BALTIMORE. Nav 25th, 1885.

B~A number of Mormon missionaries from
Utah began series of meetings in Fayette county,
Pa, about two weeks ago. Large crowds attend
ed and they had succeeded in making several
converts. Finally the better class of citizens be-
came indignant and one of them, Justice of the
Peace, got up in the meeting and violently de-
nounced Mormonism and the missionaries, brand
ing them as imposters, &c. The meeting was
broken up and the hoary headed scamps fed for
their lives, followed by shower Of stones and
clubs. This ended the Mormon meetings in tn at
county These ''missionaries" should be SINH
larly treated wherever they attempt to gain
foothold. Congress is considering laws for the
suppression of this iniquity in Utah and yet these
people are permitted to go into other States and
impose upon the ignorant classes This is indeed
free coantry-just triAetoo free in some things,
and the Mormon business is one of them. 1t should
be crushed out if it requires the whole power of
the Government to do it.

@>Love is the basis of all God-approved mar
riage. Love is not simply little efervescence Of
sweetheartism, but it is deep as nature and high
as the shoulders of God. l don't know how came
to marry my wife. 1t is said that God gives a
man O good wife, and reckon the devil gives the
other kind.-Sdm Jones.
Don't know how Mrs. Jones became his wife,
don't he? We should like to hear Mrs. Jones on
this subject. Maybe her father, whose coal oil
and fire wood Sam was instrumental in consuming,
could enlighten him little. Or perhaps he mar
ried her because she was boss of the situation and
wouldn't let him marry the other girl. Or he
might have married her because he couldn't get
anybody else and is now afraid to say so lest Mrs.
Jones should "interview" him when he goes home.
We assume, however, that Mrs. Jones is not one
of the "other kind" If she was-but then we all
know how it would be in that event.

MD>A matter Of more or less interest to all the
citizens Of this commonwealth, says the Lancaster
(Pa.) New Era, is the settlement of long mooted
legal point by Judge Woodward, of Luzerne coun-
ty, namely, the legality of instruments of writing
drawn on legal holidays. The decision was called
out by case in which debtor tried to get rid of
an obligation because the paper bore the date of
February ed, legal holiday. 1t was claimed
that secular legal holidays were on the foot
ing as Sundays, and could not therefore be used
for the transaction of secular business. The
ground taken by Judge Woodward was that a
State law enacting legal holiday is not manda-
tory or imperative, but simply directory, and does
not prohibit the performance of worldly employ
ment or judicial acts. Cessation Of labor on such
days is not legally incumbent on any citizen ;
the enforcement of such views would restrain
citizens from the enjoyment of their just rights
and would be construed by inscriptions persons
into means of evading their just obligations.
An instrument of writing, therefore, drawn on an
ordinary legal holiday, as distinguished from Sdn-
day, is held to be perfectly legal.

Clergymanic Jokes.
PkiLadeLnhin Timea.

An Episcopal clergyman of this city wrote
critique DIR. Farrar's volume entitled external
Hope" and sent copy to brother clergyman.
After reading it, his friend wrote his acknowledge
ments as follows "I have read your criticisms,
and feel compelled to say that you not fair to
Farrar, and that Farrar, is farer than you by far
are."
When Bishop Huntington, of Central New
York, went to reside in Syracuse the great Meth
odist University was fairly underway. Soon
after his arrival the Bishop erected small frame
chapel at the foot of the hill ON which the uni
yersty stands. When Bishop Peck, the Metho-
dist Bishop, came to Syracuse, Judge Comstock,
invited the two Bishops to dine. Bishop Peck,
addressing Bishop Huntington, said:
"Bishop, why did yon build that little chapel
at the foot the hill? Did you expect to catch our
young men as they 60 up to the university"
"No," replied the Bishop, eve hope to catch
them when they come down."

Gg- The President, in a message to the House,
has suggested that the Sd of September be set
apart as an appropriate day for the Inauguration
harbor. This day is selected as being the ami
versary of the signing of the treaty of peace at
Paris, by which the independence of the United
States was recognized and secured. He asks that
sufficient amount be appropriated by Congress
for the suitable recognition of this event. 1t is
very encouraging to believe that the completion
of this great work, begun so many years ago, is
really at hand. The pedestal is quite finished,
and presents splendid appearance, looming up,
as it does, above the old fort ON Bedloe's Island
in its solitary grandeur.

William E. Stone, on trial in Baltimore for
the murder of his wife last November, was acquit-
ted on Wednesday, the States Attorney having
abandoned the case. 1t will be remembered that
Stone killed his wife and then shot himself, in
ficting wound which came near proving fatal.
On account Of serious family troubles it was be-
leved that Stones mind had become impaired
He was very industrious mechanic and always
bore good reputation until the occurrence of this
affair. The family at one time lived at Woodber-
~, where the older children were employed in the
mills. During the late war Stone was q soldier
in the First Maryland Union Regiment and made
q good record for himself. There were many
mitigating circumstances connected with the
crime, and these, coupled with the belief that the
man was undoubtedly insane at the time he COM
mitted the deed, doubtless led to his acquittal.

MS On Sunday morning last Sam Jones preach
ed special sermon to Hebrews, in the First M.
E. Church, Baltimore. Owing to the fact that the
Hebrew Hospital was dedicated on that day the
attendance was not so large as was expected, but
Sam preached characteristic sermon and hit the
Batimoreans some telling blows. He proposed
that q collection be taken up for the Hospital,
which was then being dedicated, and told the con-
gregation to put in their ten dollar bills and their
five-dollar bills, adding that "there is no use OF
exhorting Baltimore audience to put in copper
cents" In looking over collection at the rink
few days before, and seeing that the plates were
full of cents, he remarked that "there must be
great many widows in Baltimore" There were
nearly fifteen hundred copper cents in this collec-
ton and Sam concluded that each one represented
widow. The collection taken up for the Hospi-
tai amounted to $1,000.

"Lovers Four and Maidens Five: A Story Of
the Allegheny Mountains" by Julius Chambers.
Price % cents. Philadelphia Porter Coates
This love story of Cresson Springs reawakens
all the old fascination that visitor to that beau
tiful mountain resort has experienced. The weird
and romantic localities are described in gay and
vivid manner many of the lost tales of the Ale
ghenies have been rescued from oblivion and upon
the pretty thread of q love tale valuable coec-
ton of historical and typographical information
has been grouped. really novel idea is the
foundation of the story. Four young men go to
Cresson to pass summer month and they find
four charming girls. At first there is harmony;
but fifth girl, entirely outside the group, resents
a slight that has been put upon her and succeeds
in disorganizing the party to such an extent that
only one couple marry as they originally hoped.
Some admirable pictures of clever young women
are drawn, and several keen hits are made e.
garding the society young woman, who manages
her parents. 1t is in every way clever and
readable volume. One can enjoy it at sitting.
The fifteen original pictures by J. B. Sword, N.
A., and F. c. Schell give it additional value.
Many crisp epigrams scattered through the
pages that would we'll rspay quoting, but it would
be unfair to our readers to deprive them of the

sayings for themselves. To them we say: "Fall
