Wedding Bells In The Lower EHu-A Cen
Ienarian Dead.
Oar neigh6orhood's great social event
for this winter was the marriage of Miss
Lizzie Drennen, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Drennen, to Mr.. VIM. J. Ankrim,
on Thursday of last week. The ceremony
was performed at 4 o'clock in the evening
by Rev. Mr.. Turner, of Little Britain,
assisted by Rev. John Gslbreatb, of Chest
nut Level, and the large number of friends
present can testify to he good work being
very well done, indeed. After congratu.
lations came the elegant and seemingly
uever-ending supper, Of which about one
hundred and fifteen or twenty partook in
such alarming quantities, that dreams of
turkey bones, oysters, cakes, fruits, &C.,
must have been numerous.
The young couple received an unusually
Ia ge number of beautiful presents, com
prrsing almost everything good to use and
fair to see, tetween a pin cushion and a
silver service.
Besides the above, since last writing, we
have had Thomas Scott and Clara Rutter,
and William Penny and Mary Bockius,
married, to all of whom, of course, has
come much happiness.
Our Oldest resident died last week. Her
name was Mrs. Hannah Brown her resi-
dence in Fulton township near Wakefield;
her age one hundred and three ard not
quite One-h:Ilf years. Thanks to her
wonderful health and powers of lOcomo-
tiOn she has kept out of his reach for a
long while, but Old Death caught up at
last.

ate effort to defend himself. He drew a
pistol and followed the assailant some
distance, but fell to the ground from the
loss OF blood aud died shortly afterwards.
Smith attempted to escape, but vas ar
rested by Mr.. Jenkins. the editor of tho
Je!fersonville Times. The murder created
intense excitement and threats of lynching
the negro were freely indulgcd in. Satur-
day night about half-past one mob
visited the Jail. While some of their
numbe. attracted the attention of the
jailer thc balance of the crowd secured
their prisoner and made off with him.
The wife Of the jailer discovered what had
been done and followed the crowd short
distance, firing pistol in her efforts to
stop the mob. Finding that they were
about to be frustrated, the lynchers emp.
tied tho contents OF their revolvcrs into
the body of the murderer. Three balls
struck Smith, producing fearful wounds.
The negro survived until o'clock Sunday
morning, when he died.

THE death of Gambetta is assumed TO
lessen the chance of the stability of the
republican government of France,
probably because he was Its recognized
champion. But if it is SO lightly founded
that the death of one man can at all
affect it, then it was too lightly built to
have been of long endurance had he
lived. The French people are not trusted
as good republican material, since they
have failed to cling to their repub-
lican liberty when they had it in posses
sion. Quite possibly the dissolution Of
the French republic only awaits the
man and the hour: but both are likely
to be sometime in coming.

For the Week Ending Saturday, December

U. s. Tobacco journal.
Just as the old year is about to die the
trade seemingly begins to come to life.
A good speculative movement has set in,
which certainly shows that there exists
confidence in the future of the market.
While the transactions were not very large
inquiries were numerous. For old stock
especially strong demand is shown, and
wherever old goods are offered at reason
able figures buyer can be secured. 1t is
claimed that these transactions are not
remunerative to the sellers. But when
one takes into consideration the stagna-
tion in manufacturing circles and the
inroads Sumatra has been making, the
prices obtained are better than was to be
expected. There exists every reasonable
prospect that very soon high duty will
check the Sumatra deluge and once more
confine the demands of tho trade and
public to seed leaf and Havana but as
long as heavy importatiOns like those at
present being received continue to arrive
we predict that Of all the 81 tObaccos in
the market only the absolutely fine will
bring anything like profit to the packer,
while those holding inferior grades will
surely meet with great loss.
The sales of the week consisted of the
following
Pennsylvania crop 1851, 500 cases, ut
s to IA cents.
Connecticut crop 1sSO-25O cases, wrap

UniUSt Accusations,

The days chronicle is full of the re-
cord of sudden deaths. Commissioner
Baldwin dies in the street and another
Philadelphian dies at his table while
speaking Of the death of Baldwin, lis
friend. The dean of the diplomatic
corps dies in the White House, after at
tending to his duty Of making the New
Year presentation of tho diplomats tC
the president. Gambetta's s death, though
not so unforeseen, still comes with sud
denness to enforce the impression of The
exceeding uncertainty of life.
Mr.. Baldwin's death was particularly
sad, since there is no room to doubt
that it was Immediately caused by the
mental anguish 10 which he has been
subjected, under the charges against
him, which were i'll their graver accu
sations unjust to him. lie was not only
not a bad man, but he was really good
one, with honest intentions and az
earnest desire to do lis official duty.
He was chargeable with mistakes, hut not
with dishonest intentions; his death goes
a great way in his defense; for a man
witha nature 20 sensitive to reproaches
rs his is seen 10 be could not well have
been the persistent wrong-doer
that lie was charged with being.
His death furnishes needed warning
to those who are ever ready to charge
evil upon their neighbors and to believe
it of them without sufficient cause.
One of the great evils of the day is the
habit of defamation which is current.
1t naturally runs strongly along in polit-
ical circles with the reform movement
which is now on a high horse. Somuch
evil doing las been uncovered in official
quarters that it is readily believed to
exist everywhere. The cause of reform
will be injured by unjust aspersions, and
there is need of greater discrimination.
The newspapers especially will he sure
to come under the harrow Of an indg-
nant public sentiment that will make
them smart, if they are not more careful
to be sure of their spicy items of per-
sonal information before they print
them.

TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. 2. leea.
The SDeakerShIn.

The Democrats of the House have de.
c ared their confidence in Mr.. Faunce
b. naming him speaker by large ma
jor.ty. BY his parliamentary experience
h is the best qualified man in the House
t. preside over it, and this was prime
consideration in naming the speaker. 1t
is place Of great difficulty, which re-
qlires knowledge and special adaptation
of character to successfully Gil. Not
long ago the Democrats, being in 4
majority, selected an inexperienced man
for speaker, and suffered severely for
it. They will not thus suffer under
Mr.. Faunce, whom we do not doubt will
discharge his duty properly in all its re
lations, and in accord with the pro
nounced spirit of the party and the
times. 1t does not require a great deal
of sagacity to keep a public man in the
straight path in these days. His course
is plainly marked out for him, and there
is no crooked turn in it. In the present
revolution the people are up. Democracy
has asserted Itself. There is no danger
of present trouble from bosses. The Wig
ilance which is the price of liberty is
aroused, and the rights of the people are
reasonably safe in any intelligent hands.
There is no politician so dull rs not to
read the popular impulse and to recoe-
nize its strength, nor SO obstinate and
foolish as to refuse to heed it. Even
Senator Cameron has come to appreciate
it, and when he is taught everyone else
must have learned. The Republican
senator's did not even venture Oh eau
Gus i; which has heretofore been fun
damental party institution and the
fulcrum of the bosses. Though
the Stalwart senators are in The
majority they did not assume to coerc'
the votes of the independents upon the
theory, which has all along been held to
be political axiom, that it was thell
political duty to yield to the voice of The
majority Of their party associates. What
ever may be the outcome of the ltepub
lican tangle in the Senate, the people o
the state may congratulate themselvc:
that their interests are safe. 1t doe
not particularly matter to them whether
Stalwart or Independent gets th'
upper hand in the struggle in th'
Senate. A Stalwart chairman will b.
as innocuous as any other. The claws 0
the bosses have been cut, and for th
nonce they are rs innocent as lambs
1t is really wonderful how the wild beast
have disappeared from the forests, AM
how peaceful the adjacent pasture field
are in which the shepherds tend thei
Aocks. The wolves have put on Sleeps
clothing and sheepish hearts and dom
ask for anything more than sheeps
pasture. The shepherds are having al
easy time of it.

the officers aud before they reached Front

Mulvey was fired upon and only saved his
life by dropping down behind q horse
trough. Tho officers fastened to the spot
and, as they approached, bullets began to
whizz about their heads. They fired in
return, Officer Mulvey's shots wounding
the man in the back and leg. The officers
eventually succeeded in surrounding and
ovcrpowcring the man, who was found to
be John Coughlin, who gave his residence
at eli jefferson street. He was taken to
the station, and, being found intoxicated,
was put into q cell and locked up, it being

he and " Reddy' McCarty were arrested

that tiulvey was mistaken for Officer

report, it is said, got around that Jarvis
was sufficiently cured to resume work.
