Two mud-bespattered individuals made
their appearance at the office of the CLERK of
Orphans Court in Greensburg, on Tuesday
last. and asked for marriage license. They
had walked eighteen miles and were almost
covered with mud The voung man was
only eighteen years old and the girl about
sixteen. 1t went to the heart of the good
natured clerk to refuse them, but as no pa
rents or guardians had given consent he
was obliged to do 50. and the love-lorn
couple sadly took up their line Of march
back toward their homes. Such devotion to
each other deserves better success. We will
wager that they cussed the getters-up of the
license law deep down in their hearts

\ novel Sunday School Floral service was
given by the Methodist Sunday school of
this place to large and delighted audience
on Sunday evening. The service was pre-
pared by Rev. \. Bash. the pastor. Each
class was represented by two members.
These came forward when the number of
the class was called by the Superintendent,
one bearing q floral emblem and the other a
bouquet of flowers. A large cross, effectual-
ly concealed by spruce boughs that spread
out into a fan of green, was erected just in
front OF the pulpit and projecting above it.
DR.. Brnbaker, the Superintendent. stood on
one side Of the platform and Rev. Bash on
the other and responded % the passages re-
cited By the scholars and received each en-
blem ami bouquet. and disposed of them
upon the cross or at its foot. The last en-
blem, a coronet of white was made to crown
the cross and it stood forth fully revealed
aud glorified in flowers. The exercises were
interspersed with number of beautiful
hymns. The children had been very care
fully trained and recited their verses in a
manner rejecting credit alike on themselves
and teachers The service was something
altogether new for Somerset and brought
out an audience that taxed the capacity OF
the Church The Sunday School is to be
congratulated on having discovered such a
novel and pleasing method of intoxicating
the story of the cross.

Making sugar ny Electricity.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
An entirely new process for refining
sugar, electricity being the agent em.
ployed, is one Of the latest discoveries. |
II the half that is claimed for it be true
it IL also one of the most important that
has been made in the last half Of this
century. The process is said to be a
dry one throughout, dispensing, alto
gether with boiling and the use OF
bone black. 1t is claimed that no
syrup whatever is produced, the whole
product being hard sugar of nearly II
not quite absolute purity-namely 100
per cent. cane sugar, per analysis
This result has been obtained from the
lowest grades, the parcels treated rang.
ing all the way from ten pounds To
over ton in weight.
The refined sugar Is obtained within
four hours from the time the machinery
Is set in motion, and the process is con-
tinuous, the output of fine sugar being
kept up 30 long as the raw material is
fed in and the machinery Kept in motion.
The cost of the process is almost ridicu
lousy low, being set at not more thar
eighty cents per ton, with guarantee
that the loss will not be greater thai
one-half of one per cent The cost O
the requisite machinery including
power and the apparatus needed to pm
the sugar into barrels, and the building
required to enclose the works, is Q.
timated to ba about Sl0o. 900 in Englan
for an output of 1900 barrels ever
twenty -four hours.
