A GREAT POwEF. Nor than
thirty-two thousand public schools
Of the United States have each been
supplied WITHIN copy Of Webster 3
Unabridged Dictionary. Think what
that means. If there is an average
Of ffty scholars 90 each school. il
means that constantly a million and
o half Of American youth have the
privilege Of consulting and studying
this great work iu the course Of
their education. Who can estimate
Che power for intellectual stimula-
ton and Development which Is thus
actively ut work an the time? The
prc-cmincncc Of the American pco-
pie for general accuracy and facility
in the use Of the English language
is not like Co be lost. Well and
truly has Noah Webster been called
The SCHOOLMAsTEB OF THE RI
PUBLIC.

The most brilliant social event of
the season took place to-day at the
elegant residence of William G..
Brown. 1t being the marriage Of
Miss Mary Brown and Mr.. +. Alden
Eaton. Handsomely engraved M
vitation cards were sent out last week
announcing the wedding, and moth
ing else has been,taaked of in social
circles since. A few minutes before
twelve to day in the presence Of n
large assemblage of invited guests,
the happy couple were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony, in accor-
dance with the beautiful and inn
pressive ceremony of the Episcopal
church. The officiating minister was
the Rev. James a. pevine, the new
preacher of the Presbyterian church.
The bride was given away by Mr..
W. &, Brown, and looked quite
charming in her bridal costume.
while the bridegroom, dressed IN the
conventional black, was as gallant
and manly rs any Knight of We
olden times. After the ceremony,
congratulations were offered and
refreshments were announced. All
repaired to the dining rooms and
for an hour or more all the delca-
cies that could tempt the palate
or please the eye, were served in the
most hospitablc manner. The we'd
ding dinner was one Of the most
s%umptuous and elegant ever spread
in Kingwood.
The bride received many hand
some and valuable presents. from
friends far and near. The gifts
were much admired and commented
on by the guests. At 8 p. m. u
special train took the bridal party
to Tunnelton. The car was crowd
ed with friends anxious to see the
newly welded couple of on their
bridal tour. The Kingwood Silver
Band came to the house, under the
lead of Prof. Smith, and serenaded
the party and then accompanied
them to Function. playing on the
way and at Tunnclton.
They go on to Pittsburgh spend
the first of the honeymoon, after
which they will return to Kmgwood
and remain till spring, so that al
though Mr.. Eaton has gained "A bride
we will not yet loose her from our
social circles. The sister, brother
aud uncle OF the groom came from
%Plttsburg, TO attend the wedding
and returned with them. Several
of the guests from KIngwood, went
on to Grafton and Mrs. N. j..
Fortney as far as Wheeling, with
the bridal party. The day was a
beautiful day for the time of year and
it brought to mind the old sayingof
"Happy is the bride the sun shines
on" in this case, Judging from
the weather, the beautiful and cost
ly presents, the large attendance of
well wishing guests, and the un-
bounded enthusiasm Of everybody,
we would say that their prospects
for a happy voyage on the sea OF
matrimony are surely colored with
all the tints of the rainbow. We
wish them god speed and hope that
nothinG viii ever mar their bright
ana happy beginning. We are sorry
that we cannot give the names of
the guests, but we are just ready to
go to press, and time and space
forbids a more extended account
this week.

home. last evening, like a fugitive from
Justice. He has grown old since his de-
parture in December, 1886, and his wealth
has all disappeared in his travels around
the world. Andrews came to Naugatuck
to see his wife's lawyer, Il. G. Baldwin, and
to make amends for his silence to his fam
lily during his three years. absence. Mr..
Baldwin did not come up from New York,
as was expected, and Andrews left on foot
for Meriden lest old acquaintances should
recognize him on the trains. He tried to
find his wife before going, but she had gone
to reside with her father, Mr.. Hill,
worthy contractor of Moosup.
e. M. Andrews came TO Naugatuck with
his wife in 1881. The following summer
Mr.. Andrews was troubled with malarial
fever. and at times, it is said, showed
symptoms of insanity. He got behind in
business and became very much dis
couraged. He raised all he coul1 on his
Naugatuck property. got advances from
his father-in-4aw, A. X. Hiil, and went to
Florida. The next heard of him " as the
rumor that he had disappeared mysterIously.
His brother-in-la" w. r. Young, had gone
down to see him on Jan. 3, and learned that
nothing had been heard of him for week
or more. A reward Of $500 was offered for
any news Of him, dead or alive, and
placard containing this announcement,
with his pictu aud full description of
him, was scattered all over Florida, where
it was thought he had gone.
Attorney Baldwin of Naugatuck was
employed by the distressed wife to 60 t.
Florida and make search for him. He
had been seen at DeLand on Dec. %, 1885,
and on Jan. l, 1856. he was seen in Wight
man & Christopher's store, on Bay street,
Jacksonville. That was the last heard Of
him. so far as known. His part iers su Sc
ouently attempted to carry on the business
without him, but the year following the
whole establishment burned down, without
insurance. The evidence that Andrews bad
been murdered by some of his help was
thought to be so conclusive by the Masonic
fraternity. to which Andrews belonged,
that the 81. 900 insurance was paid over to
Mrs. Andrews.
Andrews has grown a full beard a foot
long. and is old aud worn looking. He says
his wanderings since he left Florida are
