We made mention in the last isue of the Demoi rat that tbere would be a Family Ileuuion at the old Wright Homestead, on Saturday, December 13th, in honor of tho 00th birthday uf "Aunt Tegcj" Wright. The family reunion took place, ae cordiog to progtamme, but it proved to be much more than a family affair, for there were namerous invited guests present, including quite a num ber of aged people, and youths and children were not lacking. Mrs. Wright bad been informed that some of her neighbors and de scendants would call upon ber that dav, but ehe was kept m ignorance of the magnitude cif the aQVIr, until it gradually developed to ber vision. Children, grandcbildreu and neigh bors began to gather early, and, a little ufier nine o'clock, carriages cad buggies began to roll in from a dis tance. Descendants and other rela tives from Clayton, MudiVoo, Head ing and Hopewell townships came across by the Ilehobotb road ; and the numerous guests from Ntw Lex ington came pouring out the Deaver town road. The barnyard and public road were crammed with boree and vehicle, and the large bouse was full upstairs and down with the assembled guests. Half a dozen good cotl fires wcro booming, and the btairway leading from the firt to the fcecond fljor was frequently blocked by persons enuer to 0 up lt down. TLe New Lex ington Cornet Bind appeared on the scene about eleven o'clock, and re gaid the assembly with several of ibeir choicest airs. Diucer was auncucced a little after twelve, aud c,-ntiiU"d until &f:er three. Tables were t-pread in lie diuiiig room and cn the two b ick porches. Ttey were literally crowd ed with every thiug good t' eat, a'id tho airplay of large fiae cakes i oul 1 not easily be xrelled. Kven the good old crullers aud "taoifWiretctifs'' were uot absent. Oje of A iat I' gy'a great-graudcLildreu (aboat thirty years of aue, boever.) utter eating a banch of the 'tanleft' neatly a large as bis bead, remarked that ihey tint ed very good, but were "thia diet f.,r a laboring man It wa- a little coo! on the purert, i.f rouriie, but the j .kcs and hot CoiTe flew tbica aud ic, Ahd the diaiag was well d ne. Every once in a while, ai! the afternoon. 1a- diea were runninsr art und trying to Gud eomebndy who had not eaten, ana the Democrat representative was etrongly tempted to forget that he bad had his dinner; but he did ret-ist it and we cheerfully put it down to bis credit The day was given to handshaking and general conversa tion, and the time was well occupied. Several attempts were made to count the number of persons present, but they failed of complete huccees Thote who tried it could count until they reached about two hundred and fceventv-five; but the remainder jump ed around and run up and down stairs so they could not be numbered. It is safo to say there were three hundred present. Aunt 1 eggy was, apparently, about the least surprised of anjbody. She was highly pleased, but was as calm and collected as though none bat the members of her own immediate familv were in the house. She was in the beat of health, and got up and dressed herself before seven o'clock. When told by some of tne friends that they feared such a large crowd might muka ber nervou", she promptly replied, "Don't be the least alarmed ; I am "not one of the nervous kiud ;" and it cannot be denied that ibe understood herselt perfectly. She received manv of ber friends standing, and seemed not at all fatigued ui doing so. Sne knew almost everyboay tht she bad ever seen, aud readily recognized some persons that aha bad not met for nearly thirty years. She resides with, her sin Jackson, at tje old lamily ho(uectead, in a large two story frame house, erected about thirty-five years since. Dr. Vanatta and faroiiy, and his daughter Clara and familv, of UuiuL- town, Muskingum couuty, were pres ent Mrs. Vanatta, the oldest daugh ter of the late William William, of 'odison township, Perry counv locking almost as young and well &s when ebe came to New Lexington a bride twenty-five years ao played the exceedingly interesting part of grandchild and grandmother, in the same act. The Democrat representative knew enough about the world to realize that he was looking upon a very rare scene, as Mrs. Vanatta feat by beraged grandmother, and called her own two little grandchildren to her side It is seldom, indeed, that five generations are gathered, at the same time, un6 der one roof, as on this memorable day. SKETCH OF AUNT PEOGY. Margaret Ankeny, who, for fifty Tears or more, baa been tuown in all this neighborhood as Aunt Petri? y Wright, was born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, December 13th, 1739 Her father's name was David Ankeny: ber mother's maiden name was Elsie Hitter. Margaret Ankeny wat mar ried to Thomas Wright December 25, 1809, After tbetr marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Wright lived in Pennsylvania seven years, and until they bad three children. They then pulled op stakes at the old siome, and removed to what was then Mufkingum, but what h now Terry county, Ohio. They mov ed family and goods in a four-horse wagon, aod were three weeks on the way. It rained evtty day of their journey but three ; and they ate their meals and slept in the wagon. They crcesed the Mokiogum river at Zaoeeville on a flit boat. Tbey bait ed in Putnam and ut breakfast. There Was onlv One buUse in Putuam. , - , ' and OOt 11180 V bonea 1U AaOesVllie t, Wrinht ranturl " ' rIgl' reuieu a farm in Madison township. The farm was on the old 'State road, near where David Ream ESTABLISHED, - 1837, SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, JAX. 7, 1SS0. now uvea. i bey arrived, there in April, 1816, raised and saved a crop, ami then came I) the firrn where Auut Pejrgy ha? ever eiaca lived, and which Mr. Wrights had purchased. She has resided on this spot for sixty three years. When Mrs. Wright and her hus band came to this place, and unload ed their world's goods, neighbors wore few and far between, and the almost unbroken fortst abounded with many kinds of wild game. Doer, bear.-", panthers, wolves, wild cats, and other animals had their home a:id habitation near. There was on ly one family lived on Uaar run; Wil liam Fowler lived near where Moxa- halu now is, John Fowler, Samuel McClellaa and James Comly lived where new Lexington now is, and there were two or three houses close to where Rehoboth now is. Ileho both and New Lexington were not laid out. A bear once came and took a fat hog out of the pen near Mrs. Wright's bouse, killed it and bid it in the leav es. The bear returned in a few days and got another bog from a man by the iiskb of W. Lashley, who lived where W. Hammond now livee. The neighbors were aroused and all gath ered in with guns aad dogs. Uncle Thomas Wright had two bullets in his gun, aud aa the bear raised up from the dogs, he Gld and killed it. They hung it in Lasbley'a house, raised the puncheons of the fljor, and skiuned and cleaned i: in there, and then divided the meat. When Jere miah, one of Mrs. Wright's other children, was a hnj!l boy, he was, sent to a neighbor's, beyond Itoho-; Ooth, to get a cbeese hoop repaired Oa his return, when be got to where Nugent's coal switch is, and only j about a quarter of a'ruile from Lome, he efpied two cub bears, and, boy like, tried to catch them, wbeu the old bear raised up from behiud a 1 oz, and put its front feet up on it. Jerry mude tracks fast enough toward home nud raised the alariti. Several men gathered with guts and dogs, aud run thj b-ur down ok the creek close to wLero Ira CurroII now lives. There the bear climtd a tree, and ot.e d)x held 03 to it with his tcttn until tie wu? lifted clear off the ground and some (iiniauee up the tree. The bear was shot and tumbled to the ground Ever eiuce then ttc creek near where ttie bear was kiiieu iau been called 1'iiixr rua. 4 Aunt Pegzy haj Ltn tho mother of eleven children aid raised ten of them. She has eigrv grandchildren and ubjut eeveuty-JAe great-grand children. She has tl o five de-cend aits of the fourth gcA-ration. Seven of ber children are jh. living, to-wit : Jjtksou Wright. CsiJi'a Wright and Julia Selvy,' wife of Tbomas tfelby.ol the viciuity of New Lexington ; Mrs. .Mary Williams, widow of the late William Williams, of Madison town ship, Perry county ; David Wright aid Charlotte Koet, of Missouri; and James Wright and Susan Carroll, wife of Benjamin Carroll, of this place. Children, graadchildrea and great grandchildren are lntermurned with the families of Williams, Selby, Mc Clung, Wilson, Carroll, Groves, Yost, fleam, Vanatta, Arnold, Teal, Moel ler, Snider, Hull, Colborn, Bright, Snell, Eversole, Zeigler, Guy, Barnes, Koons, Hammond, and fully as many more, not known or not now remem bered by the writer. So it will be readilv ob.-erved, that a reunion of Aunt Peggy's descendants could be no small affair.

Wasiiixotox, Dec. 23, The Military Academy bill was passed with a merely nominal reduc tion from last year's appropriation. Notwithstanding the fact that the rauk of our miniature army i.i out of all proportion to its file, there is to be no surceaso of the gorge with which West Point has for years over stocked its official corps. Few peo ple appreciate the peculiar political iaflueuce of West Point. The Eng lish tanntour Republicanism with the rem-irk that we, too, have a peerage! of Judges and Honorables. But ibe most potent and pristocralic peerage: is that which traces its ancestry to j West Point and the Naval Academv Tte cadete, appointed by members of Congress, salaried from the day of their mv.rtculauon to the day cf their death, eviuce their gratuuJe and wise providence by marrying Con gressmen's risicr.a, cousins aud aunts, thus securing iuflueLce w hich means a becurer bold on the pn'olic freaau ry. Washington is tho paradise of the Army nod Navy ouicer. Ihey masquerade in citizen's clothes and few realize what hosts of tt-em are here. Their rank, their education, their accomii'irLmcats in all art except those of war and navigation endear them to society and facilitate tnose martial relations which have burdened the country with einecures and robbed Congre-sof its independ ence. In tne senate yesterasv mere wu a lively debate on the resolution "t Mr. Voorhee-s calling for the appai u- ment of a committee to investigate the cause of the Exodus of negroes from North Carolina to Indiana and Mr. Windom'e proposed amendment instructing the committee, in case they should fi id the cause to bd cruel and uhjust treatment of the negroes by their white fellow-citizens, to re port to Congress what steps should be taken to secure them in the free exercise of their political rights, and whether a territory should not be set apart for their exclusive use. The debate, though animated from first to last, was moderate in tone, and char acterized by becoming courtey and dignity on both sides. Congress adjourns to-day for the holidays, having accomplished much in the way of appropriations. On Friday last, the House passed the Fortifications and Pensions Appro priation Bills, the latter calling for $32,404,000. During the week Mr. Warner has asked tor information as to what came of the bi metallic mis sion to the governments of Europe, for which $20,000 was appropriated ; and Mr. Morrill for the effect on the revenue of the repeal of the dutius on tea and coffee. Resolutions have been introduced expressiug sympathy with the Irish Nationalists in their efforts for equal laws and self govern ment, and the hope that tbey may soon become owners cf the soil they cultivate; and speeches have been made over pet'tions for enriching the soldiers and sailors of the civil war by the difference betweeu the gold value of tne greenbacks in which tbey were paid and their nominal value. The President has decided to ap point an equal number of Democratic and Republican supervisors of the census of each State. This decision gives some dissatisfaction in Repub licau circles, and the President has been urged to make all such appoint ments from bis own political part v. He, however, declines to do ho, tn the ground that the lav, as it now stands, would not be fairly adminis tered if he appointed only the Re publicans. C. A. S. Indignation la Mains.

Our mutual friend, Marxwell. ought ta have sailed for Brazil, but I felt confident I had seen bim in the street. Staining said it was nonsense, and be bet me twenty pounds to a shilling I was wrong. He hardly finished speaking when Marxwell, who had not sailed, came up. Staining pulled out from his pocket book a twenty pound note and hand it to me. "There you are, old fellow. 'A fool and his money, etc' Another illustration of that wise adaga." "Not exactly ; for you don't expect I shall take your money ?" "Yes, I do ; and shall be extremely annoyed if you make any difficulty." I protested ; but presently he said, irritably, "Then bo my almoner, and give the money in charity." And he pressed the note back on me, and left abruptly. There are objections to standing in the highway with a bank note in your band and puzzled ex pression in your tace, so the bans note was transferred to my pocket, aud I went my way wouduricg, when I was met full tilt by a clergyman, whom I very well knew. "Halloa?" be cried. "Mr. Smith, both you aud I seem to have our minds so much occupied to-day that wo cannot take care of our bodies." I apologized, "No grave matter of mine," I said; "but you look sad Nothiug wrong with you or yours?" "No, thanks: but 1 have just left a depressing seeue.

He caught up to my friead and sp jke to him "That is the man," I said to my self, "whose proceedings have been dubious, aud who will, I trust, be reecued by Staining' twenty pounds.

Siniih you sure'y know human nature well enough to answer your own question. Not he not a bit of it," This little incident with plcntv of other things was soon swept away from mv memorv by a sudden call to go abroad, even to the place wcere Marxwell did not go Brazil. Noth ing hampered me theu ; I waa a young bachelor, and could start for the antipodes at two days' notice. When I take my wife and children I forget the number for our autum nal trip, in these latter days of my iife, I required weeks' preparation. Alas the change S Away then to Brazil ; atvay to new life, new scenes, new companion?, new hopes and fears ; away to for tune and the yellow fever ! Hero oc curs ia my tale a grand interval of twenty years (my story deals ia twenties!) I doubt wbetber I should have come bad not a young English lady one night sung in ray hearing aa old home ballad, so well remembered in connection with some loved ones who in this world will sing no more, that the well known craving for a native land mastered me at once, and within a very short time I was on my voyage to England. Oa the way, I had one niht a frightful dream I fancied a terrible enemy bad me on my back, and was clutching at my throat. Tighter grew his grasp, aud fainter my breath, My starting eyes scanned every feat ure of my murderer. Slowly and painfully as I was held this way, for some time it appeared did I call to miud the face before me- It was Staining but Staining reckless, des perate. I gasped an entreaty for mercy "Give it to me ; I want it ; I must have it instantly iastaatly !" Was the coarse reply. "Waat '.vhat can he meaa ?" "Wttit?" he shriekad ia a maaical frenzy. ' Wretch, my twenty pounds!" I had quite forgotten about this bet and the twenty pounds, but the dream set me thikiug of what ru mors 1 bad heard occasionally re specting Staining since I left Eng land, that his money had watted, that he had fallen considerably in position and even into poverty. I bad written to bim several times, but of late years he had not replied. "Poor fellow," I now thought, "there may really ba something ia that dream. If his pride will accept it, he shall have the money back, and very glad I shall be to restore it" Back to England. Settle down again in the old country. Main mat ters disposed ot, 1 began to think cf minor ones, and among the latter the discovery cf StainiDg ; he was not in bis former bounts, and I failed so long to find bim that I was begin ning to despair, when one night I met bim oa the street. The brilliant artificial lighttf a ball room may increase the luster of a woman's, bright eyes and ber spark ling jewels, but if you want to see a poor broken down man, decayed snd dismal, in bis worst aspect, survey bim standing under a street lamp. WHOLE NO. 14S7. drizzling rain descending up m him, and he with folded arms, presenting a picture of mute despair. So did I behold Staining. I put my band on his shoulder. He sprang from me as though I were a wi!dbea?t. "I did not want to run away," be said hoarsely, "they knew that. I'll face it I'll face it," be added trem ulously. "Go'on, I'll walk quietly enough wby what eh surely, can it be can " "Yes, ir- is Smith, your old com panion. Pray be composed. Stain iug, my friend, what is all this ? Come away, and confide in me. If you are in trouble, and money can help you, you shall not want." And 1 took his arm and we went to gether. And then I heard poor Slaining's eonfession, and it amounted to this: When he bad wasted his monev, be obtained a situation in a merchant's office. The pay, poor enough, was sufficient to keep him ; but even now nothing could restrain L;tn from gam bling oa a small scald on horse rac ing. As a consequence be was soon penniless, and wcrne dishonest. He had pud a betting debt out of a i.'20 note which the day before I met bim had been entrusted to bim.

"Manv, many thauks," replied the poor fellow to the offer I directly malefciai. "Yoa can eee the firm in the morning; but though they Lave allowed a duy t p.ii.

Briefly I stated my desire to pay the amount of Staining's de falcation, and my hope that, under the extenuating circumstances, no publicity would be given to the mis erable wrong doer. Mr. Blendon heard mo with some impatience, and, before replying, he drew out a check to "self or bearer" (I could see him do it) for a hundred pounds Haviog given this to a clerk to get cashed, be said to me, arrang ing the papers the while : "You will excuse my answering somewhat shortly. It cannot be. It is not the money we are about, but we must vindicate the law." I declare, I was half pleased at the grandiose style of his speech. How beautifully ho was walking into my net. I ventured to suggeet that in a case like this there was no impera tive call to such a course, aod tbat forbearance might rightly be shown. 'I do not see it I can't see it," answered Mr. Blendon, crcs-iog his legs with an air o! resignation, 83 as to say, "This man is a nuisance, but I must bear with hita." He re sumed : You do dot appear, sir, to observe the immense importance of punish ing delinqoency cf this kind. I would not take your money on any account. Dear no! If I were to let this man off, 1 would be ashamed of mvseif. He ought to be in custody now, and he will be very shortly. I have just overcome some foolish hesi tation cf my partner. I am always firm myself." (Not always, Mr. Blendon not when 1 last saw you. But I waited a bit. A little further I into ciy net, p!eaue) And there fore, however sorry I may be, sir, I must say NO. Dishonesty is a fear ful thing, and it must be punished. If I were myself to commit an act of this kind and " Wby did he stop ? I bowed quiet ly, and risiug said : "You are right, Mr. Blendon. Dis honesty is a terrible thing, and while not for another m.uieut pressing my request, I know y. u will forgive my calling to remembrance before I leave, a curious case known to myself. May I tell it you ? Some twenty years ago, a poor young couple, not long married, had fallen into poverty. The wife aod icfant were ill ; the doctor had ceased to attend because be was not paid. Comforts there were none Even necessaries were wanting. The husband was distract ed; be would get money; he must get money. When his young wife and infant child were well nigh starv ing, what was to be done? Stay, stay, Mr. Blendon, 1 will complete my story. The money was obtained, sir Mr. Blendon, you know how. I need not tell you tbat. But in what way was it repaid ere mischief came, aod Low much was the husband saved saved from ruin and degre dation saved to become a rich and respected merchant I Whose money saved bim? Ab, Mr. Blendon, tbat you do not know. But I will tell you ; the 20 note which rescued the husband rested only ten minutes be fore in the pocket book of this very Staining, whom you are about to prof-ecuie, strangely enough, for pre cisely the same sum. Yes, at tbat time Staining was rich, may be, as ycu are, now ; but, with bis riches, ho was a kind, charitable, Christian man. Mr. Biendon, I have a right to ask yoo, to what character do you lay claim ?" I have often thought since, what admirable advantages are a clear head and calm temper, ia the delivery of the foregoiog I had worked myself up to a white beat It was on! at the moment when be first saw my emotion. Then be rose from bis chair, and hi face flashed bat be resumed bis seat, and by the time I bad finished be was sitting as calmly almost es whea I 2tered. Tbere was a slight pause, and Mr. Elendoa aid : "You Lave acquired, sir, some knowledge (I will not say wbetber accurate or not) of aa incident ia my early life, which I'm not called upon to ili.-Tiiis. May I ask whether this knowledge is confined, and is intend ed to be confined to yourself ?' "I believe it to be confined to myself and my informant, and I have no desire it should be other wise." Mr. Blendon bowed "I will not conceal that I shall be giad for it to be an understanding between os tbat this matter does not go further. (I made a gesture of assent.) Well, then, on that footing, I will say that Mr. Staining shall be entirely absolv ed, and I will evea aid him if I can. You must, however, excuse me from taking your twenty pounds. I am obliged to ycu f-nr coming. G-Jod morning." I departed, and I must confess I felt that the enemy bad well covered his retreat, and had not left me a morsel of triumph more than be could Delp. However, my object waa accom plished ; therefore I hastened to meet Staining. He was not at the appoint ed place, and, after waiting for some time, I went to bis lodging. It was a shabby house, in a by-street, not easy to find. The landlady told me Mr. Staining bad come ia an hour ago, and was in bis bed-room not very well, she thought. She and I we:t up together, and knocked more thaa once. Thea I went ia. Poor Staining was lying on the bed, dead.

The crowd in the church was sim ply uu.tu. It was not alone that it w as a vast assemblage, although the jinterur was deu-teiy tnronged, as ! that it wa- a crowd whereof no mem- ber waa aa obscure person. The I whole garnet of notsbilities of this I island was exbaustel ; soldiers and artist.-, novelists aud beauties, poets of euber sex laterspersed among peers, fightiag-men fresh from Zulu- laad dotted among ladies whose lau rels have been won ia quite other lists. Scarcely a face but was the keynote of some memorial associa tion. Among the minor episodes of the wedding ceremony were the unac countable modesty of Mr. William Black, and the somewhat indecorous, not to say ill-mannered character of the notice bestowed on, and not wholly enjoyed by Mrs. Lan?htry. Mr. Black is of aa imposing presence. It is our misfortune, rather than bis fault perhaps, that be has been guil ty of some novels; and altogether there seemed no adequate reason for his herculean efforts to plunge him self into obscurity. It may be mild ly remarked tbat the comfortable seats in Sc. Peter's Church were ob viously intended for qnite another use than to be employed as elevated perches for people to ascend, in or der that from such coigns of vantage they might gaze with fragrant curi osity on a wholly inoffensive private gentlewoman, who bad come on the like genial errand with themselves. I live now in hope to witness the early discomfiture of that ghastly and spasmodic infliction, the wed ding breakfast. The Millaiee have courageously laid the axe to the root of that preposterous tree, which I trust will speedily utterly cease to cumber our special ground. It was a charming substitute they tendered for i' a parly that sparkled with a brilliancy ot quite exceptional ra diance. It was a field-night fur wbat has come to be called "professional beauties." All the rival queens were in the arena ; and some dispassion ately critical and impartial obsrers had ample confirmation of the view tbey have consistently held, tbat there exi-ts much greater and sweet er beauty outside than inside the pale of the conventional and accept ed beauties. Prettier roses lurk un der the foliage of private life than the blooms that flacnt the sun, and challenge admiration as if it were their right. Still the universally recognized beauties were charming: Mrs Lang try, in palest possible pink, trimmed wih black looking immensely well ; Mrs. C West, with a boquet like a five-o'clock tea table, quite the big gest I ever saw ; Mrs. Wheeler. Mrs. Makintosb, and Lady Walter Camp bell, perhaps the handsomest of all. Not twice ia a lifetime will you see so noteworthy aa assemblage as that which thronged Mrs. Millais'a reception-rooms on tbe night of Friday las:. As I looked at Willie James, ai he stood smiling reconnoitreiag I tbe church door, I could not refrain from the reflection what trifles inter vene between happiness and misery. Had that assegai which the stalwart Zulu wielded with such pith struck the lad's breast anywhere save or tbat one spot, the size of a crows piece, that was guarded by tbe siiver ornament oa tbe pouch belt, a gal lant heart would have been transfix ed, and the fair bride of to-daj would have beeo ia effect a widow without having ever been a wife. "Don't you tbink tbat a good Tile ness of me ?" says tbe pretty wife to her husband. "Very good," be an swers, "except tbat there is a little too much repose about tbe mouth."
