AMOOC tal Ml—, Trentojc, N. J., Aug. 19.—The marriage of Mi«a Anna Warman, daughter of Dr. David Warman, of this city, to George D. Morrow, of Hillsborough, O., which took place a day or two ago at New York, po*. ■eased an element of romance. Miss barman, who ia a young lady of cultnre and quite popular in social circles, went to New York the latter part of last week to visit a newly married couple, who are friends of her family. She found there as guests another young married couple, the groom being a clergyman. On Monday last, according to previous arrangement, Air. Morrow called at the New York residence to see Miss Warman, who, by the way, was betrothed to him. "While all three couples were together in the parlor the married ones indulged in a good deal of pleasant railery at the expense of the two single people, and jokingly advised them to embrace the opportunity, which the clergyman's preeence afforded. Tho joking finally developed earnestness, and Miss Warman and Mr. Morrow told the minister to proceed. Ho obeyed with alacrity, and the nuptial knot was tied. TUcu t here were congratulations,after which t .e btide sot down, had a good cry and peuu.-l a ._'tter home telling the whole story and ging for forgiveness. Dr. Warman ac.) his wife were astonished at the news. '1 y knew of the young people's engageiu . and approved it, but had no ideaof a riajje just yet. Biooimu, Pa.

CAMPBELL, A TTOBXE TS-A T-LA W, Isdiasapous, August 18.—Citizen* of the (oathwe stern part of Indian* are again appealing to tbe Governor lor protection from the White Cape, or regulators. Orange, Daboil and Crawford conntiee are terrorized by the bond which, npon the pretense of pnnishlng violatere of the law, goes on plundering and marauding tripe nearly every night- So general is the fear of the gang that citizens dare not express themselves regarding the operations of the outlaws. A gentleman who came to Indianapolis to-day to beg the Governor to take some steps towards breaking up the band avid that his life would be in danger if it was known he had made complaint against the regulators. On his way out from Orange county he met a farmer who bad b*en prominent in the county who was hurrying away feom the infested district with his family and all his portable possessions, impelled by the WhitelCaps, who had made one assault on him and had given fair warning that he must lie out of range before a certain date. He bad been obliged to leave his farm and this he was trying to sell through another. Tbe premises bad been plundered by the outlaws. The county officers are afraid to prosecute and witnesses are unwilling to to testify, because they are not protected. prominent in politics, a bigger man than the Sheriff, against whom no connty officer would dare raise a hand." "I know of one case," said the man who complained to the Govarnor to-day, "wher« the White Caps assaulted a respectable farmer at midnight. They were beating him unmercifully when his daughter ran from the house and having seized a knife began to fight the guard who had been left with the horses. She succeeded in cutting loose several of the horses and in doing so cut a gash in one animal's breast. The regulators took after their horses and the next day the wounded horse could be tracked to the barn of one of the most prominent citizens in the township. As the gang operates in disguises, it is difficult to recognize them. It would have been folly to hare complained against the perpetrators. The leader was evidently the owner of the wounded horse and a man XT IS NOT OUR PURPOSE TO MISLEAD YOU by making a big blow and advertising something we never had, but simply to give you some stubborn facts. First, You can find anv article mentioned in our advertisement marked in plain figures, not signs, so that every man can see the price for themselves. Our daily increase in business is due to the fact that we have the only legitimate Clothing business in Jefferson county. Second, We pssitively give the best values for the money ever offered in Punxsutawney. And lastly, we have the largest and finest stock of Clothing you will find in this county. We are receiving daily our Fall and Winter Goods. Our counters are groaning under the weight of Fine Suits and Overcoats. Time and space will permit us to give but a few of our prices.

The scar made by the grape shot on his bead, and a scar on his right leg made by a severe cut by an axe wheu he was a boy are strong points favoring bis identity. He went away a black-haired boy and returns a gray-haired man, but his father, who is tottering under the weight of nearly fonr score years, says he is Hugh Thompson, |his long lost son. Money was raised and sent to Kansas to defray the expense of a trip to this place to attend the regemental re-union next week. Before the remittance arrived his Kansas neighbors had liberally donated for the same purpose, and to-night, by their generosity, he is at his old home, which he left when the nation callsd on young men to rise up in its defense. Toledo, O., August 19.—When the war of the rebellion broke ont, Hugh Thompson, of Van Wort, Paulding county, Ohio, enlisted in the Fifteenth Ohio regiment. He wm an intelligent man of 20, of sound memory and a splendid education, having graduated at one of the western colleges. At the battle of Chicamauga he was struck on the top of the head by a grape shot and severely wounded, his comrades thonght mortally. They laid him under a tree and in a few minutes were forced to fall back. Thompson fell into the hands of the enemy and was never heard jrom until a few weeks ago. Daring all these years he has been monrned as dead. That he is alive aud well was discovered by a person who knew him when be was a boy, aud who met him in Meade county, Kansas, where he is living on a farm. He is married and is the father of a nnmber of children. He reme g bers that he was in the army, but tbe period from the battle of Chickamauga nntil the great fire at Chicago is a blank to him. He does not know where he vras nor what he did during all that time. In the excitement of the fire he partially regained his senses, bnt could not locate his old home. He went to Minnesota and was married, and thence to Kansas, where he took up a claim and is farming for a living. He remembers the death of his mother, which took place when he was 13 years old ; that his captaiu's name was Uudegrove, and that he waa in a rebel prison. The balance of his early life is a blank.

San Francisco, August 18.—The steamer St. Paul arrived from Behring Sea today and reports that great fears are expressed in Ounalaska for the safety of the United States revenue cutter Bear, commanded by Captain Maclay. In the opinion of many it is doubtful if she ever returns to Ounalaska, from which port she sailed. The Bear has acquired great celebrity from her having been one of the Greely relief ships. She left this harbor early in the spring, with orders to look after the Arctic fleet of whalers, but soon after arriving at dunalaska she sprung a bad leak near her bow and water poured into her hold. Her Captain remained at Ounalaska in the early days of June, and for 10 days repairs were made. She sprung a leak again, however, bnt it was determined to go north anyway and beach for repairs, if possible. When sha sailed she was leaking, and men had to be kept at the pumps. It is said she is in no condition to proceed north and battle with the ice, and grave fears are felt for her. The season has been late and cold beyond precedent, and ice is further down in the Behring Sea than ever. Up to August 6 nothing had been heard of the steamer.

Lowell, Mass , August 17.—A year or two ago Miss Susie Barnard, an heiress to thousands, astonished the public by marrying her grandmother's coachman, Philip Scully. The marriage was kept quiet by the interested parties for a time, but when it leaked out Philip and his fair young bride did not wait for an interview with the grandmother, but fled in a hurry to Providence. The husband did not find it easy to obtain employment in that city, and their slender stock of money was rapidly diminishing when a removal was made to Pawtucket. They soon became tired of Pawtucket, and after short stays in various places came to Lowell about a week ago. They had on their arrival two trunks and ;*5 cents in cash. With this sum they secured lodgings at the Harris House. Being without money she was obliged to appeal to Secretary Smith, of the Overseers of the Poor, for a ticket home. The ticket was purchased for Mrs. Scully, who bade her husband a tearful adieu previous to taking the train for Lowell. The young wife is hopeful of doing better for herself and husband. Her last words to him before taking the traiu were that she would endeavor to reconcile her relatives to their marriage. Overcoats. In this line we can't be excelled.

New York, August 17.—The family of Jay Gould has been exceedingly annoyed for some time past by the actions of a crank named J. M. Trober. The annoyances ouliuinated a short time ago by an announcement in a Western paver to the effect that Trober was shortly to be married to Miss Nellie, the eldest daughter of Mr. Gould. From a statement made by George Gould, it appears that some months ago Trober came into Mr, Gould's office with a letter of recommendation purporting to come from Frederick Gebhardt. It was quickly discovered that Trober had written the letter himself, and he was dismissed. Almost immediately afterward he began sending letters and little presents to Miss Nellie, whom he had never seen. The annoyances have been kept up ever since, but no notice has ever been taken of them by the family. This last piece of impertiuence, however, is too much, aud measures will be taken to sit down oq Mr. Trober hard. An old physician retired from pracacu having had placed in his hands by an Eist India missionary tho formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronoliitis Catarrh, Asthma aud all Throat and L.ang Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all nervousComplaints, after having tostedits wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, Uae felt it his duty to make it known to hit" suffering fellows.Actuated by this motive and a desiro to relieve human suffering, 1 will Bend free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, in German, French on English, with full directions for preparing aud using.

Tuscola, III., August 19.—The young Catholic priest and scientist of Charleston, 111., who was recently created alieutenant in the French army for valuable discoveries in the art of making and using a powerful explosive for war purposes, claims to have made a still more valuable discovery, or rather re-discovery. He says he has by continued tests and experiments fathomed the art of making Greek fire, which was lost in the dark ages, about the year 1*250, when gunpowder came into something like general use, and he is of the opinion that the discovery is quite an achievment for science. The compound consists of naptha and two other ingredients, and its powers of destruction are something marvelous. It will so corrode tin as to dissolve it, while water, instead of extinguishing it, will only increase its destructive powers. The inventor will soon give the press an article on the subject of his great discovery.DENTIST. REYNOLDS VILLE, PA. Office in the Gordon Brick Block, Reynoldsviile, Pa.
