The marriage license law of Penn.
sylvsnia was drawn up by The Rev. T.
j. Sherrard, of Honeybrook, in Ches-
ter county, and put through the Leg
islature by Senator Harlan, of the
same county. AS it appears in the
Legislative Record it requires "the
party" applying for license shall be
questioned by the Clerk of Courts to
whom the application was made, and
the intent of the requirements, as
stated by both the gentlemen referred
to, is that any responsible person may
take out license for friends on satis-
factorily answering the questions of
the clerk. But as the law appears in
pamphlet form "lhe party" is changed
"to parties, SO as to leave the impress
sion that the persons to be married
must go before the clerk and be ques.
toned. The belief is that this change
was made in order to cause embarrass-
ment and bring such odium on the law
az to cause it to be repealed. d.-E1.

known here as there, owing to his hav.
ing for many years run the lumber

nesta creek, in which be was very sue
cessful. About eight years ago he
moved with his family to TiOnesta and
engaged in hotel keeping in which ca
pacity he had few equals. Ga the
first of April he removed to Warren
and assumed charge of the Ludlow
House, but having for many months
been out of health, he rapidly grew
weaker until death claimed him. He
