Pennsylvania State Sunday School
Convention,

The fourteenth annual convention of the
State Sunday School Association opened
in the Pine Street NJ. E church, Williams
port, Pa, on Tuesday afternoon, June IL,
1873. In consequence of severe hall
storm, the children's meeting, previously
announced, did not begin very promptly.
There was a pretty full turnout of little
folks, and the church was comfortably filed
with delegates and spectators. The church
was beautifully decorated with evergreens,
rare flowers, and singing birds.
Mr.. John K. Whitney, of Bryn Mawr,
President of the Association, announced
hymn No. 2 in 's Gospel Songs" after the
singing of which, the Rev. ]. Swartz, D. D..
of Harrisburg, offered an earnest and i'm
pressiye prayer.
Alter the singing of another hymn Mr..
Whitney delivered an appropriate address.
using the blackboard in illustrating his re-
marks. The address was based upon the
words, Z" Come to Jesus that you may have
life." He argued that being Christian did
not make a man unhappy. Christ could
make biz children happy under all circum-
stances. A number Of good points were
made. Special emphasis was placed upon
the importance Of Christians honoring God
by being faithful in his service, regardless
Of any apparent difficulties. At the foot of
the cross all might find life.
After more singing, Rev. W. T. Wylie, of
Chambersburg. was introduced, and gave
an interesting and instructive address. The
aim Of his remarks was TO show how the
lost may be saved through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
After singing another hymn, the benedic-
tion was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. McPher-
son, of Lancaster.
The formal opening of the convention
took place in the evening, at o'clock The
exercises opened with singing, reading of
the Scriptures, and prayer.
Rev. A. Henry, of Newberry, was then
introduced, and delivered an address of
welcome, which left no doubt in the minds
of the delegates of the willingness of the
citizens to entertain the convention. The
address was responded to by Mr.. Whitney.
A desire was then expressed to hear from
the delegates to the Atlanta Convention,
upon which the Rev. c C. Kimball, of Erie,
delivered an exceedingly entertaining sd-
dress. He said the place for the conven-
ton bad been well chosen. IL was in the
5 South, in historic city. The city's cap
ture in the civil war cost the nation ~, 900 !
men-30 900 in blue, and $4,000 in gray.
A large army of Sunday school workers
now invaded the city; and not the city, but |
the invaders, were captured-prisoners of
kindness, of hospitality, of the most grace
full courtesy. The object of the Atlanta |
Convention was TO turn the eyes of forty |
millions of people more steadily and more /
studiously upon the Book of God. The
power of the Convention for good was, and /
is, simply incalculsble. The power of that
Convention will be felt from Texas to Nova |
Scotia, ,sand from Florida to Alaska. After /
an eloquent and stirring appeal in behalf of
the perishing children throughout the State,
the address closed, and the congregation /
was dismissed.

The Huntingdon Journal says: ''We re-
ceived stalk of wheat, the other day,
from our young friend, Millard T. Whitta-
ker, of Troy, Kansas, which knocks the
spots of anything that we have seen this
season. 1t measured ten feet in length. :"
The statement of the Journal is doubtless
as true as preaching; but it is Just possible
that two stalks were Joined to make the
length of ten feet. A tricking citizen of
Tuscarora valley came near shutting the
eye OF this office on long wheat stalks few
years ago by joining two stalks so that they
appeared As one. By an unexpected jerk,
while measuring the stalk, or stalks, they
separated, and the sell was exposed. OF
course everything grows to an unusual
length in Kansas.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

Efiior Sentinel and RsPubiicqa-Dcar Sir,
As the time is approaching when the Re
publican voters of the county will be called
upon to select some one of their number to
represent them in the Board of County
Commissioners, and as j, Is very desirable
to hare in this position Gne in whom the
citizens of the county, irrespective OF par
ty, can place the fullest confidence, we take
pleasure in bringing forward the name of
CAPT. LEWIS DEGAS, of Fayette township.
The Captain needs no recommendation to
put him in favor with the party. His loyalty
TO his country in the time of her peril, his
fidelity to the party, his fitness for the posi-
tion, are recommendations sufficient to
secure his election. Fayette, therefore,
presents him as her choice, believing that
his selection will be merited compliment
to worthy citizen.

interfere. The ship. yard is full of bust
ness and the carpenters are all busy on
both vessels.
noticed letter in q Port Townsend
paper signed "Sevelal Citizens" which
in reality is only ONE, from the tone of
the letter; and it is only from personal
spite that he wrote the letter, as my items
to the ARGUS were nothing but the truth,
as it is no benefit for me to lie about n
bridge which carries one safe across. His
letter from commencement to end Is lie
and he is notedas a liar. and his protessed
honesty doubt very much, he says there
has never been any cabin or other place
entered, or anything been missing, to his
knowledge, or has he any FEAR thereof.
1t is nothing but FEAR that keeps him from
owning to the truth. The items sent to
the ARGUS were not an intended "slur"
upon this community, as he states, be-
cause the residents are as good people rs
any there are in any town, and If there is
anything done such as the items OF the
ARGUS mentioned, it is not done by the
presidents" These things happen in
every town. He says business was dull
and the worthy owner tried to raise hue
and cry, to cause sympathy to loosen the
purse-strings. etc. He knows, or ought
to know that have tho reputation of
keeping the best of goods in my line, and
4 fair share of the trade, and have always
been honest and tair with every one. He
