LnstTliu rsday evening witness ed a repetition of those scones for which McCnnnellsburg is gaining a reputation; namely, of n gang of children and luilf grown boys gathering at the home whore a wedding is occurring, and bo-1 having themselves in such an out- j ragoous manner as would land every one of thoin in the lock up in any other town in the State. It is quite time for the custom to be discontinued. The mot) that stormed Mrs. Trout's resi dence when Dr. Smith brought Iris wife to town, although uearly a mouth had elapsed since their marriage; or that which torment ed the families with whom Goo. Sloan was spending thoeveuiiig when lie and his wife visited this place last fall, are frosh in the minds of the residents of Wator Street. Members of the gang do not hesitate to got on the porches, open the shutters, hoist tho sash, destroy curtaius and blinds, and use language that is by no moans complimentary to the hostess or her guests. There would be less objection to the custom, if the boys would go in a respectiul way. They would then receive their treat, and they could go away. No one in that case would be annoyed; but now, demands are made im pudently, and, it not un frequent ly indeed, generally happens, that after boiug generously treat ed they go away for a time, and then return with ten-fold more fury than before, and they must be bought olT nirifiu and again. The treat usually iueludos a box of cigars, and then there is a scramble as to which shall get the greatest number. Might it not be just as well for the children, if the cigars be omitted' They will learn to use tobacco soon enough. Parents would do well to give this matter some thought; you may have a wedding at your house some day and then the mob busi ness will not be funny, besides, we have some of the best girls in this town that ever swallowed a buckwheat cake. We do not have many young men, and what we have would rather go with one suspender button, undarned socks and die old bachelors than to have a wedding in McCouuellsburg and undergo the ordeal of run ning up against that gang of small boys. And the stranger from afar who comes here and is at tracted by tho beauty, grace and accomplishments of our girls, just as he is about to propose, hoars of the way the boys behave at weddings, and he "folds his tent and silently steals away."
