uaDuv Sunday school.

On Saturday evening last through the threat
ening clouds the sun broke in beauty Ger
blooming flowers, singing birds and many
happy children who assembled at Bethel
church to celebrate their twenty an
nual Sunday school festival. The attepdance,
like on all former occasions, filled the church
to OVERLOOKING, the 'slads and lassles" being
largely in the majority. The church was pro-
fasely decorated with evergreen and choice
and rare flowers of the season. To give a
description would be but faint praise in print
The ladies who had this in charge certainly
tried themselves, for it was the general YER
dict of all present that the decorations echpsed
all former efforts.
The programme was quite elaborate. To
particularize would not only require too much
space, but would be well nigh impossible !;
suffice it to say, that all the participants re-
ceiyed high eneomiums of praise for the ex
cellence of execution and distinctness of de-
livery During the exercises the school sang
number of selections from the "Quartette"
and ''Songs of the Kingdom. Miss Ida
Cover gracefully presided at the organ. The
Oak Orchard band at different intervals rem
dered choice airs, in good style. The band,
with its bright uniform, added much to the
endowment of the occasion. Mr.. Isaiah Dew
ilbiss. assistant superintendent, and Rev. Mr..
Collins, delivered appropriate addresses, fol-
lowed by Rev. d. NJ. Browning, who in a few
well chosen remarks congratulated the officers
and teachers as well as the school for their
untiring zeal and energy in Sunday school
work; the committee for their interesting
programme and the ladies for the taste dis
PLAYED in decorating the altar and the church
in general In abiding to the ivy and ever
green, which was gracefully entwined around
the chandeliers, reminded the speaker what
the Saviour said-'L am the vine, we are the
branches" His remarks throughout elected
much applause. At the conclusion of his adj
dress vote of thanks was heartily rendered
Mr.. Jos 7. Stem for his faithfulness and untir-
firing efforts in instructing the school in vocal
music, after which the band, by request,
PLAYED Rev. Mr.. Browning S favorite selection.
Benediction being pronounced the school re-
tired to the basement of the church, where
there were in waiting 200 large sacks filled
with ''good things to be distributed in the
school. This was soon done and in less time
they all were doing ample justice to the con-
tents. A feature of the occasion, as usual,
was the number of fine turnouts and hand
somely dressed ladies. The general express
sion of those present was that they seldom, if
ever, attended festival where there was so
much mirth and enjoyment. Everybody was
happy.
The school has enrolled more scholars than
any other school for miles around, and much
credit is due to its worthy superintendent,
Mr.. Milton Koontz.

Farmers are through cutting off corn and
are beginning to husk. The early sown wheat
is looking we'll No fly is reported yet.
Mrs Sarah Horner and Mrs. Matte E.
Greenwood, from Cranberry, visited friends
and relatives at this place last week.
Your correspondent recently received a
letter from Mr. Thomas E. Flickinger, Nc
Peterson, Kansas, formerly of Mayberry),
from which the following is an extract: ''Wc
don't have any hills to climb over like at old
Mayberry. The only objection | have to this
country is there is no timber here. Fruit,
such as apples, peaches and pears are very
plentiful We are having very good corn
crop this year, but the wheat crop was very
poor. Wheat is sold for 60 cents per bushel;
the best corn Is to 20 cents per bushel oats
II to IS cts. per bushel. Times are very dull
at present"
On Saturday evening of last week our quiet
little village was visited by several young men
of Taneytown, known as the Taneytown Cab
bage Heads, to give one of our merchants g
complete thrashing. Fortunately they had
gas for spunk, so they went home without
much fuss.
Health in this community is better this tal
than it has been for many years. Mr.. Jere-
miah Singer has recovered again.

Tyrone Items.

Farmers are nearly all done seeding and
cutting corn, and few will soon husk, though
the majority will not begin for several weeks
yet. A great deal of wheat has been seeded
in this locality this fall, and is looking well
thus far.
Your correspondent was one of fourteen
who attended the wedding at Mr.. John Rod
keys, near Mayberry, on the 24th ultimo.
The contracting parties were Mr.. c. K.
Weigle, of Harrisburg, Pa, and Miss Mary
A, youngest daughter of Mr.. John Rodkey,
of this county. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr.. Sollenberger, of Littlestown, Pa.
After the ceremony and congratulations, all
were invited to the dining room, where was
spread table with all the delicacies of the
season and where all did ample justice to the
inner man. Mr.. Weigle and lady left on the
early train on Friday morning for Harrisburg,
Pa, where they expect to make their future
home. We extend to them our best wishes
and heartiest congratulations.

FinIxSburn HENS,

Revival services were conducted by Rev.
J. Edgar Wilson during the third week IL
September at White Hope Chapel.
Archdeacon Vesey, of county Huntingdon
England, spent Friday and Saturday of last

early home was in county Huntingdon. The
Archdeacon expresses himself as well pleased
with America.
The foundation of the NJ. P. parsonage is
completed. Messrs. Daniel Hahn and JOIN

cost has lately had a new roof put on ms
bodybuilding.
The thunderstorm of Friday night, the %
inst, was very severe in this section, and ac
companied by a good rain fall, which was
much needed. A few telephone poles were
split and the ground wire running into Mr.
Horner's store was broken. The poles anc
wires of the private line between Messrs. +,
Hering's and G. Armacost's were badly
broken.

After several weeks of dry weather, this
section was visited on Friday night, I'd inst,
with the heaviest rain of the season, accompa-
MED with terrific thunder and lightning.
Our public roads and wheat fields were badly
washed and our streams overlooking in some
places. carrying away fences, etc.
Some of our farmers are done seedHlg and
will soon commence shocking CORP, which
promises above an average yield.
Our politicians are taking "a rest after
one of the most animated primary campaigns
ever witnessed. Freedom was never more
thoroughly canvassed, and it had the effect to
bring out the largest gathering we ever saw at
a primary election, many Republicans voting
with the Democrats, affirming that they never
expected to vote again with the Republican
party. This acquisition to our ranks may be
in part due to the excitement, but mainly to
the sound political doctrines of the ADVOCATE,
which we have observed has been anxiously
sought, and carefully perused by many of our
Republican friends, who will doubtless be-
come patrons of your excellent paper. Alter
the vote had been cast, and the polls closed
at our election, a large majority of the voters
remained to hear the result, and when 1t was
announced that the combination" had won,
it was received without excitement on either
side. We glanced at our several candidates
DIR. Steel was thoughtful, as if unable to de-
termine from the height of the political pulse
whether there had been malpractice, or the
body polite was suffering from a plurality of
disoders in combination Mr.. Shipley
stood like a sound philosopher, calculating
which would yield the most cream, the milk
of dry cows or the whey of political hobbies;
Mr.. Berret stood five feet fourteen inches in
his boots; Mr.. Beasman talked twice at once;
Messrs Dorsey and Gorsuch smiled from the
chin 10 the crown of the head, inclusive,
while the 'dark horse stood quietly cogitat-
ing the best way to lump the bounty and
leap upon the ticket. 1t was an interesting
panorama Our enterprising and public
spirited Young capitalist, with many others,
stood smiling, and could not have been more
highly pleased if they had found a quarter"
Everything passed off quietly, and no offences
were offered, except perhaps, in few IN,
stances, where the parties had failed to read
Chesterfeld's Laws of Etiquette, or had over
weighed themselves by Newton's Laws of
Gravity But in all such cases the ofenses
were overlooked with necessary allowance,
and harmony prevailed. We hope to see
repetition of the same zeal and harmony at
the November election, all in combination"
supporting our ticket without dissenting
voice. While some may have preferred
others through personal friendship, none can
find fault with those upon the ticket, and tits
to be hoped and expected that every Demo
crat will yield his private preferences to
party interests, recollecting that everyone
cannot have his choice where there are many
candidates and but few positions to I'LL.

EIopement and Marriage.

The Westminster correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun writes On Friday of last week
Mr.. C. E. Weigandt, formerly editor of the
Union Bridge Era, but now of Philadelphia,
arrived in the village of Union Bridge, and
going to the house of VIM. H. Hartman, ma
chinist, asked his consent to his (Weigandt's)
marriage with Mr.. Harman's daughter, Miss
Maggie. Mr.. Hartman refused, whereupon
Mr.. Weigandt came to Westminster and pro-
cured marriage license, after which he re-
turned to Union Bridge. On Sunday morn
ing Miss Maggie started to Sunday school at
the Lutheran Church, but stopped at a neigh
boris, where she was met by Mr.. Weigandt
with horse and buggy. They drove to the
residence of Rev. Solomon Stoner, who was
away from home, and from there to Linwood,
to Pipe Creek TINKER Church, where Sunday
school was just being dismissed. Here they
were soon united in marriage by Rev. Joel
Roop. They boarded the train at Linwood
at p. M, and are supposed to have gone to
Philadelphia, as Mr.. Roop was directed to
send the marriage certificate to that city

Eden Items.

As your regular correspondent from this
place has been very busily engaged pursuing
his daily ayocations, We presume he has not
had leisure to note the happenings of Eden
and adjacent neighborhood for sometime,
consequently we will assume the authority to
do so, hoping he will pardon us and not brand
us as 'sofficious" or Intrusive"
Corn cutting and seeding, which have been
the principal occupation of the farmer for
some time past, are about concluded, and they
are now making preparation for the next big
job, as they term it, corn husklng.
Mr.. Wesley Payne, son of John Payne,
Esq, who has been in the West for long
time, has returned to old Carroll again to take
charge of his fathers farm. We welcome
Mr.. Payne in our midst, as he is a genial
man. Mr.. William Mof, also former resi-
dent of this neighborhood, who has been alb
sent for nearly twenty years, arrived here a
few days ago, from his western home, Indiana,
where he is now engaged in merchandising.
Typhoid fever has been, and is at present,
quite prevalent in our neighborhood. Miss
May, daughter of Thomas j. Gorsuch, Esq,
is lying quite i'll and with but little hope OF
recovery. A little daughter of Mr.. Andrew
Shaffer is critically i'll with the same disease.
David II. Zimmerman Esq, has also had a
severe attack, and has been confined to his
IOOiu ScNcIdl WtCho, Oub Sleu w
report that he is rapidly convalescing.
Hog cholera has been playing havoc among
the hogs in this vicinity. Among the heaviest
losers reported to us are j. j. Abbott, about
thirty, ranging in weight from twenty to three
hundred pounds; and Thos. j. Gorsuch about
twenty-five. Other losers are j. j. Neu-
decker, Jacob Basler, John Basler and Isaac
Manchey.
Michael Walsh lost valuable horse last
week, from collie.
Politics is remarkably quiet with us at this
time, but there is always after storm calm.
Our Republican friends, whom We respect, say
there is CYCLONE coming after the CALM
that has already followed the storm, and ask
'What after the Cyclone ?" would suggest
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
We think the ticket nominated by the Demo
cratic convention, good one, and merits the
suffrages of all true Democrats. Yet, it
would be a matter of impossibility to nomi-
nate ticket acceptable to everybody. There
are always some, from their personalities and
prejudices, ready to wreak Vengeance on can
didates. We think, if there be any dissatisfied
Democrats in this campaign, if they place the
candidate and the great Importance attached
to his election on one side of the balance, and
their personalities and prejudices on the other,
that, after due consideration and mature de-
liberation, they will find the side containing
personalities and prcjudices wanting" and
will excaim, as did the eminent statement

Gambler Items.

On Friday, the I'd inst, a severe thunder
storm visited our neighborhood. One cloud
came from the southeast and one from the
northwest. They seemed to meet at point
over our village, and about 8 o'clock in the
evening burst with all its fury. The light.
ming struck and set fire to a barn 74x44 feet,
on the farm of Levi Barnes & Bro, entirely
destroying it, together with about 1900 bush
els of wheat, 200 bushels of oats, buggy and
all of their harness; also about 30 bushels OF
wheat belonging. to Robert Wheeler, which
was in the barn at the time. We have learned
also that cow was killed.
The protracted meeting at Providence still
continues, with good success. Thirty foul
have professed religion and five or six peni-
tents are at the altar.
Mrs. Margaret D. Solomon, an estimable
lady of Baltimore, died on Thursday morn
ing, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs
Nicholas Benson. Her rema ms were inter-

There was an interesting game of bal
