A Golden Wedding.

One CT the most enjoyable social
events eyer witnessed In the Beech
woods took place at the home OF MIR.
and Mrs. John Burtop on the 10th inst,
is being the celebration Of their golden
wedding.
During the forenoon friends and
neighbors from far and near could be
seen vending their way towards the
Burtop farm, and by twelve o'clock no
less than one hundred people had
assembled to extend congratulations TO
this much respected couple. AT the
noon hour as many as could sit around
the festive board at one time did so and
pertook OF the bountiful supply of good
things too numerous TO mention, suffice
drive over the bills of jefferson Co.,
inhailing the pure frosty air, everybody
present did ample justice to the inner
man.
The next interesting feature OF the
occasion was the display of many
valuable presents which was presented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Burtop by an old friend
and neighbor, Mr.. Jerry Allen, in a
very appropriate manner. in few
well chosen words Mr.. Burtop respond
ed, thanking those present for their
many evidences of sincere friendship.
During the evening number OF
young folks gathered and enjoyed q
social dance until about midnight when
all left for their respective homes
feeling that life was still worth living.
This golden wedding, being the first
that most OF the guests had ever attend
ed, they will remember It as one of the
happiest events Of their lives.
Mr. and Mrs. Burtop are perhaps as
well and favorably known as any couple
in the Beechwoods, being among the
earlier settlers Of that section They
came to the United States from England
Oct. Bird, 1854, Coming TO Tyrone and
from there to the Brooks farm. in
Clearfield Co., where they stayed but n
short time with their uncle. They
then came TO Jefferson county and
remained for three years and then went
to Newberry Port, Mass. In 1866 they
again returned to this county and settled
down on their farm where they have
permanently lived ever since. They
have one son, George, whose familiar
face can be seen upon our streets every
Saturday with his father, and the
question is often asked as to which Is
the Oldest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burtop, although over
10 years of age, are still quite active
and sprightly and the best wishes of
their many friends are that they may
live for many years, and enjoy the fruits
of their many years of hard labor.

The Jollihcation.

The Republican jollfcation in this
place last Wednesday evening was not
filed with as much political enthusiasm
as might have been expected or doubt
less would have been had the ratification
been held five or six days sooner
There was special train run down
from Rathmel which brought in quite q
number of men, women and small boys,
but few of the visitors, or people of this
place, Joined in the parade. There was
one thing the ratification did not lack
in and that was red lights, Main street
was well illuminated with red fire
during the parade.

Whom to Avoid.

People who narrate every little foible
Of a man.
People who deal scandal and unpleas-
ant gossip.
People who misconstrue and misrep-
resent the actions OF women
People who do not hesitate to wound
and who are too proud to heal.
People who cannot discriminate be-
tween cOrdiality and familiarity.
People who are quick to be insulted,
and as loath to accept apologies.
People utterly devoid of gratitude.
Coarseness exists in such natures.
People who deal in insinuatiOns,
which are far worse than accusations.
People who attend to everybody's
affairs, because they have none Of their
own.
People who tell you disagreeable
things-for malice and not prompted by
kindness.
People who deal in words OF double
meaning with the tendency to make
false impressions.

The EndeayOfeFs.

The two great religious movements
Of the last quarter of this century are
the Salvation Army and the Society of
Christian Endeayor. The latter has
recently finished at Washington the
most successful convention in its
history. One day $4,000 Endeayorers
gathered on the grounds before the
capitol, and sang the "Gloria in Elk
celsis, that ancient hymn which
through so many Christian ages has
voiced The praise and alteration of
deyout souls. Never in all the Chris
tian centuries las the GLORY be TO God
on high and on earth peace, good will
to men," which so often in histroic
churches and vast cathedrals has
surged upward on mighty tides of
melody, never has this holy song of
the early church assembled in so vast a
volume as when intoned by these
thousands of youthful voices gathered
from every quarter Of the Christian
world.
DR.. Clark is the founder of this
great latter-day movement, whose
motto is, For Christ and the Church,
whose leading motive is Christian
fidelity and fellowship. In his recent
report he presents the following
statistics:
Number of societies, 10000.
Whole mum Der of enrolled Endeayor-
ers, 100000.
Present number of active members,
100000.
These figures represent those i'm
mediately connected with this organi-
zation, which embraces all the
evangelical churches. There are
probably 100000 others who are
Endeayorers in all but name, and
connected with their own special

The Golden Anniversary of an
American technical journal is not so
common an event, but it calls for
special notice, and word of fraternal
greeting. The receipt Of the hand
some semi-centennial number of the
Scientific American, of New York,
gives US the opportunity to congratu-
late this long established and justly
esteemed journal upon the arrival of
its Golden Anniversary and the effect
i've and characteristic manner in
which it has signalized it. For fifty
years our contemporary has devoted
itself to a weekly chronicling of the
worlds progress in science and indus
try: and it is peculiarly fitting that its
semi-centennial number should con-
sist of resume Of this progress, gath
cred into succinct form, and enriched
with historical Illustration. In re-
view covering so wide a range il was
evidently mpossible-eyen i'm an issue
detail; and we think that, on the.
whole, the selection has been judi
| clously made. The broad field of
Transportation is covered by very
readable articles on the Transatlantic
Steamship. American Railroads and
Bridges, and the American Locomo-
tive: and the story of our early and
late triumphs on the seas and the
stupendous growth of our railroads
/ receives an added interest from illus
trations of historical ships and loco
motives. Achievements in the cleo
trical world are chronicled in a series
of admirably written articles, entitled
The Telegraph; The Submarine Gable;
The Telephone; The monograph and
The Electric Motor. There will not
be more popular story than that of
| the growth of the Bicycle, which ira
ces the evolution from the primitive
'bone shaker" through the interme-
date 'spider," to the safety of the
present day. The progress of Photog-
raphy is shown in a brief but compre-
hensiye article. Timely and full of
interest are the articles on the Navy
and Coast Defense, and on American
Shipbuilding. The development of
the Sewing Machine is told in the
early struggles of Howe and Wilson,
and of the Reaper in the history of
Mccormick and Hussey The growth
| of the art of Steel Making is lucidly
| explained; and condensed review of
| fifty years discoveries in Physics and
Chemistry is followed by well writ
ten article on Printing, in which
| just tribute is paid to the blessings it
has brought to the race. Mention
should be made of articles and plates
| on Men of Progress and Distinguished
Inventors, which add to the appear
ance and value of the paper. Subjects
which were crowded out of the illus
trated columns are treated in an eX-
cellent general review; and a well de-
| served tribute is paid to the inestima-
| BILE service rendered to the individual
and the country by the Patent Office.
\ specially interesting page in this
admirable number is that which con-
tains the Prize Essay on the subject
of The Progress of Invention During
the Past Fifty Years. Price 10 cents.
