Tho peculiar decision of Judge
Biddle, of Cumberland county, re
garding the publication of marriage
licenses, has caused tho introduction
of a bill in tho Legislature, making
tho license register open to the pub
lic, aud there is no doubt of its be
coming a law. Had the ruling of
Judge Biddle been allowed to stand
out of tho main reasons for passing
tho marriagit license law would have
been a nullity.

markably well considering that all

The above cut represents Abe
Lazy, the original tramp, the man
who served for half a century as a
terror to women and children and a
liing demonstration that the world
owes every man a living. Ho is
dead now. died in t lie insane asylum
at Harrisburg a short time ago, not
that he was insane, but because no
one wanted to care for him any more,
His body was sent as a subject for
the dissecting table in Philadelphia
where he probably rendered his first
service to mankind.
The picture was taken in Middle
burgh in 181MI. in a tin typo for which
he consented to sit after a consider
able coaxing and a liberal portion of
tobacco from tho writer (theu edi
tor of the Middlcburfrlb. Tost), and
is probably , the only one iu etiV
tence of the famous old vagabond.
At that time he was living with a
family in Richfield, Pa., by the
name of Winey, w ho had taken pity
on the decrt pit old vagrant and
furnished liim with a home. His
passion for tramping, however, had
not forsaken him, and although ho
was compelled to Use two canes,
and his gate was painful and slow
at best less than a mile au hour he
kept up his nomadic life, almost
as helpless as a child and yet inde
pendent as a hog on the ice.
He had been against the world
and the Woild seemed set, against
him. He had often fell tho sting of
thecartwhip wielded by the hand of
an indignant parent whoso domain
lie had invaded and insulted the
family oi destroyed their property
to vent his spleen. He had a
huig memory and was as cunning as
a fox. One merit may be accorded
to him. He never spoko unkindly
of anybody hut pretended to have
forgotten the name of every indi
vidual whom he a ljudged as having
gotten even with him during his
incessant rumblings.
Obstinate as au army undo he
would never do w hat you requested
of him. and the least otl'ence would
rendei him sour and sullen. The
picture represents him just as we
picked him up from the street.
His pockets were crammed lull of
old exchanges which he preferred to
late magazines and periodicals for
the simple reason, we presume, be
cause wo had uracil him to take the
latter. We insisted upon him tak
ing oil' his hat, remove his papers
ami button his coat to have his pic
ture taken. His reply was :
"Y-y-youngoto !"
Abe Lazy was a character tho like
of w hich we do not think exists. He
was known all over Central Peun.,
as "Old Abo Lazy" forty years ago,
aud no one has over been ablo to
learn his ago or parentage, but it is
said, although without any known
authority, that his original name
was Lawrence, and that he camo
from a wealthy family. His depre
datious in Penns Valley alone would
till a volume, and, if as Shakesparo
says, "the good men do is buried
with their bones," Old Abe Lazy
will not be crowded for room in his
coffin. Jhllefonte Gazette.
A Larga Death Record.
The Democratic committee met

lar stroke three years ago. There
mains w ere had to rest on Tuesday
morning at eleven o'clock. Mr.
Nn ineford for his entire life lived in
this place and died at tho good old
age of !l5 years.
Wo regret to chronicle the death
of Hon. S. H. Voder, mention of
w hoso sickuess was made in our last
issue. Ho had been ailing for but
little over. two weeks and he met his
end on Tuosday morning. Ho served
one term an Associate Judge of our
courts and at the time of his death
was a dirWlor of tho First National
Bank of this place. Ho has been en
gaged in the milling business for a
number of years. Ho enjoyed an
extensive acquaintance over the en
tire county and was honored and
respected by nil who know him. In
business iu d in public life ho was
sauntirqj' and u progressive mat,.
Houebf .1 ;J uurpL.se . and straight-
loi w ar J iif jfcinttiiw V
to t ho fate that awaits ns all.
The funeral of Ex-Judge Voder
w ill tako place from his late resi
dence at eleven o'clock on Thurs
day morning. He will be buried by
Lafayette Lodge, No. 101, Free and
Accepted Masons according to an
cient customs and landmarks of the
fraternity.
Mrs. Catherine Walter died at
her late residence in this place on
Saturday morning having attained
theageof 811 years. Her husband,
David Walter died about 2" years
ago. She was buried on Wednes
day iu Mensch's graveyard in Union
County.
Among tho numerous deaths that
have occurred since our last issue is
that of John Musser of Franklin
Township. Ho was a good citizen
and his friends and neighbors in his
death lose a warm lrieud and au
ardent advocate of the right.

A Vulcanier Explolj3.
On Monday us Dr. J. W. Orwig
was making a set of teeth his Ytil
eaiiizcr exploded causing consider
able damage, though, foi tunatt ly no
one was hurt. The Vulcanizcr had
been used a long time and the
threads had been worn olVa great
deal and when the pressure became
very great, the lid was forced oil'
and thrown up against the ceiling
knocking three holes in the ceiling
and battering tho heavy biasslid.
The pressure downward was t qually
as great and crushed tho support
beneath. Three large window panes
were broken either from tho caucus
siou or from the rapid escape of
steam which forced tho air out
against the panes and caused them
to give away. Tho doctor had just
been in his laboratory to examine
the Vulcanizer and walked out w hen
the explosion occurred that wus
heard for nearly u square. It is ex
ceedingly fortunate that no ono wa s
near as the momentum of the lid,
had it hit any oue, would have , laid
the victim in his grave.
