The municipal election on Monday excited
much interest, as there were two candidates
in the field for Mayor; but, notwithstanding
this, the vote was small, only numbering so.
The officers elected were Josiah Adelsperger,
for Mayor; Amos Duttera, T. Fl. Seiss, E. E.
Reindollar, 7. D. Thomson and Jno. Renner
for Councilman. 7. H. Eckenrode received
"a votes for Mayor and % for Councilman.
Dr. C. BRINE lectured on ''IIife and Death
to a good audience on Thursday night in
Eckenrodes Hail. He began by giving a
succinct description of the more minute or
ganisms, bacteria, vibriones, infusoria, &C.,
then of the more highly developed forms of
animal life, ending with man as the most per-
feet form. He touched upon the Darwinian
theory of Evolution, and showed its weak
nesses and inconsistencies. He described
death as without pain, as beautiful recolec-
ton of ideas and of great tranquility. The
music on the occasion was furnished by the
best talent in town-Mrs. Z. L. Rinedollar,
organist, and Miss Vina Shoemaker, alto,
from the Lutheran choir; Miss Grace Hook
ensmith, soprano, and Luther Kemp, bari
tone, from the Reformed choir; Georg H.
BRINE, 1st tenor, DIR. C. Brine, I'd tenor,
and Nc. Davidson, bass, from the Presbyte-
rian choir The opening song, 'The Glory
of Man" a male quartette, was highly appre-
ciated. Come Where the Lilies Bloom
elected considerable applause, as did also the
duet sung by Geo. H. BIrnie and Luther
Kemp THE Good Night Song" by Grace
Hockensmith, Vina Shoemaker, George II.
BRINE and Luther Kemp was rendered in good
style. Every person was pleased, and we
presume edited also. The entertainment
was under the auspices of the Literary Asso-
citation, and we hope they will not stop with
this their first

About thirty-two years ago the wife of
James G.. Edwards, then of Marion county,
Ca, was found in her room hanging by her
neck, dead. Edwards, his children and the
community mourned her death by suicide.
About seventeen years ago a negro testified
before the grand jury that he was runaway
at that time, and was standingin the chimney
corner and saw Edwards get rope and hang
his wife. The grand jury thereupon indicted
Edwards for murder. Edwards was not ar
rested, but he attended at every term of court
for two years afterward, and endeaVored to
obtain a hearing, but the State would not
bring his case up. About fifteen years ago
Edwards moved to Dale county, Alabama.
where he has lived ever since until one day
last week, when he was arrested upon the old
warrant and brought back to Buena Vista,
Ga, for trial. Since his wife's death his chill
dren have grown up, and he has married
again, and has family of younger children.
Edwards is about seventy four years old.
Lee Shellenberger and his wife were ar
rested in Nebraska City, Nebraska, last Fri
day night, for the murder of the former S
child-his wife's stepchild--a girl of eleven
years She was found in the cellar under
their house on Thursday with her throat cut.
She was heir to valuable property which by
her death reverts to the father.

WEDDING IN wooLERY's.

A correspondent at Gambler writes: The
marriage of Mr.. w. N. Shauck and Miss
Eliza Barber, which was celebrated on April
9th, was quite an event in social circles here,
as both bride and groom were leading figures
in society and much esteemed. After the
ceremony the newly made pair, with number
of friends, were given superb supper at the
residence of the brides parents. On the fol-
lowing day they were entertained at supper
by Mr.. W. H. Lindsay and wife at their hos
pitable home, together with some sixty other
guests. The supper was the most elegant,
perhaps. ever given in this neighborhood,
and the evening was passing pleasantly and
all too fast, when the festivities were brought
to an abrupt termination by the news OF the
sudden death of cousin to the groom.

At the election on Monday last the i'm
provement side did not count on over
IS majority, and when the votes were
counted, and their vote ran up so far above
their expectations their qualification was great;
An effort was made to get out the band and
have parade at night, but the members were
too scattered and it had to be abandoned. A
number of colored citizens, with drum corps,
paraded about town serenading and cheering
the successful candidates and others who took
a prominent part on the winning side.
