BARLOW NEWS
----Barlow has organized a Temperance Union, with a large number of members, and a good promise 
of usefulness.  D. H. MERRILL is President;  J. H BRECKENRIDGE, Vice President;  Miss Nettie 
LOYNAHAN, Secretary, and Miss Anna R. FORD, Treasurer.
----The oyster supper at the Riggs House for the benefit of a future Methodist Parsonage, was a 
social and financial success.
----Mr. Wm. THOMPSON, who will persist in living in Garfield township, lost his smoke house and 
most of his meat by fire, not long since.  The smoke house was so near a lately built addition 
of the dwelling house that Mrs. THOMPSON had the utmost difficulty in saving the house until 
the men could be called from a distant field.  At it was, one side was badly charred.  Mrs. 
THOMPSON showed rare presence of mind and was slightly injured by the fire.

WATERTOWN NEWS
----Our village school has closed. Mr. BRECKENRIDGE employed Miss Emma TOMPKINS as assistant 
teacher.  The school is too large for one teacher, it ought to be graded.
----We hear of much sickness now.  Mrs. Margaret BOHL is very low with dropsy.  Mr. Henry McGREW 
was taken down sick a few days.  George RILEY has been quite low for about two weeks.
----Wallace WOLCOTT has returned to Kansas.  Miss Addie, his oldest daughter, and his son, 
Elmer, went with him.  Miss Addie leaves a large circle of friends here who will miss her.

THE RICHARDSON SCANDAL
     We are not anxious to publish what follows, but a newspaper must give the news and the 
safety of society requires that crime be exposed and the quietly prevented from covering the 
shame of exposure with a few paltry dollars.  It is due to the unfortunate, also, that they may 
know that the public fastens the principal quilt where it belongs.  The statement we have 
received is as follows:
     Two or three years ago a girl of fourteen--a mere child--of respectable family and whose 
name, up to that time, was free from scandal became entangled in the meshes of him who is now 
charred with her ruin.  He was over fifty years old, she only a young school girl attending 
school up to the very day of her confinement.  The two were often seen together and under some 
very suspicious circumstances.  The neighbors noticed the intimacy and commented freely upon 
it, but forbore to mention their suspicions to her family out of feelings of delicacy.  But 
the father, thinking no ill of his daughter, remained unsuspicious.  She was at home early of 
nights, but frequently visited an attorney’s office during the day.
     For the last few months Gen. RICHARDSON has not been so much observed in her company.  A 
pistol bullet through the window of his house, last summer, and sundry other manifestations may 
have had their effect upon him.
     Last Friday, a girl child was born and its parentage was charged upon Gen. RICHARDSON.  It 
was not the first time he had been connected with similar scandals, through this is the darkest 
of them all.
     The grief-stricken father sought RICHARDSON’s office and made known his errand.  the 
seducer replied he would do what he could, and if $500 would settle it he would pay that 
amount.  But he could only pay in installments of, say, $20 a month, this sum to go for the 
support of the child.
     “What if you should die before it is paid?” the father asked.
     “If I don’t pay that before I die,” RICHARDSON replied, “I deserve to go to Hell.”
     “You will go there anyway,” was the only response.
     Finally a paper was signed and the first monthly installment of $20 was paid.
     So the matter rest.  The victim of an old man’s lust is crushed and threatens 
self-destruction, and the tongues of an excited public are busy in denouncing her destroyer.  
How he would feel if the fair name of his own child were thus blasted we can not say, but he 
appears on the street as if nothing unusual had happened.
     We know of no worse scandal in Marietta, or one that has ever provoked so much comment.  
we are sorry for the seducer’s family--deeply so--and we are sorry for the victim and her 
family;  but there seems hardly a palliating circumstance in his case, yet we can not but feel a 
shade of pity even for him when we think of what he might have been.
     Though others may be silent we are impelled to the performance of this unpleasant duty and 
it now remains to have been what virtue there is in the court and bar of Marietta.

A FEW CASES OF SUICIDE NEAR ST. MARY’S W. VA.
     Committing suicide seems to be getting fashionable in our parts.  There has been about four 
attempts in that direction, three of which were successful in separating the immortal from the 
mortal parts.
     Mrs. Malan WILLIAMSON, a highly respected lady and one of a large family hung herself with 
a skein of cotton yarn, but a few weeks ago.  Cause mental aberration.
     Mrs. W. D. LAUEK, a highly esteemed lady at St. Mary’s, destroyed her own life, a few days 
ago, by swallowing half a teacup of Paris green.  She died 18 hours after drinking the fatal 
drug.  Cause, insanity.
     Not long ago a young man whose name we did not learn, attempted to commit suicide by 
shooting himself, but it seems he was unsuccessful.  Probably we was weary of this world and 
sought a better one.
     On Wednesday, February 25th, Mr. John CUNNINGHAM, a young man about twenty-one or two years 
of age and who was to have been married this week, went into the store of Messrs. NORRIS and 
HAMMET, at Willow Island, and purchased some crackers and candy.  that was the last seen of him 
alive.  Saturday, about 4 P. M. he was found dead in the barn some distance in the rear of the 
store, a pistol close by his side and a bullet hold in his body.  No cause is assigned.

GOLDEN WEDDING
    On Feb. 25th, the children and grand-children, with the brothers and sisters of Mr. and Mrs. 
Hiram GARD assembled at their residence at Vincent Station to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary 
of their wedded life.  Some came from Fairfield, some from Athens county, others from 
McConnelsville and others still from Columbus.  all were there by twelve o’clock, that were 
expected--numbering thirty-four.  and after the incidental hand-shaking, laughing and talking 
were over, and the dinner was brought to a proper state of readiness, the ceremony commenced by 
requesting the bride and groom to stand; when prayers and thanksgiving were offered up by their 
pastor to Him who has ordained that man shall not live alone, and has sauiction and sanctified 
the holy bond of wedded love.
     A brief address then followed, referring to the Providential kindness which had kept them 
fifty years in wedded life, and helped them so to live as to merit and secure the esteem and 
homage of acquaintances and the warmest affection and gratitude of children and grandchildren.  
Gifts were then presented from their children, a gold pen and holder to Mr. GARD, likely that he 
might make a record of his honorable life, and might write letters to these givers that would be 
more valuable than gold itself.  As Mrs. GARD had ever been busy with her fingers, in making and 
mending for them while they were young, now that she is old, a gold thimble is most befitting to 
her on her golden wedding day.
     Next came a pair of gold spectacles for each.  As gold is one of the most precious metals, 
so it well symbolizes the preciousness of the love existing between parents and children.  And 
as they have had vigilant care over them when their eyes were undimmed, now as their visions is 
fading these glasses shall aid them still to see to their affairs and all beautiful things on 
earth, till God calls them to that world where they shall not see through a glass darkly but 
face to face.
     And last was presented a printer memorial set in a golden frame recording their reverent 
and filial love, the last word of which are: “We would call down blessing on their heads.  
My their years with by, yet be many and filled with the golden radiance of The soul’s calm 
sunshine And the hear felt joy.”  
     The wedding dinner being over, which all praised with actions, which have more emphasis 
than words, we all assembled again in the parlor and read Mr. Longfellow’s poem about a golden 
wedding, called the “Hanging of the Crane.”  Soon after we bade the honored “twain made one”  
farewell and started home to Marietta, thinking we had passed a very happy day, and had never 
attended a more pleasant wedding.---J. W. M.
