No more pleasant incident has for years
come to the citizens living along the bor
der line of Jenner and 4 lomahoniug
townships than occurred on Wednesday,
tho l'ith inst. The occasion was lbs sev
enty-third anniversary of the birth of Da
vid Itowuiau, one of tbe highly-esteemed
citizens of the community. Within a few
days Mr. Bowman's intention to leave
the farm and go to town ba been made
known to bis old neighliors, and they all
seemed to vie w ith each other in Ihtir at
tempts to make bis last birtbdny iu bis
old home the most pleasant of hia whole
life. About leven o'clock a. nt as Mr.
Bowman and his good wife were busily
engaged gathering together articlrs to be
sold at the public vendue that is adver
tise 1 for a week later, they were surprised
to see several of their neighbors drop in.
arrayed in their "Sanday-go to meeting
fix-ups." In a few ndnu'r? others arri
ved, and inside a quarter of an hour from
the time of the arrival of the first, evrry
foot of space in front of tbe dwelling was
taken up by some kind of vehicle, and
baskets without numler were being un-
oaded and transferred to tbe kitchen.
Mr and Mrs. Bowman were very soon
given to understand that they weie to act
the part of guests, and to be entertained,
rather than to be burdened with tbe duty
of entertaining others. By twclveo'clock
the large table, arranged to extend from
one to the other of the spacious dining-
room, was loaded with the choicest fruits
of the land, the bill of fare embracing al
most everything that the earth, air or sea
is capible of producing to meet the wants
of man. While at the table the writer
took cx-asion to note the preseuce of the
following named persons: Rev. Wetzell
and wife, Jonas Manrer and wife Aaron
Iilough and wife, Thomas Gallagher and
wife, Cornelius Alexander and wife, Ma
thias Alexander aud wife, Lavan Bow

in Cunningham, Mrs. William Maurer,
Mr. Hairy Pile, Mrs. Orten D. Barnet,
ud Miss Madie Critehfield. Whether
any escaped without being counted is not
certainly mown.
After dinner a fow hmrs were spent in
very pleasant social intercourse, the con
versation taking quire a w ide range, ein
bracing the subjects of religion, morals.
civil gove-nment, politic and education.
At fiar o'clock R v. Wetzel, th9 pastor
of the family, called the company togeth
er, and after reading in a most impressive
manner the ninetieth Psalm, be engaged
in fervent prayer that the same hand that
led our friend aud neighbor from cbild-
ho-xl up through the years of his most
active manhood to the point attained be
youd the "three-score years and ten"
might lead all who were present safely
through the journey of life, and at the

An Elegant Church Weddicg.
At noon, Thursday, November 10th, the
Brethren church of Salisbury, Pa., was
the scene of a most brilliant and beauti
ful affair. Before tbe chancel, in the
quaint old cburch, w bleb was bidden un
der a profusion of laurel and Chrysanthe
mums, while strains of music issued
from the organ, presided over by Pro
fessor Edward Walker, of Pith-burg, Mr.
Harvey Beachley Keim, son of Mr. John
J. Keim, and Miss Lucie Giuld Beaehy,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. J.
Be-.ichy, all of Elk Lick, Pa , were united
in marriage by the R-.v. Dr. John Craw
ford Mackey, according to tho service of
the Church of England.
After the ceremony at the church ahost
of invited guests drove to Beachy Grove,
the home of the bride's parents, where a
bountiful dinner was served.
Tho happy bride was the recipient of a
number of magnificent gifts. The happy
couple drove to Meyersdale iu the after
noon, accompanied by many of their
young friends to see them off on their
bridal tour. We regret that we have not
the names of those w ho travelled far to be
present at the edding of their friends.
Thus are more closely united two of
tbe old families of Elk Lick, that for
century have been a power in the socia
moral, political and business a3airs of
that section. The Beacby's and the
Keim's enjoy a most favorable reputation
all over the county, that begins before
the present county of Somerset was
sliced off from Mother Bedford's gener
ous allowance, and during the century's
progress they have been pruininent In all
tbe measures taken for the progress and
welfare of our people, a work thai gener
ation after generation of tbe families has
taken up and cairied out w ith credit to
themselves and honor to our people.

Mt- Pleasant Journal.
Literary Kote front The Coatnry Company.
iu tbe first instalment of bis story of
the "Merrimac" in the, December Cen
tury, which is to be an usually attractive
number, Lieut. Hobson lays no claim to
having originated the idea of blocking
tbe channel at Santiago. The sinking of
the collier had been ordered by Admiral
Sampson, but tbe commanding officer off
Santiago had not executed tbe maneuver
when tbe flag-ship arrived, and tbe work-
ng out of tbe plan, as wsll as its execu
tion, was intrusted to Lieut, Hotaton.
Tbe preliminary steps are detailed in this
number of the magazine, and in later
issues the story of the sinking of the ship
and tbe capture and imprisonment of ber
crew will be given at first hand. This is
the only account of his exploit that Mr.
Hobson has written for publication.
CapL Sigsbee spoils a good story, but
replaces it with another equally good, in
denying, as he will in the December Cen
tury, that his orderly entered the cabin
of the "Maine" immediately after the ex
plosion, made a formal salute, and report
ed tbe destruction of tbe ship. Had he
done so, be would not have been seen I r
the explosion extinguished all lights, and
left the cabin as black as a pocket. As a
matter of fact, the orderly ran into bis
commanding officer in a da. k passage
leading forward through the superslruct
ure, and reported that tbe ship bad been
blown up and was sinking. CapL Sigs
bee's story of the destruction of the ship
will lose nothing, it is understood, from
tbe simplicity of bis style, the incident
being too terrible to need reinforcement
from rhetoric.
