A very pretty wedding took place at the
NJ. L. Church in New Windsor Thursday at
noon. Miss Lizzie Ensor, daughter of E. C.
Ensor, and Mr. L. l. Stouffer, son of the
late Ezra Stouffer were the contracting par
ties. Both reside in New Windsor and stand
high in the estimation of the community.
Promptly at the appointed hour, to the beau
tiful strains of Lohengren's march, as rem
dered by Miss Cora Buhrman, Messrs.
Louis Stouffer and Howard Ensor led the
way to the altar, where Rev. E. II. Burhman
performed the marriage ceremony in a very
impressive manner. As the bridal party
retired from the church Messrs. j. Norris,
NJ Buhrman, Z. Carlisle and j. Ensor sang
in inspiring tones "Hail to the Bride The
altar was most tastefully decorated with a
profusion of choice flowers, which presented
n beautiful appearance and made the air
redolent with their sweet fragrance. The
bride was neatly appareled in dark heliotrope
silk, with jewel trimmings, and hat to match.
The groom was becomingly attired in black.
Many valuable presents were received,
including useful articles in silver and glass
ware, several stands, three rattan rocking
chairs and a nice sum in money. At one
| O'Clock, amid the best wishes of their many
| friends who had gathered to say good bye,
they took the train for short trip to Wash
ington and other points. The congratulations
were many, and seemed to express the hope
that permanent happiness would be their
good fortune through life.

During the past few months there has been
a great deal of thieving done in this and the
surrounding neighborhood. Some time ago
the smoke house of Samuel Lookingbill was
entered and eleven pieces of bacon were car
ried off. Mr.. and Mrs. Lookingbill are both
very old and infirm, hence there was but
little danger of being apprehended. Corn
and chickens were recently stolen from
various other persons. On Thursday night of
last week the hen house of Reuben Weller,
near this place, was visited by thief or
thieves and 80 out of no old chickens were
stolen. Mr.. Weller and wife are both deaf,
thus making it an easy job for the perpetra-
tors. A wagon was used by the party or
parties, and it was traced some distance.
Suspicion pointed very strongly toward
several parties and they skipped the neigh
borhood. We learn the matter is being in
vestigated by the grand jury.
Messrs. B. f. Shriver K Co. are making
extensive preparations for packing large
quantity of goods the coming season. About
200 acres of corn and large acreage of peas
have been planted by the farmers in the
vicinity for their factory.
The early seeded grain in this section is
looking well. Late seeding is affected by the
drouth.
Corn is not coming up very well.
The grass crop will be short.
Quite a number of workmen are now en-
gagged upon the construction of the Reformed
Church at Silver Run and the work is being
pushed rapidly ahead.
