gJ- Those who remember the pleasant
4'h of July celebrations in the Academy
Building, College Hill, in days gone by,
will require no urging to turn out on
Monday next. There will be but little
parade or expense to any body, while we
shall be sure to hear something good from
the speaker seiected-aDd excellent music.
The room is large enough, and will pro-
baby be cool and comfortable. Come
from town aud country.
ES-Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week were the hottest Of the season. A
sudden storm Of wind and rain on Wednes-
day evening, were succeeded by a cool
north wind. The storm Frustrated consid-
cradle grain, broke off many fruit trees in
this borough, and did other damage.
Iu White Deer Tp, the wind was more
destructive. We are told that Benz. Gem
behring's barn was unroofed, his fences
and grain prostratcd, and that other inju-
ries were sustained in that ncighborhood.
SAD ACcIDENT-The eager pursuit of
the pleasant cherry, and frailness of the
tree, result in many accidents. Too great
care cannot be taken to check the incon-
siderate arior Of many when picking it.
Steps and ladders are much safer than
standing between the branches, which are
very liable to open. We have heard and
read of many falls from cherry trees this
season, but only one in our ueighborhood
which terminated fatally. In Lewisburg,
on Wednesday Of last week, an interest
ing little girl-RosANNA ALICE, daugh
Ter of Samuel and Margaret Hunt, late of
New Berlin, was picking from high tree
of Alexander Nesbit's, when she fell,
distance of twenty five feet. In the fall
she broke both bones of her left arm, the !.
bones penetrating the ground, and received
internal injuries. The effort to restore the
bones caused great suffering, aud the poor
girl fingered in much pain until Tuesday,
Of this week, (2Sth) when lockjaw set in,
and she expired at the age of II years
5 months and 30 days
s1- Sabbath School and Church Sum-
mer Excursions are very pleasant, often
times, and tend to promote individual ac-
quaintances and frienships among those
who (especialiy iu large congreearions)
often have no more personal fellowship
than if they did not profess the same faith
aud worship at the same altar. Another
consideration is, that the old and middle
aged can easily renew their youth by such
associations with children and young peo-
pie. But most important of all is it, that
al the congregation can thus enjoy day
of innocent recreatiou-those in cities and
towns can inhale the pure country air
without the cOntaminations and improper
associates winch LOO Olieu corrupt Tue
young and mar the happiness OF the older
in miscellaneous and mixed assemblies of
mere pleasure seekers, among whom the
most vile and abandoned always fud pecu.
liar opportunities to accomplish their ne
furious aud mischievous de signs. Dis
tlnt formal "pleasure trips"-at great
expense, and always with loss Of money
and sometimes reputation-we regard as
generally pernicious, to mind and body,
while informal Deghborhood social church
and school gatherings accomplish more
good at less expense and risk.
Last Wednesday, the Lewisburg Meth
odist Sunday School and friends held their
celebration in the Wolfs Mill Grove.
Wednesday Of next week, the Prosbyte-
ran School contemplate an excursion into
the country for social recreation and en-
joyment
