By the request of one of our citizens we publish the following taken from a Homestead paper and aplicable to any borougb or town desiring such licenses.

Sir: Iu your last edition I read that it is proposed by coancil to pass an ordinance for the taxation of canvassers of bocks, pictures etc. Would it not be well for them to go siow in the matter, as in all cases of such character carried to the Supreme Court, their decision has been in favor of the parties taxed. No state, county or borough, DO more than an individual can afford to defy the law. and possibly this borough may have a suit at law for damages, like our neighboring, borough of Mansfield had a little while ago, which suit cost that borough a few thousand dollars to find the law in such a case. The Burgess and council of Shamokin, this state also passed 8 license law and fined an agent 810 and costs, and when taken to the Supreme Court it was declared invalid and roid.

Interment Monongahela cemetery. Norman--Howell. It is no exaggeration to say that neither in fact or tancy could one picture a prettier wedding than the one that made Miss Ursula Norman Mrs. Charles S. Howell.

The ceremony was a quiet one, being witnessed only by the relatives and a few friends of bride and groom, no cards having been issued. The air of marked peace and solennity surrounding the interior of St. Paul's church, enhanced by the strains of beautiful music from the immense pipe organ. as rendered by the artistic touch of Miss Lou Scott. organist, the decorative fragrance and purity of the prevailing flower, orange blossoms, the simplicity and beauty of the Episcopal marriage service, the fair bride in her trailing gown of white silk over which hung the mystic folds of the bridal veil, kneeling to receive the benE ediction of father and clergyman as one, all combined to make this an ideal wedding.

Promptly at three o'clock. the hour anrounced for the marriage rite, the wedding party entered the church. Headed by the ushers, Messrs. John Charlton of this city, and Eugene Pargoy, of Pittsburg, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Mary Norman, sister of the bride, came sweet bride herself leaning on the arm of her cousin, Prof. Jos.

Apple, of the Pittsburg High Scheol, whose duty it was to give her into the keeping of the chosen of her heart. The party were met the chancel rail by Rev. John P. Norman, rector, and at the alter awaited the groom, Chas. S.

Howell, and his best mg John Birch, of Wheeling. impressive tones Dr. Norall pronounced the wedding ceremony, the usual Episcopal form, including the use of the ring. As the newly made husband and wife krelt to receive the benediction, a ray of sun. light fell across the bride's bowed head, and the guests take pleasure in associating this omen with the old quaint and pretty superstition, "Blest is the bride that the sun shines on." As the young people turned and passed down the aisle to the strains of the wedding march followed by their attendants, the best wishes for a life-time of happiness from loving relatives and friends went with them.

But the privilege of expressing these sentiments were accorded the guests, who were immediately driven to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Norman on Fourth street. where for a couple of hours Mr. and Mrs.

Howell received congratulations and good wishes. An elegant menu was prepared for the occasion. the wedding gifts, of which Howell receiyed so many and such handsome ones, were viewed by all, and as the bridal couple left in the evening mid a shower of rice and old shoes thrown by laughing merry Rally Around the Flag, wit DEALING The Flag that Wins the Battle.
