The letter from Clarion county, receipt

Rev John y. McGonigle, recently OF
this place, met with grand reception on
Friday Vening last, on the occasion of his
permanent removal to Parker, Pa, for the
purpose of assuming pastoral charge OF the
Presby teriau church in that city. The re-
ccption took place at the parsonage, and as
We learn from the Parker Ddiiy, was an ex-
ceeding!y pleasant and well managed affair,
music sociability and choice refreshments
b.ing the leading attractions of the occasion.
After all was over at the house the entire
party repaired to the church, where the choir
sang voluntary, which was followed by
neat speech--aud the presentation OF purse
containing S20a to the Rev. gentleman, who
responded In fitting terms the whole con-

maker of Carroll township, on having Sc
cured a comfortable ''posish" under the gov

Uncle Samuel in the position assigned
him.

unselfishly served his country and his COM

sided for several years in Ehensburg, Will

peronsly i'll at his home in Colunihns ONO,
