Creex we mean and alter the trembling,
blushing couple bad been pronounced one

bis lips over bis fourth class of toddy
blame not the lips through which they
drank good apple whiskey, it war the cus
tom of the limee and, with bis "deer-born
beaded canu" in hand, taiieo bis departure,
the girls and boys "grew brisk," and the
cheerful laugh rang out and mock wed-
dings went on and all partook in the least
and the frolic old and young matron and
maid and all were, or seemed to be, "gay
and happy." But now, forsooth, in Ibis
day of steamboats and locomotives, the girls
aru married flying; the dominie can barely
get out "I pronounce you man and wife,'
when off the happy twain go, as If they bod
been committing some unpardonable offence
and were scampering from juatloo. "Wba1
ails tba oU Huron (!) Are tbey too despot
tely happy to spend a week or so at home?
Do tuey leel ashamed of their folly, and run

Hindus of a railway tiaiu?" Well, cupid is
bimaell a winged rogue, "let those who ken

fly from bliss. "But I would" says the

manner of celebrating .village weddings

and yot it Is none ot my business." Young
people will do as tbey please in such mat
tersand this, perhaps, may be a plan of
the girl; if so, we have uotblug to urge.
The girls are masters after all.
Borne vaudal recently eutvred tba englue
bouse of Mr. Jamts Devlin, on ths Buxton
farm, Upper (Benneboff Ruu, and knocked
off tho brass cups, stop cock', valves, and
everything moveable about the machinery,
also Biuastiing the sleum gauge. The break
lug up appears to bavo been done out ot
pure maliciousness. lie is of the opinion,
the opiuiun that some of the Cherrytree
gang committed this act of vandalism. If
caught t be scoundrels should be punished
severely.
Our towns u an, Mr. James Devlin, has
removed bid rig on the Buxton farm to a
lease on tho Bowman faim, Upper Baone
hoIT territory, and is about lo put down a
new well. The Bowman (arm is but a
short distance from the big well rocently
struck on the Hamilton lurrn by Bailey &
Gilinore, u! Titusvllle. This well Mr. Dev
liu iuforuis us bus not been rightly uiaoau

barrels daily. There Is thought to be con
eiderable good territory in that neighbor
hood by experienced operators.

in inircli.
One of the most alarming cues ot aom
ambulism with which wo are funiliar Is
that of the privsa package boy who operates
OJ the Norrlstown Railroad in Philadelphia
By some extraordinary combination of c'r
cumstaoce this oiiild of sin was induced to
go to churoh a lew Sundays ago, and while
listening lo the sermon he fell asleep in the
back pew where he sit. There had been a
Sunday school moutin there before church,
and all the Bibles and mlss'onary nowapa
pers were piled up in that particular pew.
Suddenly the remorseless young orphan
picked up a bundle uf .tbo papoia in his
sleep aud begun to walk up the nis'.e
throwing oue in each pew as ho went along.
When he got under tbe lee of the pulpit be
topped Bnd waited two or three minutes.
The minister looked cross-eyed at him and
glared at him through bis spectacles, but
the young brigand was uuconscious. ibeo
be glided down tba aisle and amassed tbo
congregation by removing tbe papers iroin
each pew. When be raacbeJ tbo rear bo
seized an armful of Bibles, and rambled up
tho aiale again, tossing luera at the occu
pants of the pew. Resting agsjn under tbo
pulpit, aud wholly indifferent to the clr
cumstanco that the cle.-gyuun'a eyes again
were out of their natural straight position,
and wero making bis spectacles look like a
doubled barrelled locomotive head lisbt,
tho Inlant brizaud pranced down tbe aisle
tbo second lime yelling "Here's prize pack
ages, only ten cents; each one contains a
prize worth from too cents to ten dollars!"
and grabbing for the Bibles at'be proceeded.
The miointer waved bis Land at oue of the
deacons; tbe deacon and thn exton charged
on that boy, and tbe organist talis us that
tbe three scudded down tba tboiofaru at '.he
rate of Gftoon LqoU su hour, while tie sex
ton shook tbe bo; up, and tbe deacon boxed
his ears, aod wished it was not wicked to
swear. Than they took lilm up Into tbe
steeple and killed bim. We are not certain
that tbey killed bim, but we think they din1,
ol course, for that ia tbe only way in wh icb
he could be kept quiet. Wo wootd have
butchered bim long ago, if we could only
have got bim alone in a steeple somewhere.
