New Depot Proposed.

A rumor Is current to the effect that
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad will erect a new depot and
freight house on Luzerne avenue, West
Pittston. At present there are two
depots, one at each end Of the borough.
although freight is handled at but one
of them.
Luzerne avenue is midway between
the two present depots and the erec-
tion of depot at this point would give
a more central location and would be
a great convenience. Such plan has
long been talked of in this vicinity and
its contamination should be no sur
prise. judging from the fact that the
new management is making improve
ments all along the line.

The Scotland penny weddings were
so called, although the guests con
tributed shillings, and occasionally
half-crowns, toward the wedding feast.
The penny wedding Of Germany Is on
a different basis. The bride receives
her guests with basin before her, in
which everybody deposits a jewel a
silver spoon, or piece OF money. In
some parts OF Germany the expense OF
a marriage is met by each guest paying
for what he eats and drinks, and,
moreover, at very high rate, so that
the young couple thereby obtain a
sum sufficient TO start them nicely in
life. AS many as 300 guests often
