LETTER FROM BURNSIDE.

BURNSIDE, June is, 1878.
EDIroR REPUBLICAN Sir, You and your read
ers may have thought because you hear from u
30 seldom, that we are "dead in the she'll" 1
you have, let me convince you to the contrary.
Lat week the members Of the NJ. Il. church herr
got up a festival to help pay oil a debt agains
tho church which was pressing. They had al
inviting bill Of fare, Ice Cream, Strawberries
Peaches, Cake, Coffee, Sandwiches, Chicken, Rush
aud Lemonade beside a confectionery stand.
The festival was open two afternoons and even
ings. There was eight tables, each waited on BY
two ladies, with the understanding that those wht
took In the most money should have public notice. A
secretary kept account Of receipts with each table
and a treasurer received the money and made Ii,
change. On the FIRST day aud evening the receipts
were $40, 90 second evening. $3.50, total 1920,
Expenses, 800, leaving a net profit Of sl60 to the
church.
Misses Alice Patehin and Lizzie Ross, took in
the highest amount at their table S3l.47, next
highest, Misses Mamie Irwin and Annie Smith
$1,000. On second evening the last two took in
most S2O.32, irst two $3.50.
Everybody seemed delighted. Old as well as
young. The attraction was 80 great II was din
cult to close as the hour Of midnight approached.
The Burnside String Band were in attendance
to eniiven with their music, but during a great
part Of the evening the crowd was so great, aud
laughter and merrimont so high as to nearly drown
even the music Of the band. It was n festival In
reality. The citizens contributed so literally, and
the preparation was so extensive, that at the close,
some OF the good things had to be sold at auction
We think Il doing pretty well to 90 ahead of a
town the size of Curwensville in q Festival al
most up TO tho club" itself.
We purpose having a Sunday School picnic on
the 4th July, on the group plan, a number Of schools
have siRniGed their intention OF joining us. There
will be amuscmea,s on the ground, and The NJ. Z.
church propose to have dinner for those from a
distance who prefer paying for 1t the profits to
go on the church debt.
We see occasionally a candidate for office among
us, but the election fever has not got very high yet.
Miss Jennie McGee, n niece Of our County Com
missioner, was thrown from a buggy about six
weeks ago, near Gettysburg, Indiana county, by
the horse being frightened at a steam whistle, and
her shoulder blade broken and otherwi se injured.
She was brought home two or three weeks ago, and
thought to be recovering, but lately the case
seems to be more serious than was anticipated, and
fears are entertained she may not recover.
We have got all our old timber away this year,
and do not intend to make any more for next
spring unless the price is higher. OBSERVER.
