Quiet Wedding.

p. T. Walsh, a groceryman Of this
place, and Miss Mollie Glenn, Of Butler
county, who has been visiting at
Thomas Blacks several months, were
married in the Catholic church at 900
p. NJ. last Wednesday by Father Brady.
Miss Glenn visited in this place five or
six years ago and at that time the WOO
ing began which eliminated in a mar
riage ceremony at the time above
mentioned. Mr.. Walsh is a sober, indus
trious gentleman and will make good
husband for the woman Of his choice.
We were not acquainted with Miss
Glenn, but understand she is nice lady
and will make an excellent wife for Mr..
Walsh. We wish them success in life's
battles. The wedding was a quiet one
on account of the poor health of Mrs.
Walsh, the grocer's mother.

Narrow Escape

Ed. McCreight, son Of Thomas s.
McCreight OF Paradise, had narrow
escape from serious injury or sudden
death last Friday morning. He was
driving down Main street in wagon
and his horses were trotting along at a
good gait and when near DR.. Bowser's
residence one of the single-trees became
unfastened and dropped onto one of the
horses legs and it jumped forward and
that let the tongue drop out of the
neck-yoke. The lock would not hold
the wagon and the horses ran off, but
Ed. stuck to his post of duty. When
they got to the corner OF Main and Fifth
streets the people watching the runa-
way were Mortified for it looked very
much as II the team would run into the
Bee Hive building and Ed. would be
killed. The horses turned into Fifth
street, the wagon slid on the icy street,
the hind wheel struck the iron hitching
post and did not even up set the wagon,
although the wagon slid around quickly
and with great force. Ed. was thrown
off the spring seat but was not injured
and did not even seem to be as much
excited about the affair as some of the
on-lookers were. Half the kingdom
would not have induced the editor of
THE STAR to have been in Eds place a
half second before he was thrown from
the wagon. Everything looked favor
able for terrible accident.

An Interesting Meeting.

The meeting of the Educational
Association was we'll attended. The
program, consisting of music and the
discussion OF professional subjects, was
we'll rendered.
Miss Fuller's paper on "Hygiene in
the School Room" was a discussion OF
and remedy for the evils Of bad venti-
lation, heating, lighting, and arrange
ment Of seats OF a school room. Much
home study is usually injurious to
children as parents give little attention
to the placing of the light, position of
the child, or the amount prepared.
Children under ten years of age should
not be permitted to study at home.
As cause for most hygienic evils
Prof. Doane assigned the ignorance of
the persons who control the building of
the school room, as these persons give
little thought to these matters in the
building.
Misses White and Butler and Messrs.
Mitchell and Dempsey rendered a
selection of music which was highly
appreciated.
The paper on "The Difficulties En-
countered in Teaching Reading and
Spelling" by Prof. Hawthorne, was
well prepared.
The question box contained the follow
ing questions: "To what extent should
teachers assist pupils in solving difficult
problems?" "What is the teachers
duty to himself?" "Does zero have no
value?" SIS teacher ever justified in
using sarcasm or ridicule?" Answers
were given by Prof. Doane, Mr.. Postle-
wait, Miss Fuller, Miss Whitmore, Mr..
Mitchell, and Prof. Hawthorne.
II was decided to hold the next meet
ing in the West Reynoldsville school
building, Feb. 8, at 100 o'clock p. NJ.
The following program will be given:
Music; Vertical system of Writing, Miss
Myrta Deane; "What shall Young
People Read?" Miss Myrtle Geist;
Music; Current Events, Miss Hannah
Stauffer; Select Reading, Mr.. Clarence

Among our announcements this week
will be found the name OF Il. Neff, Esq,
of Reynoldsville, as candidate for sher-
iff. Mr.. Neff is well qualified for the
position, having had great deal of ex-
perience as constable, and Is, from what
we can learn, gentleman above re-
proach in any way. Besides this he rep
resents a section Of the county that
has not been represented in the sheriff's
office for many years; nearly all the for
mer sheriffs having been chosen either
from Brookville borough, or the south
end Of the county.-Lindsey Press.

Lost in Beechwoods.

Last Tuesday I. C. Reynolds, L. S.
McClelland, Henry Herpel and Frank
S. Hoffman, members OF the Masonic
lodge of this place, drove over to Brock
wayville to assist in taking the body of
Joseph Strauss from his late home to
the Ridgway and Clcarfeld railroad
station for the evening train to Phila-
delphia. The Reynoldsville gentlemen
wanted to get home Tuesday night, and
that was their reason for driving in
place of going on the cars. They got
home in time for dinner on Wednesday.
The evening shadows had enveloped
Brockwayville before they were ready
to leave that village. They had been
informed that different road from the
one on which they travelled to Brock
wayville was much better road They
were given verbal chart that would
have landed them safe at home, but
they failed to follow the directions
given and got lost. They awakened a
farmer near Harvey's Run and were
directed to Falls Creek, the nearest
way home. Another homeward start
was made and it is hardly necessary to
state that the Responsibilities were
surprised when they drove into Brock
wayville again about the midnight
hour. They put up for the balance of
the night and started home after day
light the next morning.
