Beetown Notes.

4 ~
Rev. Thompson, formerly of Poy
nette, is the new Methodist minister
here, and breaches every two weeks
Mr.. Robert Lemon, son of Gun
Gle Sam, has taken charge OF schoo
at Wyalusing, where it is hoped sue
ce.s will reward him.
-Mr. Oscar Mayne, who is around
a taking O pictures, also gives the
people a sermon now and then from
the pulpit of the village church.
Every one is rejoicing over the
enjoyable weather this autumn, and a
large harvest and a pleasant Novem-
Der will 90 far toward bringing win.
ter in quite comfortably.
A lively singing school is under
Roadway IN this town superintendent
by Mr.. o. Mayne, and the lads and
lasses are happy over the chance to
"turn out" in the evening.
Mrs. r. F Beach has full stock
of millinery goods, and is supplying
the ladies with some fine specimens in
this line. She will remain in Bee
town during the winter, being prepar-
ed to fill all orders.
Down in this rayine, at this mo-
ment, as the sun throws out its bril-
llancy, the eye is greeted wherever
tree or bush can be seen with pic
lures, such as no painter, however
skillful, can produce.
--Beetown has a Sunday school
but it is slimly attended. The young
ladies should take more interest in
this affair, and train their little BROTH
ers and sisters in the ways that are
good and holy. And, if the young
ladies all took classes, why, some of
the larger brothers might be led to do
better than they are now doing.
DR.. e. NJ. Sala, an old and favor
ably known practitioner of these parts,
who has been absent for several years,
returned to Beetown last week, ac-
companied by his family. The Doc
tor, in his travels, visited Texas and
other Southern States, and returns
with the intention of making Beetown
his permanent home. He will Gt up
an office in good style, and expects to
receive that which he deserves-a
thriving practice. Although the gen
eral health in this locality is good,
there will be invalids sufficient to keep
the Doctor busy; and, when occasion
requires, be will be prepared to soothe
an aching headache or WELD the Ian
Get with precision.
Although planted between two
huge mountains, so to speak, there Is
much life in this little village. The
happiest girls in all the country round
are to be seen here. On Sunday af-
ternoon, as the bright sun smiled from
over the hills into the front yard of
Mr. Phllander Stephens, your cores
pondeat, from behind a window, was
smllingly watching the movements of
several rosy checked girls who were
having merry time A wheelbar-
row was brought into requisition and
they would convey one another right
lively around the yard, and indeed it
was amusing to see their innocent
pranks. Although Sunday, the dear
creatures meant no harm. May they
sail into tie port Of old age as sweet
ly, as softly, as gently as did they
move over the green sward on the
beautiful Sunday afternoon of Novem-
Der s, 1874.
"A most royal little social gather
ing was held at the house of Mr.
Phllander Stephens last Saturday
evening. There were assembled sew
eral ladies and gentlemen, and the
HERALD representative was surprised
to see that Beetown was the happy
possessor of SO much beauty and
worth. The piano of Miss Ocea Steph-
ems was made to ring out in cheering
notes and right joyously did the sweet
voices of the ladies keep time with
the ivory keys. Little Miss "Lou"
Stephens gratiied and entertained
those assembled by beautiful and
unique fantasia Oh the piano, the pc
culiarities of which were entirely her
own. Her production was well
received Fortune telling was en-
gagged in, and call of us" were to be
married, have jolly time and die
happy. So mote it be. After sever
al hours of rich enjoyment, "out in
the cold" did each one proceed in
search of home and sleep. May no
darker clouds ever trespass under the
roof of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephens than
were imposed upon them on the above
occasion.
