Our in- formation was erroneous. The happy event did not occur until last Sunday evening when the aforesaid persons were united in marriage at the home of the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Baker, near Niverton. The ceremony was performed by the Rev: Geo. Yoder, and Tne Star extends its best wishes to all concerned.

C. Lowry’s palatial country residence south of town. Palatial is the only word that fitly describes the Lowry place, since it is in a class of its own, nothing in the way of local architec- ture being comparable with it. About a year ago Mr. Lowry purchased the old Metzler mill property, and since then the big stone building has been remodeled under the supervision of E. W. Walker until it presents the ap- pearance of a palatial colonial country home, resembling similar structures erected in Virginia and the other col- onies before the revolution. The ine terior is being finished with almost perfect taste, and when all is complete, Mr. and Mrs. Lowry will have an ideal country place—Somerset Herald. It isn’t much wonder that some of our public schools are on the bum order, and that pupils make little or no headway. There are some teachers who, if they devote any time to self improvement or preparation for their school room work from day to day, it is difficult to figure out when it is done, for they are on the gad from the time their schools close in the evening until a late hour at night. One township schoolma’am in particular is noted for this, and her school is said to be doing very poor work, the kind that causes a teacher to be rated as a failure. And there are other cases of the same kind. School directors everywhere should be on the alert and watch the actions and habits of teachers they employ. Teach- | ers who gad about from early twilight! in all their spare time loafing, attend- ing dances, etc., should be speedily discharged. School boards could em- ploy “spotters” to good advantage.

Orin and Charles, sons of Theodore Rayman, of near Brotherton, started out to serenade Frank Mosgrove and his bride, in the immediate neighborhood. They bor- rowed an old gun and proceeded to load itwith powder and gravel filling it near- ly to the muzzle. When they reached the home of the bridal couple, they found that the only cap they had brought with them failed to explode. They took the gun back home with them and secured another cap, which they placed on the nipple after priming the tube. The young men were a little afraid to fire the weapon, being loaded as heavily as they knew it was. But after a short consultation it was decided that the two Rayman boys hold the gun while young Welsh pulled the trigger. This was done, and the gun burst in the hands of the Raymans with serious results. Dr. W.P.Shaw was summoned, and upon examining the unfortunate young men, found that the index finger of Orin had been blown entirely off, and the palm of the hand torn completely away, while the ends of the remaining fingers that were held to the hand only by strips of flesh, had also been blown off. A gash some three inches long was also cut in his neck, part of his ear torn of and an incision of about four inches made in the scalp, Charles fared some better than his brother, but bis injuries were serious enough. A piece of the gun barrel was driven several inches into the arm, while other bruises and lacerations were sustained. While the injury to Orin is considered most serious, yet he is doing as well as circumstances§will permit, but he will never have the proper use of his hand again, even if it does not prove en- tirely worthless for manual labor.— Berlin Record.

McDowell, who was a resident of Salisbury and vicinity for the past 18 years, died at his home on Grant street at about 8:30 o'clock this morning, af- ter an illness of several weeks. His malady was dropsy, and he was aged about 65 years. A score of years ago, or perhaps longer than that, deceased was a prom- inent jeweler in the town of Somerset, where he did a thriving business. After the death of his wife, however, | he ceased to prosper, and in due course of time he was out of business and drifted into Salisbury. Here he mar- ried Mrs. Geo. Brown, a widowed daughter of the late Arthur McKinley, and lived with her until they separat- | ed, which was less than a year ago, | when Mrs. McDowell and her daughter went to California, and the husband and father took up quarters in the Samuel Lowry building. Deceased worked at watch repair- ing during the entire time be resided here, and while his life was not an ex- emplary one, he nevertheless had some good qualities. It is said of him that | he always paid his debts, and he was, | noted for being generous-hearted and kind to those about him. He is sur- vived by his second wife and two daughters, the elder daughter being of the first wife, married and living in Wilkinsburg, Pa. The other daughter is of the second wife and is with her mother in California. The funeral will take place Saturday, but we have learned nothing of the funeral arrangements. een A Temperance Tangle. Under an act passed by the late leg- islature, the citizens of Grantsville district, in this county, have petitioned the Board of Election Supervisors to order an election to decide that ques- tion on Nov. 3d, 1908. It seems that two petitions have been filed with the Supervisors, the one asking that the entire district be made anti-saloon, the other asking that it be confined to the municipality of Grantsville; but the Supervisors have refused to grant the latter, and have ordered the election to be held for the entire district, and it is likely that the contending petitioners will submit the matter to the court for final decision in mandamus proceed- ings.—Oakland Journal.
