Quoted the exercises. 1t was de-
cided to hold the county convention

Reception of Rev. w. q. Rooms and
Bride.

Rev. and Mrs. w. G. Rooms re-
turned from their two weeks bridal
tour last Wednesday evening and
were given a hearty reception in
the church. The young ladies had
charge of the affair and were assist
ed by the young men. A large
of friends had congregated
in the lecture room of the church,
when the bride and groom were
escorted from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. 7. Reynolds where they
were guests for supper. After con-
Quoting the couple to the chancel
the friends were ushered forward
and hearty congratulations offered.
All then descended to the room be-
low and were served with ice cream
and cake. After spending some
time in conversation the friends
wendell their ways homeward and
the bride and groom were escorted
to the parsonage where everything
was in readiness for occupancy.

A Small Hurricane.

The thunder storm on last Sunday
which gathered on the western
horizon viewed from this section of
country divided over the Susque-
hanna river, the heaviest part
moving over Lancaster and Chester
counties. The portion following the
river developed into a whirling
hurricane below Port Deposit strik-
ing Perryville with terrific force.
The devastation wrought by the
wind is described by the Perryville
Record:
A peculiar feature of the storm
was that after it had blown for 10
or Is minutes from the northwest,
the wind veered around almost in
simultaneously and blew with equal
force in exactly the opposite direc-
ton for about five minutes. During
the short time the wind ragged all
the ice houses on Garrett Island
were blown down and some of the
boards from them were lodged upon
the B. & o. bridge, nearly 100 #.
above the water. The bone mill of
the Eureka Fertilizer Co., at
Frenchtown was struck by lightn-
ing, the chimney was blown off the
Presbyterian church the stack at
the Armstrong Stove Company's
foundry was blown down, about 30
large trees in Mr.. Stump's clog
woods were broken off or rooted
out, the roof of tramps retreat was
carried away, the big oak tree over
Mr.. Stump's spring by mill creek
was snapped off like a pipe stem,
and the spring house completely
demolished by the trunk of the
tree which fell directly upon it and
several large locust trees near Mr..
Stump's house were blown down,
two of them about Is yards part
were lying in exactly opposite
directions, indicating that one had
given way while the wind was on
it's first course while the other went
down after it had changed and was
going back over it's path of destruc-
ton.
Though considerable damage was
done to property and crops for
tunately no injury was done to life
or limb.

Truss Execution.

The hanging of James Fl. Truss
for the murder of Captain Camp at
Chesapeake City, is set for to-day.
The same gallows ON which Horace
Cooper was hanged last year will be
used. One out of $4,000 annually
appears to be the percentage of
Cecil countians hanged yearly.
The average ought to be higher but
the others manage to dodge the
hangman. This theory is on the
present policy of dealing with
capital criminals. Our criminal
practice, or our system of dealing
with criminals, is all wrong, is the
opinion of the most advanced
thought. 1t is the system Of ven
geance and retaliation, an eye for an
eye and tooth for a tooth, and is
no advance on the code of savage
tribes.
Almost all murders are committed
for money. A proper reform in
economic systems would almost, if
not entirely, abolish murders result
ing from that cause. The criminal
should be compelled to continue the
support of his family, if he has one,
under the supervision of the state
where humane discipline was the
rule in place of the present brutality
system. If the earnings of the
prisoners labor went to the support
of his family, where he had a
family, as in the case of Truss, or
were set aside as a fund to be given
him to help him start in the world
when released, the prisoner would
labor cheerfully and return to
society improved morally and
physically. Under the present
regime the state does its best to
cultivate his brutal instincts and if
returned to society return him an
expert Ishmaelite.

rIountS Pleasant.

We have two Mts. Pleasant in
this section of country and as both
were brought into prominence last
week strangers are liable to become
confused, lost as it were, among the
mountains. One of the Mounts is
the site of a Methodist church and
is an eminence a short mile from
Colora. This mount is the highest
point in Cecil county and. COM
mands a fine view in every direc-
ton. 1t was originally called
"Stony Batter" very appropriate
name derived from the peculiar
geological formation. The original
name was dropped as the people
became more cultivated and arti-
fetal and "Vinegar Hill" was
adopted. This was used as an
alius for while till the original
name of the elevation was finally
lost. In the course of time the
neighborhood took on a religious
hue of the emotional type, and the
place became a favorite spot for
holding religious services. Finally
a church was built, and Mt. and
Mountain being favorite names for
places prominently spoken OF in the
Bible, the name of Mt. Pleasant was
suggested by some of the more i'm
aginative minds as proper name
for the new church.
There are a number of Mts. Pleas
ant, in fact they have sprung up all
over the country, and the name
appears to be as great a favorite
for elevated spots as George Wash
ington was in earlier days for chill
dren of the male sex. 'EVinegar
Hill" was doubtless the best dis
tinguishing name and least liable
to confusion, as no other spot would
be likely to appropriate it.
The other Mt. Pleasant in this
immediate section of country is an
elevated spot on the Octoraro creek
in the proximity of "Tick Ridge"
This latter mount is a favorite picnic
ground and not a religious resort.
Both of the Mts. having been
brought into prominent mention by
religious and social gatherings last
week, each of it's peculiar kind,
this explanation of the two conspic-
uous localities. was thought neces-
sary to prevent confusion to sum-
mer boarders who are not familiar
with the neighborhood geography,
and who may post up on local
gossip and neighborhood doings so
as to be az fat in conversation.

Bladen's Point.

This "point," which is formed
by the junction of Octoraro creek
and Susquehanna river where the
former empties into the river, has
been purchased by Elisha Kirk of
Blue Ball, from the Logan brothers
of Rowlandville. Mr.. Kirk pro-
poses to build a residence on the
point, which is elevated some fifteen
feet above the water commanding
fine river view. Good bass fish
ing is afforded in the river, and in
former times excellent fishing for
shad and herring with the sein.
Dick Bladen, a colored man of con
siderable local notoriety, owned and
lived on the point, which embraced
about six acres of land. Bladen
had a private ferry between the
point and Shure's landing on the
Hartford side of the river.

Personally Conducted Tours via Penn
sylvauia Railroad.

That the public has come to
recognize the fact that the best and
most convenient method of pleasure
travel is to participate in the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's per-
sonally conducted tours, is evid-
enced by their increased popularity
with each succeeding year and the
number of inquiries in regard to
them.
Under this system the lowest
rates are obtained, both for trans
portation and hotel accommodation,
and none but the best hotels are
used. An experienced tourist
agent and chaperon accompany each
tour to look after the comfort of the
passenger.
The following tours have been
arranged for the season of 1885,
To the north Gncluding Watkins
Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand
Islands, Montreal, Quebec, Au
Sable Chasm, Lakes Champlain and
George, Saratoga, and a daylight
ride down through the Highlands
of the Hudson), July q and

compartment, and observation cars
and dining car, August ~. Rate,

Mr.. B. I'll. Brown and family
removed from Philada. to their
summer residence in Rising Sun
yesterday.
A correspondent at Lyles, Pa,
sends us a communication decribing
disgraceful scene at that place on
last Sunday by party of young
folks from Oxford. He names
several of the party, rated as ladies
and gentlemen and numbered
among Oxford's elite, and claims
that their conduct was disgrace to
themselves and their town, and
suggests that the Keely League
interest itself in their behalf. AS
neither the party nor the occurrence
were connected with our commu-
nifty, we refrain from publishing the
letter in these columns.
VIM. Fl. Elder of Elkton has pre-
scented historical records to the
Montgomery County, Pa. Historical
Society. In a letter to the presi-
dent of the society rendering the
relics, Mr.. Elder says:
| have in my possession a few
articles which / would cheerfully
donate to your society if it would
care to accept them.
One is a book entitled "Every
Man His Own Counsellor" by B. F.
Hancock, Esq, father of the re-
nowned Gen. w. S. Hancock, and
published by David Sewer, Jr., in
1881.
Twas scholar at Squire Han
cocks school when he taught at the
old stone school house on the Beth
lehem pike, short distance below
Montgomery Square. | have also
a copy of the paper called The
Truth, published at Norristown in
1s42 by the Rev. Samuel Aaron
and I. N. Hobart, both of whom
you knew and who took such an
active part in the stirring events of
those times. Also Trego's Geog-
rapy of Pennsylvania, issued in
1S43. Also Manual of American
Public Libraries, Institutions and
Societies. Also biography Of
Federal and Confederate generals,
which contains a glowing descrip-
ton of the part which General
Hancock took in the war of the
Rebellion. .....
also have sword which be-
longed to my father, Captain John
Elder, who was a soldier of the war
of 1912. He was also Captain of
military company which, I think,
was called the Montgomery Guards.
Whether my father carried this
sword in the war of 1912 I cannot
say, but I am certain that he did
have it when he was captain of the
above company, for it has been in
possession Of the family ever since.

Chautauuua Picnic.

Holmes c. l.. S. c. celebrated its second
annual picnic at Mt. Pleasant on last
Saturday. About fifty members and
friends were present to enjoy the days
outing on this beautiful spot overlooking
the Octoraro and full day of unalloyed
pleasure was the result. The view from
this elevated point, looking northward, is
one which cannot be excelled in this sec
ton, and commanded the first attention
of the picnickers, after which the boys
started on hunt for water while the
ladies busted themselves preparing the
dinner. Soon everything was in readiness
for rthe dinner and all started in to clear
up the spread, but the immense collation.
withstood assault after assault and the
company finally agreed to postpone
further attacks until evening. At the
conclusion of the dinner w. R. Bufing-
ton took snap shot with his camera and
secured a full view. The next item on
the program was descent of the bluff to
Lie GLCOh ctDOtlL nan d I1AlS DNIOW. @1AISA
arriving under the shade trees on the
bank the party was entertained by recita-
tons by Miss Saba Scott and Mrs. A. c.
Shippers and several solos by Miss Rhoda
V. Wilson.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Abner
Carter boat was procured and brought
down the creek to where the party was
waiting to brave the perils of the deep.
The boat however, was mistaken for a
street car, which will always hold more,
and was filled. to overlooking as soon as
the bank was reached. Then came the
launch,
'She starts, she moves, she seems to feel
The thrill Of life along her keel"
But at the first lurch the thrill of life"
manifested itself in a wild scramble to
keep from getting ducking for the boat
nearly capsized. Although the girls had
shown considerable agility in getting in
they beat all records in getting out. A
second trial with half the load resulted in
fine sport, with no danger of an upset.
Several Isaac Waltons were on hand and
after adjusting their lines and hooks they
pulled up the bottom of the creek and
picked off the fish, THE crop was not
very large this year, the season being too
danlp.)
AS the evening advanced, eyes were
cast longingly towards the few who had
remained at the top of the bluff, but al
though eyes could be cast up, bodies
could not, and
The sun was sinking in the west,
As up the rugged bluff they pressed,
And often stopped for breath and rest,
Before the word could be xpressed-Excelsior
At length the top was reached and
another attack made on the refreshments.
The teams were brought forth and the
merry gathering started homeward, where
they arrived after circuitous drive, tired
but happy.

Mckinley nominated on the gold platform
business would jump right up Wheat
has fallen to 81 cents, oats to II, corn to

of the horn. That ''gold standard" plat
form isn't big enough to carry old
