Family He-union. A corrospondont

pleasant events of tbe past week tn Morris town
ship. It wat tbe re union of the relations of Mr,
and Mn. George Hoover, at their resldenoe, near
Sylvan Grove, on Wednesday, March 16. Fifty
or more relatives aistmbaltd at tht time abort
mentioned in response to tba kind Invitation of
Mr. and Mrs. II., and tn addition to tha elegaatly
prepared dinner (which waa of course the Uad lag
feature of t&t occasion), the time was spent very
pleasantly In the reviewing of past rcmlniaoenoti
conn so tod with th history of the Hoovers and
tha early settlement of Morris township. Thirty
six grandchildren of Mr. and Mn. Hoover were
present, and formed an attractive feature of tbe
occasion. They were proportioned as follows.
Peter Moirts, 4; Altx. Halsten, tf Anderton
Luts, 8 ; Alex. Hoover, oj Jackson Hoover, 7;
Isaiah Hoover, S; William Corley, 1. The vener
able John B. Kyler, brother of Mrs. Hoover, and
who Is now in bis 7 6 lb year, was present, and
added much to the entertainment of the guests.
All in nil, H was an oecaalon of great tatlafaotlon
and plrasuro, and when tha time for separation
came, all left with lingering wlshea for tbe future
health and hep pi oess of tht aged couple, whose
kindness bad oontrlbuted to the pleasure char

Land Titles. An exchango puis

in this neighborhood dealroui or making In rest

fully tximiaa tha title deeds that ara offered
them. Within a few days an extensive conspiracy
for the manufacture and sal of forged land titles,
with its ramifications U Pittsburgh, St. Lonis
and Cleveland, bai been nnearthed. Some of
ibett opera tiont art alleged ta data back as fir
at iStfO, tinea which tlms forged deeds covering
millions of acres of land In Missouri have been
uttered. Tba frauds were perpetrated under an
act of Congress In IBM by which land was granted
In tracts not exceeding 320 acres to actual settlers
at from twelve and a half oents to one dollar an
acre. Speculators got control of tbe lands by
hiring men ta take grants nnd forward proofs of
settlement. During tha rebellion tbe portion of
Minourl whloh bai since been made the field of
Ibis land oomplracy wat much disturbed, and
when the war closed few of tbe original patentees
under th act of 1854 remained. Soma wort killed
and tome were driven off. Fraudulent transfers
were then made of their landa and the papers
filed in tbe Depart mint at Washington. Thou
sands of these fraudulent titles have passed Into
tba bands of hontit purchasers. Tbe United

MY ANSWER.
Mauih 10th, loSl.
EoiToa RtpraucAl Dear Sir i Itrustyoa will
give me space to answer the parvenu editor of tba
Vitieen. 1 don't have to answer for the lie tbe
Cilieem man published lait week lo his patent
newspaper, when he stated that he had discovered
the author of the article from "On of the Boys."
I always pity tbe "poverty of aa editor'! brains
that la eternally bealing tha threshed straw of
dead issues." It mast be heart-rending to bis Im
becility to tpend to muok of hia time writing
fictitioua articlea about tha Superintendent, out
or pure jealousy and merely to defeat a good man,
and then to diieover tbat they carry w Ufa them
no weight whatever ; but Instead a self-connecting
contempt for the writer and publisher by tb
citisens of t'learaeld eoonly. His argument ara
like chaff thrown to tbe wind "one blaat, then
gone forever."
lo anawer to bit laat claure, I would almply
say I am not in the least ofieoded by what he
has said about me, when I eonalder the sou roe. I
can easily forgive a man that Judged all others
by himself, and would only remiod my dear
friend that my cbarae'er Is not so low as tba
man's that made tha nightly and miraculous
escape out of Raynoldivlltt a few years ago.
