Laying of the Corner Stone.
Tho ceremony of laying (ho Corner
Stone of the State Hospital for the In
sane at Warren, came of last Thursday,
persuant to previous anouncemcnt.
The Warren Mail says;
Gov. Hartranft and the Commission,
consisting of Dr. Curwcn, Dr. Corson
and Gen. Beaver, were present. Dr.
Curwcn, tho Secretary, came two days
before, and Dr. Corson, tho President,
missing a traiu, arrived late in the day.
They were aJl guests of Mr. Sunderland
the Superintendent of construction, who
lives in the fine old Falconer house on
the farm near the new structure.
The day was fair but very hot and
dusty. The crowd in attendance ex
ceeded all expectation, being variously
estimated from 5,000 to 10,000.
The Meadville band made fine music
for the occasion, and the Youugsville
band catno with the delegation from
that place.
Soon after 12 order was restored in
the uneasy crowd by Marshal Parmlee
and his assistanls when Judge Brown,
Chairman of the Committee on Recep
tion, introduced General Beaver to pre
side in the absence of Dr. Corson, the
President of the Commission. After an
appropriate prayer by Rev. W. A. Ran
kin, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in Warren, he made a few brief and ap
propriate remarks inaugurating tho cer
emonies of the day.
Then Gov. John F. Hartranft was
introduced and spoke briefly but appro
priately, as follows:
GOVERNOR HARTRANFT'S ADDRES3.
Fellow Citizens: We are here
to-day to lay the comer, stone of a new
hospital lor the insane. When this
structure has been completed it will
mnko the fourth edifice of the kind
within the Commonwealth, the fourth
great monument ol her beneficeuca and
charity. Is there a more fitting chan
nel through which tho current of her
bounty nud benevolence could flow;
No scientific or social problem has been
more perplexing than tho treatment and
care of the insane, and modern civiliza
tion has given no more striking and no
ble manifestation than the earnestness
with which the world addresses itself to
the solution of this problem.
Pennsylvania, alive to her duty in
this regard, with unstinted hand has
given the means to erect these large and
commodious hospitals. No part of the
policy of the State has reflected more
honor upon her citizens than the munifi
cent provision 6he has mads for her in
sane, and it is a satisfaction to know
that this beneficence so creditable to her
mind and heart, has not been misap
plied, and that much aud permanent
good has been accomplished by this
cbaritablo work.
We owe it to ourselves and to society
to see that no backward step is taken in
this humane purpose, and that whatever
skill and Eciccce can afford for the alle
vation and euro of insanity shall be pro
cured. Bereft of reason, unable to sup
port themselves, incapable of enjoyment,
and often inclined to frenzy and vio
tence, the helplessness of the insane ap
peals to our sympathies, and publio
safety demands they should not bo left
unguarded.
Our presence here is an earnest of
our intention to prosecute still further
this great and good work, and I assure
you I esteem it a privilege to take part
in these proceedings, and to share with
you in the hope that the building that
will heie rear its magnificent proportions
may bo productive of great benefit to
the uufortunate class for whom it is
designed and that within its walls those
entrusted with the care of its inmates
will ttcqure such skill and information
in the treatment of the insane as may
bo of service to humanity everywhere.
The Governor then stepped down on
the platform around tho stone, applied
the level and beclared the stone level
and plumb. It is a large square stone
on the North-east or right band corner
of the front entrance to tho structure.
The master-mason, under the direotion
of the Architect, applied the mortar
with a new silver trowel when the box
was placed in the cavity and the upper
part of the stone, laying on rollers, was
shoved into place. The Governor ap
plied the mallet to the four corners, and
the job was done.
Hon. Gleni W. Scoiield, delivered an
able address on the occasion, which for
want of space we are forced to omit.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Anniversary Surprise.
Penfield, Pa., Sept. 0th, 1874.
. The 4th inst., was from a very inter
esting occasion, rendered notable in our
community, It was the occurrence of
the 33th anniversary of the marriage ol
our very popular and highly esteemed
neighbor John Hewitt, Esq. An event
which bis kind children felt to be of
sufficient interest to them, to invite
without hia knowledge, his brothers and
sisters, and as many of bis old friends
as they could comfortably entertain, in
oelobration of it. Therefore cards were
issued, and with a ready personal re
sponse, all the forenoon they cauib driv
ing up and down tho road to surprise
him who was to be for once, as hospit
ably entertained at his own house as he
had always entertained his friends. By
this time, however, ho understood what
his children, in the kindness of their
hearts had planned and brought to pass. I
rru tt r n ., I
j.uu jicwui iamuy is one ot tne
oldest und largest of the county. His
father aud mother, Ebenezcr and Sarah
Hewitt, came with threo small children,
Luciuda Mrs. Stephen Bunday, Wil.
liam and Jeremiah, from Saratoga
County, N. Y., 55 years ago, and settled
on a tract ot 400 acres and built a log
house for themselves, a few rods
back of the site now occupied by
the homestead of our friend. They
were tbo first settlers of all this region,
up and down thn Bennetts Branch, and
remained so for many years. And dur
ing all this time Mrs. Hewitt and her
daughter did tot see a white woman,
their noarest neighbor being then at
Benczotte. Tho friendly aborigines
of the great forest country, wero the
only human beings that, for years, they
saw near their home. What hardships,
trials, and serious deprivations they uius.
have suffered in their pioneer life!
After their coming there were born
unto them eight children all but two
are living, and, with one exception, re
side respectively from a quarter of a
milo to twelve miles from tho old home
stead. Of these John, our yuett, was
married to Miss Arvilla Brown, of this
place, September 4th, 18o0. To them
there were boru five children who are
all, with one exception, living in this
vicinity. Four yeurs ago Mrs. Hewitt,
a most excellent lady, and universally
beloved, was called away by death after
being married 84 years. Mr. Hewitt,
besides being father to five, is grand
father to eight, and great-grandfather to
one. An now by this some may get the
impression that ho is an old man; far
Irom it, he is one of our vigorous, well
preserved men, and as young iu the
spirit aud of as active life at 51) as most
men 20 years younger. His youth like
the eagle's seems to be renewed year by
year, so that some of us remarked, on
that day, that he looked even younger
than iu years ugo.
The day was a beautiful one and of
delightful temperature. His fine large
house was soou over-crowded, und
tho wider raugo of the pleasant yard
was giveu; and there with chuirs,
benches; with tables fairly groaning
under their burdeus, together with au
assemblage of ago and wit, youth and
beauty, the social festivities wero en
joyed (o the full. Finally, that famous
row of apple trees, aud that more la
mous row of eaters, which lined either
side of tho tables many rods in length,
was altogether the liveliest assemblage
of respectable people, of all ages, we
have witnessed for a long time. Mirth,
good-humor, repartee, and general and
unexceptionable glco reigned triumph
ant, The whole affair was a success; and
may he live to receive the honor and
affection of his family and friends many
years to come as, he has in the past.

Mormon Precept and Practice -Brigbam
Young's affidavit in the di
vorce case pending against him, brought
in behalf of Ann Eliza Young, does not
coincide with his publio teachings. In
it. he declares solemnly that he has but
one wife, while in bis published sermons
we find that he not only admonishes the
faithful that polygamous marriage is a
duty, but commands that the women of
his flock shall submit to it cheerfully.
Exactly how he can reconcile this ap
parent inconsistency it is bard to under
stand, but it is probable that he will
maintain that the proceedings in the
Gentile court, under Gentile laws, are
not binding upon his Mormonship, and
that in consequence he was privileged
to take some latitude while making tbe
oath referred to.
