" Weddings in Olden Times." From William McKniht'a Our Western Border." HOW THE CorPLE WET.E SETTLED. A spot was selected on a piece of land of one of the parents. Shortly after the tuarriige, a day was ap pointed for building the cabin. The choppers, carpenters. ice, arranged all the day before. The clap-boards for the roof were split with a large frow, f jut feot long, and as wide as the timber would allow. They were U3ed without planing or shaving. The puncheons for the floor were made by splitting trees eighteen inches in diameter, and hewing the t jces of thera with a broad ase. They vere half the length of the floor they were intended to make. The eecoiid day was all' tted for the raising. In the morning all the neighbors assembled and selected foor corner men. whose business it was to notch and place the logs. The rest of the company supplied them with material 13y the time the cabin was a few rounds high, the sleepers and floor began to be laid. The door was made by 6awing or catting the logs in one side, so as to make an opening about three feet wide, which was secured by upright pieces of timber, through which holes were bored into the ends of the logs for the purpose of pinning them fast. A similar opening, but wide-, wav made in one end for a chimney. This was tnilt of logs and was large e-L ng: to adii.it of a back and jambs t-i fctone. At the square, two end los projected a foot or more to re ceive the bunting poles against which the ends of the firtt row of clap boards for the roof were supported. The roof was formed by making th tnd logs shorter, until a single L f- 'rmed the comb ; on tliese par allel logs the clap-boards were placed, the ranges of them lapping some dis tance over those neit below them, and kept in their places by logs placed at a proper distance upon them. The roof, and sometimes the floor, were finished on the same day of the raising. A third day was commonly spent by a few carpenters in leveling off the floor and making a clap-board door and a table, which latter was made of a split slab and supported by four round limbs net in auger holes. Some three-legged stools were made in the same manner. Some pins stuck in the logs at the back of the house supported some clap-boards, which served for shelves. A single fork, placed with its lower end in a hole in the floor and its upper end fastened to a joist, served for a bedstead by placing a hole in the fork, with one end through a crack ljetween the logs nt the end of the walL This front pole was crossed by a shorter one within the fork, with its outer end through another crack. From the front pole, through a crack between the logs of the end of the house, the boards were pnt cn which to form the bottom of the bed. Sometimes other poles were pinned to the forks a little distance above these for the purpose of supporting the front and foot of the bed, while the walls were the support of its back and head. A few pegs around the walls for a display of the coats of the women and hunting shirts of the Men, and two 6mall forks or buck horns pro truding from a joist for the rifle and shot pouch, completed the carpenter work. In the meantime the masons were also at work Wish the heart pieces of the clap-board timber, they made billets for chinking tip the cracks between the logs of the cabin and the chimney. A large bed of mud mortar was made for daubing over these cracks so filled, and a few stones formed the back and jambs of the chimney. The cabin being thus finished, the ceremony of house-warming took place before the young couple were allowed to move into it. This "warm in"" was a dance lasting a whole night, indulged in by the bride and neighbors. On the day following, the young couple took Dossession of their new man- a. D1UU. At rnnse-raisinrs, loff-rolliDgs and harvest parties, every one was expect ed to his duty faithfully. A person who shirked his duty on these occa sions was called a "Laurence, or some other still more opprobrious epithet, and if it ever came his turn to require a like aid, the idler soon felt his punishment in the general refill to attend his call Every mun, too, of full age and size, was expected to do his full share of mUi tary or sconting duty. If he did not, he was " hated as a coward." Even the want of any article of war equip ments, such as ammunition, a sharp int, a priming wire, a scalping knife pr tomahawk, was thought highly disgraceful Tint Third Re-union r9 tit J mi.

Thomas, In Huntingdon county, are given by the Huntingdon Stmi-H'tekly A'twe of the 7th inst., thus t A correspondent sends us the following particulars of the deslh of Kev. J. D. Thomas, which occurred on Monday last : Ker. J. D. Thomaa was lound dead on tbe road-aide with no marks or any other cir cumstances to indicate that he had died by any other than a natural death. Tbe particulars of the above-mentioned sad death aa gleaned by ns at present writ ing are as follows : On Monday, Nov. 4 lb, during the afternoon, Mr. Thomaa took his gun and started for the Blue Lick Run saw mill situated about two miles distant from bis home, and in which he owned an inter eat, to transact aome business, at which place he arrived ; aud alter completing bis business he remarked to some of the hands thai he had a pain injiis breast, and that it was moving towards his heart, and he must go home. But, not coming heme at supper-time, his wife, thinking that he would be late getting to church, as he was holding a jrotracted meeting at the Stone Creek Baptist Church, dispatched Messrs. Thomas Milliken and Doc Ilcrder.snn to ascertain the cause of his delay. This was abont 6 o'clock in the evening. They p-oceeded in tbe direction from which be was expected to come, and discovered him lying on the side of the road dead. His gun was fonnd in a pile of brush some eight or ten feet away. When found his body was cold and stiff, and when the time of his finding waa compared with the time that he had lelt the saw mill, it is supposed he had lain there about one hour and a half. Messrs. Milli ken and Henderson then went to the church where Mr. Thomas wss expected to preach, and announced to the assembled congrega tion tbe facts already narrated, which had the eftect of spreading consternation through the whole audience. But while thia scene was being enacted at the church, one of a tar sadder type was ti anspiring at the place where Mr. Thomas' corpse lay ; for when Mra. Thomas' messengers did not return in the expected time, she became alarmed, and, in company with another lady, started out to investigate the caute of thia con tinued delay, apprehending that something serious had hapiiened her husband. They proceeded on the road leading to the saw mill until they, too, discovered Mr. Thomas' remains. His death is supposed to have been caused by apoplexy or heart disease. The deceased was in the 43d year of his age, and leaves a wile and six children, the oldest being only 12 years of age, the youngest an iufant. His remains were buried yesterday in the cemetery adjoining the Stone Cretk Bap tist Church at 1 o'clock r. M. A large con course of friends and neighbors followed the bier to the tomb, and then amid a vast multitude of sorrowful countenances the last sad rites wbich the living owe to the dead were performed. The wife has lost a kind and loving hus band ; the children a good father; the church an active and efficient worker in Christ's cause the congregation a devoted pastor; tbe neighborhood a good citizen, aud we Lave lost a ninth esteemed and warm personal friend ; and when, on last Sunday cvenirg, we listened to his eloquent and lnsiral sermon from this text : And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for, behold, I 1 bring you good tidings of great joy;' which shall be to all people." Luke 2 : 10, little did we imagine that ere twenty-four hours had passed by tho lips which gave utterance to those ords would have death's seal set upon them, and that aphorism, Man proposes and Uod disposes," has been Hitting through our mind ever since. The wile and laoiily have our sincere sympathy, and the hand that tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, will also take care of them ; and i: is our ardent desire that we all may be as well prepared to answer Christ's summons as was Mr. Thomas, wheu He says, Come !
