INAP&URATED

■PIECII OF THE CiOVERNOR.
The State t'upitol Alive With
dubs, Baml* uml ThoutfniidM
ot Visitors,
HARKISHURO, Jan. 15—At high
noon General Hustings was inducted
int/» the highest office within the
gift of the people of Pennsylvania
and the ceremonies incident to his
inauguration were interesting and
impressive. Surrounded by the law
making and judicial branches of the
state government, prominent men in
all walks of life and citizens of all
classes, he took tbe oath of office
and delivered an address which is
characteristic in its forceful, succinct
and eloquent presentation of those
matters which occured to the new
governor to bo proper to discuss at
the out set of his administration.
GSNF.RAL D. 11. HASTINGS.
The inaugural ceremonies look
pl:ice on the decorated platform at
the west portico of the capitol at
high noon and were very brief.
After a patriotic select ion by a band,
Hev. William A. llouck, of Hazkton,
former pastor of the Bellefonte Meth
odist church, of which Governor
Hastings is a member, offered prayer.
Chiaf Clerk Suiiley, of the senate,
then read the certificate of Goveror
Hastings' election, and Chief Juslice
Sterrctt, of the supreme court, ad
ministered the oath of oflice. This
was followed by the governor's salute
by bnttery C, and after more music
Governor Hastings stepped to the
front and delivered the inaugural
nd dress
Lack of space prevents our giving
the address in full. Among other
things Ihe governor said :
"Our constitution requires that the
chief executive of the commonwealth
'"shall lake care that the laws he
faithfully executed." Having beon
entrusted bv the people of Fennsyl
van.a with the administration of that
otlice for the next four years, I have
in your presence taken upon myself
the prcs ribed oath of otlice. Pro
foundly impressed with the responsi
bility of the n?w relation which I
sustain to all the people of the com
monwealth, I ask help in the
performance of mv duties, while I
will constantly rely upon the Su
preme Ruler for strength and guid
ance.
nndmindful of the unpreced
ented vote of confidence given by the
electors. T should be guilty of insin
cerity if I did not now express my
great appreciation of the unusual
ho ior and I should be lacking in the
qualities that belong to manly gratis
tude if this did not strengthen every
purpose of mind and heart to the
end that the confidence prove not to
be misplaced. At the same lime I
fully recognize the truth that honest
differences of judgement on public
questions and candidates constitute
on« of the essential safeguards of
fr«; nment, and d rnand of the
Buccessfn' competitor that nnquaH
fi«d recognition of the con<titul ional
and lep»l rights oT every citizen
wkich is above partisanship.
The people of the state and of the
c untry are now bappi'y emerging
from a period of financial and indus*-
trial embarrassment which has
wought prrcat injury mid distress
ran ng all brarc'ies of i dnstry and
employment.. Two political revolu
tions have t»ken place within two
year* that severely tested the stabile
itv of t >e form of government under
which wc . live. Fiom both, the
country has come forth stronger and
grander, and the people with more
oonfidercin the future of our politic
cal institutions.
I venture the opinion and the
bop® that, with returning confidence
as to the future, we are gradually
•nterinp upon a period of encourag
ing and healthful business restora-.
(ion. With this thought iu view,
the tread of our legislation should
l»o in sympathy with every effort
lookin r to the advancement of all the
industrial, material and eommer'i d
interests within the borders of the
btate.
While the question of the reaeeful
settlement of contentions between
organised labor and capital is almost
as old as organized society, yet the
subject is more important and mo
mentous now than ever before,
Recent experience in this country
indicate s that public sentiment and
matured judgem«nt result n ; from
knowledge of the l'ncts have a liform
ly been the best nnd roost powerful
arbiters of such disputes. But.
public sentiment operates after the
fact, and is rarely a preventive. If
the general public could be fully in
formed of the facts and merits of
the disputes that bring about strikes
and infractions of law, before ihe
parties reach a belligerent attitude,
public sentiment would generally
guide the way to peaceful and just
settlement.
Pennsylvania's proud history, her
great resources and unfolding wealth
and the intelligence and patriotism
of her citizens, call upon her chosen
servants to sustain, uphold and ad
vance her imperial position in the
nation. To that en J your executive
calls upon you to uphold bis arm, to
strengthen his purpose, to guide
aright his judgement and to unite
with him in humble and constant
reliance upon the Supreme Kuler of
states and nations."
Family Gathering.
SHUNK, SULLIVAN CO —The fam
ily gathering at M. Williams, on
Christmas day (which was the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage) pass
ed off very pleasantly. There were
not as many present as were expect
ed, on account of the severity of the
weather, but thotie that were there
seemed to enjoy themselves. The
following sketch wns written and
read by a grand daughter:
"Fifty years ago to-day at her
father's house in Troy township, in
the presence of friends and relatives,
a young girl gave her hand in mar
riage to the choice of her heart.
They then started amidst the sound
of the merry sii-igh bells for a pleas
ant ride to the city of Eluiira. They
shortly moved to Wyoming county,
to stnrt their new life near the banks
of tlie Susquehiinu:!. In a couple of
years a fair young life was given to
their keeping, but only for a few
short weeks when it was called to
bloom in paradise. It was very
hard for the young parents to part
. with their darling girl. Within the
I next two years a son was bcrii to
them, how fond the father of his
little boy. During this time they
lived in a number of different places,
as the husband worked in saw mills.
Two years latter they moved to
Blakely, in Luzerne county (now
Lackawanna) where a daughter was
born to them. They passed through
some hardships from different causes
, they were not sick and knew what
poverty meant. After ten years of
3 married life spent in Wyoming Co.,
, and Luzerne they made up their
, minds to try the fur Went, but when
a ihey reached Elinira the mother
I wished to see her parents before
proceeding farther. On reaching
her childhood home, her parents
' persuaded them to remain near them
[*
so they settled down within a short
distance of her old home, where they
J sent their children to school. When
■ the little girl was nine years old the
( mother was called to the bedside of
. her brother's dying wife, who left.
[. three motherless girls, the eldest
1 eight years and the youngest but
five days old; she took them into her
' family and was as a mother to them
[ for seven years, and the baby, until
. her marriage. Lo! what is this ?
' ihe sound of carnage in our land ;
[ which called many of the fathers
and sons of our country to the field
of battle, away then went the father
of the motherless babes, next she
' bids adieu to the companion of her
; life and sees him go forth to join the
soldiers fighting for their country.
, she wns left to take care of her fami
. ly as best she could; her son was
now fourteen, and large enough to
help his mother carry on the work
of the farm. As they were now liv
ing on the old homestead, her pnr
i ents being aged and needing some
, one there, their choice fell on them
to be the stay of their old age.
'I itue passed on ; one day while at
dinner, who should open the door,
but the long absent husband and
father ; what a joyous meeting, ex
cept for the thought that he had re
turned for only a few short weeks,
when he must return to duty. When
he went, their son went too, for the
far distant Carolina?; but the Lord
watched over them there, ns will as
the ones remainirg at home, and the
years soon passed, that again saw
peace in our happy land. Two
years later, her mother was called to
the golden shore; her father remain
ed with them five years longer. In
the menu time their son had married
and had two little sons that were the
joy of their grand paren ia at that
time, for they were bright little
boys. The aged grandfather loved
the eldest one very deaily but did
not ,ivpt " know """eh of the other
one. Time passes on and her two
girls leave for homes of their own.
After this llicy removed to their
present mountain home, at which
they are living in their old age, with
5..1U0 of their grand children around
thein, most of ihe time. They have
two grandsons, nino granddaughters
and the niece they brought up, has
two sons and two daughters."
