHOTS AT THAT GENTLEMAN
Considerable excitement was caused
here last Thursday by the report that
George Price, a little grandson of
Rev. f. Price, had made an attempt
upon the life of his grandfather 1t
seems that for some act of disobedi-
ence he had been eorrected-with a
broom stick-which so enraged him
that he secured his fathers pistol, q
seven shooter, and fired three shots at
the old gentleman, fortunately none
of which took effect. He was ar
rested and is still in jail awaiting the
action Of the grand jury. The little
fellow claims that he did not try to
hit Mr.. Price or he could easily have
done so. He is Of very tender years,
last Saturday being his thirteenth
birthday, and probably does not re-
alize the enormity of his crime.

FRUIT CULTURE.

Editor Apdlanche:
In this section of country there ap-
pears to be some people who are afraid
to plant out fruit. This is splendid
country for small fruit. Every year

wild, and i'm abundance. Sometimes
late frosts in the spring may injure
some varieties, but never 10 az to make

ferent kinds OF fruit will ripen in its
season even if kept back in the spring.
The planter must first look for the
most hardy varieties, and when plant
ing out use proper care to get his fruit
out in good shape. Some people plant
out fruit in n careless way, and then
If il does not live and grow as fast as
IL should, they most always blame the

iault IL laid To the tree. Now, If man
plants IA field of corn, he knows that II
he gets "A crop he must prepare hi,
ground, plant his corn right, and cul
tivate it. If he let's it stand after plant
ing without cultivating, his crop in
most cases will not amount to much.
In planting trees, if the ground is new,
the hole should be dug deeper than the
roots of the tree want to go. down
Then fill up with dirt (the top soil il
best in the bottom) until the hole is
the right depth for the tree. On dry
soils the tree may be set two or three
inches deeper then when standing in
the nursery; but on wet soils it should
not be set deeper than it stood when
in the nursery. If the land is very
wet it should be drained. No manure
is needed in the hole where a tree is to
be placed. Mulch with coarse litter
of some kind the first year. Manure
is too heating for the top of the ground
ana too drying around the roots of a
newly-planted tree. Trees planted i'm
the faf should have the dirt heaped
around the body at least foot high.
Small fruit should be planted we'll un-
der the ground, and for this climate
varieties that have the most foliage are
the best to plant, in order to keep the
late frosts from hurting the blossom or
fruit. Strawberries should be kept in
hills, and the runners well trimmed off.
Keep fruit trees well pruned. Sparing
the knife spoils the tree. An apple
tree will bear younger and better fruit
if properly pruned. For this climate
low spreading top is most desirable.
The sun can get to the fruit, thus hur-
rying its growth and helping the fruit
to ripen, making a much nicer-looking
fruit, and the tree will not be 30 much
exposed to high winds. The proper
time to prune frlit trees is about the
first of June each year after the year
they were planted. Small fruit should
not be allowed TO grow to wood. That
can be pruned any time after the sap
has stopped running. Grapes should
be pruned up to one stock the first two
years after planting, leaving about two
buds on each branch cut off. This
main stock may be allowed TO grow six
or eight feet long and fastened to ~
post. After the second year another
shoot may be allowed to grow out be-
sides the first, making two stalks, and
two years after another may be allow
ed to grow out, but no more than three
at time. The grape may then be
trained on trellis.
With proper care we can have plen-
ty Of good fruit in this part of the
country. There are a great many of
the ordinary varieties of apples that
will not succeed in this country, such
as the Early Harvest, Red Astrachan.
Northern Spy, Maiden Blush, etc.

TOWNSHIP ELECTION.

The time for the annual election of
township officers is at hand. and the
| AVALANCHE desires TO call the atten-
tion of its readers to certain points in
connection Herewith for the public
good. Do not pass the matter without
rious thought, as though il were one
of minor Importance, but remember
that in reality the local government of
our city and town is of more personal
moment to us, tends more toward our
success or failure, morally, intellectu-
ally and financially, than the State
or National governments. This being
true, it is the bounden duty of every
individual to use every honorable en-
deavor to promote the best interest of
all in the selection and election of men
competent to. fill. the various positions
with credit to themselves and honor TO
their constituents.
1t Is a geperally safe rule that the
Office should seek the man and not the
man the Office, and as rule the office
seeker is not the man we want. Hu-
man nature is much the same the world
over, and men are not apt to do more
than their duty, as il is the duty of all
to do the best they can, and when We
hear it said that any Office belongs to
man because of what he has done
for his party or his town, for his social
or financial position, we put that say
ing down as fraud, false position.
No man, for what he may have done,
has any claim to official positian, his
peculiar fitness for the place, az COM
pared with others, should be the only
criterion, and the man possessing that
fitness should be the one chosen.
The community hold n claim on each
of its citizens, and every citizen should
readily obey the voice of his communi-
ty. IL they say take this place and do
this work for us, he should do it will
lingly, or undertake il and do the best
he can. IL has been often said in re-
lation to incompetent officers that they
were the best to be had. as men more
competent refused to accept the nomi-
nations, This is entirely wrong, for
under ordinary circumstances no man
has right TO refuse public duty.
Another evil that often affects local
politics is petty personal spite and jeal-
ousies. We appeal to you to lay aside
oil feeling save the interest for the pub

Oakland county is infested with au
organized band of horse thieves. When
they don't break into man 4 barn and
get the animal, they break into hir
crednlity and attain the same result.
The mode is something like this: A
man opens a so-called sale stable ia
some large city, and another goes out
into the country as agent. He goes To
the owner of a fine animal and says =
" Mr. A., how much for that horse -
1.-Two hundred dollars" Tell you
what I'll do" says the agent. 'Mr.
Jones has sale stable in such place
and an order for just such horse az
yours. III take the animal in, sell him
for considerable more than 5000, and
divide up all over the latter sum be
tween u.s." The farmer bites, his prop
erty is sold, and the principal and agent
pockets the proceeds. Brighton Oiti-
zen.
An Englishman in Hadfield, Eng
land, hearing that his brother i'm New
Bedford had died leavinga little prop
erty, wrote TO President Arthur to see
about it for him. The President sent
the communication to Gov. long.
Gov. Long sent it to the Senator from
Bristol, and the Senator from Bristol
sent it to the probate register for that
county. A copy of the dead mans
will was made and forwarded to Eng
land, and so far all is well enough; but
the generous Englshman sent cents
to President Arthur with which to de-
fray the expenses of the quest, and an
eager people will now demand infor-
nation as to the disposition of the
funds remaining after the expenses had
been paid. The reputation of Presi-
dent, Governor, a Senator, and IL
Probate Judge are all dependent upon
the issue of this question.
The Washington Post has been gull
ty of the indecency of publishing a
long attack upon the character of the
late President Garfield, written, th~
Post says, by a distinguished represen
tative i'm congress, who was delegatt
to the Chicago convention which noIni
mated Mr.. Garfield for the Presidency.
The Post adds that it will give the
name of the author to the, friends OF
Mr. Garfield if they desire it. The
name should be given to the public
that the whole nation may know the
name of the brute who has committed
this outrage. We say "outrage" eli.
tirely without reference to the truth o.
falsehood of the charges bro't against
the dead Presidents memory. A fel
low who would come into the house of
a mourning family and i'm the presenc,.
of the corpse begin to denounce the
sins of the dead man done i'm life, wo'd
be very properly kicked from the place
and even though he told the truth th,
kicking would be none the milder or
less deserved. The whole nation ha~
been mourning for Garfield and good
taste and good manners as well as good
morals require that criticism should be-
silent, at least for the present He
cannot escape the Judgment of history
for any evil that he did 1t is the dut,
of the present time to remember only
the good. Evening News.
