A. Joh.vson. Children OryVer Maker— HlglnbotKa »». Miss Lulu B. Higinbotham, daughter of Mr. S. H. Higinbotham, and Mr. Henry Southgate Baker, of Baltimore City, were united in marriage by Rev. Dr. A. C. Hop kina at “Wheatland,” the beautiful home of the bride’s parents, near Charles Town, yesterday evening at half-past six o’clock. It was an exceptionally pretty wedding and the ceremony was beautiful in its simplicity and very impressive. The bride and groom elect entered the baudsome parlor preceded by the charming little sister of the bride Grace by name and graceful, aud sweetly attired in white from hat to slippers. The bride wore a becoming traveling suit of blue whipcord, or some other new fabric, trimmed with bengaline, with bat and gloves of same shade, and carried choice white rosebuds which, afterward, were eagerly sought by the gentlemen present for bouttonim. Miss Meta Jackson, of Frederick county, Va.,— just returned from Tennessee—rendered a wedding march skilfully aud pleasingly. After a few moments for congratulations all repaired to the supper room where they were seated at tables that were sumptuously laden aud the expression of a generous, aye, uiU nificcut hospitality. During the fea>t the bridf* s'i‘1 '-'room quietly withdrew from the roc-, ami tue guests aud took the cars at a nearby station for Philadelphia, New York, up the Hudson, Ac. The company lingered within the walls of the massive old mansion for au hour or two, listening to sweet music, admiring the many rich and appropriate presents, etc. All who personally knew the bride could sincerely congratulate the groom, and confidently express to parents of groom and bride the hope—expectation and desire —that the uuiou just consummated will be a blessed and happy one. There were guests from Cumberland, Roanoke, Clarke, Berke ley, Frederick and Jefl’ersou. The home of Mr. Higinbotham is one of the most beautiful in all tbts great valley. Tk._...U. unit I'allirmulilllH was constructed a huudred years ago ; the lawns are ample, the turf of which has not been turned, perhaps, for a century, and many of the great oaks and walnuts aud lindens that shade it must date back very, very many years. With the aid of blackboard, chalk, maps and uulimited knowledge of the topography of the SheDaudoah Valley, Major Jed. Hotchkiss, of Staunton, led a fascinated audience up and down that Valley Friday night—following Stonewall Jackson’s light* ning marches, fighting his battles, and giv ing here and there an incident that shed light upon his methods, his purposes or his character, Commencing with a sketch of the physical features of the couutry he showed the plan of operations adopted by the authorities at Washington, and describ ed in detail and with accuracy the campaign planned aud carried out by the Confederate commander for the frustration of that part of the Federal scheme which related to the Valley of Virginia. The lecture is of greater value because it is not the product of spec ulation, theory or guesswork, but a careful Statement of matters wbereol the lecturer thoroughly knows. It had the additional merit of being embellished with genial humor, suggestive anecdote and patriotic eloquence. Robert A. Travis, of Monongalia county, was indicted on three charges of forgery in 1880, but escaped and went West. Two years ago he returned to his borne, near Smitbtown, to attend his wife’s funeral, aud was arrested. He gave bond and disappear ed, but was arrested four weeks ago in this town and takeu to Morgautown. In the iw Knnrt miiltv to the charges, and, as no one lost money by his operations, he was given the short term io the peniteutiarv. When sentenced by Judge Hagan he broke down and wept like a child. His people are prominent in Mon ongalia. Here he was known as A. J. John son. He appears to have been a slippery fellow—and at last slipped up on his own smartness. Some time ago we noted the fact that Ju'lge E. Boyd Faulkner’s methods of ad ministering justice here had already result ed in reducing expenses and promised even more in the future iu that direction. Like results in Morgan and Berkeley are to his credit. From the Martinsburg Independent of last week we make the following extract: “Judge Faulkner has been making an effort to keep down the expenses of court, and as a measure of his success, as can be seen from the following statement, we note that the jury expenses have been reduced fully fifty per cent. Grand and petit jury expen ses for 1583, $1.654.10; for 1S89, $1,105.45; for 1S90, $1,267.60; for 1891, $1,167.10, and for 1892, his first year, $856.40.” Msj. Hotchkiss did not have as many persons to hear him on Friday night as he should have had, but his audience was emi nently respectable aud attentive. Among those present we mention Hon. NS m. L. NVilsou, Hon. Geo. R. NVendling and Gen eral John Gibbon. The latter is a retired U. S. A. officer who greatly distinguished himself during the late war. From the Army Register we learn that he was brevet ted for gallant and meritorious service at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Spottsylvania and Petersburg. He was with “Stonewall” Jackson at NVest Point and with Gen. Grant at Appomattox, and was one of three who drew up the articles of capitulation. The box taken from the corner stoue of i the old Methodist Churcb, the walls ol which have been taken down, contained a ; testament, a discipline, ten coins—one ot ■ them of date 1768—and a copy of The Free Press of August, 1857. The coins were much corroded, and the other things , almost ready to fall to piece*. NVben found the box top was loosened, which accounts j for the contents being in such a bad state ol preservation. The corner-stone was laid in j 1857—that being the year the church was ; enlarged. The dedication occurred March I 21, 1858. - -♦ » — - - ~ — i Pitcher’* Oaetoria Highest of aU in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov t Report ABSOLUTELY PURE Personal.
