Contents of the Cornerstone of the Old
Lutheran Church.

On Tuesday last Rev. II. W. kuhns exhib-
tied to us the box of the corner stone of the
Lutheran Church, burned during the disas-
trous fire here several weeks ago. The box
was of tin, and the dampness had rusted a
large hole in one side, damaging the contents
considerably. The contents consisted of
copy of the new testament; minutes of the
General Synod of the Lutheran Church of the
United States, held at Pittsburg, Pa, from
May 10Th to 18th, 1859; minutes of the Mary
land Synod of the Lutheran Church, held at
Hagerstown, October 9TH to 10th, 1865; Luth-
eran Almanac, 1865; Lutheran Observer, Bal
timore. August 10TH 1866, with the name of
Rev. II. c. Holloway on it; Lutheran and
Missionary, Pittsburg, Pa, June 9th, 1866.
with same name on it; american Sentinel,
August I'd, 1886; DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE,
August I'd, 1866; on the ADVOCATE was a slip
with names of the officers of the church on it,
but the names were scarcely legible; 10 cent
government note; l, ., 3, and cent govern
ment coins, and Lutheran Catechism.
The cornerstone was laid on Sunday, Au-
gust 5th, 1866, about sixteen and a-half years
before the Church was destroyed.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated
On Tuesday last, May 18TH about two hun
bred guests assembled at the residence of Mrs.
Angie Greenwood, near Dennings, to witness
the marriage of Mr.. B. H. Greenwood, her
son, and Miss Lille NALL, second daughter
of w. w. NALL, Esq. The hour for the nup-
tials was fixed at o'clock, and all parties,
candidates as well as attendants, were pres
ent at the appointed time. Promptly at the
hour the contracting parties were ushered out
on the front porch by Messrs. Ezra Stem and
Samuel Otto to the strains of beautiful we'd
ding march, rendered on violins by the Al
baugh Bros, and, standing beneath hand
some marriage bell, were united in IL most
solemn and impressive manner by the Rev.
J. r. gladden., of New Windsor, the guests
standing in the yard. The bride, who is a
handsome brunette, was becomingly attlred
in pure and spotless white, with wreath and
veil. She carried an exquisite bouquet in her
hand The groom looked his very best, in a
handsome suit of black, with white tie and
gloves. The wedding was beautiful in its
simplicity and the bridal pair received hearty
congratulations from the many friends pres
ent. The presents were numerous, useful
and beautiful, amongst which may specially
be mentioned handsome gold watch and
chain, presented to the bride by the grooms
mother. A bountiful collation., which was
dispensed with true hospitality, was heartily
enjoyed by the guests. TWAS sight to make
a dyspeptic weep; but there were none pres
ent with that physical infirmity, Judging from
the manner in which cake, confectionery, ice
cream and oranges disappeared from view
after the party got down to business. The
bride and groom, accompanied by number
of friends and a shower of old shoes thrown
after them, left at 4 o'clock to take the train
for an extended tour North and West. They
have our sincere wishes for their future hap
piness and prosperity. We started at o clock
for our home, wishing that we might be for
tunate enough to attend another wedding of
the same kind and at the same place, ere
long. The only thing that marred the pleas
ure of the occasion was the absence of the
brides father, who was confined to his bed
nv illness

Seeing A. A. GuanO advertised in your
columns, and highly recommended by several
persons of prominence, we concluded to test
its merits beside Zell's Economizer. We
sowed one acre with rye, applying 334 pounds
of A. A. Guano, costing S5.01, and an acre in
the same grain, lying beside the above, which
we gave $50 pounds of P. Zell's Economizer,
costing S4.2l. At the present time the result
stands as three to one in favor of the Econo-
mizer. The above test was made on thin
land, and without a remarkable change the
rye where the A. A. was used will not be
worth cutting.
The following officers were elected by the
members of St. Johns Lutheran Church to
serve one year: Elders, Jesse l.. Lester and
Jacob Brehm; Deacons, John Hosfeld and
Jacob d. Lester; Treasurer, Zephaniah Leis-
ter.
At a meeting held at Mount Union Meeting
House to determine whether or not the church
should be incorporated, the vote was unani-
nous in favor of corporation.
There was a temperance meeting at Keller
Paper Mills last Sunday afternoon, and We
are happy to state that it was not addressed
by broken down drunkard or rum seller, as
is usually the case, but by man who has ad-
vocated the temperance cause for forty-five
years, and who spoke with a great deal of
good common sense. Inc speaker was MI.
Reed. The majority of the people of this
community we believe, are opposed to local
option, but we don't believe there would be
single vote against total prohibition.
Mr.. Leonard Hoffman, an aged citizen of
this place, died of dropsy Tuesday night last.
His remains were inferred in the burying
ground of st. Johns Lutheran Church. Mr..
Hoffman was the first to be laid away to rest
in the above burying ground.
