While the wound is pot considered dangerous, it is exceedingly painful, The young man has no clge to the perpetrators of the deed, rstine and Mrs, John Calvin M. March 8 h, of Mr, sand Mr. Clay- at "Rebersburg, March Reabers- aomae Married 45 Years’ On Tuesday of last week it wad forty- five years since Rev. W. H. Groh unit. ed in marriage Miss Phoebe Weber and J. Henry Meyer, both of Boale- burg, at the home of the bride’s par- ents, ir. and Mrs Jacob Weber. This was March 15, 1866, a dreary, rainy day. After partaking of 8 wed- ding breakfast the groom and his bride atarted on their wedding trip in a carriage, the groom’s brother being the driver. The first obstacle found in the path of this young couple was placed there, so it is said by good au- thority, by John Q A. Kennedy. It was a rope fastened taut across the roadway, a common barrier in those days, and not unlooked for by these young people, The easy removal of this obstruction evidently indicated to them that all subsequent bamiers in their lives colild be overcome by the use of their best efforts, and it proved so. The first stop on this eventful honey- moon journey was at the home of the elder Felix Burkholder ; thence to Reedsville and Lewistown, where they boarded the train for Harrisburg. Two weeks or more were spent amoug relatives in the eastern counties, and then they returned to enter the struggle with the reset of mankind. They began housekeeping on a farm west of Biate College, afterwards they moved to near Centre Hall, a short time at Linden Hall, and in 1876 they located on a farm west of B oalsburg, where they continued farming for thirty years, and four years ago Boalsburg was again made their home. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer are the parents of four children, and while they have had sickness in the family, death never yet entered their home, Burley goodoess and mercy followed them all the days of their lives, as says the Psalmist, On the evening first named above, a surprise was planned and eflectively carried out by thechildren of Mr. and Mrs, Meyer, and some of the good neighbors. The couple were indue- ed to go to the old home, presided over by Miss Annie Weber, in Boals- burg, for supper, and while they were erjoying the freshly recalled incidents or almost a half century ago, others were busy in the Meyer home fitting it for the event unlooked for by the bride aud groom of forty-five years At last everything was in readiness, the room having been decorated in lavender and white, snd the figures “ 45" prominently displayed. There were bouquets of carnations, hya. cinthe avd jonquils, for an anniversary like this would pot be complete with- out the pretty, suggestive flowers. The scene upon the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer in their own home the writer will not attempt to describe, because it is impossible to do so. Elaborate refreshments were served ; there was music, recitations and speeches. Of the guests present there were but two who were at the wed. ding, namely, Miss Weber, who was but a tot at that time, and Mrs, Sarah Musser Mweeney, who was a bosom friend and all through these years continued as such, From the brothers who could not be present there were letters of regret ss well a8 remembrances, and these Intter were also received from the friends present, There was much good wishing on the part of the guests, and especially that Mr. and Mrs, Meyer should be able to celebrate their fiftieth sopiversary and others in addition. Those present were : J. H. Meyer, George E. Meyer, Mr and Mis Nevin Meyer, Mm. W. E. Gettig, Mr. and Mrs. William Motn- ersbsugh and son John Henry, Mis Anna M. Weber, Mm. J. P.

Mr. and Mrs Last week mention was made of the fact that Sheriff Harley, by command of the court, brought Jonas Foust be- fore the judge, aud that the court gave the youth over to the care of his fath- er, Lewis Foust, against the boy's will. Youpg Foust was placed in the home of Jobn Bubb, at Red Mill, by his father, but he was discontented thers, and on Monday night he arose from his bad, saying he was sick and want. ed to go down stairs. That was the last seen of him in that quarter, Rumor has it that the boy, thirteen years of age, that night went to Co burn, aud in the morning took the train at Coburn for Phoenixville, where it is supposed he again joined the Jerome Auman family with whom he had lived for three or more years, The sheriff was about Potters Mills on Tuesday, and it is sald he was look- ing for some one not old enough to vote for him for Republican county chairman, and the conclusion was drawn that that he was hunting “ Yony,” as the boys know him. i ... In times past the country listened to the call of the city, but a change both social and economic, has taken place and the country calls the city, a condition which will, no doubt, be an uplift to social and industrial condi tions in general, An example of this is the coming to the farm of Mr. and Mrs, John F, Zeigler, of Altoons, and Prof. W. F. Zigler, of pear Phila delphia, both of whom had been called to the cities a number of years ago. The brothers bpamed together with the former's wife have taken charge of the John Zeigler farm, in Haines township, vacated by Mr, Zoigler in 1880, and since which time four tenants —David Bowersox, Henry Zeigler, John Bubb, and Thomas Beholl-—have occupied the place for DEATHS, Mra.
