SrEUBENvILLE, November 6.-The res
| idence of Rev. F. A. Brown, on North
Fifth street, was invaded Friday night py
about eighty members Of his congregation.
They were all laden down with good
things to eat, nice things to wear, and
other articles that are very acceptable Just
| at the advent of a long winter. 1t seems
that Mr., Browns Pensioners remem-
bered that the birthday of their pastor
came on the 5th OF November, and they
determined 10 celebrate the event this
wear. Preparations were begun over a
week ago, but everything was kept With
in the circle and the Reverend gentleman
or his 'amiable wife never obtained the
least inkling of it. He had gone to attend
a session OF Stanton Post, G. A. R., OF
which he is Chaplain, and MrS. Brown was
sitting quietly at home. After all pre-
parations were completed, Mr.. Brown was
telephoned to come home, as he was
wanted Immediately. He had hardly got
into the house when the entire party
trooped in after him. The amount of
groceries, canned goods, &c, the party had
along made it appear as if they intended
opening up n grocery store. But they
didn't: it was all intended for their pas
tor and his family. and no one need have
any fear of the wolf appearing at the door
of the Fifth Street Church parsonage this
winter.

Capt. Primrose, until lately head of the

found guilty OF bigamy in the Court OF
Common Pleas. In 1854 he was married
to Jennie Stires, one of his salvation sol,

time, when he went to Philadelphia and
organized another army. 1t seems that

She and her mother came here, investlgat-
ed the matter, and the second wife filed an
affidavit against him. He was arrested al
