URMINdTON ITEMS. ■ We are pleased to learn that Mr Vickery will, still attend to his business here, Although assisting his brother in the" management of a large hotel in Chicago. As his absence will be but temporary with frequent trips home, there will be no need of selecting a new school trustee. G. F. Bloom has purchased the stock of groceries and the building formerly owned by George Beigle and will doubtless command his share of custom. Ernest Hart met with a painful accident last Friday. While cutting some wire, one end flew up and struck him in the eye. At one time it was feared he would lose the sight of the eye, but at this writing all danger of that nature seems to be past. Miss Bertha Shelley, daughter of Mr. Thomas Shelley, a successful farmer of this vicinity, was married on Wednesday evening of last week to Mr. John Teter, a young farmer living near the bride’s father. The wedding ceremony took place in the M. E. par sonage, Bev. A. H. DeLong officiating. Prof. J. C.

The many friends of Rev. James B. Crowe and wife will read with alarm and deep smypathy of the danger by which they are surrounded in the lawless neighborhood in which they at present reside. From the Herald and Presbyter it was learned that serious threats had been sent to them in anonymous letters, and friends here and elsewhere are anxiously urging them to come north. They live in the neighborhood of Paris,

Texas, where the tragedy was enacted that shocked the whole civilized world. If it would’nt cost too much it might be well enough to import a savage from the wilds of Africa to teach these people a little decency, as our methods seem to have failed. We are all waiting anxiously for further tidings from Mr, and Mm. Crowe. A number of the young friends of Miss Hettie R. Luckey gave her a pleasant surprise party on Wednesday evening last, the occasion, being her twentieth birthday.
