The accident which befell Rev Alvin P. Knell, pastor of the Methodist Episco- pal church iu this place on Wednesday, February 27, in Brooklyn, N. r., got badly ''twisted'' in the columns of most of the New York City dailies. The New

RUMoRs OF WEDDINGS.

There are rumors of one or more spring weddings in the air. Perhaps the inter- est shown by the press of the country in the wedding of Miss Anna Gould to her titled but inpecuninus Freuchman, may encourage more of our Kent young peo- pie to venture into the state of matri- mony There may nor be as much money at the disposal of the Kent young people, but we feel safe in predicting that there is quite as much happiness in store for them in married life as for this estimable young American woman wbo has seen it to go abroad for a titled spouse, especially if her marriage turns out as too many such matches have done in the past.

The Prophet of THE BEE in this watch tower has been dumb for some weeks, but as the dumb. devil has been duly ex- ercised by the editor of THE BEE, and cast out, we are able to resume our prophesying, as followeth, to wit, namely:
 That
 The farmers hereabouts, having seen some of the never known to failn signs, will soon begin to tickle their land tor crops.
 That many will not heed the lessons of the past and will endeavor to raise as much to bacco this year as formerly. That many who do will next year complain Of the "hard times" as they have been doing tor the past indefinite period If time. seem 10 be sufficient, nor will it be in the flu ture.
 That you cannot tell by the size of a toad how far hell jump, nor by the size of hat g man wears how much brains he has,
 The above may be continued on and forward in our next; as for village news. the Prophet finds a few items to chron- icle.

Facing Both Ways.

When the Populist press is clamoring for free silver, it claims that low priced products are an injury to everybody but the owners of gold, and that the 16 to 1 swindle would help the people by dou- bling the price of everything they buy. But when the same papers come to de- nounce trusts and monopolies. they do so on the ground that those combina- lions of capital restrict trade and put up prices. Thus the Coal trust has been generally condemned by the Populists because 1t raised the price of coal 50 cents per ton. But free silver would make ton of coal cost just double what 1t is now. If higher prices in the interest of trusts is such a bad thing. why would they not be equally bad in the interests of the silver barons?
