A HAPPY UXIOK.-A very pleasant
occMion wns the wedding ceremony which
occurred in the Preebyterlen church last
Thursday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, between
Mr. Oharlea Cromley, of Huntingdon, for
merly of the Bush House, thU place, and
Mia* Kate McClellan, one of Bellefonte's
handsome daughter*. At an early hour
tho commodious auditorium of the church
was well filled, and all waited the appear
ance of tho party who were to complete the
tableau. The opening nolea of tho "Wed
ding March" caused the congregation to
slightly transgress the rules of true propri
ety and turn their eyes to tho entranco on
the north corner of tho church, where such
parties aro accustomed to make their en
trance and exit. First appeared our friend
Mr. John Linn, and on his arm Miss. Kate
l'owers,a fine-looking blonde, with a dress
of rich silk and bonnet to match. Next,
with a military air, came the the tall,
handsome and dixtingue form of Mr. Al.
German, while at his side was Miss Lir.xle
Coble, a petite brunette. A brown silk
dress and dark bonnet heightened her style
of beauty. A constant smile illumined her
face and she attracted much admiration.
Last, but most important on this occasion,
ramo Mr. Charles Cromley, the groom, and
his fair bride. On these the eye* of all
"looked and lingered and yet delighted to
linger," and might easily ham looked all
the afternoon without wearying. Dress
and all other appointment* of tho happy
couple seemed to be complete. After
ranging themselves around the altar, they
were met by Rev. William Laurie. A
short prayer, words of instruction to both
bride and groom, the formal words of the
ceremony and tho closing prayer, followed
by word# of congratulation from tho minis
ter completed the exercises in the church.
During tho ceremony the groom looked
directly at tho minister, with occasional
glance* at his bride, and responded in a
distinct tone of voice ; the bride's eye#
modestly sought the floor, but her responses
were also distinct. The party filed out of
the church in the reverse order from that
in which they entered. From the church
they were driven to the residence of Mr.
Isaac Mitchell, where the time was occu
pied in roceiving congratulations and par
taking of the elegant collation prepared for
them. Tho happiest couple that boarded
the 4 : 80 train that afternoon was Mr. and
Mrs. Cromley. They visited the groom's
home in Pittsburg, and We wish them not
only a pleasant honey.moon, but arontinu
ance of happiness throughout their lives.
"HI THAT HATH EAR* TO HEAR LET
HIM HEAR." —How many excellent ser
mons are delivered every Sunday, and for
gotten by the header* I Many of our cler
gymen spend hours of thought and labor on
the preparation of their discourse*. A sin
gle half hour is sufficient in which lode
liver them, and after that they are laid
aside and perhaps never touched again.
Rev. John Hewitt, of the Episcopal church,
preache* short sermons, but they are in
reality gems of literary excellence. I.a>t
Sunday morning the above text formed the
subject of his discourse, and was treated in
a masterly manner. He quoted an extract
by Bishop Jewell illustrative of the supe
riority of tho Bible over all other literature.
He showed that the text in question was of
simple meaning; that there are two ways
of hearing the Word, and he only truly
hears who also determine* to follow its
teachings. Here he alluded to the Sphinx
and Pyramids of Egypt, the inscriptions on
the side* of which were, for so many gene
rations a mystery to man, until science,
which he said is "the true reserve force of
revelation," came to hi* aid. The remain
der of his sermon was equal to the opening ;
but as we are unable to do justice to it by
quotations, and as tbey are all of an equal
ly high standard, they should he heard to
be appreciated.
—The crowd of boys nightly attracted '
to the comfortable heal and choice reeding
matter to be found in the Y. X. C. A. I
room i* increasing. A good feature about
it i* that the claaa of boys most in need of 1
such accommodations come eagerly. Boys, 1
adranced in yean but who cannot read a
word, whose only training has been what
they receive on the street, come and scan
the Illustrated papers with wonder, and de
part with a resolution to learn to read. On i
Friday night last when we were there we
saw twenty-seven together at one time,
and were informed that frequently as high
as forty are congregated there. When you
remember that these are the youngsters
that generally make things "howl" when
on the street at night, some slight idea of
the good accomplished may be arrived at.
flome of our philanthropists should pay
the room a visit these evenings, and we can
assure them that the sight will do their
hearts good.
—The Lock Haven Dally Journal says
that the "old maids" down there have
formed a solemn compact to pull Al. Orow's
hair out if ever be cornea there again.
Don't go, Al.; don't go. Remain in Belle
fonte, and thank your stars that the females
around here are not so venomous.
—Penn Hall had a musical convention
last week under the direction of Prof. J.
A. Weaver. The concluding concert on
Friday night was an occasion long to be
remembered, and the happy strains of
music Mill linger in the ears of those who
were there.
—John A. Wagner improvised a restau
rant of the Court House stoop on Tuesday,

—The student* of State College are en

di*cour*e wa* given by Prof. William
Buckhout and I* *pokcn of in onthu*latic
term* by lho*e who had the ploaauro of
hearing it. The gentleman took for hi*
•übject "Prodigality of Nature,'* and
treated till*excellent topic with great akill.
The Professor's description of primeval
forests, especially tho of Trinidad, We*l
Indiea, wa* unutually flue. For a ihort
time the atudenU and the neighbor* from
tho immediate vicinity who were in at
tendance felt that they were in reality
viewing tho *ea of green foliage and
abundant animal life around them, inntead
of ailting an they wore upon the hard Chap
el *oat*. Tho mu*ic which enlivened the
occaalon wa* furni*hed by Prof. Garwood,
and well received. The student* would en-
Joy these Wednesday evening lecture* more
could they always listen to deliverances
cqurl to this last by Prof. Garwood.
Last Friday evening tho Washington
Literary Society, of Stale College, gavo
their usual Friday evening |>erformance.
Tho ordinary orations and a very lively
dubato were tho attractions. In tho do
halo Mr. Tail had tho nlfirmitive, tho neg
ative being defended by Mr. T. Fulton.
The contest wa* close, a* all contest* seem
to bo of late, and for soma time tho result
wa* uncertain, but Mr. Fulton closed
lit* *|>eoch wilh some admirable and which
proved to hi* opponent unanswerable ar
guments, and so the debate wa* decided iu
lII* favor. If Mr. Fulton continues to
improve at the rate ho ha* since bit en
trance to the College, ho will prove a strong
advocate of Democratic doctrines and be
able to overcome tho best-supported Re
publican heresies, should ho ever enter tho
political arena.
—The Lutheran minister of Pine Grove,
Mr. Kroier, while returning to hi* home,
a few days since, met with a serious acci
dent. Hit borse, having frightened at
some object, became unmanageable, and
after throwing the gentleman from his
seat in the sleigh, tore down the pike at a
terrific rate. Upon reaching tho wood*
above Pleaant Gap the sleigh becamo
wedged between two small trees, stopping

—About mid-night on Tuesday, or early
Wednesday morning, the people of this
place were aroused from their slumbers by
what is of late very seldom heard in this
community, the cry of "Fire." Hmoke

shoe establishment of our friend, Loui*

oppoita the Bush lloum>. The employe*
of the Republican office, which U just
overhead, were finishing up their night'*

made with a train one yard in length. The
contracting partiea have our be*t wLhee
May a life of unalloyed happiness attend
them.
—Wm. P. Duncan, of the firm of Dun
can, Hale A Co., paid us a visit on Satur
day. We were very glad to *ee William,
but *orry to hear that an item in our last
very much depreciate* the importance of
that large firm. We generally try to get
thing* large enough, but when we said
that during the month of January they
received on* thmuand bushel* of wheat we
came very short of the mark. They of
ten receive that much in two days, and
have no doubt tbat they sometime* receive
on* hundred thousand in a month. At
least, they will receive all that is token to
them, if it is good.
—Last Wednesday George Hoffer, of
Centre Hall, told hi* farm stock at public
•ale. The sale was well attended and most
of the stock disposed of. A three-year
old colt and an Kxceltior reaper were
among the things for which a purchaser
was not found. These are still offered for
tale, and person* can aacura n bargain by
calling on Mr. Hoffer. The reaper I* raid

smoke, would do well to try some of bis

—An exciting and a somewhat disastrous
afTair, especially In its consequence* to Mr.
Llngle, who lives near Milesburg, occurred
on Wednesday evening of last week. Mr.
Lingleand hi* little eight-year-old son were
returning from Oullefonte in a buggy,
when, after passing McCoy A Linn's iron
works, the horse which they were driving
took sudden fright, threw Mr. Llngle from
the buggy, and dashed on toward* Mr.
Lingte's homo with the boy still in tho
buggy. Upon reaching the barnyard the
horse is said to have leaped tho bars, over
turning the buggy in tho attempt, and do
]>o*iting the boy upon a bed of straw safe
and sound. Mr Linglp, u|m being picked

—Mr. Charles Kyan, who was so very
unfortunate a* to have his eye injures] some
time since while in the employ of William
P. Duncan A Co., at their machine shop#,
departed on Wrdntsday week for Philadel
phia. Since the accident hit other eye has
ben suffering, and f-aring he would lose
his sight entirely, he resolved t<> place
himself under skillful treatment. The first
new* heard of him was slightly discourag
ing, but on Monday his brother received a

finely, which means that the light of one
eye will be restored, Although <>no eye is
gone, yet the recovery of the other will bo
cheering news to bis friend*. H<-is a good
mechanic, and as such a valuable member
of tbe community.
Death has one more victim which we
are obliged to record this week. It wa* for
a long lime since known that Mr. S. W
Beck, formerly connected with the Philips
burg Journal, wa* in ill health, and as a
result of thi* he, a few month* ago, severed

it ready for occupancy. The Philadelphia
penitentiary i* now in an overcrowded con
dition, and the in*litution i* very much
needed. Rent* hava advanced in Hunting
don in view of protpective buy time*.
—A* a people we are becoming o very
m<>de*t of late that something must be done
to check It. The heir* of the Van Horn*
and Anneke Jan* are now fighting for
property situate in New York and Holland,
valued at only two hundred and fifty mil
lion* of dollar*. Their claim* being *o
very moderate, they should by all mean*
secure the property. We do not know
whether Centre county can lay claim to
any of these modest people or not.

a mistake, but we do not remember to have
seen the name of J. Wesley Gephart con

A CIBTOKIJOCB* OUtD dCRT ' AMD WIT
FROM TUB CAXI nILM.
Nrnr Ok i.ba mb, February 13.—The po
litical prosecution* in th* United
State* District Court for tlii* district are
becoming serious. Already indictmenla
against nearly a hundred prominent
Democrat* bare been found, with prom
ilea of many more. The Grand Jury,
largely composed of men holdfng offi
rial position* in the Cu*tom-llou*e and
other* intimately connected with the
Republican party, ha* been organized
for a special purpo-e arid ii doing it*
work well. The evidence on which the
indictment* are obtained ia not worthy
of credence. The witnesses are ignor
ant negroes, who are brought to the
city at the expense of the Government
and paid s'i jn-r day for nuch time a*
they may be away from borne. W hen
it it remembered thut these tne,n rarely
receive more than $22 |>er month for
labor in the cane or cotton field, it can
readily be een how easy it ia for the
representative* of the Government to
ootsin men to swear to anything. Vou
have but to viait the first field you
crime to to obtain men who for 93 a day
will swear, if the exigencies of your case
require it. that they themselves were
killed by Democrats on election 'lay,
and that they have been restorer! to life
l.y Divine inter|rf>*ition to bring the
guilty to justice. And it is with instru
ments such as these that the present
Administration i* doing its work. Un
der the present law the test oath is ad ,
ministered to all jurors, and such as
cannot take this oath are not qualified
to serve. Outside of the Custom House
there i* scarcely a man in the .State who
can subscribe to this oath, and there is
certainly not a man in the Custom-
House who is fit to try men for crimes
alleged to have been committed against
(he dignity of the R-publican party.
The zeal of the District Attorney and
the United States Marshal seem' to be
inspired from Washington, and it is
sai'l that their retention de|*ends on ob
taining convictions. It is estimated
that about thirty of the more promi
nent among those arrested will be con
victed. Loungers about the Custom-
House will let that General King,
Congressman elect from the Monroe
district, instead of taking his seat in
the next House will be sent to the I'en*
itentiary. He defeated l.udeling, and
his arrest and prosecution were insu
gated by his dissp|>oiuted and vindic
tive opponent. 'J he General is a man of
education and culture and the last man
in the world to have committed the
crimes charged against him. Ilia aocial
po'ition it the best, and to talk ai<out
bis having intimidated the voter* of his
district is sheer rubbish.
—"Where shall we rest ?" asks a relig
